Comment (by RJVB):

 OK, this goes beyond my ObjC knowledge.

 `item` here (VLCPlaylistInfo.m:402 is an `id`, which to me is the base
 class for anything in ObjC. All the alternative classes in the error
 message return either a `NSString* value` or an `id value`; NSString*
 should cast to `id` transparently *AFAIK*.

 @ccottap: Are you capable of tinkering a bit with casting the return value
 (`(id)[item value]`), or does anyone else reading this have a clue. If not
 I'll have to see if upstream has a fix (or wait for one).
