[vlc-devel] Help offer: Adding a filter access API to libvlc

[jboileau]

I thought you where doing something to manipulate the var strings
directly. But if these can be used instead, great.

A few questions:

How would I get the object chain of type video_filter_chain_t? To be
able to Insert or remove we need to have the chain to start with.

How would this chain get associated with the vout_thread_t object?

I am presently using things like :
var_SetString( p_vout, "vout-filter", "magnify");
var_SetString( p_vout, "video-filter", "adjust" ); etc.
to enable filters. Is your API another way to do the same thing but
with better control?

Some remarks:

Wouldn't be useful to have:
int video_filter_Get_Position( chain, "name" )
That way we can note the position of a filter before removing so we
can insert it back at the same position later on.

I fail to see the need of both the name and position when removing.
