[vlc-devel] [PATCH 0/4] Add multi-playlist support

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Hi,

There's a plugin API providing the same functionality.

VLM is nothing but a proof of concept for multiple inputs. And that's the wording of its original author (not me). It was never meant to be usable, and indeed it hardly is.

As far as I've seen people who need multiple inputs use multiple instances (typically in a process each), not the horrible VLM.
