Re: Bug 322820 - Playlist is not reachable from home screen
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.

Re: Bug 322820 - Playlist is not reachable from home screen
Hi Shantanu, If you think the 1st solution bring unnecessary clutter to the home screen , we can make it auto-hide like on the now playing screen. Another way to implement Solution 1, like if we presently click the empty area in the top and there is a media player instance it goes to it, we can make it go to the playlist page if there is no media player instance.
