I would like to use this thread to release my anger a bit and yell at jolla for nth time.
So I decided to fix couple annoying bugs that were annoying me before i devote myself to yotti.
Fixed one or two issues, then decided to start fixing the player. On Xiaomi Pad6 the playback speed slider was impossibly small. After debugging for a while it turns out it’s an issue with sailfishos.
Okay then I’ve patched it. Next up, I cannot double tap to seek on pad6. Let’s… let’s check how long is 200ms (current double tap duration)… aaaaaaaaaand it’s an issue with sailfishos.
You see the first one is annoying because its very stupid and simple mistake, but I can workaround it on my side. Now the second issue, I cannot. unless I multiply every timer by two depending on if the device is pad6 or not. But that’s not the annoying part. The annoying part is that Jolla will do JACK SHIT about it until they have a device that has >60Hz display so that they’re literally forced to fix it.
There recently was a thread that cut down animation duration. Guess what, Pad6 has it by default because EVERYTHING IS TWICE AS FAST. And because of that its smoothest and fastest sfos device TO DATE.
So while fixing it they should also add animation speed setting like every other os but again, they’ won’t do that.
I could also avoid spending ton of time implementing the gstreamer player in microtube if only they built qmlglsink but no why would they ever do something to help the developers out?
You cannot seek videos if you’re using h264 because its bug with sfos but why would they bother fixing it?
This has been short display of how it is to develop apps for sfos. It’s jolla sticking middle finger in your face and turning back on you entire time.
