Revision history [back]

Having implemented a steaming app for my Sailfish Devember got me wanting to add lock screen controls, as well as headset/hands-free controls. But being unable to find any apps to steal inspiration from, and having read this leaves me wondering: can I have any of it at all?

Are all of lockscreen, wired and BT controls accessed through mpris? Why isn't that allowed to use? Because there is no guarantee the implementor will behave well? In that case, and probably other cases, perhaps Jolla should consider making an extended QML MediaPlayer that behaves nicely by default, and at least allow that..? And if the implementation needs to change with e.g. new bluetooth stack and whatnot they can do so.

Could we as a community contribute here somehow?
