[vlc-devel] [PATCH 4/7] playlist: cancel preparsing upon playback

[Filip Roséen]

This will cancel any pending request for preparsing the relevant
playlist_item_t as preparsing the entity:

 - is redundant since we are about to start playback,
 - can remove metadata added during playback, and;
 - can lead to duplicate entries in the playlist if the
   playlist_item_t is a directory (as children are added each time
   such entity is "played").
