I was thinking today how we could make the above idea even better. So,
we could make the "All effect" tab
able to play the video natively.
What do you think? Should we change the "All effects" tab?
Definitely fix and add videos. But the follow-up question is "which way"
-- and we NEED to provide text (improved), to handle cases of "no
internet connection" and "Firewall has disabled download of videos".
With text included as an alternative, I vote for the download option --
because the downloads are maintainable on a smaller number of KDE
servers, rather than making Distro Maintainers re-build Packages for the
purpose of replacing an embedded video replacement. It also saves disk
space.
But I would like to add another issue- I don't like "native play",
unless the Player provides a full set of pause/rewind/minimize/move
backwards-forwards capabilities. The user should be able to set his/her
Window Managmenet Options by getting the video out of the way, at ANY
time. *IF* we agree to require all of those player capabilities, an
actual player (with it's own Window) might be more attractive than
embedded play within KCM. But yes, that gets into politics -- which of
the video-player programs built on KDE to recommend?
