38 * This file contain structures and function prototypes related
39 * to the playlist in vlc
41 * \defgroup vlc_playlist Playlist
43 * The VLC playlist system has a tree structure. This allows advanced
44 * categorization, like for SAP streams (which are grouped by "sap groups").
46 * The base structure for all playlist operations is the input_item_t. This
47 * contains all information needed to play a stream and get info, ie, mostly,
48 * mrl and metadata. This structure contains a unique i_id field. ids are
49 * not recycled when an item is destroyed.
51 * Input items are not used directly, but through playlist items.
52 * The playlist items are themselves in a tree structure. They only contain
53 * a link to the input item, a unique id and a few flags. the playlist
54 * item id is NOT the same as the input item id.
55 * Several playlist items can be attached to a single input item. The input
56 * item is refcounted and is automatically destroyed when it is not used
57 * anymore.
59 * The top-level items are the main media sources and include:
60 * playlist, media library, SAP, Shoutcast, devices, ...
62 * It is envisioned that a third tree will appear: VLM, but it's not done yet
64 * The playlist also stores, for utility purposes, an array of all input
65 * items, an array of all playlist items and an array of all playlist items
66 * and nodes (both are represented by the same structure).
68 * So, here is an example:
69 * \verbatim
70 * Inputs array
71 * - input 1 -> name = foo 1 uri = ...
72 * - input 2 -> name = foo 2 uri = ...
74 * Playlist items tree
75 * - playlist (id 1)
76 * - category 1 (id 2)
77 * - foo 2 (id 6 - input 2)
78 * - media library (id 2)
79 * - foo 1 (id 5 - input 1)
80 * \endverbatim
82 * Sometimes, an item creates subitems. This happens for the directory access
83 * for example. In that case, if the item is under the "playlist" top-level item
84 * and playlist is configured to be flat then the item will be deleted and
85 * replaced with new subitems. If the item is under another top-level item, it
86 * will be transformed to a node and removed from the list of all items without
87 * nodes.
89 * For "standard" item addition, you can use playlist_Add, playlist_AddExt
90 * (more options) or playlist_AddInput if you already created your input
91 * item. This will add the item at the root of "Playlist" or of "Media library"
92 * in each of the two trees.
94 * You can create nodes with playlist_NodeCreate and can create items from
95 * existing input items to be placed under any node with playlist_NodeAddInput.
97 * To delete an item, use playlist_DeleteFromInput( p_item ) which will
98 * remove all occurrences of the input.
101 * The playlist defines the following event variables:
103 * - "item-change": It will contain the input_item_t->i_id of a changed input
104 * item monitored by the playlist.
105 * item being played.
107 * - "playlist-item-append": It will contain a pointer to a playlist_add_t.
108 * - "playlist-item-deleted": It will contain the playlist_item_t->i_id of a
109 * deleted playlist_item_t.
111 * - "leaf-to-parent": It will contain the playlist_item_t->i_id of an item that is transformed
112 * into a node.
114 * The playlist contains rate-variable which is propagated to current input if available
115 * also rate-slower/rate-faster is in use
117 * XXX Be really carefull, playlist_item_t->i_id and input_item_t->i_id are not
118 * the same. Yes, the situation is pretty bad.
