[vlc-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/2] Expose the preparsed item type

[Hugo Beauzée-Luyssen]

This is a small RFC of a change allowing the preparser (or the input in
general) to know what the actual input type is, regardless of its MRL.

The rational for this change is to allow the medialibrary to know that
it's preparsing a folder that's actually a DVD (or potentially any other
disc type) folder, and expose it as a disc rather than exposing all the
files it contains.
It could also allow for a better playlist detection, among other things

This might be a bit naive, and I'll gladly take hints on how implement
it in another way.

Hugo Beauzée-Luyssen (2):
  vlc_stream: Allow fetching the underlying item type
  dvdnav: Implement DEMUX_GET_TYPE
