Pull Request for Webworks plugin: NowPlaying

[trsong]

Before talking about plugin, I want to thank you Tim. Without your help at the code sprint and support throughout the term, it is impossible for me to finish this plugin! I feel much appreciated!

The NowPlaying Plugin is able to do the following:

• load songs from the internet (I have searched a lot of information but still could not find the right way to load a local song)
• stop and switch to different song
• play song
• pause
• stop playing song
• load the source address of the song.

Since I don't have a lot knowledge of the html, I couldn't find a right way of creating a slider and synchronize its value to the position of the song when playing. I, at lease, done the following:

• get the total length of the song
• get the current position of the song when playing

Hopefully, there is anyone who is good at html and javascript can implement that by using the above functionality.

Also, I find an easy way of programming in qt is to emit your own signal, and I have gone through the SystemDialogue and MediaKey, but neither of them had used this trick. If only they knew the trick, life would be a lot simpler!

Again, thank you very much, Tim!

@trsong you can leave out the debug1 folder - and all the leftover screenshots from the Template.

I don't know if you've got any time left, but if you do, there's a bit more that could be done with this - instead of starting with a URL loaded, it should accept one in a call from the JavaScript API. Also, we could really use an API to pass in MetaData from JavaScript, in a JSON object.

Regardless, the foundation here is the hard part and the rest of the work is pretty minor so you've got us in a good spot to tweak it.

@timwindsor Now metadata can be passed through the plugin, and all unnecessary files have been removed. Everything works perfect now.
