Hi Sunanda !
As shantanu suggested , first install PMC and then use it. Further, see
what improvements you can think of in existing PMC in terms of UI or
existing features improvement.
Some of them are already listed on KDE's idea page

.<http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2013/Ideas#Project:_Improvements_and_enhancements_for_Plasma_Media_Center>
Also, take a look at PMC wiki page to know briefly what PMC does currently

I'm doing my third year of bachelors in computer engineering in India. \
I have two very interesting ideas which fit into the ideas that have been \
suggested on the ideas page. Also, I have an idea which is my own, which I \
thought of sharing with you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Search facility for music in Plasma Media \
Center</div><div> PMC is a wonderful product and can be made more \
user-friendly by giving options of searching according to albums, artists, \
tracks, etc. An option of search can be made. Once clicked, the user will \
see a popup of available search options(eg: search artist, search track \
name, etc). My basic logic is to sort the option chosen. Eg: if user \
chooses to search track name, the songs will be sorted alphabetically \
according to track name. Once sorted, searching will be easy using binary \
search. Also, <b>predictive text</b> and <b>a list of earlier searches \
</b>can be shown in order to make searching easy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Video cropping and sharing</div><div> \
Suppose the media memory is almost full, and the user has a whole movie in \
the video library, but he wants only a part of that movie. Currently, he \
has to store the whole movie in order to watch the part he wants. I thought \
of an option given to the user, where<b> the user can crop the video, save \
only the part he wants, and delete the remaining movie</b>. Hence, the user \
can get rid of unwanted parts and keep his machine clean using PMC \
directly, instead of downloading video cutting products.</div>
<div>This clip can be shared on social networking sites via \
PMC.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Using cloud to access media in other \
devices</div><div> This is an idea, which i thought will be very \
helpful for users. Suppose I have a photo on my Linux machine and i need to \
show it to a friend outside. As I can't take my machine everywhere, I \
can make use of a PMC app on my phone which will show me the media on my \
machine, using the cloud. I can carry all my media everywhere using PMC \
cloud. </div>
<div><br></div></div></div><div><div>Please let me know how you find my \
ideas, and suggest improvements.</div><div><br></div></div><div><div>Thank \
you</div><div><br></div><div>Regards, </div><div>Sunanda Shanbhag</div>
