/**
* SECTION:gstpbutilsinstallplugins
* @short_description: Missing plugin installation support for applications
*
* <refsect2>
* <title>Overview</title>
* <para>
* Using this API, applications can request the installation of missing
* GStreamer plugins. These may be missing decoders/demuxers or encoders/muxers
* for a certain format, sources or sinks for a certain URI protocol
* (e.g. 'http'), or certain elements known by their element factory name
* ('audioresample').
* </para>
* <para>
* Whether plugin installation is supported or not depends on the operating
* system and/or distribution in question. The vendor of the operating system
* needs to make sure the necessary hooks and mechanisms are in place for
* plugin installation to work. See below for more detailed information.
* </para>
* <para>
* From the application perspective, plugin installation is usually triggered
* either
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* when the application itself has found that it wants or needs to install a
* certain element
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* when the application has been notified by an element (such as playbin or
* decodebin) that one or more plugins are missing <emphasis>and</emphasis>
* the application has decided that it wants to install one or more of those
* missing plugins
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <title>Detail Strings</title>
* <para>
* The install functions in this section all take one or more 'detail strings'.
* These detail strings contain information about the type of plugin that
* needs to be installed (decoder, encoder, source, sink, or named element),
* and some additional information such GStreamer version used and a
* human-readable description of the component to install for user dialogs.
* </para>
* <para>
* Applications should not concern themselves with the composition of the
* string itself. They should regard the string as if it was a shared secret
* between GStreamer and the plugin installer application.
* </para>
* <para>
* Detail strings can be obtained using the function
* gst_missing_plugin_message_get_installer_detail() on a missing-plugin
* message. Such a message will either have been found by the application on
* a pipeline's #GstBus, or the application will have created it itself using
* gst_missing_element_message_new(), gst_missing_decoder_message_new(),
* gst_missing_encoder_message_new(), gst_missing_uri_sink_message_new(), or
* gst_missing_uri_source_message_new().
* </para>
* <title>Plugin Installation from the Application Perspective</title>
* <para>
* For each GStreamer element/plugin/component that should be installed, the
* application needs one of those 'installer detail' string mentioned in the
* previous section. This string can be obtained, as already mentioned above,
* from a missing-plugin message using the function
* gst_missing_plugin_message_get_installer_detail(). The missing-plugin
* message is either posted by another element and then found on the bus
* by the application, or the application has created it itself as described
* above.
* </para>
* <para>
* The application will then call gst_install_plugins_async(), passing a
* NULL-terminated array of installer detail strings, and a function that
* should be called when the installation of the plugins has finished
* (successfully or not). Optionally, a #GstInstallPluginsContext created
* with gst_install_plugins_context_new() may be passed as well. This way
* additional optional arguments like the application window's XID can be
* passed to the external installer application.
* </para>
* <para>
* gst_install_plugins_async() will return almost immediately, with the
* return code indicating whether plugin installation was started or not.
* If the necessary hooks for plugin installation are in place and an
* external installer application has in fact been called, the passed in
* function will be called with a result code as soon as the external installer
* has finished. If the result code indicates that new plugins have been
* installed, the application will want to call gst_update_registry() so the
* run-time plugin registry is updated and the new plugins are made available
* to the application.
* <note>
* A Gtk/GLib main loop must be running in order for the result function to
* be called when the external installer has finished. If this is not the case,
* make sure to regularly call
* <programlisting>
* g_main_context_iteration (NULL,FALSE);
* </programlisting>
* from your code.
* </note>
* </para>
* <title>Plugin Installation from the Vendor/Distribution Perspective</title>
* <para>
* <emphasis>1. Installer hook</emphasis>
* </para>
* <para>
* When GStreamer applications initiate plugin installation via
* gst_install_plugins_async() or gst_install_plugins_sync(), a pre-defined
* helper application will be called.
* </para>
* <para>
* The exact path of the helper application to be called is set at compile
* time, usually by the <literal>./configure</literal> script based on the
* install prefix. For a normal package build into the <literal>/usr</literal>
* prefix, this will usually default to
* <filename>/usr/libexec/gst-install-plugins-helper</filename> or
* <filename>/usr/lib/gst-install-plugins-helper</filename>.
* </para>
* <para>
* Vendors/distros who want to support GStreamer plugin installation should
* either provide such a helper script/application or use the
* <literal>./configure</literal> option
* <literal>--with-install-plugins-helper=/path/to/installer</literal> to
* make GStreamer call an installer of their own directly.
* </para>
* <para>
* It is strongly recommended that vendors provide a small helper application
* as interlocutor to the real installer though, even more so if command line
* argument munging is required to transform the command line arguments
* passed by GStreamer to the helper application into arguments that are
* understood by the real installer.
* </para>
* <para>
* The helper application path defined at compile time can be overriden at
* runtime by setting the <envar>GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_HELPER</envar>
* environment variable. This can be useful for testing/debugging purposes.
* </para>
* <para>
* <emphasis>2. Arguments passed to the install helper</emphasis>
* </para>
* <para>
* GStreamer will pass the following arguments to the install helper (this is
* in addition to the path of the executable itself, which is by convention
* argv[0]):
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* none to many optional arguments in the form of
* <literal>--foo-bar=val</literal>. Example:
* <literal>--transient-for=XID</literal> where XID is the X Window ID of
* the main window of the calling application (so the installer can make
* itself transient to that window). Unknown optional arguments should
* be ignored by the installer.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* one 'installer detail string' argument for each plugin to be installed;
* these strings will have a <literal>gstreamer</literal> prefix; the
* exact format of the detail string is explained below
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <para>
* <emphasis>3. Detail string describing the missing plugin</emphasis>
* </para>
* <para>
* The string is in UTF-8 encoding and is made up of several fields, separated
* by '|' characters (but neither the first nor the last character is a '|').
