macos: hide stream-only invalid actions in play queue menu
meson: generate the library pkgconfig file
meson: install skins2 data It's missing the default.vlt file.
meson: do not install compat library on Windows It's not installed with autotools packaging.
meson: install vlc.exe/libvlccore.dll/libvlc.dll in the root prefix on Windows Otherwise it's in <prefix>/bin.
meson: install extra executables in the root prefix on Windows
meson: install vlc_about.h header with the other plugin headers
meson: install headers in sdk folder on Windows Similar to what is done in packages.mak.
meson: install the HRTFS files on Windows Similar to what is done in packages.mak.
meson: install text files in Windows install
meson: install the libbluray java files on Windows Similar to what is done in packages.mak.
meson: use a specific path to install plugins on Windows The Windows layout of the package is different that regular UNIX layout.
meson: add placeholder to generate the Windows installers
configure: do not set a kde file path for emscripten Same as for Windows/Apple/Android OSes. The rest is UNIX variants that may have KDE. Or use these desktop files.
configure: do not generate vlc.appdata.xml on non-UNIX desktop
share: do not use .desktop files when it's not setup properly It's a generalization of 5b3aa85da2f9e9ee02c8d00b7bb654b5aecd3be7 and 2d70b0f688f9a91afe9dbca7fa631d833046a563. In both cases KDE_SOLID should not be true. And other non UNIX desktop will also end up disabling this code (android, emscripten).
configure: set default with_kde_solid value for Windows/Apple/Android oses Otherwise the value is not set and we and up assuming the user set a path (rather than yes=auto).
configure: do not call KDE4_CONFIG if it's not an executable It's set to "kde4-config" if the user doesn't set it. But it may not be there. Avoids this warning: > configure: line 69874: kde4-config: command not found And soliddatadir was set to a value and used even though it's bogus.
packetize: mpeg4audio: replace unused bs_read() with bs_skip() That should be slightly faster.
packetize: hxxx_sei: replace unused bs_read() with bs_skip() That should be slightly faster.
packetize: hevc_nal: replace unused bs_read() with bs_skip() That should be slightly faster.
demux: mpeg4: replace unused bs_read() with bs_skip() That should be slightly faster.
packetizer: h266: replace unused bs_read() with bs_skip() That should be slightly faster.

macosx: Change jump to time feature design Create a new design for the jump to time feature, removing steppers and adding a slider to allow users to change the time by typing or using a slider.
macosx: Implement pasting timestamps Adds the possibility of users to paste a string value, parsing it to a time value. For example: "2:30" would update minutes to 2 and seconds to 30.
macosx: Add support for colon control
macosx: Add support to up and down arrow key event
macosx: Change the size of the UI frame and components to fit in the widget panel
meson: remove headers not installed by autotools Found in noinst_HEADERS.
meson: add missing plugin headers
