Hi!
I'm not yet totally pleased with the way the user is prompted to choose a
video player backend.
So instead of prompting right away I thought that maybe just choosing a
sensible default would be a nicer user experience (currently the first
available of VLC > QtAV > Phonon).
Since there have been reports with some players crashing outside of
KPHotoAlbums control, I've also added a crash detection: if KPA terminated
during video playback, it automatically selects a different video player next
time. As a last resort, the selection dialog is shown.
I've not yet commited the change to master, but I would like some feedback
regarding the UX. What do you think?
The feature is currently in branch work/jzarl/crash-sentinel
