location of plugins cache on a windows system.

Phil Pellouchoud
Hi,

I have a question about plugin registry caching.  On a windows system,
where is the plugin registry stored?

I know you can doink around with the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment
variable to identify the location of plugins, but it seems like it's got
to be caching that data somewhere because when I do a gst-inspect after
setting that, the information comes back immediately - I can't believe
that it's loading every single DLL and querying it.

The registry is stored in
%USERPROFILE%\.gstreamer-0.10\registry.i686.xml
at least on my system ;-)

Okay, cool.  On my home system, I see that file, but on my work system,
I don't.  How does that file get built/rebuilt?

Re: location of plugins cache on a windows system.

It it not easy expect the exact location of plugin cache in Windows. Usually it goes under %USERPROFILE%\.gstreamer-0.10\registry.i686.xml. However, when I execute gst-launch-0.10 in Cygwin, now the cache is located in $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.i686.xml
