Roadmap to Parole 0.6.2

  • Add “Go to position” feature and a hidden setting for controls-timeout
  • Bugfix: When playing back a stream, I get a lot of “(parole:29323): GLib-GObject-WARNING : value ”-1“ of type 'gint64' is invalid or out of range for property 'absolute-duration' of type 'gint64'” * Bugfix: There's some odd g_object_unref or something in the play/pause code or something like that, i get lots of “(parole:29323): GLib-CRITICAL : Source ID 1787 was not found when attempting to remove it” errors
  • Fix mouse-cursor hiding when dialogs are open (i.e. make hiding more intelligent)
    • when opening e.g. the preferences during playback, the mousecursor gets hidden when hovering the content, which can be irritating, instead we should always show the cursor in this case
  • Fix building of plugin-docs
  • Rethink the gstreamer-plugins-installer (packagekit)
  • 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?
    • YouTube plugin?
  • 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
