Re: plasma-framework, kactivities and kactivities-stats: please consider proper de-KF-ication now

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi,

+1 to what Carl said. Right now my Elisa barely needs any time to read my
music library, presumably because Baloo already has it indexed. It'll be
quite a shame if apps did their own indexing, wasting time and power.

The effects (of removing Baloo support) are even more pronounced if we
consider that a majority of Elisa users are running Plasma as well.
(Citation needed, I know, but IMO it's not such a risky assumption.)

Regards,
Shantanu

I kinda had this feeling when the PMC move to a core Plasma component which
needs more cautious development. It was always easier to work on PMC
treating it as a standalone component, so +1 from me.

 Is there ever going to be another release of the stable kdelibs4-based 1.4
 branch? I'm asking because it used to be in extragear and moved to
 workspace,
 and thus the l10n of the kde4 branch needs some engineering to still be in
 extragear, and it'd be just easier for us if you're not planning more
 releases
 since then we can just remove the l10n handlong in kde4 land altogether.


No, the kdelibs4 based version will not see a new release. We are focusing
all our efforts on the kf5/Plasma5 version now.

Plasma Media Center and external USB drives

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi folks,

While we are busy implementing the new PMC design[1], we revisited the
question on what happens to USB devices. Finally we think we will offer the
following options to the user when a USB device is detected-

1. Mount the USB device and ask Baloo to index it so that the media show up
in the usual PMC (Video/Songs/Pictures) screens. (This option might not be
preferred if the user, for some reason, doesn't want the drive to be
indexed and be available to other apps as well)
2. Mount the USB device and let the user browse through files and play them
manually.

Just like there are two options, we have two questions that we needed some
usability thinking around-

1. Do these two options make sense? Or can someone think of even better
ways of handling this?
2. How (and where) do we display the options to the user, in the new mockup?

Ideas?

Do you mean that the current implementation won't support it, or the idea
itself is not good?




  * Or, maybe she can configure the mediacenter shell to activate whenever
 an

 it could either switch the shell or just launch the standalone application
 (launching the application should be easy, maybe configurable from kscreen
 kcm?)


Or, maybe plasmashell exposes a D-Bus API that can load shells on the fly?

+1 for the kscreen kcm, I think it should be a nice feature in general.



  * The device is a dedicated mediacenter device - the user tells Plasma to
  always load mediacenter instead of deskop

 I think there should eventually be a session shipped by it so is just
 possible
 to login into it from the login manager


Guess the session will always run the same startkde script, how can we tell
plasmashell (rhymes :P) what to load?

Plasma shell - Mediacenter

The frameworks branch of PMC now contains a Plasma Shell which basically

Re: Review Request 118767: Fix for Bug 328532 - Remember the playlist I was using when I closed PMC last time

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Harish,

This is a known issue and is due to the fact that we don't save state while
switching the playlists. Maybe someone should report a bug if not already.

 public:

 d-playlistName = s.value(lastPlaylist, 
 QVariant(DEFAULT_PLAYLIST_NAME)).toString();

   The explicit call to QVariant should not be needed

  I have just one issue in this. This is how I tested it.

 1. Play a media from a playlist
 2. Switch to another playlist
 3. Return back to the playlist playing the current song.
 4. Next and prev don't work.
 5. Once the track finshes playing, the next track is not played. The 
 mediacenter stops playing any media and I have to mannually choose a new 
 media again.

 Imagine doing this over and over again once playlists are switched.

 Does anyone else face the same issue ?

Ideas around Highlight

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hey folks,

I recently added a visual highlight in the All Music mode to help the user
follow the current focus[1].

I am wondering if the simple highlight looks better than
PlasmaComponents.Highlight, and I need your opinion. Please try the patch
at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7647243 and see which one you prefer.

For folks who don't have the code running, here's a before[2] and after[3].

Cheers!

 After trying (with not much success) to use publicly the next/2014.06

 I have to agree that I would feel more confortable with either Plasma 5 or
 Plasma 2
 To me either of which wouldn't make much difference, it's true tough that

Loading and unloading a shared library after use

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi fellow devs,

In the latest Kubuntu release, 14.04, Plasma Media Center's primary feature
- playback of audio and video has stopped working. This is because we link
to libplasma which in turn links to libgstreamer-1.0 while QtMultimediaKit
links to libgstreamer-0.10. This upsets Glib because it doesn't want the
same binary load both gstreamer-1.0 and gstreamer-0.10[1]

Now, we use (and link to) Plasma for two things-

   - Setting the Oxygen theme -
   Plasma::Theme::defaultTheme()-setThemeName(oxygen)
   - Load PMC's main QML file and images which are part of a Plasma::Package

Removing these two from the code, and removing the link to libplasma, we
can get PMC to play stuff fine. However, this means we 1. use the Air theme
which doesn't really look very nice[2] and 2. we need to figure out another
way to locate the installed QML files. The latter is workable, but we
really want to be able to use Oxygen Plasma theme.

We do both these things when the app starts, so I am wondering if there is
a way we could dynamically load libplasma, make these two method calls, and
somehow unload libplasma. I have two questions -


   - Does that ^ even make sense? Will it solve the problem?
   - If yes, how exactly do you do it?

