[vlc-devel] Re: chasing playlist bug ...

[jmzorko at mac.com]

Hello, all ...

I now know what the problem is -- when playlists are read from a  
file, the "sout" variable in the input thread object (as they're  
created I guess) is filled with the sout from the command line e.g.  
#duplicate{... ... ...}.  However, items added to the playlist via  
the rc interface do not get the sout value filled -- it's empty.  I  
tested this hypothesis by forcing any empty "sout" variable inside  
src/input/input.c's Init() function to be set to my sout, just to see  
if the new item will stream as the others do -- and it did.

I'm going to look for the code that fills the "sout" variable when  
the items are read from a playlist file, then see what I need to do  
to make it be filled when adding new items to the playlist via the rc  
interface.

Regards,

John
