[vlc-devel] Metadata overflow

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hello,

I don't see why having much types is a problem. it makes easier to  
track what are the possible known values.

I would tend to like to go for everything in the dictionary, while  
keeping the vlc_meta_t around but having it as a string. That would  
be really nice in the API Side.

My only concern would be the fact that we (I) am not sure of the  
vlc_dictionary_t performance, and especially its hash function.  
Though in theory, in the best cases we are in O(1) in all operations  
(adding, getting).

But existing solution is definitely faster than the hash table in all  
cases. Yet some benchmark would be nice.

This one is used a lot, but should be deleted I think.
