[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Possibility to use locale files as art pixmap

[VlcVelope]

This patch uses a local file called 'video.ext.vlc.png' as an art pixmap for
an input item 'video.ext' if no other art url was retrieved.
These art images could be created automatically during playback, for example.

Regards,
VlcVelope
