[vlc-devel] Re: conclusion on input callback

[Clément Stenac]

Hello,

You'll probably discover that this only works if all your videos use the
same parameters (mainly width/height, but also chroma, aspect ratios,
...).

The reason if that if the next playlist item has the same video
properties, the video output is reused, so it is not killed, and neither
is your filter.

But anyway, if the vout is recreated, your filter will be too and you just
have to get the name in the init of the filter, in this case, so.

So you have to do both
1/ In init, initialize the name using the parent input_thread
2/ React to playlist-current callback to keep it updated
