[vlc-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/7] Browse via LibVLC V2

[Thomas Guillem]

Hello,

Second try to enable browsing via libvlc.

My last attempt "libvlc_media_list: add parse_start / parse_stop" was not good.
Indeed, the parse should be done in libvlc_media since there is already
subitems support.

To browse (a playlist, an archive, a directory, a network share) via libvlc:

Create a media from path, location of from a subitem. A location can be
"file:///sdcard", "smb://MYSHARE", "file:///myplaylist.m3u".

Then call libvlc_media_parse_async or libvlc_media_parse.

To get notified of new items asynchronously: either, you listen to
libvlc_MediaSubItemAdded events. Or you can also get the medialist associated
with the media (via libvlc_media_subitems()) and listen to
libvlc_MediaListItemAdded events.

You can also wait for libvlc_MediaParsedChanged event, and use the medialist
(via libvlc_media_subitems()) directly.

Now my question. I decided to use the same parse function that is used to fetch
Meta. This choice can be discussed. I hesitated with adding a new
libvlc_media_parse_full function, that would call a new function: input_Parse
instead of input_Preparse. Parsing a directory or a playlist would be done only
in the newinput_Parse function.


Best regards,
Thomas.
