Summary: Permit missing codec installation when
GST_REGISTRY_UPDATE=no
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: 1.4.5
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: gstreamer (core)
AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: mcatanzaro at gnome.org
QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
CC: slomo at coaxion.net
GNOME version: ---
It would be nice for gstreamer to detect the presence of new plugins even when
running with GST_REGISTRY_UPDATE=no, which we're going to need to use to
sandbox the web process in WebKitGTK+. Otherwise, I think we'll need to restart
our web processes when a plugin is installed.
slomo: restarting the web process can be prevented with some changes in
gstreamer though
slomo: gstreamer/gst/gstregistry.c, gst_update_registry() ->
ensure_current_registry() is the interesting part
slomo: basically you need a way to set _gst_disable_registry_cache to FALSE
again
slomo: assuming that code can actually be called twice, otherwise that needs
to be fixed too
slomo: maybe it should actually be always called again
