Hold on to the DeckLink configuration object for the entire session, or it will revert to the defaults in the configuration file. (This change was made during the 7.9 series SDK, it seems.)

This also fixes an issue where VLC would segfault if it could not
initialize the card.

...rather than with a command line option. This enables extending the
set of plugins paths globally, for all LibVLC applications.

Using an environment variable seems more logical than a command line
option considering that the module bank is shared by all VLC instances
in the process. In other words, it did not belong as a parameter to
libvlc_new().

I have to say I fail to understand why...

The parsing of .m3u8 HLS files was too position dependend and did not work well
with some implementations of HLS playlist files. Parsing and reading the .m3u8 file
are now separated.

Functions to read an entire M3U8 meta or playlist file from the HLS server into a buffer.
The buffer will be parsed later.

If downloading of a segment takes longer then its duration, then print
a warning instead of terminating playback.

When there is less then 3 times the target duration of data available in
the HLS stream print a warning and try to start anyway. Instead of aborting
playback. Other HLS clients seem to do the same.

Improve detection of HTTP Live Streaming detection to all EXT-X tags.

The configuration is simplified a bit.
Multiple keys per action will be easier to add.

N.B.: this commit breaks global hotkeys setup and hotkey prefs

When the subtitle is auto-detected, fail, complain, but do not block the
playback with annoying pop-up. This should fix the .txt subtitle issue.

In practice, this is useless.

Pipes are not supported on WinCE

This fixes the framework loading on runtime.
