In this state, you start {{VLC}} as a MPC or WMP. When you start VLC, you have a black video with a cone in the interface, like this one ([http://www.softpedia.com/screenshots/Media-Player-Classic-for-Win2kXP_1.png]).

Your playlist is integrated in the interface like WMP. When you play music, the video_plugins are integrated in the intf.

Bugs:
 +
* Add a file to the playlist, drag and drop to the left panel on Playlist or Media library icon, double click on that icon (that will expand it and show the element just added), double click on the element -> CRASH
 +
* Tools, Interface, Console (problem only applies to this option), File open file, play, close with X -> continues playing (while the vout is destroyed, audio goes on) until the Console window is "selected", then the clip really "quits".
 +
* Height consistency on Tools, Preferences, "Basic". The Video, Audio etc. option text consists of about 4 lines height. On "All", the Advanced is only one line, while the expanded options like CPU features, Filters etc. are 2 lines again.
 +
* File location of playing item in Windows shows forward instead of backslash (also in playlist items) -- Hum ? Looks like a core issue ? [[User:Zorglub]] -- CRASH issue when opening a 2nd file. main debug: adding item <garbage>. Does not happen in WX. When media files are in the default folder (Application Data?) then no problems occur since no path needs to be selected. Also qt4 in gdb refuses to open a file [[User:Trax]]
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Unreproducible (in linux):
 +
* Preferences, All, Audio, Filters, select Headphone then Equalizer, the show settings (to select Basic or All) and the whole left section suddenly becomes very wide/stretched. Same goes for selecting Filters, parametric equalizer right away.
 +
* Interface, Main Interface, Skins, 2 entries of enable transparency effects
  
−
Open:
 
  
−
* File, Quick Open file -> lot of empty space on all the menu options on left side (seems reserved for options that can have a selected option but that is not the case for many menu options)
+
Missing stuff:
−
* Window size is a lot larger than WX (it's already smaller since recent commits. Is this still an issue?)
 
−
* Audio volume slider "doesn't go where you click" (while the video slider does. Is this still an issue? sliders in preferences don't do this either). I considered this as better for "normal" sliders. It can be changed easily. What do you think ? [[User:Zorglub]] Should be left as is IMO [[User:Dionoea|Dionoea]]
 
−
* "No suitable decoder.." too small popup boxes without any cancel buttons or additional information  -- Interaction support is far from complete [[User:Zorglub]]
 
−
* File location of playing item in Windows shows forward instead of backslash (also in playlist items) -- Hum ? Looks like a core issue ? [[User:Zorglub]]
 
−
* Tools, Information doesn't have a close button. Preferences doesn't have an apply or save all yet either
 
−
* Press play makes the icon disappear, no pause icon
 
−
* Playlist icon is the same as the "mute/no audio" button -- Yes, no icon designed :) [[User:Zorglub]]
 
−
* Video, Zoom, doesn't have a (default) value selected -- Same in WX, there is no "default" value for this, it would become invalid as soon as you resize [[User:Zorglub]]
 
−
* Rightclick on item in playlist: 600 700 Object::connect: No such slot PLModel::popupPreparse() Object::connect: No such slot PLModel::popupInfo() (this was a previous crash issue) -- Incomplete popup support [[User:Zorglub]]
 
−
* Start VLC, click on play button, nothing happens. Old behaviour was that File, Open File starts.
 
−
* Height consistency on Tools, Preferences, "Basic". The Video, Audio etc. option text consists of about 4 lines height. On "All", the Advanced is only one line, while the expanded options like CPU features, Filters etc. are 2 lines again.
 
−
* Tools, Preferences, "All", select the Advanced tickbox -> CRASH. Seems to happen when no item is selected yet at the options.
 
−
* File, Open playlist, Operations, Add to current playlist or Media library, File, select one, OK -> CRASH
 
−
* Tools, Interface, Console, File open file, play, close with X -> continues playing (while the vout is destroyed, audio goes on) until the Console window is "selected", then the clip really "quits".
 
−
* Tools, "Preferences" or "Messages" window opened will not be destroyed when main player is closed.
 
−
* Audio, Visualisation, Goom -> CRASH
 
 
* File, Open .. think there should be a "All media types, or all supported types" listed which is default. (Also some File type listings have a space in front of them).

Machine State

There are three entry states to Qt Interface

  • Mode Integrated

In this state, you start VLC media player as a MPC or WMP. When you start VLC, you have a black video with a cone in the interface, like this one ([1]). Your playlist is integrated in the interface like WMP. When you play music, the video_plugins are integrated in the intf. Extended GUI is separated (?)

  • Mode Desintegrated

In this states, you start VLC media player as a vlc -Iwx --no-wx-embed, everything is separated, Video, playlist, etc... You can stack the extended GUI.

  • Mode Minimal

This is the same mode as the Mode Integrated, but has no menu, no control at all. Everything is controlled by right click ! A hotkey combinaison can lead you to show the menu and the controls and you are back to Mode Integrated.

Notes :

Issues

Some current issues being worked on or looked into.. latest reference svn-16791.

Bugs:

  • Add a file to the playlist, drag and drop to the left panel on Playlist or Media library icon, double click on that icon (that will expand it and show the element just added), double click on the element -> CRASH

Mockups

While there are some things we need to copy from the wxWidgets interface, there are also lots of non-optimal bits of UI in the old interface that I think we should improve.
