this is perhaps going to sound a bit odd and perhaps even contradictory to past direction elsewhere (e.g. to how we do things with plasma-desktop) but it probably makes a lot more sense for the media player to show video in a separate window that is positioned without window borders. that will allow video to be played using xvideo or whatever which is going to be a hell of a lot faster in these cases than pushing it through the QGrahicsScene. if one wants to have overlays on top of the video, then i'd suggest putting the video window _behind_ the Plasma::View window and paint the background of the Plasma::View transparent. this means requiring compositing, but that's ok in this case afaic. (this, btw, is exactly what some of the other linux based media centers do) anyone else have thoughts? -- Aaron J.
