[vlc-devel] [PATCH] screen: make options as safe

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Hi,

There are several reasons to limit what is exposed to playlist:
- platform-specific settings that will break portability,
- potential exfiltration of user data or identifiers,
- version-dependent behaviour.

I'm not sure if forcing the screen capture size can be used to indirectly infer the screen size or not, and if so, whether that's a privacy problem or not.
