[vlc] Re: VLC Playlist Options with Dummy Interface

[Pranjal Dutta (prdutta)]

Hi ,
           Thanks for clarifying with all details. I was thinking of 
getting some messages thrown out if igmpV3 is available in my OS. Windows 
didn't show anything  with verbose -vv, but my linux Kernel (2.4.20) has 
clearly shown that it doesn't support IGMPv3. Now I am sure that it will 
work if I patch my kernel with IGMPv3 or upgrade it to higher versions. 
Basically my experiment is linbased so I have to add/delete playlist items 
in Linux only.

Thanks,
Pranjal
