[Bug 752574] New Seizure-Prevention Plugin for Video Streams

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

Out of necessity, yes.  I've live-streamed several conferences with
simultaneous viewership counts in the mid-hundreds, some of which include
desktop-based video streams which are more likely to induce seizures on account
of rapid window switching.

At least one viewer (who was unaffected) was watching a live video stream in
mid-flight.  Other viewers use smartphones which typically don't have rapid
flashing as part of the UI -- the risk exposure is watching the live stream
itself.

A high-profile incident:

I've read through GStreamer's technical documentation but I haven't developed a
GStreamer plugin before.
