In the current lua vlm implementation, messages can have value xor
children but not both. But the "show media" command gives media a
value : ( %d broadcast - %d vod ) and children (if any). (cf
src/input/vlmshell.c:1502)

Missing some cases that I could not test.
Also ffmpeg/chroma.c is locked, so I can but leave it broken.
Fix is for the remaining modules is obvious and the issue is easy to detect.
* Add vlc.license()
* vlc.vlm.execute_command() now returns the VLC error code and the corresponding error message as 2nd and 3rd return values.
* share/luaintf: add help and module description related stuff to the telnet and rc modules.
Two things led me to add this new type of Lua modules:
* Most interfaces duplicate code from one another (rc and telnet both deal
with sockets, rc and hotkeys duplicate VLC interfacing code)
* It's easier to code in Lua than in C (for high level stuff)
(* Users can code their own module easily, all they need is a text editor.)
Most of the changes in modules/misc/ are Lua wrappers for different C APIs
in VLC. I'd say that 90% of those wrappers won't change, the other 10% might
need small changes (mostly to simplify the C code).
The VLC Lua "interface" module will look for lua scripts in the
*share*/luaintf/ directory. Files in *share*/luaintf/modules/ are lua modules
which can be used by multiple VLC Lua modules (using require "modulename").
This commit includes 4 Lua interface modules:
* dummy.lua: the default module. Prints error messages and quits.
* rc.lua: equivalent to the legacy rc.c module. Also includes a bunch of
new features (+ multiple socket connections at a time work!). See file for
more details.
* telnet.lua: equivalent to the legacy telnet.c module. See file for more
details.
* hotkeys.lua: a rewrite of the hotkey handling module. This module is still
experimental. I'll need to change VLC core hotkeys stuff to make it work
like I want (ie: 1 hotkey triggers 1 action instead of the current 1 action
can have 1 hotkey). This version executes 3 dummy actions when keys 'q',
'w' or 'x' are pressed.
What's left to do:
* Port the http interface plugin to this framework (at least for the
macros/rpn part ... using <?vlc some lua code ?> à la PHP would be way
easier than what we currently have).
* Finish work on the hotkeys module.
* Code a real telnet/rc module with autocompletion and all the cool features
usually found in a telnet/terminal interface.
* Trash the legacy C modules.
Stuff to test (which I can't test myself):
* Win32 and Mac OS X specific changes to Makefile.am
* Console interface under Win32. I expect it not to work.
Other stuff included in this changeset are:
* Code cleanup (I'm sure that it's still possible to simplify some of the old lua bindings code).
* That's pretty much it in fact :/
