Play videos in the application using the gtk4 video widget. #21
Comments
I would love some contributions to the project. I currently do not have time for such a major refactor, but by the end of the month I will probably work on that. Regarding the
Maybe we should implement the video in the application, for people where a simple media player is enought, but keep mpv as a secondary option for people who want a powerful and configurable media player. relm4 probably still needs a while so we can think about that and refactor the application. |
@Schmiddiii do you have perhaps a list of good first contribution candidates? BTW, there is this new player on the block clapper, which can do hardware accelerated video decoding, from a youtube URI on an PP, it's just so much better playback experience, that I even went on, and swapped out BTW in my interpretation the documentation of |
I currently do not have many contribution candidates as I would like to refactor the application first. After that contributions should be easier. A few things that should still be possible to contribute to:
From the Matrix conversation it seemed possible to support (almost) any video player using
I have already heared that somewhere but I did not look at the documentation this close. |
Ping? I just tried the app for the first time in a while and the UI is quite nice now, but the lack of an in-app player makes for very unintuitive UX. |
No there is still no update on this. While being unintuitive (something that has also been discussed in #95), I still stand by my opinion that I am not able to create a video player that is at least comparable to most video players out there. Furthermore, it would not be as easy as just using gstreamer as I would also need to download (while playing) the videos from the platforms. The only way I currently see Tubefeeder having an integrated video player would be including Clapper (for which the creator has already announced plans to make it integratable, but I don't know how close he currently is to the goal). |
Tubefeeder is still using gtk3, when it (should) switch over to gtk4 in the near future it would be able to easily play videos within the application using the
gtk::Video
widget.Once relm updates to gtk4 sometime in the future I'd love to do some work here and submit a pull request.
