[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Resolve XML special character on playlist filename

[Reka Inovan]

It aims to fix bug #9311, which also affect all other xml based playlist
format e.g asx. One that i don't realize is that it also will have that
effect on  non-xml based playlist files. But one quick look to
resolve_xml_special_chars suggest that it will ignore all ampersand that
isn't followed by any known xml entity, so i think they shouldn't affect
those non-xml format..
