--- Comment #4 from b...@mogwai.be --- Some comments regarding the latest state of things on windows: > 1. The Storage option in the Settings App is broken. It leads to an empty > screen as shown in attached screenshot. This is a qt and kde xdg portal issue: it either works on windows or on flatpak linux. Since we have a lot more users using flatpak, I'm afraid this doesn't work on windows right now. I'm trying to find the right place to file a bug report on the component causing the issue. > 2. Discover tab does not load any suggestions. Tested this today; seems to work. If you type something and press enter or the search button, you should get results. > 3. Change in voice when playback speed is increased. No issues when played > at normal speed. > I tried below podcast at 1.25 times the speed. > https://7goodminutes.com/podcast/how-to-be-unstoppable > 4. The playback speed by default is showing up as zero. Please refer to > attached screenshot. Both issues are now solved with a major audio backend update. The backend even allows streaming. > 5. The screenshot of the channel on the playback screen can be a little > centered. Please refer to attached screenshot. This is a design decision: on KDE plasma the header bar blends in with the top window bar so it becomes one surface of the same colour. I agree it doesn't look that nice on windows. I'm working on a revamp of the header controls which would look everywhere. It should be in the next release. > Features Wishlist - Would be nice to have. > Please note this is just my personal opinion and not a demand for feature. I > am appreciative that Free/KDE software is even available for windows users. > > 1. A streaming option in addition to the download option. Is available since 22.11 (or 22.09, I forgot :) ) > 2. The played episodes can be greyed out a little to differentiate from the > unplayed ones. This can work along side the played label on the The original Kasts application had this, but I got a lot of negative feedback for that. People said that the lists looked "washed out". But I kind of agree with you on this one. > 3. Ability to set below options at global level. > 3.1. Default Playback speed. > 3.2. Ability to increase playback speed in scale of 0.1 instead of 0.25. > Personal Note - Playback speed at 1.3 or 1.4 is a sweetspot On the todo list. There's even a branch that has it half-implemented. Will happen in the future. > 3.3. Default Seek timer - Instead of 10 seconds default. It's been on my list for quite a long time. It's not even that hard to implement. It will happen at some point in the near future. > 3.4. Default Sleep timer. Kasts will remember your last setting. > 4. Option to seek forward and backward using keyboard. This already works with media keys. I'm not sure which keys to bind it to on a regular keyboard though. The arrows are already used for navigation. > 5. Ability to sort queue based on podcast title and podcast duration. A search feature is on the todo list. > 6. Dark Mode. Is already there for linux. I have no clue how to do this for windows, though. > 7. In-Place Update. Also not sure what to do. I'm reusing the KDE windows build infrastructure. I don't any of the details of the flow. :-) > 8. Personal observation - Not applicable for all. Please ignore if not > applicable. > In the settings, the options look like they are hanging. For example, in > Queue Settings, the empty space above the New Episodes appears as if > something was supposed to get loaded but did not get loaded. > They are perfectly symmetrical, no issues with that and logical as > well. A > main heading followed by a sub heading, but the empty spaces kind of looks a > little awkward. The settings have been completely revamped using a new framework. So that should solve the issues you've mentioned. > ADDITIONAL INFORMATION > Positive Feedback on the App: > 1. Very cool app icon. > 2. Excellent work on the player. The import from .opml file was excellent > and fast. > 3. Great job in marking the episodes as played on import. > 4. Sound quality was good, no crackling sounds as found in few podcast apps. Thanks! Very much appreciated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
