46 * The VLC playlist system has a tree structure. This allows advanced
47 * categorization, like for SAP streams (which are grouped by "sap groups").
49 * The base structure for all playlist operations is the playlist_item_t.
50 * This is essentially a node within the playlist tree. Each playlist item
51 * references an input_item_t which contains the input stream info, such as
52 * location, name and meta-data.
54 * A playlist item is uniquely identified by its input item:
55 * \ref playlist_ItemGetByInput(). A single input item cannot be used by more
56 * than one playlist item at a time; if necessary, a copy of the input item can
59 * The same playlist tree is visible to all user interfaces. To arbitrate
60 * access, a lock is used, see \ref playlist_Lock() and \ref playlist_Unlock().
62 * Under the playlist root item node, the top-level items are the main
63 * media sources and include:
64 * - the actual playlist,
65 * - the media library,
66 * - the service discovery root node, whose children are services discovery
69 * So, here is an example:
72 * - input 1 -> name = foo 1 uri = ...
73 * - input 2 -> name = foo 2 uri = ...
78 * - foo 2 (id 6 - input 2)
79 * - media library (id 2)
80 * - foo 1 (id 5 - input 1)
83 * Sometimes, an item creates subitems. This happens for the directory access
84 * for example. In that case, if the item is under the "playlist" top-level
85 * item and playlist is configured to be flat then the item will be deleted and
86 * replaced with new subitems. If the item is under another top-level item, it
87 * will be transformed to a node and removed from the list of all items without
90 * For "standard" item addition, you can use playlist_Add(), playlist_AddExt()
91 * (more options) or playlist_AddInput() if you already created your input
92 * item. This will add the item at the root of "Playlist" or of "Media library"
93 * in each of the two trees.
95 * You can create nodes with playlist_NodeCreate() and can create items from
96 * existing input items to be placed under any node with
97 * playlist_NodeAddInput().
99 * To delete an item, use playlist_NodeDelete( p_item ).
101 * The playlist defines the following event variables:
103 * - "item-change": It will contain a pointer to the input_item_t of a
104 * changed input item monitored by the playlist.
106 * - "playlist-item-append": It will contain a pointer to a playlist_item_t.
107 * - "playlist-item-deleted": It will contain a pointer to the playlist_item_t
108 * about to be deleted.
110 * - "leaf-to-parent": It will contain the playlist_item_t->i_id of an item that is transformed
113 * The playlist contains rate-variable which is propagated to current input if
114 * available also rate-slower/rate-faster is in use.

247 * Locks the playlist.
249 * This function locks the playlist. While the playlist is locked, no other
250 * thread can modify the playlist tree layout or current playing item and node.
252 * Locking the playlist is necessary before accessing, either for reading or
253 * writing, any playlist item.
255 * \note Because of the potential for lock inversion / deadlocks, locking the
256 * playlist shall not be attemped while holding an input item lock. An input
257 * item lock can be acquired while holding the playlist lock.
259 * While holding the playlist lock, a thread shall not attempt to:
260 * - probe, initialize or deinitialize a module or a plugin,
261 * - install or deinstall a variable or event callback,
262 * - set a variable or trigger a variable callback, with the sole exception
263 * of the playlist core triggering add/remove/leaf item callbacks,
264 * - invoke a module/plugin callback other than:
266 * - logger message callback.
268 VLC_API
void playlist_Lock( playlist_t
* );
271 * Unlocks the playlist.
273 * This function unlocks the playlist, allowing other threads to lock it. The
274 * calling thread must have called playlist_Lock() before.
276 * This function invalidates all or any playlist item pointers.
277 * There are no ways to ensure that playlist items are not modified or deleted
278 * by another thread past this function call.
280 * To retain a reference to a playlist item while not holding the playlist
281 * lock, a thread should take a reference to the input item within the
282 * playlist item before unlocking. If this is not practical, then the thread
283 * can store the playlist item ID (i_id) before unlocking.
284 * Either way, this will not ensure that the playlist item is not deleted, so
285 * the thread must be ready to handle that case later when calling
286 * playlist_ItemGetByInput() or playlist_ItemGetById().
288 * Furthermore, if ID is used, then the playlist item might be deleted, and
289 * another item could be assigned the same ID. To avoid that problem, use
290 * the input item instead of the ID.
