Just another note: Other PlayObjects would be written to implement VideoPlayObject, and other interfaces (like, say, DVD) could be written that inherit VideoPlayObject. I don't see DVD playback going into Kaboodle or Noatun, as the amount of UI required by a DVD exceeds the amount of UI already in those apps. I think it'd make much more sense to have specialized apps for specialized hardware, the way we already have a separate CD player. This way the UI can be optimized for every case. There won't be a problem of code duplication as we already have a player KPart and interface which can be extended to give access to advanced interfaces as they become needed. - -- Neil Stevens - neil@qualityassistant.com "The nearest I can make it out, 'Love your Enemies' means, 'Hate your Friends'." - Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9tuSIf7mnligQOmERAiGBAJsE8aaaJtnMXeyrRMMgrHtQY/jXwwCfbmjW 4NKVFZsZtCLYYMIPRkN85hs= =s+RV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-multimedia mailing list kde-multimedia@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-multimedia