Help appreciated, so that our users can play their audio and video again ;)

Cheers,

Re: PMC Runtime Black Screen

Cool, hope you have it working as well (as in it can play media etc)

You might want to read

links in it. Further, play around with the software and see if you think
something can be improved, or pick up a bug from

 I was just checking out the Youtube videos and I found them of poor
 quality so I browsed the code and found that the type was prefixed to
 360p... Can we give an option to the user to choose the quality of the
 video streaming??


 Yes maybe after selecting the video, instead of just a Play option, we
can show the available resolutions.


 Another thing was that, can we have an easier way to switch to the full
 screen mode because it becomes really cumbersome to go via settings??


I'd love a easier way (without adding a button to the controller toolbar),
if you have ideas, feel free to share :)


 Also, when I clicked anywhere on the home screen, it went to the player
 window directly.. It should be mentioned somewhere that this feature
 exists...


We don't really have any user documentation where you'd show that. The idea
behind this is that the user can see the video playing, and clicking it
takes you to the player - this should already be intuitive enough.



 There was another issue... My window was in the unmaximized mode and I
 wanted to go full screen so I went to home screen by using the back button,
 selected settings-full screen... It worked, then I went back and landed on
 the home screen... Now I didnt know how to get back to the video I was
 playing originally. What to do about this issue??


 You could just click on the video which is playing in the background, as
you've noticed above.

Re: PMC Runtime Black Screen

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

/usr/share was just an example. The executable should go to /usr/bin and
you should be able to run it by running plasma-mediacenter from a
terminal regardless of what directory you are in.

If you make changes and want them to reflect, you have to just do make and
make install again and it will work.

Re: Bug 322820 - Playlist is not reachable from home screen

 Hi Shantanu,
 If you think the 1st solution bring unnecessary clutter to the home screen
 , we can make it auto-hide like on the now playing screen.

 Another way to implement Solution 1, like if we presently click the empty
 area in the top and there is a media player instance it goes to it, we can
 make it go to the playlist page if there is no media player instance.


This sounds good, try implementing it and see how it behaves.

 run some QML code to bring up the playlist. Right now backends cannot do

 1. We can show the mediaController even on home screen (welcome screen).
 It will have an added advantage (can be implemented in near future) of
 directly playing the last selected playlist by clicking the play button on
 welcome screen.

 2. We can add a menu item for Browse Playlists on welcome screen for
 music and videos.

 I will try to implement whichever is better.

Rendering big images in QML1 with GLWidget

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi folks,

In PMC, we have this fragment of code which (from what I understand) uses
an OpenGL canvas to draw stuff -

QGLWidget *glWidget = new QGLWidget;
glWidget-setAutoFillBackground(false);
view-setViewport(glWidget);

While this gives improved video playback performance and quality
(antialiasing etc), this leads to the QML1 Image element rendering a black
area for images more than a specific size (Somewhat more than 4000x3000 px).

The Image renders fine if I remove the GLWidget, has anyone encountered
this before and/or can suggest a solution?

Cheers!

Its not a big issue, just that the graphics/animations might be laggy.
About it stopping to work all of a sudden, how would I know? It would've
mostly been due to something you did (or maybe a rat chewed up your
graphics card) ;)

 *[2]  *-Opened the application
   - Browse Music
   - Selected music folder
   - clicked on Play All but it didn't play anything


 On selecting Play All, the application adds all the files to the
 playlist, but the autorun option from the first song doesn't seem to work.
 I'll be working on fixing this soon. You would have to go to the playlist,
 select the first song, and then it works fine as excepted.


 *[3]* After browsing music i played one song and then clicked on
 forward button that also didn't work giving this error in console


 On playing one song it treats is as a separate instance and not as the
 playlist. Therefore the playlist that you created earlier won't work in
 this case.

Re: Ideas Critical to PMC

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Harish,

Good that you are interested in the Simon integration. This project will
require additions to both Simon and PMC so you will have to closely work
with Peter Grasch along with the Plasma team to come up with a proposal.

 Hi Harish,

 We did discuss some ideas and will be putting it on the ideas list asap.
 Feel free to propose your ideas as well :)


 I checked some of the ideas mentioned in the ideas page. I find the
 project Integrate with Simon quite interesting and would actually like to
 work on the same for my GSoC project if possible.

 Here are some more feature that I'd like to see implemented, either as a
 GSoC or as simple modules anyways.

 1. Creating a detailed Settings page(right now it's really blank and
 contains little options).


Yes this is one of the things I'd like to be done.


 2. Enabling profiles(admin and subversions where an individual can store
 personal settings) in PMC.


I don't understand this.


 3. Several basic features like when viewing Pictures, and option to
 rotate/zoom/crop/add effects would be great.
 When playing songs, adding basic features like Shuffle, Repeat and
 fetching lyrics(and subtitles for videos) should be added.


Keep in mind that a media center should have only basic features. In that
way, I'll want to only add rotate and zoom.


 4. It'd be great if the songs being played can be viewed with the album
 cover and some basic visualization also being added.
 Sorting the list of songs and adding ratings can be included.


Album covers are already shown. Visualization will be a great idea, but
you'll have to do some research on how to implement it. I'll be working on
sorting shortly after we move to Baloo and same about ratings.



 5. Adding simple news feeds that just flow by in the bottom of the screen
 while other activities are carried on simultaneously.(user can
 add the source)


I find this pretty irritating in XBMC, and personally don't want that in
PMC.


 6. The current playing track must not be stopped if a picture is opened
 for viewing(can this be considered a bug?)


This is expected behavior. If you want music tom play while viewing
pictures, play the music first and then go to the pictures.


