[vlc-devel] [PATCH 00/12] New playlist

[Romain Vimont]

I posted a RFC few weeks ago:
<https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2018-September/121253.html>

In addition to the current master branch, it requires:
 - vlc_vector:
   <https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2018-October/121393.html>
 - vlc_shared_data_ptr:
   <https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2018-October/121451.html>
 - the current player branch from Thomas (will be posted soon):
   <https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2018-August/121076.html>

The result is available here:
<https://github.com/rom1v/vlc/commits/newplaylist>

There is a "rendered" documentation (also available in code comments
where relevant):
<https://github.com/rom1v/vlc/blob/newplaylist/WIP-playlist.md>

Patch 1 exposes a locked version of input_item_GetMeta(), useful for
playlist sorting.

Patch 2 adds the playlist API and the "essential" implementation.

Patch 3 adds the "request" functions (see
<https://github.com/rom1v/vlc/blob/newplaylist/WIP-playlist.md#ui-to-core>)

Patch 4 and 5 implement the random playback order (the order of items in
the playlist does not change).

Patch 6 implements shuffle (items are physically moved)

Patch 7 implements sorting.

Patch 8 adds the possibility for a client to receive the current state of the
playlist when it registers a listener (all UI will do that).

Patch 9 exposes a main playlist instance in the core.

Patch 10 and 11 configure the main playlist and its player from VLC
variables.

Patch 12 implements a Qt playlist list model, to be plugged in a Qt
view.

Pierre is currently working on a new Qt UI, which uses this playlist.
