libvlc_playlist_play: crash when changing item

[cbouleau]

Hello,

I am building a video player using libvlc (0.8.6c) under Windows XP.

My application allows to change the current item (the items were previously added with the libvlc_playlist_add function).
To do that I use in the code the libvlc_playlist_play function (using the new item Id as second parameter).

Frequently (especially with big video files), calling this function causes a crash or an abnormal and unpredictable behaviour (the subsequent libvlc functions calls does not work normally).

I tried to put a temporisation after the call to libvlc_playlist_play : the problem occurs less frequently but still occurs, and I can not find any workaround.

Perhaps does a better/safer solution to change the current item exist ?

Thank you in advance for any help,

Chris. B
