[vlc-devel] capturing state of module chain at runtime

[Walt Horat]

Forgive me if this is an obvious question. I have just gotten VLC building successfully and am seeing my exploratory printf() statements in the console, and am trying to learn my way around. What would be really helpful to my understanding right now is to be able to log or otherwise view the state of the current (entire) module chain at the point of beginning playback of media. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,


Walt Horat