  7. Finally an idea as such
 http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2010/Ideas#Project:_Distributed_Collections 
 implemented
 in PMC would be
  cool as well.


Not sure if we want this.



 While it'd be great if any of the above mentioned can be added to the
 ideas page of GSoC '14, I do understand that they might not necessarily
 have the caliber of a GSoC project idea :)


You're free to have a proposal with ideas even when they're not listed in
the ideas page anyway :)

Letting users customize the default background on PMC homescreen (Was: Re: Ideas Critical to PMC)

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Harshit,

First of all, just a note, whenever you have a new thing to discuss, it is
a bad idea to reply to an existing thread which is not directly related
(this is popularly known as hacking others' threads :P)

To the topic, I personally don't think it is a good idea to let the user
change the background of the media center. The rationale behind this is
that the background is part of our UI so changing it can lead to visual
inconsistency.

I'll love to hear from others' views on this, especially our Usability
folks.

Cheers,

 This is not exactly a critical idea, but I would like the opinion of

 Does the Plasma Media Center needs to have changing backgrounds? We can
 implement it as an option (user-select) in the settings menu.

Re: Regarding contribution in Plasma media center

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Gourav,

Awesome to hear from you, and nice to see your interest. It is usually good
to start from making small improvements and fixing bugs as it gives you a
decent understanding of the code. You can either pick a bug from [1] or
just use PMC for your day-to-day entertainment usage and see if something
is annoying and then fix it.

At any point if you have a specific question about something, feel free to
ask!

Your patch works fine for me, I see 00:45 AM without the patch and 12:45 PM
with the patch.

 I've made a patch for the issue and it's content can be found here :

 However , it still doesn't reflect in the PMC application . I'm still

 Are there any other files that have to be changed in order for the changes
 to reflect ?
 (I have very basic knowledge of QML). Do you have to reload the

No idea. How do you know it doesn't work for you? Did you try setting your
clock to 12:45 PM and then start PMC? Also, make sure you do a make
install before running the app so that you are actually running the new
code.

Its not a good idea to submit a patch for review if it doesn't work with
you as you expect it to.

 No problems launching plasma-mediacenter on my laptop . However , I don't

 Hi all,

 Am trying to solve this bug[1]. Its fairly simple, I only need to add a
 Apply button which will save the changes and make subtle changes in the
 OK button which will close the KDialog. Then Cancel button which will
 discard the changes and close the KDialog.

 (Some background) I have 3yrs of experience in C++ and some Qt. I have
 made small apps in QT but never worked in large projects.

 I have cloned kde-workspace and its huge. I tried grep-search,ui-search
 etc. to find the file of that KDialog. But, as I came to know KDE uses much
 different design from what I usually see. I don't understand the code
 design. It would be very much appreciated if someone could guide me.

 Kindly, provide me the links which will help me in understanding the

The problem is here-

Hash Sum mismatch

W: Failed to fetch
gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/in.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_saucy_main_binary-i386_Packages

Which basically means something went wrong when downloading these files.
Try sudo apt-get update few more times till this is fixed. If it still
doesnt go away, try a different network connection. Failure to download
these is causing the problems installing the packages.

did you try apt-get update few more times? If yes, It could be that files

 It could be because our college's internet service has a lot of

 packages would have been blocked . I always get such errors and we usually
 neglect them .
 Looks like I'll have to look for another network connection . This is

you have added build dir to your commit, you should not do that. The diff
you get should look like this http://pastebin.kde.org/pcydxtqcg . The
easier thing imo would be to make a fresh clone, re-apply your changes and
remember not to add the build dir to your commits.

Hey Harish,

It was a typo from my end, I meant git show HEAD but it would only show
the diff of one commit. I see you have multiple commits in which case it is
easier to do git diff COMMIT where COMMIT is the SHA of the commit just
before your commits. In your example, you need to run git diff
166b33610ceb4e06976570c66ad9fbc3c60470f9

 Oops ! I'm sorry. This is what it was meant to be : http://goo.gl/XLAz2p


 Moreover , now I'm not getting the error log that I was getting earlier.
 It was a little bit different

 Also, send diff of code by using git  diff. It will be easier to llok
 into issue :)


  git diff doesn't really do much : http://goo.gl/NMtN0j  , although
 I've added and committed changes.


  She was assuming you haven't committed the changes. git diff by default
 will only show uncommited the changes. To show the diff of a particular
 commit use git diff SHA where SHA is the commit-id of the particular
 commit. A shortcut for showing the diff of your last commit is git diff
 HEAD, as HEAD means the most recent commit.

 Also, you cannot push directly to the repository on KDE's git unless you
 have developer access. The process anyway is to create the diff, save it to
 a file, upload it to https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/ where one of us
 will review it (please add Plasma to groups when creating the review
 request).

 Oops ! I'm sorry. This is what it was meant to be : http://goo.gl/XLAz2p

 Also, send diff of code by using git  diff. It will be easier to llok
 into issue :)


 git diff doesn't really do much : http://goo.gl/NMtN0j  , although I've
 added and committed changes.


She was assuming you haven't committed the changes. git diff by default
will only show uncommited the changes. To show the diff of a particular
commit use git diff SHA where SHA is the commit-id of the particular
commit. A shortcut for showing the diff of your last commit is git diff
HEAD, as HEAD means the most recent commit.

