Big UI Update: Version 0.9 is out featuring a new main UI.

This main UI shows the main actions of the app instead of just a Play Icon and hiding everything else in a pulley menu.
The video player component is loaded only when necessary which saves some memory and avoids some gstreamer bugs (like the one causing a freeze/long waiting when switching from local source to remote source).
Pulley menus could be stripped down and some hidden stuff like the drawer element in the video player were removed.
This makes the user experience a lot better and adds more structure.

Changes in an overview:
  • Redesigned main UI
  • added new main page with gridview and big action icons
  • only load mediaplayer on demand (saves memory, avoids some gstreamer bugs/crashes)
  • less cluttered pull down menus
  • No more hidden menus like long press on video to open drawer (drawer items now in pull down menu)
  • cleaner code
  • History now saves with and shows title if available (db upgrade will convert current history but won't add titles to existing items)
  • Don't add items already in history
  • About page with SilicaFlickable
  • Allow all orientations also for about page

You can get the RPM from Openrepos

If you are searching for the source be aware that there is a new branch on github called new-ui which will be merged in the future (I guess if everything works ok and everyone agrees with the new UI) on github.
