[vlc-devel] [PATCH] dbus: Fix the instance identifier part of the MPRIS bus name

[Mirsal Ennaime]

The D-Bus specification forbids parts of well-known bus names to begin
with a digit. This patch changes the instance-specific part of the bus
name to .instance<pid> instead of -<pid> in order to comply with the
MPRIS v2.2

see: http://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/2.2/#Bus-Name-Policy