Also, you cannot push directly to the repository on KDE's git unless you
have developer access. The process anyway is to create the diff, save it to
a file, upload it to https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/ where one of us will
review it (please add Plasma to groups when creating the review request).

Re: Error(Cmake) while building PMC

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Most probably you will encounter errors when you run make (but give it a
try anyway? It doesn't cost anything :P) because we use some newer Nepomuk
API that was not present in the KDE that Ubuntu 12.04 ships. You will have
to use 13.04 or later.

 Hi again ,

   Since I was doing a fresh install of kubuntu 13.10 on Vbox

 I think I can afford a fresh install since I don't any have any data

My guess is your disk might be full. How much disk space did you allocate

Try adding this to your cmake command line-

Usually cmake should autodetect that, but lets see if this works.

 By looking into error message, issue is most probably due to Qt wrong
 version . Your cmake output says that -- Found Qt-Version 5.0.1 (using
 /usr/bin/qmake)

 It means, your cmake is picking up Qt5 right now.
 Currently, we haven't tested PMC on Qt5. I  have Qt 4.8.5 right now, so
 my cmake give me message as -- Found Qt-Version 4.8.5 (using
 /usr/bin/qmake-qt4) .

 To resolve your issue, check whether if you have  Qt  5.0 version as
 well or not? Mostly your /usr/lib64/ will have something like qt4
 directory. If not, then try installing Qt4 latest version instead of Qt5.
 If possible remove installed Qt5 to avoid any kind of collision.

 Thanks

 Yes , it sure looks messed up ! I remember installing a lot of packages

 I'm asking this because compiling PMC from source is a piece of cake and

 I also felt this would be realatively easier when I first saw Sinny's blog

 To make sure I just created a VM with kubuntu 13.10 and followed the
 build instructions and it works perfect without any issue whatsoever.


 I do have Kubuntu 12.04 LTS installed in Vbox , but that gives errors like
 an Old cmake version and nepomuk-core-dev .


If its not too much pain, can you create a new VM for 13.10 and try
building PMC before doing anything else?



 Is there anything else that can be done with the LTS versions ? I for some
 reason seem to have a strong liking with the LTS versions (probably
 because of the name itself :P )


Get over with then, its not very useful running such a old version for
development. LTS is for companies who have to maintain critical
applications that need to be stable over a long time. There is just no
point using LTS for development, (also I think its just marketing).


 Thanks for your time again . Hope you can help me resolve this.

 page. Sorry for the inconvenience I caused in event organization.

 Thanks vHanda, apol and sebas for your great support but unfortunately
 I will not make it. :(

 Thanks!

Regression from commit 5fdf522c

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi folks,

I just noticed that commit
5fdf522chttps://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/multimedia/plasma-mediacenter/repository/revisions/5fdf522c413869d98135494cb2e379d4bf639dedbreaks
Open With .. feature with PMC. The media get added to Default
playlist while PMC switches to another playlist and plays that. I tried to
fix this by creating a new playlist for command line media but our current
design makes it very complicated to switch playlists from code on demand.

Because the release is in 2 days, I will revert the commit, live without
that extra convenience. We can properly implement playlist switching in 1.3
so that this can be re-added.

Also, lets take this as a lesson to avoid the temptation of adding such
small conveniences after a beta release.

Thanks!

  Hi guys,

 Good morning Christoph

  I know I should have done this step earlier. After taking over this

  interesting stuff, I've been busy with real life in the past months
  (years) and the situation will not change in the future. As I'm unable
  to maintain Kaffeine in an appropriate manner, I've decided to abandon
  the project.

 Too bad to hear but thanks a lot for your past work! I watched TV hours
 with
 Kaffeine and used it a lot. So thanks for your work and Kaffeine.

  Therefore I'm asking whether someone is interested in taking over
  maintainership; I've listed the current state of the project at the
  end of this mail. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to deal with
  patches earlier [ sorry guys! ], so I don't have a logical candidate
  or so. But if somebody is willing to take over [ you should know a bit
  about Qt and KDE and preferably have some Dvb / Atsc equipment at hand
  ], I will try to support the handover.

 Depending on where you are on this planet I could send you a DVB-S card to
 test and port Kaffeine.

 Christoph:
 What do you think of migrating the code and mailing lists (etc.) from
 sourceforge to KDE infrastructure?

 Or would it even make sense to merge Kaffeine with the Plasma Media
 Center?


 I thought of this , too. I think TV support would be awesome to have in
 PMC as well and Kaffeine was always the only working solution for Linux I
 found so far.


This is the most wanted feature in PMC as of today as there is still no
plan of implementation because the developers do not have DVB equipment,
plus the only way to get TV in their region is through set-top-boxes whose
output is using cables like these
http://img.alibaba.com/photo/259155234/3_5mm_Plug_3_RCA_Video_Audio_Cable.jpg.
Is that what the DVB/ATSC equipment accept?

So, in addition to taking up Kaffeine if someone has the resources to
implement that in PMC, we shall offer you dozens of cookies :)

 Hi,

 There is new refactored code in fabian-refactoring-shantanu which should

 * Long version *

 Thanks to Fabian, we had started refactoring Plasma Media Center's media
 browsing code so as to create more reusable components. Finally this is
 complete with all major functionality working.

