I am working on up to date SUSE 10.0, with gcc version :

I got this compilation error for months in upnp support :

I am currently using a patched 1.7.1 cyberlink library which has compiled well with vlc 0.8.5. Here's this small modification on CyberLink/src/cybergarage/xml/XML.cpp :

I am sure this problem is due to vlc 0.8.6 upnp code. I can't compile since early 0.8.6svn version.

It look like this module still use the old playlist API and hasn't been ported yet.

So you should disable it in the meantime

I am trying to get vstream, the TiVo stream player, to compile with the recent 11/15 vlc build. It is using the old playlist api that you mentioned.

I am new to the vlc code and could you please point me to come description of how the new playlist api replaces the old? Maybe some example of a conversion already done or maybe some code comments about this or maybe two versions to diff?
