[vlc-devel] [RFC] dbus plugin removal

[Mirsal Ennaime]

Hello,

I didn't realize this until I read your e-mail.
I am willing to fix this issue and I just started working on a patch,
which I will submit as soon as it works.

Indeed, however a new version of the spec which addresses the known
design issues is being worked on and almost finished. (It already
underwent several rounds of review and correction and it is rather
close to being released. The current draft spec is here:
http://www.mpris.org/mirsal/2.0-draft/spec.html)

> On top of that, libdbus is not quite thread-safe.

I thought the thread safety issues had been fixed. I need to dig a bit
more to find out about this. Do you have any pointers ?