* The fields are:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* plugin system identifier, ie. "gstreamer"
* </para><para>
* This identifier determines the format of the rest of the detail string.
* Automatic plugin installers should not process detail strings with
* unknown identifiers. This allows other plugin-based libraries to use
* the same mechanism for their automatic plugin installation needs, or
* for the format to be changed should it turn out to be insufficient.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* plugin system version, e.g. "0.10"
* </para><para>
* This is required so that when there is a GStreamer-0.12 or GStreamer-1.0
* at some point in future, the different major versions can still co-exist
* and use the same plugin install mechanism in the same way.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* application identifier, e.g. "totem"
* </para><para>
* This may also be in the form of "pid/12345" if the program name can't
* be obtained for some reason.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* human-readable localised description of the required component,
* e.g. "Vorbis audio decoder"
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* identifier string for the required component (see below for details about
* how to map this to the package/plugin that needs installing), e.g.
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* urisource-$(PROTOCOL_REQUIRED), e.g. urisource-http or urisource-mms
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* element-$(ELEMENT_REQUIRED), e.g. element-videoconvert
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* decoder-$(CAPS_REQUIRED), e.g. (do read below for more details!):
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>decoder-audio/x-vorbis</para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>decoder-application/ogg</para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4</para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>decoder-video/mpeg, systemstream=(boolean)true, mpegversion=(int)2</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* encoder-$(CAPS_REQUIRED), e.g. encoder-audio/x-vorbis
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* optional further fields not yet specified
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <para>
* An entire ID string might then look like this, for example:
* <literal>
* gstreamer|0.10|totem|Vorbis audio decoder|decoder-audio/x-vorbis
* </literal>
* </para>
* <para>
* Plugin installers parsing this ID string should expect further fields also
* separated by '|' symbols and either ignore them, warn the user, or error
* out when encountering them.
* </para>
* <para>
* Those unfamiliar with the GStreamer 'caps' system should note a few things
* about the caps string used in the above decoder/encoder case:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* the first part ("video/mpeg") of the caps string is a GStreamer media
* type and <emphasis>not</emphasis> a MIME type. Wherever possible, the
* GStreamer media type will be the same as the corresponding MIME type,
* but often it is not.
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* a caps string may or may not have additional comma-separated fields
* of various types (as seen in the examples above)
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* the caps string of a 'required' component (as above) will always have
* fields with fixed values, whereas an introspected string (see below)
* may have fields with non-fixed values. Compare for example:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* <literal>audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4</literal> vs.
* <literal>audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int){2, 4}</literal>
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* <literal>video/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)2</literal> vs.
* <literal>video/mpeg, systemstream=(boolean){ true, false}, mpegversion=(int)[1, 2]</literal>
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <para>
* <emphasis>4. Exit codes the installer should return</emphasis>
* </para>
* <para>
* The installer should return one of the following exit codes when it exits:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem><para>
* 0 if all of the requested plugins could be installed
* (#GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_SUCCESS)
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* 1 if no appropriate installation candidate for any of the requested
* plugins could be found. Only return this if nothing has been installed
* (#GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_NOT_FOUND)
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* 2 if an error occured during the installation. The application will
* assume that the user will already have seen an error message by the
* installer in this case and will usually not show another one
* (#GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_ERROR)
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* 3 if some of the requested plugins could be installed, but not all
* (#GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_PARTIAL_SUCCESS)
* </para></listitem>
* <listitem><para>
* 4 if the user aborted the installation (#GST_INSTALL_PLUGINS_USER_ABORT)
* </para></listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <para>
* <emphasis>5. How to map the required detail string to packages</emphasis>
* </para>
* <para>
* It is up to the vendor to find mechanism to map required components from
* the detail string to the actual packages/plugins to install. This could
* be a hardcoded list of mappings, for example, or be part of the packaging
* system metadata.
* </para>
* <para>
* GStreamer plugin files can be introspected for this information. The
* <literal>gst-inspect</literal> utility has a special command line option
* that will output information similar to what is required. For example
* <command>
* $ gst-inspect-0.10 --print-plugin-auto-install-info /path/to/libgstvorbis.so
* </command>
* should output something along the lines of
* <computeroutput>
* decoder-audio/x-vorbis
* element-vorbisdec
* element-vorbisenc
* element-vorbisparse
* element-vorbistag
* encoder-audio/x-vorbis
* </computeroutput>
* Note that in the encoder and decoder case the introspected caps can be more
* complex with additional fields, e.g.
* <literal>audio/mpeg,mpegversion=(int){2,4}</literal>, so they will not
* always exactly match the caps wanted by the application. It is up to the
* installer to deal with this (either by doing proper caps intersection using
* the GStreamer #GstCaps API, or by only taking into account the media type).
* </para>
* <para>
* Another potential source of problems are plugins such as ladspa or
* libvisual where the list of elements depends on the installed
* ladspa/libvisual plugins at the time. This is also up to the distribution
* to handle (but usually not relevant for playback applications).
* </para>
* </refsect2>
