Okay, thanks for the investigation. But anyway, is libjsonparser's upstream still active? No release since 2014 doesn't suggest that they are. If that is not the case and we end up with libjsonparser being maintained in Debian, this means that changing vlc to libjsonparser is not upstreamable. Due to the size and security history of vlc, I'd like to avoid that. Cheers -- Sebastian Ramacher
