Request For Comments: Snakeoil 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[agent_kith]

After running 1.1.9 for a day, IMHO I'd like to see some features in the future release as below:

1. Normal/Advanced mode
User could choose how technical their Webapp interface would be. When running normal mode, everything remains the same, otherwise use would see the sections as I mentioned below; 

That's a great idea.

2. A terminal on webapp

It's in the plans. Built in VNC also. One of the first ideas in my to do list. (https://git.snakeoil-os.net/snakeoil/sna...-/issues/9 and https://git.snakeoil-os.net/snakeoil/sna.../issues/10)

3. Autostart section.
There should be scripts or apps user wants to load on every start, e.g., a script to run PWM fan module. Also a panel where use could choose which app to run (or to disable) on start would be very useful.

This will be added in Gear Isolation (https://git.snakeoil-os.net/snakeoil/sna...issues/164)

4. System info panel
A panel on dashboard showing which music player, renderer, server and client are currently running, and how many resources they are occupying (if possible).

It's kind of similiar to this idea (https://git.snakeoil-os.net/snakeoil/sna.../issues/49). This stats collection/monitoring

5. A graphical text editor/notepad on Webapp
On left panel there would be a tree view of directories. All editable files would be listed. On the right there would be an editing pane. Imagine you could use Atom, Sublime Text or Brackets on the Webapp.

I thought of that, unfortunately chances of novice breaking things is pretty high. And they can SSH into it anyway.. So in a way, the SSH is the first test, if one can do that, it kindda mean they wouldn't break things that easily. However, if I enable this feature, chances of people breaking things will sky rocket. This is kind of why I havn't added SSH and VNC directly into the WebApp.
Eventually inline edit will work it's way in. Doing that in the short term is just taking more of my time for support, instead of dev work.

6. Additions of Minimserver or BubbleUPnP
I have no idea why there is no Minimserver option on my activated 1.1.9. I have to install it manually.

It should be there? In the install option. If not, just install minimserver manually. I believe right now this player works in conjuction with bubbleUPNP (could be wrong). More flexibility will be added in the next major release.

7. Emby, Jellyfin or Plex
Either one, or all of them.

Plex is supported. Will add Emby and Jellyfin also in the future. (Not sure what they are yet :p, will google).
