[vlc] MediaListPlayer API issues and JVLC update

[Keith Kyzivat]

Hi Javi,
I'm currently using JVLC as well, however I haven't chimed up in this
conversation because I don't use the playlist functionality at all -- just
the straight media player, and I manage the media choosing, loading
separately in my java application.

I'm not sure if I'll have time to investigate switching over to using
MediaList or Playlist (it seems to work pretty well for me as-is, however
there have been some niggling things with my implementation that may
eventually get me to switch, and look into MediaList -- granted, sounds like
there are some bugs that need to be fixed).

Have a look at the JVLC source code, and see if you can spot the bugs --
Just check out the VLC source with git<http://wiki.videolan.org/GetTheSource>,
and you'll find the Java binding code in <vlc working
directory>/bindings/java .
To build it, install a recent JDK (1.5.x is fine, earlier might be fine
even) and Apache Maven.  When it's all built, you'll have the jars, which
you should be able to use with any recent 0.9.x vlc build (not sure if there
are any very new changes that require you to use a latest snapshot, however
I doubt it) -- no need to actually build the entire vlc sources.

The Java bindings should only take a few minutes to fetch and build.
