Hi all,
I wonder is it possible to use libvlc_media_player functions (for example libvlc_media_player_play) from two different threads using same "libvlc_media_player_t" object? Are these functions thread safe?
Regards
libvlc_media_player_play from two threads

Hmm, I guess they should, but I am not sure.

Depends on the API you plan to call. You need to lock for all the media_list
related call (using media_list_lock).
The rest should be thread safe, but it needs a review.
