<para>
|
|
GStreamer is extensible so <classname>GstElements</classname> can be loaded at runtime. A plugin
|
|
system can provide one or more of the basic <application>GStreamer</application>
|
|
#GstPluginFeature subclasses.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A plugin should export a symbol plugin_desc that is a struct of type #GstPluginDesc.
|
|
the plugin loader will check the version of the core library the plugin was linked against
|
|
and will create a new #GstPlugin. It will then call the #GstPluginInitFunc function
|
|
that was provided in the plugin_desc.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once you have a handle to a #GstPlugin, you can add any object that subclasses #GstPluginFeature.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
use gst_plugin_find_feature() and gst_plugin_get_feature_list() to find features in a plugin.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Usually plugins are always automaticlly loaded so you don't need to call gst_plugin_load() explicitly
|
|
to bring it into memory. There are options to statically link plugins to an app or even
|
|
use GStreamer without a plugin repository in which case gst_plugin_load() can be needed
|
|
to bring the plugin into memory.
