General

Documentation

  • DONE
  • Change link in Parole's menu (0.6 only)

Parole-next

  • For a version after 0.6…
  • Add option to “Always hide menubar” to the Preferences-dialog (not sure which tab, maybe the first one)
    • If that option is ticked, we could show an open-file entry in the right-click menu
  • API Updates
    • Extend API to give plugins easy access to Tools menu
    • Extend API to make it easier for plugins to save xfconf settings in parole/plugins/plugin-name
  • Plugins Manager
    • Consider moving the plugins to a tab in the Preferences dialog
  • Subtitles
    • Speed up loading by seeking forward/backward after subtitle selection changed
  • Make the buffering configurable
  • Improve network-performance (mplayer and vlc seem much more efficient via e.g. ssh)
  • New plugins
    • Subtitle-fetching plugin?
    • MPRIS2 support (for indicator-sound and Gnome Shell media player extension)
    • YouTube plugin?
  • Rethink the gstreamer-plugins-installer (packagekit)
  • Include default theming for GtkOverlay in case themes don't support the osd class
    • doesn't seem possible, cause either the cssprovider overrides the theme or the theme overrides the fallback, because there doesn't seem to be a sane way to check whether the osd-class gets specially themed
