FlyLink attaches metadata into a filelist xml extra attributes. FlyLink provides less information compared to Shareaza and GreyLink. No artist, no album, just bitrate and resolution.

Please, stop talking about GL here. Nobody is interested in it. It's not important what information it returns. Important thing is how everything is implemented and FlyLink source can be good guide for it.

All of them 3 use MediaInfo.dll. MediaInfo.dll can be updated independently of main executable.

here are links to previous discussions that occured in the DC++ tracker:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/211753>
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dcplus ... +-metadata>
<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/dcplus ... -file-list>

regarding escaping "/", how about "//" (2 slashes)? that is what user commands use, so it would provide some sort of consistency from one extension to the other.

about the 2 mentioned programs that seem to have already designed their own extension to the protocol without consulting or informing anyone here, i consider them both equally useless in the purpose of this discussion. reverse-engineering their implementation and trying to be compatible with it wouldn't allow us to strive for the best possible extension.
