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

[Walt Horat]

Thomas-

That seems to work if I invoke vlc from the command line. Is there a way to do that from the GUI version as well? FWIW I'm on Mac OS X.

Thanks,

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.
