Module Descriptor
A VLC plugin must include a description of itself, and the parameters it accepts.
The module descriptor begins with:
vlc_module_being();
You should set some category information on your module:
set_shortname( _("DVD without menus") );
set_description( _("DVDRead Input (DVD without menu support)") );
set_category( CAT_INPUT );
Note the use of _("") to create a string. -- Is this required??
Predefined Categories include:
- CAT_INTERFACE
- CAT_AUDIO
- CAT_VIDEO
- CAT_INPUT
- CAT_SOUT
- CAT_ADVANCED
- CAT_PLAYLIST
set_subcategory( SUBCAT_INPUT_ACCESS );
See include/configuration.h for definition of all categories and sub-categories
