Add UI to show current state #64

Closed alok0 closed 8 years ago

alok0 commented 9 years ago

I'd like to see something that shows the current state of room (or state of each user), eg, playing/paused and what the current time is.

Et0h commented 9 years ago

It might be possible to provide some of this information through a modified version of the console-based userlist. Could you please provide a more detailed example of what you want and why you want it. Are you more interested in what is happening in the room you are in, or in other rooms (on a private server), or both equally?

Uriziel commented 9 years ago

@Et0h, as far as I remember it is not possible to show states of other room easily (without modifications to protocol, server code or butchering the server).

Et0h commented 9 years ago

@Uriziel Yeah, that's my understanding too, and is why I am interested in whether they are bothered about other rooms, because if that is what the user wanted then it isn't feasible in the short term.

Uriziel commented 9 years ago

@Et0h not even sure it would be possible in Syncplay 2

Et0h commented 9 years ago

@Uriziel Good to know.

alok0 commented 9 years ago

Oh, uh, I guess I wasn't really clear. I just want the current state of the current room to be displayed in the ui.

Et0h commented 9 years ago

Why are you interested when that information is already displayable in the media player?

alok0 commented 9 years ago

Call it paranoia, but it makes me worry when there is no indication the application is working or not.

Actually this could just be integrated into the player controls in Syncplay. Who doesn't want them just deactivates them. Currently there are only controls but they could easily also give feedback about the current state. (Change Time-Box content when not selected / editing; deactivating play / pause buttons depending on state)

Et0h commented 8 years ago

Disabling play/pause as appropriate to show state seems reasonable, but I'm not convinced about changing the seek time input box as it is useful for people to know what it will seek to if they press the seek button.

DerGenaue commented 8 years ago

After it is edited you can just stop the updating for either 10 seconds or until the set time button is pressed
