[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Adjusted meta data signalling to only send events when the meta data has actually changed.

[Johannes Marbach]

Just to make sure: In that section of my patch you posted, which of the
values do you suspect to possibly be changed after the if statement? The old
meta, that is input_item_GetNowPlaying( p_input->p->p_item ),  or the new
meta, that is p_pgrm->psz_now_playing?

The problem with input_item_SetNowPlaying is, that it fires the meta changed
signal, no matter whether the meta is actually changed or not. By the way,
can you tell me where that function is defined? As I don't seem to find it
anywhere in my git checkout.
