Exception
A "libvcl_exception * libvlc_exception_create(void)" function should be great. Actualy, the API let use an opaque exception structure but you need to know the structure size anyway !
Vout
toggle_fullscreen() is useless from an embedder point of view: if I am writing an application, I need to set the movie fullscreen or not. Which makes me think that the same reasoning should apply to audio_mute: we should rather have set_mute/get_mute: the status of mute is of interest for an application developer.
Zorglub Yes. I was thinking about actually putting both options for simplicity.
OlivierAubert Both options can be a little redundant, but it does not cost much anyway.
Playlist
Zorglub I don't really know how to handle playlist retrieval as VLC playlist is not a simple list ...
OlivierAubert Yes, but it is a needed functionality anyway. We can defined a flattened view of the playlist, which will not exactly map to the playlist but be a reasonable view.
VLM
Dionoea Something like libvlc_vlm_cmd( libvlc_instance *, char *cmd, libvlc_exception ) could be usefull. This would let the enduser do whatever he wants with vlm easily.
autogeneration?
I have been cutting and pasting out of this page into my code, and a number of the function names and arguments are slightly wrong. I have corrected a few. Is there a way to autogenerate *just* these API calls out of the sources? Davidlallen 22:57, 20 August 2007 (CEST)
