[vlc-devel] How to monitor playlist changes in a filter module?

[Peter Tap]

Rémi,

Thank you for your constructive criticism. VLC programming model has become a lot more clear to me. 

It appears there is no simple way for a video filter module to get playlist information. The only way appears to be that I create another "interface" type module and have my own way of communicating between the video filter module and the interface module.

Is there a simpler way?

Thanks
Pradeep

struct intf_thread_t
{
    VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS
        
    struct intf_thread_t *p_next; /** LibVLC interfaces book keeping */
    /* ... */
};

struct filter_t                      
{
    VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS

    /* Module properties */
    module_t *          p_module;

    filter_sys_t *      p_sys;
    /* ... */
};

What do you infer?
