>Summary: fifo remains open after play file request; blocks xine

Initial Comment:

using xine-ui v.0.99.4
modified in to not kill itself on the first mrl command.

hack in network.c:<do_mrl>: Most likely improper...

if (gGui->playlist.mmk) //Cheap gaurd against SEGFAULT
    gui_set_current_mmk(gGui->playlist.mmk[gGui->playlist.num -1]);

Note: <comment>

To Reproduce...

With xine running with network listening (-n/--network),
-> telnet localhost 6789
stop
mrl play fifo:/dev/favorite-video-fifo
stop
mrl play file:/favorite-show.ts
---

The fifo plays as expected, the file never plays. I am not sure what 
these commands exactly relate to in the gui. The gui shows the file 
name, pressing the gui 'play' button freezes the gui hard too, (i.e. xine 
needs a kill -9), submitting a play request over the network is 
ineffective.

>Quite possibly related to bug 1282504: mrl open command w/o 
playlist entries SEGFAULTs; or perhaps how i did not fix it.

>Switching using two entries in the gui playlist do not bring about the 
crash.

>In addition to the above hack, I tried allocating some memory to it, 
and it fails too...
if (!gGui->playlist.mmk) {
    gGui->playlist.mmk=(mediamark_t**) malloc( sizeof(mediamark_t*) 
* 2);
    gGui->playlist[gGui->playlist.num] = 0; //always is [0]...
    gGui->playlist++; //so that gGui->playlist.num -1 is not negative.
}

Any help would be appreciated, as well as verification that this is an 
issue in the stock version, note that the stock ui also segfaults if you 
give it a mrl on the command line, and I am not sure how to get 
around this.

Especially the internal api command to create an empty playlist to fix 
bug 1282504.

Attached are some back traces, if that may help.
