Daniel,

Ok, it probably did get through but there's a lot of noise on the list
sometimes. :) So that's great! Right now I'm waiting on the design
team to come out with the preliminary music app design work. It should
be any day now. Once this is out, we can really start to dive into the
work of implementing the UI and making sure we have what we need for
supporting the app on the media backend side of things.

I've CCed Calum Pringle on this email. Maybe he can comment on the
status of this design work.

Regards,

Jim

Hi,

Unless my mail don't get through, I've said, twice, that I do want
to contribute this project to become the default music application
for Ubuntu Touch.

So, yes. Default music application. Sorry if I've been
inarticulate.

One thing I haven't seen you mention yet is if you want to do a
separate community music app, or if you want to participate in the
default music app that will ship with Ubuntu Touch?

Hi Diego,

I think that's a great idea! When is a good time
for you to have a meeting? Set a time and those who
can attend will?



Maybe the meeting could be at 3pm UTC time this
Tuesday (12th March), we can meet at irc
#ubuntu-touch to share the hangout link and whoever
is there and is interested can join.

Hi all,

First, I do think we should move the discussion
away from here, so I'm off to the teams mail list
from now on. I just sent out a mail, which I
pasted below.

Michael, I agree with you that we should probably
be talking now first hand and writing it down.
See the mail below.

Zisu, agreed. Its better if we try to work
together instead of having all these different
projects. At least in the beginning. Although I
might say that I want a separated music and video
player. But remote things sounds nice. Using mod
this would be easier.

And about Umedia, I'm thinking about reusing,
almost porting, the whole thing for this project.
But this is a discussion for the team.



Hi, I'm the one who did UMedia, so let me know and
maybe i can speed up things if we found another
design that fits better for the phone or something,
because i already know the qml and c++ code of that
project, maybe we can arrange a kind-of-meeting via
IRC or hangout or something to talk about this and
move forward.


Mail: Hi everyone and welcome,

I think we should start of my deciding what we
want this application to be. So I propose that
everyone, who'd like, write down what features
they want, and then we discuss these features and
if we all agree with therm, create a blueprint
and a goal.

Features for the first release is primary focus,
but features for later versions are welcome too,
of course.

What I want the player to do: * play music tracks
of a diverse container from local device. * pause
track, and use previous and next track. * being
able to shuffle * Scrabble tracks * use slider to
move quickly in the track * download and show
album art automatically. * use playlists,create
and edit them. * sort by artist, album and track
* sound menu for global management.

These are the features I could imagine for later
on : * support for upnp * for ampache *
groveshark/spotify. * YouTube support * lyrics

Please share your ideas and create a base of our
development.

Cheers, Daniel

Guys,

I'm really new to QML and am still figuring out a
lot of stuff, so my code is not beautiful..

May I say hold your horses until we find a
suitable architecture for both the backend and
the frontend? Mybalsamiq should probably do it
for both, and we can more easily follow
discussions for each over there.

For the backend side of things, I quite like mpd
side of things rather than plugging in to the
low-level gstreamer. We should sketch out a
structure for it.

For the front-end side of things, I think we
should probably wait for Canonical to publish
their application and see where we can take it
from there, but we can definetely brainstrom
until then.

I see some nice ideas regarding remote control.
We should probably think about integrating
controlling something with the phone and maybe
having the phone plugged into the tv and allowing
it to be controller (maybe a bluetooth
keyboard).

Also, we need to sort out the level of
integration between the Music Player and the
Video player. I would quite like to see a very
integrated manner. Maybe even have them as one:
Player (like VLC).

Akash, what do you mean by global control? I'm
thinking the same kind of global media buttons as
in the sound indicator, is that what you mean?

Someone asked a really interesting question
regarding global control. The way Ubuntu
currently doess it is through DBus, displaying
play/pause and next track in the Sound menu.
However, it seems like they have become more like
settings controls in Ubuntu Phone and I am not
entirely sure how they will look in 14.04. Maybe
someone in Canonical can enlighten us on this
issue? My thought on this is, use the same
pattern, as it goes nicely with the other menus,
like Messeging and the like.

I'll ask Michael Hall if its ok to proceed with

I think there are some interesting ideas in this

Also this thread is growing quite big and I agree

Hi Diego,

You are very much welcome to join if you
like.

I can see that you got pretty far(!) with

your UMedia. It looks good.

The thing that I'm most concerned about is

just moving along Ubuntu's

UI guidelines. But the rest looks pretty

much like the features and

all, that I'd like.


Yes, i agree the UI is not the best, i was

thinking to redo that part

also, i wasn't happy about the UI/UX


Would you like to help out?


Of course, where is the team to join?
