plasma-mediacenter in kdereview from extragear

[Jonathan Riddell]

I took at look at this today and discussed at the Plasma sprint..

- possible legal issues with youtube icon, now fixed
- mockcpp pointer to obscure repository cmake message
- qtmultimedia needs a "this is needed at runtime" cmake message
- music and video icon are black on black
- crashes, at times, probably a baloo issue, will discuss with vishesh
- doesn't show any music or videos for me, probably a baloo issue
- needs git plasma-workspace for login to work, cmake should tell me this
- it uses qml bindings from qtmultimedia (from qt5) which uses gstreamer 0.10.  gstreamer 0.10 is old and distros are dropping support for it, in Ubuntu we dropped the libav plugin so it can't play many file formats.  maybe one day phonon will have qml bindings.  it also leads to issues where some other part of Plasma uses phonon which uses gstreamer 1.0 so it loads libraries with clashing symbols.  this is all known and is mostly sad.
- there's no user docs, I don't know if this is still a requirement for inclusion, I don't think they get used much so I don't think it should be

licencing looks all good

I look forward to including this in Plasma 5.3
