Description Shantanu Tushar 2013-07-25 17:38:05 UTC

I can't access the playlist without entering one of the modes, this is confusing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open PMC
2. Look for an option to launch playlist

Actual Results:  
No option to launch playlist

Expected Results:  
There should be an option to launch the playlist

this is a change in mediacenter.qml file.

on clicking in the empty area in the begenning one can access the playlist directly, this avoids the burden of selecting the media type and then going to the playlist.

Comment 3 Shantanu Tushar 2013-11-07 17:50:43 UTC

Hi Kaushik, the patch you submitted will only work when mediaPlayerInstance is null [that is when if(mediaPlayerInstance) returns false]. So it will not work once the user has played something (because then mediaPlayerInstance will be loaded and it will have some value).

We want an entry or something similar to "Fullscreen", "Exit" for "Playlist" which will in turn show the playlist. See if you can do something like that. Also, this is just a suggestion, feel free to suggest other approaches which might be simpler.
