add_dependency_simple


Description:

public void add_dependency_simple (string? env_vars, string? paths, string? names, PluginDependencyFlags flags)

Make GStreamer aware of external dependencies which affect the feature set of this plugin (ie.

the elements or typefinders associated with it).

GStreamer will re-inspect plugins with external dependencies whenever any of the external dependencies change. This is useful for plugins which wrap other plugin systems, e.g. a plugin which wraps a plugin-based visualisation library and makes visualisations available as GStreamer elements, or a codec loader which exposes elements and/or caps dependent on what external codec libraries are currently installed.

Convenience wrapper function for add_dependency which takes simple strings as arguments instead of string arrays, with multiple arguments separated by predefined delimiters (see above).

Parameters:

one ore more directory paths (separated by ':' or ';' or ','), or null. Example: "/usr/lib/mystuff/plugins"
