Accessing title of current item being played

[jml674]

I 'm after adding a routine called libvlc_media_player_get_title() which will return the title of the item currently played.
The ultimate goal is to provide access to this information to the Mozilla plugin thru a new field in the API called "input.title" .
This can be the dvb-t program name or the title of the DVD. I decided to start with the latest first which seemed the simplest.

I spotted in file dvdnav.c a Control routine which returns exactly what I'm after with the DEMUX_GET_META enum as a parameter.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to tie libvlc_media_player_get_title() to this Control one which is unfortunately static.

I may use the wrong method here (maybe the meta info is already referenced in the player structure ?)

Newbie at developping around vlc, I'm looking for help.

You cannot call demux functions directly from LibVLC. Even if you did get hold of the demuxer instance, it runs in a different thread and is not re-entrant.

Every thing has to through the input_thread object interface.

OK thanks a bunch - I was indeed able to get it thru input_thread.

All meta information is now available in VLC 2.0 thru the mediaDescription object.
