Find Plugin at Runtime (gst-inspect-1.0?)

[David Manpearl]

a) Does anyone know how to determine at runtime if a plugin is available (such as "vaapih264dec")?

b) And if a supporting library is properly installed (such as "vainfo")?

I think this falls into the territory of how to execute gst-inspect-1.0 programmatically.

You can do gst_element_factory_make ("vaapih264dec", NULL), and if it
returns NULL it does not exist. This of course assumes you'll be using
it. If not, then use gst_element_factory_find("vaapih264dec").

See GstElementFactory in general to find out how to query the plugins
database.
