Ok, there are other details missing, the stream does not get a
duration, start_time and bitrate. This can easily be fixed, but as
wm4 said libquvi seems an abandoned project.

Would there be any interest in a solution based on youtube-dl? It
seems to be the standard, these days. I just ran a few tests:

youtube -qs 'url' returns 0 or 1 depending on whether the url can be
parsed by the tool

youtube -e 'url' prints the stream title

and youtube -f 'url' prints the video url.

To use this portably, we can use system() and redirect the
output to a temporary file, and read the title or URL from the file.
Or is popen available on all platforms where ffmpeg runs?

Is it a clean enough solution? If yes, I can submit the patch adding
this solution. From what I could see, all solutions to parse youtube
(including quvi) are based on scripts anyway.
