[vlc-devel] How to register for status change notifications?

[Peter Tap]

Hi Remi,

Thank you for your help.

I did look at control/rc.c. It seems to add callback for "intf-event" variable.

In my module, which is a video filter, I tried to add the callback

static int Open(vlc_object_t *p_this) {
    filter_t *p_filter = (filter_t *)p_this;

    var_AddCallback(p_filter, "intf-event", InputEvent, NULL);

    ...
}

However, I get an warning "Failed to add callback for a non-existing variable intf-event."

It seems filter_t type of object is probably not the right type of object to pass to var_AddCallback.

Looking at other examples, I tried getting a playlist_t instance:
      playlist_t* p_playlist = pl_Get(p_filter);

However, the returned object is NULL.

I would appreciate it if you could provide a little bit more insight on how to handle this. 

Regards,
Peter

There are plenty of examples in control, notify and gui plugins.

Irrelevant.
