- Update the docker image we use, starting using the standard one adding `gtk4-doc` as required by rust plugins - Update the plugins_doc_caches as required, some more plugins are built with the new image - Install ninja from pip as the version from F31 is too old - Avoid buildings all GSreamer plugins when building the doc as it takes time and resources for no good reason - Stop linking to `GInstanceInitFunc` as it is not present in latest GLib documentation, leading to warnings in hotdoc.

gst-libav
This module contains a GStreamer plugin for using the encoders, decoders, muxers, and demuxers provided by FFmpeg. It is called gst-libav for historical reasons.
Plugin Dependencies and Licenses
GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL-2.1 (see COPYING file for details), and that includes the code in this repository.
However, this repository depends on FFmpeg, which can be built in the following
modes using various ./configure
switches: LGPL-2.1, LGPL-3, GPL, or non-free.
This can mean, for example, that if you are distributing an application which has a non-GPL compatible license (like a closed-source application) with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to build FFmpeg with GPL code enabled.
Overall, when using plugins that link to GPL libraries, GStreamer is for all practical reasons under the GPL itself.
The above recommendations are not legal advice, and you are responsible for ensuring that you meet your licensing obligations.
