[vlc-devel] libvlc_MediaInstanceReachedEnd called twice

[jboileau]

Hum... Looking at the code in media_instance.c in the function
input_state_changed where the event is sent from, I can see that the u
member of the event struct is left uninitialized (I think it should at
least get initialized to 0). It is then not a good idea to rely on an
uninitialized variable to discern between the two times the event is
triggered. The best I can do is ignore every other
libvlc_MediaInstanceReachedEnd event. Something like:

static bool ReceivedFirst = false;
if (!ReceivedFirst)
{
    ReceivedFirst = true;
    // *** Do my stuff here ****
}
else
{
    ReceivedFirst = false;
}

(I can see I am mostly talking to myself in this thread :-) but hey it
might serve somebody else, who knows. Anyway most of my colleague's
wouldn't find it to abnormal for me to be talking to myself! It ain't
the worst I have done!)
