The PlaybackManager was a giant class that handled UI bindings, fetching
stream URLS, playback logic.
It now has been split up into:
- ViewModel::PlaybackManager, which handles UI interfacing and allowing
to swap out the Model::Playback implementation on the fly.
- Model::PlaybackManager, which is an interface for what a
PlaybackManager must do, handling queues/playlists, and controlling a
player.
- Model::LocalPlaybackManager, which is an Model::PlaybackManager
implementation for playing back Jellyfin media within the application.
- Model::PlaybackReporter, which reports the current playback state to
the Jellyfin server, for keeping track of played items.
- Model::Player, which handles playing back media from an URL and
the usual play/pause et cetera.
In a future commit, this would allow for introducing a
Model::RemoteJellyfinPlaybackManager, to control other Jellyfin
instances.
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.
