For some time now I've been meaning to add a proper media player to GetiPlay. Why, you may well ask, bother to do this when Sailfish already has a perfectly good media player built in? Well, there are two reasons. First, for TV and radio programmes, one of the most important controls you can have is 'jump back a few seconds'. I need this when I'm watching something and get interrupted, or miss an important bit of the narrative, or whatever. It's such a useful button, it's worth writing a completely new media player for. Second, it's just far more seamless to have it all in one application.

So I finally got to adding it in. Here's the video player screen.
 
The QT framework really does make it easy to add media like this. It still took a good few days to code up of course, but it'd be a lot quicker for someone who knew what they were doing.

I'm also quite proud of the audio player, with the same, super-useful '10 seconds back' button. It also stays playing no matter where you move to in the app. Here it is, showing the controls at the bottom of the screen.
 

If you'd like to get these new features in your copy of GetiPlay, just download the latest version from OpenRepos, grab yourself the source from GitHub, or check out the GetiPlay page.