 The code for this lies in the branch fabian-refactoring-shantanu . The
 salient features are-

 1. Backends can now expose multiple models instead of just one. The media
 browser is smart enough to understand how to display these. See #2. There
 is 100% backwards compatibility in the sense that older backends with
 only
 one model will continue to work, internally stored as a list of just one
 model.

 2. We now have the following reusable components throughout PMC-
 * GridBrowser - as the name says, give it a backend/model and it will
 show
 items in a grid
 * ListBrowser - same as above, but a list
 * SplitBrowser - can show two browsers side-by-side for two models
 * TabBrowser - takes a backend and list of models and shows a browser for
 each model in tabs
 * SmartBrowser - give it a model or a list of models, and it figures out
 which of the above browsers to use

 3. Due to these changes, method calls like expand, search etc now take a
 parameter to the model on which they need to operate. There is 100%
 backwards compatibility where if the parameter is not present, the first
 model is picked up.

 4. Search can now operate on individual models, giving you support to
 search any model in your backend. See #3

 5. *Best of all* We can throw all the custom/duplicated code for All
 Music
 backend as generic browsers in #2 take care of that. (1006 less lines of
 code!)

 What do we need? Well if you get some time, please checkout the branch
 fabian-refactoring-shantanu , test it to make sure no major features are
 broken. Note, there are still few minor keyboard/UI issues which I will
 create bug reports for once merged to master.

 What next? I eagerly wait for comments on how the new browsers work, and
 unless some major feature is broken, I will go ahead and merge with
 master
 this weekend, or earlier if people try out and find no issues.

 Thanks!

Hi Kaushik,

Nice to have you here, its cool that you want to contribute to PMC. The
first step would be to run it and see how it works, the features etc. Sinny
has a step by step tutorial here http://sinny.in/node/25 . Once you've done
that, you can fix bugs, or pick up feature tasks as you find comfortable.

Try it out, and don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck :)

Re: Plasma Media Center build failure

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

That fixes the build, but it doesn't do what you think its doing. You're
creating a new PlaylistItem in that line in the ctor, which is destroyed
when the ctor ends. As we need C++11 for
delegationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++0x#Object_construction_improvement(the
original code), I have fixed this as part of 0ab086a and also verified
that build passes.

 Fixed bug 319626 ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319626) . Now, in 
 the media playlist, remove sign is shown on every song , so the user has 
 to just click that sign instead of clicking the song which earlier stopped

 So basically now the current media is not stopped when deleting an item from 
 a playlist.

UI refactor

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Fabian,

I finally got some time to look at the refactored branch, and it does look
good :) Especially the keyboard working in music mode. Awesome work!
However, I guess we made quite a lot of changes to master and I am guessing
it will take some effort. Have you tried merging master into your branch?
If not, lets decide on a common time and get this done :)

Re: Using plasma enums from QML2

The cons don't seem very problematic, any other reasons why you don't like

that would suck even more :P


On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 11:14 PM, Marco Martin notm...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi all,

 After many experiments in varuious failing directions, i have the branch
 PlasmaTypesClass of palsma-framework

 The problem:
 we need a way to expose the enums used in libplasma such as FormFactor,
 Location, Constraints etc in some way accessible to QML, for applet
 bindings,
 and any possible future qml plugin that needs to use them as properties.

 we used to have a duplication of most of enums in AppletInterface in the
 script engine, that works fine-ish but you still have to pass them by
 numeric
 value (the name of the enum doesn't seem to be accessible, but at least the
 parameters are assed when invoking methods or setting properties)
 and of course you can use it only in plasmoids, and not within qml plugins.

 In the branch, I have now in libplasma a class called Types that contains
 all
 the enums, this makes possible to use them in qml, (or even in old
 qtscript if
 one wants). Is exactly how is done for the global Qt namespace (Qt:: is
 actually not a namespace, but a QObject)

 in QML they would be accessed by name with something like
  PlasmaCore.Types.TopEdge
 (they weren't accessible byu name at all in qml1 so no mandatory porting
 involved from qml part, accessing by number still works)

 pros:
 * used directly
 * removes duplicate definitions
 * typecasts--

 cons:
 * Types name (or any other for what matters) is not particularly pretty
 * in c++ all Plasma::Foo must be changed in Plasma::Types::Foo

 So.
 I can't really get to like this approach, but i think is the only one that
 can
 work in any way...

  Thank you.
 All music, All pictures and All Videos are still not working on my system
 even after reinstalling the nepomuk packages. When restarting the
 nepomukindexer, I get the following error in the end-  Error:
 /var/tmp/kdecache-saurabh is owned by uid 1001 instead of uid 0. I will
 try to resolve this issue with nepomuk community.

 Yes, shuffle mode is working well and mistakenly I pointed it out as
 missing. What I would like to point out is once you have created a
 playlist, you cannot rearrange the existing order of songs to the desired
 one. The only way, which I found, to do so is to create an another playlist
 from the beginning.


Yes, manual ordering will be a nice thing to implement.


 One more improvement which I would like to mention in *Pictures* section
 is that in presence of *proxy server*, picasa is unable to connect to the
 google account or to load the pictures.


PMC should pick up the proxy settings from your proxy settings in Network
Settings in KDE system settings. You should check that.


 Also, pressing the tab key after entering the email id in google account
 section does not move the cursor to next section, i.e., password textbox.
 Keyboard does not seem to produce any output in some other situations as
 well.


