[vlc-devel] How often should playlist item-change woke things up?

[Kaarlo Räihä]

I just started checking some stuff from MSN now playing plugin and I noticed that playlist item-change wakes up about 5 times per second. Because of this, static int ItemChange in msn.c gets called multiple times during one song. I assume it is same for all plugins that use item-change callbacks.

I was just wondering if this is right item-change behavior?

Attached patches show the issue (and pinpoint it to item-change) when messages are shown with Verbose 2.
