[vlc-devel] main libvlc error: input item... when calling libvlc_release

[jboileau]

Hi Pierre,

I think I have found something. libvlc_media_release is called by
libvlc_media_player_release. Since I call it and
libvlc_media_player_release calls it I figured this might be one to
many times. I commented out my libvlc_media_release and there is no
assert anymore. Was my call to libvlc_media_release superfluous and
damageable?

I know some of the functions in libvlc_media_player_... take care of
releasing the media(libvlc_media_player_release,
libvlc_media_player_set_media, probably others). There may be good
reasons to do this. But if it is only for convenience, this is not my
prefered way of doing things. If I create something I would rather be
responsible for releasing it. Even if it meant an extra call before
libvlc_media_player_set_media. I like that 'create' and 'release' are
paired at the same level of code. Just my opinion...

Jacques