Yep that sounds like a good idea :)

   Dear mam,

 Thanks for replying me back and presenting your views. Yes, you were right
 and I did deviate from the main point as I used the software and liked the
 idea of building such an application and therefore I thought more in
 enhancing and incorporating new features in it.
 I forgot to mention some of the improvements, which I think, can be done
 in this application. The open with menu option which I mentioned in my
 first mail also needs to be improved as the user can see this application
 in the above menu but due to lack of functionality provided on the back
 end, the user does not get the desired output response.


 +1
 I like this idea, this need to be implemented.


 Improvements in following sections can be:-
 *Music* *:-
 *Search engine (in Songs, Album, etc.) does not seem to work at all. I
 tried searching for a music which is also there in the playlist but did not
 get any results (neither did it respond with search failure nor with song
 found). Improving the song search can have an alternative if sorting
 feature is introduced by virtue of which user can sort the albums, songs
 etc according to their names. Player can be enhanced with modes like
 repeat, shuffle, etc. and reordering of songs in the playlist is also not
 there.


 Ummm, For me search works fine for Artist, Album and songs works fine but
 yeah, it doesn't display message when search result is zero.

 Shuffle works in Playlist. Repeat option can be added.
 Sorting of media is needed on the basis of different field like size,
 date, name, length etc.


 *Pictures:-
 *Again, clicking on All Picture does not produce any results. Every
 time if the user has to view the pictures, he/she has to browse the
 pictures in the folders first and then load it. Further, just like we have
 the option to select some files and play them only, in a similar fashion,
 we can have option to select some pictures and then view them via slide
 show.


 I guess, your Nepomuk indexer is not running or maybe haven't indexed your
 picture directory. Check with that then All Picture will work fine.

 Yeah, we can think of viewing selected pictures in slideshow.

Re: proposal ideas

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Sunanda,

Nice to know that you're interested in Plasma Media Center. To get more
useful ideas on what things you can improve in PMC, the first thing you
should do is actually use it. Try following the instructions to build it
here http://sinny.in/node/25 and ask if you face difficulties in any step.

 hello,

 I am Sunanda Shanbhag and I'm doing my third year of bachelors in computer
 engineering in India. I have two very interesting ideas which fit into the
 ideas that have been suggested on the ideas page. Also, I have an idea
 which is my own, which I thought of sharing with you.

 1. Search facility for music in Plasma Media Center
  PMC is a wonderful product and can be made more user-friendly by
 giving options of searching according to albums, artists, tracks, etc. An
 option of search can be made. Once clicked, the user will see a popup of
 available search options(eg: search artist, search track name, etc). My
 basic logic is to sort the option chosen. Eg: if user chooses to search
 track name, the songs will be sorted alphabetically according to track
 name. Once sorted, searching will be easy using binary search. Also, 
 *predictive
 text* and *a list of earlier searches *can be shown in order to make
 searching easy.

 2. Video cropping and sharing
  Suppose the media memory is almost full, and the user has a whole
 movie in the video library, but he wants only a part of that movie.
 Currently, he has to store the whole movie in order to watch the part he
 wants. I thought of an option given to the user, where* the user can crop
 the video, save only the part he wants, and delete the remaining movie*.
 Hence, the user can get rid of unwanted parts and keep his machine clean
 using PMC directly, instead of downloading video cutting products.
 This clip can be shared on social networking sites via PMC.

 3. Using cloud to access media in other devices
 This is an idea, which i thought will be very helpful for users.
 Suppose I have a photo on my Linux machine and i need to show it to a
 friend outside. As I can't take my machine everywhere, I can make use of a
 PMC app on my phone which will show me the media on my machine, using the
 cloud. I can carry all my media everywhere using PMC cloud.

 Please let me know how you find my ideas, and suggest improvements.

 Thank you

 Regards,
 Sunanda Shanbhag

Re: Plasma mediacenter rss plugin

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Well right now the panel implementation is a vertical bar at the left. We
are planning to change the panel concept to a overlay which comes over the
browser. This is better because it eases navigation and gives more room to
backends to put stuff. How does that sound to you?

  Additionally, it'll rock if you

 Never did this before but if I find some time I will do so, though honstly

 Btw.: is it possible to add horizontal panels? I've a vertical one right

 to add additional feeds, but urls are quite long so horizontal space would
 be
 quite welcome...

Plasma Media Center release delayed

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

[cross posting to plasma-devel and active]

Hi all,

Today was supposed to be the first release of Plasma Media Center after we
went into a feature freeze during December last year. We made lot of
bugfixes and usability improvements during most of the last few months and
its really coming out well.

However, there are still few critical usability issues that need to be
addressed before we can go live. Apart from the ones reported on
bugs.kde.org, we currently miss a 100% perfect keyboard navigation. We had
plans of addressing these, but most of the PMC team has been and will be
busy for next two weeks (on the Indian side, its two[1] successive[2] KDE
events coming up which is keeping us busy).

So two things here-

** I propose we delay the release to 12th March 2013 which should give us
enough time to address these issues,
** It will be nice if more people can volunteer to polish and help fixing
the bugs at [3]. WE WANT YOU!

Also, Fabian can you help with this and squash some bugs?

Re: Switch and Checkbox items

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 9:11 PM, Aaron J. Seigo ase...@kde.org wrote:

 hi ...

 so we have both Switch and Checkbox items in the QML. we have discussed
 previously and decided to keep using Checkbox on desktop (for consistency
 with
 the rest of the desktop UI if nothing else), though we favour Switch on
 touch.

 i'm already noticing incosistencies creeping in, however, with Switches
 appearing on desktop bound software where checkboxes would normally be
 used.

 there are a few different options to head this off at the pass:

 * decide that Switch is prefered in the desktop shell and repleace all
 usage
 of Checkbox with Switch in all Plasma components.

