[Idea] Waveform seekbar #152

Closed XanderLeaDaren closed 4 years ago

XanderLeaDaren commented 4 years ago

Thank you everyone for the work done to ingreater even better Rhythmbox within Gnome.

As a question, how difficult would it be to feature a waveform seekbar, similar to the one to be found in other softwares, like e.g. in Quod Libet ?

Should be fairly straightforward if you take the ideas behind

If you look at the code there it takes the gstreamer data and creates a graph. So - a bit of manipulation and you could create a waveform like idea.

This issue isnt in scope for this plugin so I'll close it here. Hopefully the above will inspire you. Good luck!
