Function Documentation

services_discovery_AddItem()

static void services_discovery_AddItem ( services_discovery_t *  sd, input_item_t *  item  )

inlinestatic

Added top-level service callback.

This is a convenience wrapper for services_discovery_AddSubItem(). It covers the most comomn case wherby the added item is a top-level service, i.e. it has no parent node.

References services_discovery_owner_t::item_added, and services_discovery_t::owner.

services_discovery_AddItemCat()

static void services_discovery_AddItemCat ( services_discovery_t *  sd, input_item_t *  item, const char *  category  )

inlinestatic

Added service backward compatibility callback.

Parameters

category

Optional name of a group that the item belongs in (for backward compatibility with legacy modules)

References services_discovery_owner_t::item_added, and services_discovery_t::owner.

services_discovery_AddSubItem()

static void services_discovery_AddSubItem ( services_discovery_t *  sd, input_item_t *  parent, input_item_t *  item  )

inlinestatic

Added service callback.

A services discovery module invokes this function when it "discovers" a new service, i.e. a new input item.

Note

This callback does not take ownership of the input item; it might however (and most probably will) add one of more references to the item.

The caller is responsible for releasing its own reference(s) eventually. Keeping a reference is necessary to call services_discovery_RemoveItem() or to alter the item later. However, if the caller will never remove nor alter the item, it can drop its reference(s) immediately.

Parameters

sd	services discoverer / services discovery module instance
item	input item to add

References services_discovery_owner_t::item_added, and services_discovery_t::owner.

services_discovery_RemoveItem()

static void services_discovery_RemoveItem ( services_discovery_t *  sd, input_item_t *  item  )

inlinestatic

Removed service callback.

A services discovery module invokes this function when it senses that a service is no longer available.

References services_discovery_owner_t::item_removed, and services_discovery_t::owner.

vlc_sd_control()

static int vlc_sd_control ( services_discovery_t *  p_sd, int  i_control, va_list  args  )

inlinestatic

Ask for a research in the SD.

Parameters

p_sd	the Service Discovery
i_control	the command to issue
args	the argument list

Returns

VLC_SUCCESS in case of success, the error code overwise

< Unspecified error

References services_discovery_t::pf_control, and VLC_EGENERIC.

vlc_sd_Create()

services_discovery_t* vlc_sd_Create	(	vlc_object_t *	parent,
		const char *	chain,
		const struct services_discovery_owner_t *	owner
	)

Creates a services discoverer.

vlc_sd_Destroy()

void vlc_sd_Destroy

(

services_discovery_t *

)

References config_ChainDestroy(), module_unneed, services_discovery_t::p_cfg, services_discovery_t::p_module, services_discovery_t::psz_name, and vlc_object_release.

Referenced by playlist_ServicesDiscoveryInternalRemoveLocked(), and vlc_sd_Create().

vlc_sd_GetNames()

char** vlc_sd_GetNames	(	vlc_object_t *	,
		char ***	,
		int **
	)

Gets the list of available services discovery plugins.

vlc_sd_probe_Add()

int vlc_sd_probe_Add	(	vlc_probe_t *	,
		const char *	,
		const char *	,
		int	category
	)

< Not enough memory

< Unspecified error
