[vlc-devel] [PATCH] -- media_list and media_list_player(update2)

[brezhoneg1]

I realize this patch is not easy to review.

It seems to me the developer left an unfinished work as far as
media_list_player is concerned. Unlike most parts of the API which are
wholly operational, media_list_player was a first draft, and was
obviously never tested and never completed (events-wise)

Actually, if the developer is still around, he may be a great help to
discuss this patch. Especially as a media_list_player is a playlist
automation and locking/multiple access and so on are far from trivial in
such a work.

As for locking, I took hotkeys.c as an example of how to handle
cond_wait with vlc wrappers. But, please tell me what you find
suspicious. I may be wrong somewhere.
