This ocmmit adds a LiveTvChannels page for displaying the programs that
are now playing.
The section Live TV Channels on the main page now shows the TV channel
list in order of the channel number.
Additionally, it fixes an issue in ApiModel, where it would not reload
when a new loader was assigned. This is now fixed and some code on pages
that worked around this fix has been removed.
A setting has been added to allow users to select which page should be
opened first. This allows for using Sailfin as a music player
exclusively, as proposed in #34
Special care has been taken to avoid the user being locked out from the
app, for when the library selected as home has been deleted on the
server side. It is real tricky to guide the user to delete dconf keys.
Therefore, a pulley menu with access to settings has been added to all
collection pages and to the unknown page. Additionally, when the setting
is changed, it throws away the entire pagestack and replaces it with the
new home page + the settings page, so the user can always navigate back.
The navigation history of the user will get lost, but otherwise the
implementation gets to complex for a feature that is expected to be used
not that often.
This uses more timers than I hoped for, because otherwise things are
undefined for some reason which I do not know and using timers solves
it. :(
I reused the AlbumDetailPage for playlists, as both are very similar. If
they end up being too different, I might want to look into splitting
them up, but for now it will do.
I finally got deserializing lists working. Exposing them to QML was not
a trivial task either. Note that I didn't do it the clean way. Nested
lists are not supported. But it works!
Because I got so frustarted at one point trying to implement things the
right way, I restructured the project to seperate the Sailfish code from
the Qt code and created a new, empty desktop project. The Qt code has
been transformed into a happy little library, to which the Sailfish OS
application links.
Note that QMake doesn't seem to strip the library for some reason.
