[vlc-devel] [RFC] libvlc changes (v2)

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hello,

I have been discussing a bit my previous RFC (especially with  
Quovodis, thanks!).

Here is the new plan:

Objects:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
libvlc_media_descriptor_t : The object that is the
    representation of a mrl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
     ->new_with_mrl(mrl, options)
     ->mrl()
     ->meta(meta_id)
     ->length()
     ->type()

(Could be subclassed with a mutable class)

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
libvlc_media_instance_t : The object that represents
    the playing media_descriptor.
(used to be called libvlc_input_t, the name is changed
because input isn't close enough to the object real
role)
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
     -> new_with_media()
     -> play()
The media_instance request a vout.
     -> stop()
     -> destroy()
     -> set_drawable() (or set_parent())
     -> width()
     -> height()
     -> aspect_ratio()
     -> ... basically all the libvlc_video stuff (appart the  
libvlc_instance stuff)
     -> position()
     -> set_position()
     -> ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
libvlc_playlist_t : The playlist
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
     -> play()
     -> pause()
     -> ...
     -> media_instance()
Returns the libvlc_media_instance_t where the playlist is played

     -> root_item()
Returns the root libvlc_playlist_item_t

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-
libvlc_playlist_item_t: The playlist helper object
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
-

     -> new()
Create a new empty item.

     -> new_with_media(media)
Create a new item using the media_descriptor.

     -> media_descriptor()
Returns the libvlc_ media_descriptor_t associated with the item.

     -> is_leaf()
Returns true if there is no child

     -> count_subitem()
Returns the number of child

     -> subitem_at_index(i)
Returns a libvlc_playlist_item_t corresponding to the given index

     -> add_subitem_at_index(item, i)
Returns a libvlc_playlist_item_t corresponding to the given index

     -> subitems_iterator()
Quovodis' libvlc_iterator_t


Pierre.
