What I'm saying is that instead of using -S shoutcast, you will have
to use -S lua --lua-sd shoutcast, a little less intuitive...

We still need to have 3 strings, and the current probe functions only
handle 2...
We need to know both the script name and the loading module, but we
can't have both right now or we'll lose the longname that's shown in
the interface.

Is vlclua_scripts_batch_execute() in modules/misc/lua/vlc.c UTF-8 safe?

I'll just do that then...
