The following details what a media player should be capable off.

Basics

Every media player must allow to Start, Stop, and Pause media.

  • QMediaPlayer Supports basic functionality on Linux, Android, OS X, iOS

Shoulds

A media player should implement fast forward/reverse, timecode emission and bookmarking

  • qMediaPlayer on all platforms implements a draggable seek bar in place of FF/RW, and timecode emission via socket.
    • Experimental live thumbnail display in development

Nice to haves

The ability to select different subtitles, audio tracks, chapter lists, is a nice to have for a media player.

The pinnacle

A player that supports synced playback across rooms is the master of them all.
