The following plugin modes are supported: 1) registry based ----------------- All known plugins are listed in the registry file. gst_plugin_find ("pluginname"); Works right after gst_init (), along with the elements in it. dynamic loading of the plugin is performed when a feature inside it is requested. example: registry.c. (You might want to run gstreamer-register with the --gst-plugin-path=. to added the test dir to the plugin path so that the testplugins can be found) 2) non registry based, dynmic loading ------------------------------------- Plugins are know after a gst_plugin_load ("pluginname"). This function will scan de plugin paths, so you might want to perform a gst_plugin_add_path ("path"). After the gst_plugin_load(), the features are available without any further actions. example: dynamic.c 3) non registry based, shared linking ------------------------------------- You can add the plugin .so (or equivalent) file to the LDFLAGS at compile time. The plugin will be known after the gst_init() without any further actions. example: linked.c 4) non registry based, static linking ------------------------------------- Plugin compiled with the GST_PLUGIN_STATIC defined can be statically linked to the executable. The plugin is available after gst_init () without any further actions. example: static.c (plugins are statically linked from another file) static2.c (plugins are included in the main file) Any combination of the above is possible too, for example, you can use a registry, have some plugins load dynamically and have another few linked in as a shared lib. You cannot statically link multiple plugins that are compiled without the GST_PLUGIN_STATIC symbol defined (this will cause multiple defined at link time for obvious reasons)
