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.
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'm not exactly sure what's the process for setting up
such projects, but seems ok for me. I'll ask Michael
Hall if its ok to proceed with this.
I think there are some interesting ideas in this thread
alread and we should start writing them down somewhere
to decide what we want/need.
Also this thread is growing quite big and I agree that
it would make sense to move to a separate mailing
list.

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?

Hey Michael, Are you working on a Xbmc remote
for
Ubuntu Touch? That would be
great. Do you have a API to control XBMC?
If so could you pass me a
copy? Thanks.

Hey Jouni,
Would be great to see those. I will most
likely port over
PlayMee too and could use some great design.
Most likely
I can reuse most of it
for Xbmcremote too.
Cheers, Michael

Hey guys,
We've done some nice new designs for a
core music app at
Canonical - we
could share these soon and see if it
makes sense to use them as a
starting point for the UI?
Thanks Jouni Helminen

As far as global control of the app
goes, i think we could
place
something in the sound part of the
system services!

If you decide to go the MPD

mpdscribble which can do the last.fm

Hi,
Lovely!
The code is up, and its quite
simple - though it
doesn't really
do what I want it to yet..
I'm studying at the University
of Gothenburg full

app is kind of my free time

papers to
hand in, so I haven't had the
time to submit any
