Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2006-08-05 20:32:29 UTC 
we need a flag for plugins, that tells the registry scanning at startup to ask the plugin, if it needs to reload (ladspa, buzzmachines, pitdfll). If one e.g. installs a new ladspa effect plugin, the gstreamer ladspa wrapper has no chance to register it.

and libvisual.

Also see bug #340878.
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2006-08-13 09:56:36 UTC 
also python plugins #350477
Comment 3 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2006-08-13 09:59:45 UTC 
A virtual method in GstPlugin would probably be the best. Then we could subclass GstPlugin and have GstPythonPlugin or GstWrapperPlugin. Each of them overrides the virtual had_changed method(). The default implementation check *.so timestamps like now.
Comment 4 Edward Hervey 2006-08-13 10:03:06 UTC 
The problem is that it requires loading some extra .so.
I proposed something in #350477 that doesn't require extra loading and is still versatile enough to cope with all cases.
