           Summary: No(/misleading) feedback when buffering a video played
                    remotely
           Product: dragonplayer
           Version: 2.0-beta1
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marcus at harrisonland.co.uk


Version:           2.0-beta1 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When playing a video straight from a website (such as
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/graphics/blender/apricot/trailer/sintel_trailer-480p.ogv),
Dragon will sometimes stop playing to buffer the video. However, this isn't
communicated to the watcher very well, and even worse, the, "Pause" button
turns back into a, "Play" button, which might mislead the watcher into thinking
Dragon has stopped playing for some other reason and prompt them to click Play,
even though leaving Dragon for a while makes it buffer and resume play.

First, the negative feedback (the Pause button turning into a Play button)
aught to be corrected for this specific situation. Second, a less necessary but
still desirable change, Dragon should somehow provide feedback that the video
is being buffered, such as a loading wheel glyph over the Pause button or even
just some text in the status bar saying, "Buffering...".

Reproducible: Always
