Bug 322820 - Playlist is not reachable from home screen

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

Hi Ashish,

Solution 1 isn't very good because it brings unnecessary clutter to the
home screen. Solution 2 is what we should be going for, however to get a
menu item you'll have to create a new backend and this backend will need to
run some QML code to bring up the playlist. Right now backends cannot do
this, so in order to do this you'll have to add this capability to the
backend system.

Cheers,
