Patch to accelerate scrolling within mythmusic

[anonymous]

Trying to make mythmusic a little more pleasent to use with large libraries. Attached is a patch that will speed up scrolling after several songs (simalar to an iPod).

Thanks, Craig.

Please use the proper coding standards in the future - mainly don't use tabs and use one space after if. Thanks.

(In [13140]) The libmyth part of a patch by Craig to speed up scrolling in MythMusic's playbackbox. Increases the scroll speed if up/down is help down for a while.

Changes the plugin api so a recompile of the plugins is required.

Refs #3257.

(In [13141]) The MythMusic part of a patch by Craig to speed up scrolling in MythMusic's playbackbox. Increases the scroll speed if up/down is held down for a while.

Requires r13140 of MythTV to be compiled _and_ installed.

Closes #3257.

Seems that changeset 13141 has introduced the following error when compiling after a "make distclean":

playbackbox.cpp: In member function `virtual void PlaybackBoxMusic::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent*)':
playbackbox.cpp:455: error: 'class UIManagedTreeListType' has no member named 'moveUpByAmount'
playbackbox.cpp:476: error: 'class UIManagedTreeListType' has no member named 'moveDownByAmount'
make[2]: *** [playbackbox.o] Error 1

This was the latest SVN (r13149). I will look furhter into if I get time (it will take me a while as I have never written a line of cpp in my life, not even hello world) :)

It seems that the ui.patch wasn't applied in changeset [13141].

The ui patch was applied in [13140], as the commit message said "Requires r13140 of MythTV to be compiled _and_ installed."

(In [14811]) Reduce the speed and timeout of the mythmusic speed scrolling added in [13141].

The current values were driving me mad as I'd attempt to scroll down a screens worth of tracks and end up 500 tracks away from where I started.

The timeout change was fine with my remote, but you may need to tweak the repeat rate in your lirc config if speed scrolling appears to stop working for you.
