[vlc-devel] [RFC] bumping the dummy interface capabilities.

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hello,

The main complaint about VLC vs mplayer for advanced users, is that  
vlc needs an interface to run, whereas mplayer doesn't. We know that  
this is absolutely wrong. But because `vlc mycoolmovie.mp4` launches  
the qt4 interface by default on most linux distrib, most users thinks  
they need they have to use the qt4 interface to run vlc.

I would propose that:
1- `vlc mycoolmovie.mp4` should behave like if -I dummy has been set  
if running from a terminal. Distribution would launch vlc using -I qt4  
in graphical mode.

2- `vlc` behaves like `vlc -I qt4`.

Technically that mean increasing the capbility rank of the dummy  
interface beyond the standard gui interface.

What do you think?

Pierre.