 Pros: it's easy to make such a decision.

 Cons: it means a fair amount of (boring, but easy) work; it means the UI of
 the desktop shell will be different from the rest of the desktop.


 * implement Switch in the desktop components as a checkbox.

 Pros: this is very easy to do (API compatible; just need to move
 Switch.qml to
 touch components and make a new Switch.qml in the default desktop
 components
 that simply creates a Checkbox); people can use Switch if they want and
 things
 remain consistent

 Cons: it means you can never have a Switch element on a desktop app, even
 if
 you really want to (and use Checkboxes elsewhere in your UI). however,
 this is
 perhaps a weak con, as it implies there is a valid use case for switches on
 the desktop. as we've lived without them until now ... perhaps there
 aren't.


 * simply put don't use Switch on desktop into our HIG and then require
 that
 all UIs that use Switch move that QML to the appropriate platformcomponents
 subdir and use Checkbox instead in the main UI

 Pros: you can still use Switch on the desktop and get an actual switch

 Cons: Much more work for developers; relies on people caring about and
 implementing HIG-compliant UIs; if we change our mind in the future, all
 that
 work needs to be re-done


 I currently favour the second solution (making Switch a Checkbox on
 desktop),
 but would like to hear your thoughts so we can make the best decision
 possible
 together.


+1 for the second solution. as we've lived without them until now is
exactly what I was thinking of when reading your email.

Re: on models, QML and Nepomuk

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi,

On Fri, Nov 16, 2012 at 8:11 PM, Marco Martin notm...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi all,

 I am doing a big refactor for the metadata models in plasma active, used
 to do
 nepomuk queries.

 this made me think about some things:
 * we all agree we want to use nepomuk more

* we also want to use more qml to write user interfaces
 * to display nepomuk data in qml, basically means: to have a model that
 shows
 results from a query
 * i would really like to avoid both exposing sparql to qml and doing some
 weird javascript binding of the nepomuk query api, this is really stuff
 that
 who writes QML should *not* see

 now, both writing qabstractitemmodels and nepomuk query and result display
 are
 two things that besides requiring quite some boilerplate are quite easy to
 screw up.

 We already had a model, but since its query generation capabilities were
 quite
 basic, i already seen it forked somewhere else, duplicating all the bugs it
 had (hello mediacenter :p)


wrong, its not a fork, its just a small and media specific model (nothing
when compared to PA's metadatamodel) that does nepomuk queries and stores
the results in a list. Its only called metadatamodel as the name is pretty
nice ;)


 in the end what a model do, is basically map from the list of
 Nepomuk2::Query::Result that arrived to rows of the model, and format the
 data
 in a particular way depending from the role asked.

 right now the MetadataModel, in the branch mart/newMetadataModel of plasma-
 mobile is done this way:

 The model manages the query in a thread, splitting it in chunks (with
 limit)
 to be able to have lazy loading

 Everything specific is delegated to another class, QueryProviders, which
 base
 api is inplasma-
 mobile/components/metadatamodel/queryproviders/abstractqueryprovider.h
 it does the following things:

 * it sets a query, either Nepomuk2::Query::Query or sparql

 * it sets the mapping between role  indexes and role names

 * given a Query::Result and a role it formats it to the data to display


 this class is abstract, doesn't do anything, but is intended to be in a
 public
 library, to be subclassed, so in qml one can do, after registering from the
 c++ part the MyQueryProvider implementation:


This is a nice idea, flexibility++


 MetadataModel {
 queryProvider: MyQueryProvider {
 //setting of custom properties that control the query
 }
 delegate: ...
 }


I hope one can also say this-

MetadataModel *model = new MetadataModel();
model-setQueryProvider(new MyQueryProvider());

i.e. to be able to use it from C++.


 it provides some default subclasses that have the functionality of the old
 multiple models in plasma active,
 simple query for resources (ie i want all resources that are images linked
 to
 a certain activity, with a certain mimetype)
 tagcloud type of model (either cloud of tags or any other property like
 file
 types, basically a simple group by, very useful for visualizations
 timeline: how many resources satisfy a criteria separed by year, month or
 day

 right now the work in that branch is around at 90% complete i think, still
 some things to decide like wether export in the library all the current
 queryprovider subclasses or how to nicely map to qml things like resource
 types (now there are some heuristics that go from/to things like nfo:Audio
 and
 the full uri)


 i would really love to have this in a place public for everyone, to be
 clear
 that for 99% of the needs of nepomuk in qml, use that. There still can be
 use
 cases for different reimplemented bindings, but if is just a simple
 listing of
 stuff, no need to duplicate bugs ;)

 It may be nepomuk-core? (since it has a library, so unsuited for
 kde-runtime)


Yes please, if this can go into nepomuk-core (however that will mean no
dependencies on Qt Declarative, not sure how thats gonna be handled), it
will be very easy for standalone applications like Plasma Media Center to
use it.


 anyways, as general concept.. opinions/comments?


The design, esp the QueryProvider bit is pretty nice, good job :)

From PMC's PoV, all we need is a metadatamodel which can be used and
extended from pure C++ code[1]. From the design you discussed above, if
metadatamodel lives in neopomuk-core and can be instantiated from C++,
thumbs up!

