This commit does not add support for multiples hotkeys though.

mux-ts-use-key-frames is not a key!

(Beats me why GCC did not warn about this one)

Names are looked up when starting VLC.
Codes are looked up when editing the preferences.
I prfer to optimize the VLC startup.

Hotkeys are separated by tabs. I would have allowed white spaces, but
they are found in some media key names :-(

We have had a replacement for quite a while already.

This avoids storing unmapping actions. More interestingly, this will
enable multiple keys per action.

We cannot fully privatize this, as the global hotkeys plugin read the
list of actions through the public LibVLC instance pointer.

'scale' is vlc autoscale not a value
snapshot could have meant thumb size
directx wallpaper is win32 only
just show desktop feature, not tech details to end user

It will prevents issue with our code but also with external libraries.

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.
