Hi all,

media-hub is the backend daemon that manages all centralized playback of
anything media related. Currently the only major component that doesn't
make use of media-hub for media playback on Ubuntu Touch is the web browser
(YouTube, Grooveshark, etc). There is a major set of rewrites and
enhancements to media-hub that have been made and so I'm calling for wider
testing of these changes before we attempt to commit it to the main
archive. Please run it through its paces playing with music and videos,
camera recording, headphone listening, bluetooth speaker streaming, etc.
Test it all and please abuse it showing it absolutely no mercy. You should
find the experience is much snappier and refined than on media-hub-2, even
on the slower devices that are supported.

Please test it against the latest vivid-proposed image by flashing your
device via:

ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed

And then to install the silo easily, first make sure of the following:
Install the package: phablet-tools-citrain

Then install the silo via:
citrain device-upgrade 23 <device-password> ubuntu

As you test things, if you run into any issues please file bugs against
media-hub and make sure that you can give a good list of ways to reproduce
the issue. Please use the tag [media-hub-3] in the bug description so that
I can know that it's not for the currently released media-hub version.

For a much more detailed list of ways you can help test media-hub, refer to
the media-hub test plan [1]

Cheers,

Jim
