+Port VLC skins to Objective C++ and OSX. Also requires the intf to be a dialog provider. There is already some code in the VLC sourcetree.<br />
Hints:<br />
- In a first step, the need for a dialog provider can be easily omitted.<br />
- In theory, only a small amount of classes (6 or so) must be written for OS X, implementing predefined interfaces.<br />
- Ask the user a question (Are you sure? or Try to Fix index of avi? or Overwrite File?)<br />
- Inform the user, without disturbing him. (Buffering stream). This might require a displaytime or something. Because how do we know how long this information should be displayed? Also think of buffering 0-100%<br />
- present a user/passwd dialog when we get an authentication failure on a stream.<br />
