Patch by VlcVelope

These patches now should integrate better into the StandardPanel etc.
Parts had to be rearranged to be able to merge some code from libqxt into the source.

On Windows playing items like dvd:// or screen:// causes strange shortcuts in the user recently used folder.

for some information. The solution calls SHAddToRecentDocs only if make_path
returns a valid path.

This is not fully fixed, but it works after a state change

Close #6812

PlaylistDialog::getInstance was duplicating the playlist widget
instanciated in main interface. This explains the empty playlist
bug of the popup dialogs replacing the current playlist by
parenting their menu using getInstance().
To avoid further mistakes, PlaylistWiget's constructor is now only
available to playlistdialog, which also manages the widget
through the different configurations (embedded or floating).
Dialog also now saves and restores geometry, which only happened
when the widget was on its side.

Close #6813

an option to switch the modes is in the works

This is _very_ incomplete and buggy:
 - no time synchronization,
 - no sample format, sample rate and channels mask negotiation,
 - no channels reordering,
 - no S/PDIF and HDMI pass-through,
 - no volume control,
 - no device selection,
 - no fail-over to another device when needed,
 - leaking COM thread data at exit (missing dedicated thread),
 - incomplete build system integration.

But it compiles (with mingw-w64) and outputs working audio.

This fixes console logs on Wine for me.

This avoids leaking the Unix socket to child processes.

This is just a partial fix.
Fixes #6148

The scope of cookies without a domain is limited to the current server.
The current logic is always wrong because either it's the same server
and the new cookie should supersede the old one, or it's a different
server and the old cookie should not be sent. This logic is still far
from RFC-compliant, but at least it should get it right some of the time.

This plugin is unmaintained, unused and quite buggy.

Outdated and probably broken since version 1.1.0.

This plugin can cause VLC to crash or exit prematurely. Sicne it is
mostly useless and mostly superseded by the coloured variant,
lets disable it unless explicitly selected.

This should fix LP#971106.

(And remove an useless constant function pointer.)

The function pointer (in vlc_gc_*) was useless here.

(This saves one function pointer.)

Use /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2/TrackList/Append instead of / as the
AfterTrack argument to org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.AddTrack for appending

The single instance mode currently tries to contact another VLC instance
through dbus in order to find out if one is running. With dbus activation,
it results to the dbus daemon launching a new VLC instance while the
first one blocks until the new one answers the call

This patch uses org.freedesktop.DBus.NameHasOwner instead in order to get
an answer from the dbus daemon without it launching a second instance.

 * use a thread instead of short interval polling,
 * do not assume latency is shorter than a period,
 * negotiate sample format instead automatically,
 * map all known ALSA formats to VLC codecs,
 * negotiate channels and sample rate,
 * partial support for 3-6 channels (missing preferences),
 * negotiate buffer and period times according to caching,
 * tolerate off-by-one period size due to rounding,
 * use the "default" device by default rather than "hw",
 * remove old-style hardware-only suggestions in debug messages.
