Plasma Media Center/Integrate with Plasma Next (with additional features)

Main idea source: KDE Community GSoC 2014 Ideas Wiki Page.

I guess to integrate PMC with Plasma Next will be very helpful, because KF5 not so far off.
I also think that it would be great for me also as PMC user to add functions, oriented for so-called couch mode, when user don't want to interact much with PCM, but just to get great content:

  • add last.fm daemon support
  • add some visualizations for music, based on wide QtQuick opportunities: for example, some animated audio cassette with song name, gramophone with disk and album cover or cd-player with additional info and flashing backgrounds, based on moodbar data maybe (I also love to draw and have graphic pen tablet, so I would happy to try to implement graphics also).
  • add better youtube and vimeo support so user can watch subscription updates.
  • add some support for tv series databases, that could get series info and check already watched episodes
  • add some support for tracking music and movies news and guide for planning releases (very abstract yet)
