You could probably grab a hold on the input (using vlc_object_find) and
then query it's b_die at regular intervals. And then trigger a name
renewal at this time. make sure you call vlc_object_release once b_die
is set, otherwise you'll get nasty errors. 

After the current input has died there could probably be a while when
there is no input before a new one is spawned, you should handle this
case.

Btw, what kind of module are you working on? If it is (as you say) a
child of the input, then the module will very likely be killed as well
when the input is.


Hope this helps (and works).
