Thought I should add this tracker bug based on the discussion about moving the
playlist parser from Totem to GStreamer. Wim also wants a plugin made on top of
the playlist parser library.

<MikeS> wtay: the playlist handling shouldn't be in a widget, it should be part
of gstreamer (somehow)
<Uraeus> thaytan: wtay will be putting his full professional credibility into
getting them to accept it :)
<wtay> MikeS, I know
<hadess> it will either be too featureful, or not featureful enough
 MikeS: there's totemplparser
<MikeS> It's crappy that everyone has to reinvent playlist parsing, or pull in
bits of totem
 hadess: right, but that functionality should be directly available from
gstreamer.
<hadess> MikeS: it's a proper library...
<wtay> hadess, how is it's API?
 it
 its
<hadess> wtay: for the playlist parser?
<MikeS> hadess: I know. But it should still be part of gstreamer<wtay> hadess,
yes, you give it a playlist and then you get a list of files?


<hadess> MikeS: i'd be happy moving it there :)
<MikeS> hadess: ok!

<hadess> wtay: you give it a playlist, it sends you signals for each new entry
with metadata associated to it
 wtay:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/totem/trunk/src/plparse/totem-pl-parser.h?revision=4683&view=markup
<wtay> hadess, ah, nice. Maps to the idea of posting messages for each entry
along with other stuff
<hadess> wtay: we also have a playlist-start/playlist-end signals, for asx and
podcasts, amongst other things
<wtay> you also handle URI etc, I guess you use gnomevfs
<hadess> yeah
 i hope i can port it to gvfs soon
<wtay> what are the write functions?
<hadess> to write playlists
<wtay> you do that as well? whatfor?
<hadess> supported for the types listed in TotemPlParserType
 to save playlists in totem, and for mp3 players in rhythmbox
<wtay> ah yes, you can make playlists too
