trying to load a playlist with bookmarks

[usetoiletpaper]

I'm trying to load playlists which has bookmarks and I get this error:

unsafe option "bookmarks" has been ignored for security reasons

Is there a way of overriding this? I've been surfing the internet looking for similar cases. The closest article I found suggested that I add the parameter "--m3u-extvlcopt" but my vlc is complaining that it can't recognize it.

Thanks,
Melany

Update:
I found a workaround:
* i editted input.c found in folder <vlc-directory>/src/input.
* Edit lines 407-408. Replace the "trusted" parameter (last parameter): var_OptionParse( VLC_OBJECT(p_input), p_item->ppsz_options, 1);)

Happy with my bookmarks now. ^_^

Is there any bad consequences I should expect?

You shouldn't do that.
Try this:

Code: Select all

diff --git a/src/libvlc-module.c b/src/libvlc-module.c index de04ee2..e786ba7 100644 --- a/src/libvlc-module.c +++ b/src/libvlc-module.c @@ -1855,6 +1855,7 @@ vlc_module_begin () add_string( "bookmarks", NULL, NULL, BOOKMARKS_TEXT, BOOKMARKS_LONGTEXT, true ) + change_safe () set_section( N_( "Default devices") , NULL )

Okie. Yay. That worked. Thanks.
Hoping for better documentation. >_<


Btw, there was another problem I hacked through. Bookmarks were kinda working at first and then fails....all bookmarks suddenly points at one similar point. Edited input.c again. In the switch case for INPUT_CONTROL_SET_BOOKMARK, I changed the if-else statement there to prioritize the use of byte-offset instead of the time-offset. Time-offset wasn't working for me.

Isn't there a way to fix the bookmark issue without requiring me to change the program code and recompile my own customized version of vlc? Couldn't you guys just bring back the option for enabling extvlcopt parsing with a warning?
saving muliple bookmarks is one of the coolest things I have seen in a player. I need to have that back!

It will be in 1.2.0
