Upstream defaults vlc to off. Its only purpose is as an alternative to
QtMultimedia for "MPD HTTP stream playback" [1]. Similarly, provide a
toggle for qtmultimedia, in case somebody wants to disable HTTP stream
playback.

Motivation for this change
vlc
was declared as a dependency, but was never actually linked to cantata. Now, if the user so chooses, it can be used for HTTP stream playback.Things done
sandbox
innix.conf
on non-NixOS linux)nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
./result/bin/
)nix path-info -S
before and after)Would be nice to get somebody on NixOS to test the binary and make sure I didn't muck anything up. Inspecting the binary with
ldd
shows it linked toQtMultimedia
by default, not linked to it whenwithHttpStream = false
, as well as not linked tovlc
by default, and linked whenwithLibVlc = true
.
