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.
* Show the now playing cover when playing an item, otherwise show the
collection cover.
* ItemModelLoaders now correctly expose list properties of non-built-in
Qt objects
* toString is now implemented for lists, fixing some query
construction code.
* PlaybackManager now clears the playlist when playing a single item to
prevent weird behaviour.
* The covers are slightly updated.
ApiClient was refractored to use PIMPL. This is mainly done to reduce
compile times whenever the implementation of ApiClient itself changes,
since a lot of files include it.
The loaders have gained support for body parameters, this was somehow
omitted before.
Besides MPRIS support, this also adds support for hasPrevious() and
hasNext() in several parts to determine whether the
player/playlist/shuffler has a previous or next item.
* Properly keep track of the current offset and total recourd count in
models.
* Catch exceptions and store them in errorString properties wherever
applicable in loaders.
- Removed "jellyfin" prefix from files, as they are already in a
directory named Jellyfin
- Split the former "jellyfinitem.{h,cpp}" into multiple files in the DTO
directory, one for each class. The jellyfinitem files started to
become enormous.
- Use forward declarations in headers instead of including files
wherever possible.
- Updated copyright headers
- PlaybackManager now takes ownership of set items
- PlaybackManager can play items just by their itemId, avoids useless
item creation on the QML side of things.
- Allow calling Jellyfin::registerTypes with a different URI
- Minor code cleanup
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.
