Description Benjamin Otte (Company) 2004-02-13 08:38:17 UTC 
This lib should either be integrated into libgstinterfaces, be installed in
libdir or be made a plugin. 

I don't even know what it is, so I'm not going to suggest anything, I only
know the current way of installing a lib in the plugins dir is wrong.
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2004-02-24 16:35:11 UTC 
This is correct behaviour.

xwindowlistener is a plugin that is used by v4l/v4l2 (and in future by
dxr3) plugins to "listen" to the position/size/overlaying windows on a
specifix XWindow. This is useful for hardware overlay (which all of
those provide) through means of X windows. This can then be used to
make the element support th xoverlay interface.

It is not a lib, since only plugins use it, apps don't. But it is not
an element either. So it is a helper plugin, and the current behaviour
is correct.
Comment 2 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2004-02-25 13:21:06 UTC 
Plugins in $LIBDIR/gstreamer-0.7 are not versioned.
This file is.

This is a bug.

If this is something like bytestream, gstaudio, gsttagediting or 
similar helper-plugins, it should not be versioned.
If it is a lib, it should move to $LIBDIR instead.

This appears to have been fixed.