[1] When this was not possible, we had to do stuff like this
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=plasma-mediacenter.gita=blobh=740d2423a8ff5b8a4b65b1dc371161e81f99e964hb=fbac7a7a1a147deac287709ee0cb002e7f1053fbf=browsingbackends%2Fmetadatabackends%2Fabstractmetadatabackend.cpp(line
36)
If metadatamodel can be instantiated directly from C++, we won't need all
this :)

Re: move plasma tools to plasmate

 Hi,
 I don't really see the point of doing that. I don't see why it's
 better not to have them in kde-workspace is it troublesome for anyone?


 From an aesthetic point of view,

 Q: Hello, where are the plasma tools? I want to create a new plasmoid.
 A: Inside kde-workspace you will find some tools which will make you life
 easier
 and in the plasmate repository you will find the plasma ide.

 That's why we want to move those tools in plasmate, we want our sdk to be
 neat. No?


+1 For The Plasma SDK, this makes sense.




 From a technical point of view,
 those are a few issues for which we have to move the plasma tools inside
 plasmate,
 1. How can someone embed a binary inside a qwidget?
 Example: How can I embed the binary named plasmoidviewer inside
 plasmate's MainWindow::CentralContainer::CentralContainer??


Well you cannot, if you want both plasmoidviewer and plasmate to be able to
use it, you'll have to move the stuff to some qwidget (or maybe a KPart?)
so that they can share it.


 2. Some tools when they are used as standalone applications require a few
 extra ui stuff.
 Example: when I execute plasmaremoteinstaller from plasmate I have a known
 source directory for my plasmoid(thanks to plasmate), but when
 I execute it as a standalone application I don't., so I need an extra
 kurlrequester. How can I hide a kurlrequester from a binary?


Not sure about how to solve this





 3. duplication of code, plasmoidviewer vs plasma-previewer


where's plasma-previewer? Looks like I missed some news :P



 etc...


 In any case, maybe you should put them in a separate repository?


 I believe that this is an overkill and also we don't solve the above
 technical issues.


 Everyone who has been using these tools so far, has done so without
 Plasmate, so there's definitely a use case outside Plasmate.


 When you say plasmate do you refer to the ide named plasmate or the
 repository?
 The plasma tools will be accessible both as standalone applications and as
 plasmate plugins.

 Also those tools aren't a use case outside plasmate. When those tools had
 been created plasmate didn't exist.
 Also after the creation of plasmate, the project wasn't really usable,
 but this has changed by now.

 def CreateDataEngine(parent):
   return PyFlickrEngine(parent)

 So that function it's calling, views.analyzeviews(arg, arg) is calling a
 web API and sometimes that API fails.  The cool thing about data engines vs
 when I used to do this on the commandline is that if it fails at 25, it
 doesn't crash the whole program.  It just moves on to 50.  So I can end up
 in the end where when I click on 25 it tells me that there's nothing in the
 source and then I click on 50 and I can use the data from that source.  So,
 right now if I want the data from 25, the only way I know how to do that is
 by re-running the program and hoping the API doesn't fail that time
 around.  Is there a way for me to tell the data engine to update group 25
 again from within the QML gui?

 Thanks!

PMC discussions to move back to #plasma

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi,

With the recent talks about merging #active with #plasma, I wondered why
have a separate channel for media center. Thanks to Giorgos for reminding
this, #plasma-mediacenter shall *no longer* be used for discussions around
Plasma Media Center.
The primary channel for discussion over PMC will be #plasma. I will update
the topic on #plasma-mediacenter to reflect this.

Finally, it will be nice if somebody could add
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/multimedia/plasma-mediacenter/repositoryto
#plasma's CIA bot so it can spit out commits, any takers?

Cheers,

Thanks for the patch! Little changes though, check the comments below. Once 
you're done, this can go in :)


shells/newshell/mainwindow.h
http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104612/#comment9804

remove extra whitespace



shells/newshell/mainwindow.cpp
http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104612/#comment9805

Its better to have a single method called toggleFullscreen which turns on 
and off the fullscreen, instead of having two separate functions



shells/newshell/package/contents/ui/mediacenter.qml
http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104612/#comment9806

Once you have only one slot toggleFullscreen(), you don't need all this 
logic inside QML. This should just have a call to toggleFullscreen()

Hi, thanks for the patch. However PMC now uses QtMultimediaKit from Qt Mobility 
instead of Phonon (for the time being until stuff is stable and merged to 
master) and so for now the patch won't be needed :)

 This patch makes two additions-
 1. Thumbnail size is hardcoded into metadatamodel, this patch adds a property 
 to make it configurable
 2. KIO Thumbnailer uses a default set of plugins (from global config, which 
 can't be set from PA) which doesn't include video thumbnailers for example. 
 This makes metadatamodel fail when its asked for a thumbnail for a video 
 file. This patch explicitly tells KIO to use all plugins.

Obviously I've tried it myself, and so have few more people, and it works
fine. I wouldn't bother you otherwise.
Anyway, I understand that you are busy right now, it will be nice if you
can do it whenever you become free :) Thanks


 Currently im not subscribed to plasma devel ML, so i cant have it in

 help on this matter.


No problem, I am just keeping the list in sync :)

Well in that case the corresponding entry moves even in the other tasks widget,
