[vlc-devel] Add input option to libvlc_media_instance

[jboileau]

If this helps, I have written the code but haven't tested it. I don't have
the environment setup for it, neither do I have subversion. I hope I am not
stepping on anyones toes here. I just want to help the best I can.

/**************************************************************************
 * Create a new media descriptor object with options
 **************************************************************************/
libvlc_media_descriptor_t * libvlc_media_descriptor_new_extended(
                                   libvlc_instance_t *p_instance,
                                   const char * psz_mrl,
                                   int i_options,
                                   const char ** ppsz_options,
                                   libvlc_exception_t *p_e )
{
    input_item_t * p_input_item;
    libvlc_media_descriptor_t * p_md;

    p_input_item = input_ItemNewExt( p_instance->p_libvlc_int, psz_mrl,
i_options, ppz_options, NULL );

    if (!p_input_item)
    {
        libvlc_exception_raise( p_e, "Can't create md's input_item" );
        return NULL;
    }

    p_md = libvlc_media_descriptor_new_from_input_item( p_instance,
                p_input_item, p_e );

    return p_md;
}

for even better code practice, libvlc_media_descriptor_new could be changed
to:

**************************************************************************
 * Create a new media descriptor object
 **************************************************************************/
libvlc_media_descriptor_t * libvlc_media_descriptor_new(
                                   libvlc_instance_t *p_instance,
                                   const char * psz_mrl,
                                   libvlc_exception_t *p_e )
{
    return libvlc_media_descriptor_new_extended(p_instance, psz_mrl, 0,
NULL, p_e);
}
