| Decide what to do when org.videolan service is already registered by another instance of vlc: let the first instance do all the work ? replace it ? place vlc on the queue ? | | === Decide service behaviour === |

|
| Now if vlc is built with D-Bus >= 1.0.0 it will automatically register org.videolan.vlc, and no other instances of vlc will be allowed to replace it

Decide service behaviour
Could vlc be a on-demand startable service, would it be useful ?
We just have to create a /usr/share/dbus-1/org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.service:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer
Exec=/usr/bin/vlc -I dummy --control dbus
