It makes prerolling less precise but it will avoid loosing valid
frame.

Using vlc_mutex_trylock(), we make sure that the video output thread
will not yield because of an incomplete snapshot request. It can still
yield in the very unlikely case that a thread is doing a snapshot
request while the video output thread finishes sorting SPUs _and_ there
already was a pending snapshot earlier.

The macros are indeed a little bit too intrusive, and break calls to
QString::sprintf

When the socket is congested, we should simply skip sending.
When there is a soft-error, we should resend and simply ignore.

Instead, we were dropping the socket if the failure remained on the
second try, which was always the case in the congestion scenario.
This should fix the socket dropping problem described at:

Since we now have a general work around, this hack is not needed
anymore. This reverts commit 6f1a7b41Signed-off-by: Rémi Denis-Courmont <remi@remlab.net>

This patch works around unsupported %z modifiers, by using a wrapper
around *printf functions that patches the format string on the fly. The
format string is duplicated, and "%z"'s are replaced by "%l"'s.

This fixes a regression introduced in commit: 75adef44

It could happen if the input_thread_t die before/without sending any
meta event.

It avoid locking the whole playlist_t when fetching art, which can take a lot
of time...

Until a valid icon is designed/found, I used a DRM text label.

stats: Add stream quality counters to Qt4 stastics by counting corrupted blocks and discontinuities found.

Note the quality counters are mere indications and not exact reporting of how much blocks/discontinuity really occured. It will only tell you how often it is noticed.
