Plasma/Plasma Media Center/Notes for PMC2

From KDE Community Wiki
  • Standalone shell and Plasma shell package
  • Settings module to enable user configure appearance, media sources etc
  • Design to avoid hacks to get objects across bindings (like accessing QML objects from C++)
  • Design so that components can work without a view (e.g. QML)
  • Organize libs/mediacenter into subdirs for different functionality
  • Handle AlbumArt/Artist art generation more consistently. (For example, the ones in All Music are fetched from last.fm whereas the one in media player is fetched from another declarative image provider)
  • General cleanup of AbstractBrowsingBackend
  • Make MediaPlayer support KIO based URIs (such as ones over bluetooth, MTP etc)
