| | See https://apps.kde.org/elisa/ |
| | |
| Elisa is a simple music player aiming to provide a nice experience for its users.
| |
| | |
| == Try It ==
| |
| | |
| Some packages ready to install may exists. As far as I know, there is an AUR for ELISA. There should also be a package in Neon.
| |
| | |
| == Compilation from source ==
| |
| | |
| Elisa has a few dependencies mainly from Qt5 and KF5. Currently the list is:
| |
| * Qt5::Core
| |
| * Qt5::Network
| |
| * Qt5::Qml
| |
| * Qt5::Sql
| |
| * Qt5::Multimedia
| |
| * Qt5::Svg
| |
| * Qt5::Gui
| |
| * Qt5::Widgets
| |
| * Qt5::Quick
| |
| * Qt5::DBus (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::I18n
| |
| * KF5::Config
| |
| * KF5::KCMUtils
| |
| * KF5::Baloo (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::Declarative (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::CoreAddons (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::FileMetaData (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::DocTools (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::XmlGui (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::Crash (recommended)
| |
| * KF5::DBusAddons (recommended)
| |
| | |
| For example on Debian and derivatives you may use:
| |
| | |
| apt-get install qtbase5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libkf5i18n-dev libkf5filemetadata-dev baloo-kf5-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5kcmutils-dev libkf5declarative-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5doctools-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev libkf5crash-dev libkf5dbusaddons-dev

| | |
| The way Elisa application is built is completely standard for an application based on Qt5, KDE Frameworks 5 and cmake:
| |
| | |
| ; [[Guidelines and HOWTOs/Build_from_source| Build from source]]
| |
| | |
| The next state is to get Elisa sources and build them:
| |
| | |
| git clone https://anongit.kde.org/elisa.git
| |
| | |
| cd elisa
| |
| | |
| mkdir build
| |
| | |
| cd build
| |
| | |
| cmake ..
| |
| | |
| make
| |
| | |
| You can execute it with the following command:
| |
| | |
| ./elisa/build/src/elisa
| |
| | |
| == Goals ==
| |
| | |
| * being easy to setup (ideally, one would not setup anything before being able to use it) ;
| |
| * being fully usable offline (or in privacy mode) ;
| |
| * being open to leverage online services but not a development priority (the experience should not be degraded when you are offline) ;
| |
| * being focused on satisfying users' goals ;
| |
| * being focused on music player (managing your music collection is not a development priority). This means that it is not a direct fulfillment for people needing that. This seems that a dedicated application would be more appropriate ;
| |
| * being as much as possible bug free (meaning stability has higher priority than feature development) ;
| |
| * targets Linux Plasma Workspace, other Linux desktop environments, Android and Windows ;
| |
| * being able to leverage UPnP DLNA.
| |
| | |
| == Design Open Questions ==
| |
| | |
| The design of Elisa currently leaves open questions about the direction. At least the following points need an identified solution that could be implemented:
| |
| | |
| * Implement User Centered Design to help guide the development (definition of persona, ...) ;
| |
| * trying to combine an interface to be used with the mouse and with the touchscreen commonly found on laptops ;
| |
| * how to decide what is done by single click, double click or single long click.
| |
| | |
| == Description of the Application Architecture ==
| |
| | |
| Currently music is retrieved from Baloo and put in an SQLite memory database. Live refresh from Baloo is not working.
| |
| | |
| The user interface is done in qml with Qt quick controls 1.
| |
| | |
| The UPnP support is probably broken right now.
| |
| | |
| == Current Interface ==
| |
| | |
| The following snapshots show the current interface. They are only indicative and everything is open for improvements.
