    Add placeholder feature to bridge module ("No Signal" anyone?) · 39dcd7cc
    dionoea authored
    This commit allows using the bridge-out and bridge-in module to
    configure a placeholder stream. This placeholder stream replaces the
    input stream if it dies for more than place-holder ms.
    
    Example configuration:
     # The input
     new test broadcast enabled
     setup test input /home/antoine/media/wall-e/Sample.avi
     setup test output #duplicate{dst=bridge-out,select=video,dst=bridge-out,select=audio}
    
     # The placeholder
     new master broadcast enabled
     setup master input /home/antoine/media/wall-e/wall-e.avi
     setup master output #bridge-in{placeholder,placeholder-delay=5000}:display
    
     # control test play
     control master play
    
    Placeholder and input should have the same format (aspect ratio, dimension,
    codec, ...). Connect to VLC's telnet interface and issue some
    "control test play" and "control test stop" commands to simulate input loss.
    The placeholder stream should kick in after 5000 ms (5 s) of input loss.
