Instead of keeping qmltube compatible with unmaintained and buggy Qt version, isn't it better to just warn your users that they should install CSSU? Or do a runtime check for QT version and disable unsupported functionality?

Only a proposal, of course.

BTW great work man, qmltube is the software I admire most of all the things in repos (even if I use it rarely)

I agree about CSSU stable quality, but nevertheless I am not comfortable with the idea of making an application dependent upon it, at least not when the functionality concerned is trivial, but I am sure there will be cases in future where there will be no option but to depend on more recent Qt libraries (and therefore CSSU).

I much prefer the idea of a runtime check, though in this case I don't think it's necessary. I moved the batteryindicator stuff to QSystemDeviceInfo, so it should hopefully be OK for the next update. If not, I'll use the runtime check that I have now implemented just in case.
