Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2017-05-13 08:55:09 UTC 
Does the validate tracer have to be a separate plugin .so? Is it useful outside of validate? Can't it live inside the validate library .so?

Validate can be used in two different ways, as a tracer, or as a lib.

Using it as a tracer allows us to use it in any existing app, and it is pretty usefull fmpov to be able to run scenarios on random apps.

I started developing scenarios for gst-rtsp-server adding validate action in a dedicated plugin, and would like to be able to just use validate as a tracer in that case.
