Christopher Brooks commented on MH-7641:
----------------------------------------
Before introducing changes to such an important and poorly understood (by all
of us!) aspect of the system, we need to show real need for it and demonstrate
clearly how it will make things better. I feel like we are doing too much
guesswork with gstreamer; it would be better to devote this time to
understanding the source code better.
> Refactor all the Gstreamer-related code out of the capture agent and put it
> inside its own bundle

> (18:56:24) Rubencino: Imagine we've got a couple bundles that use gstreamer
> (18:56:34) Rubencino: and suposse that one of them finishes the work and
> calls deinit
> (18:57:07) Rubencino: if the other is currently doing something with
> gstreamer, it will probably crash
> (18:57:17) Rubencino: because the underlying framework is all the same
> (18:57:20) greg_logan: yup
> (18:57:22) jholtzman: I see... yes, we would not be able to call deinit there
> [...]
> I think it's a solution in search of a problem. We don't have enough code
> using gstreamer at the moment to make that kind of refactoring worth it.
> (19:12:23) greg_logan: maybe once we get confidence monitoring in and going
> again, but not yet
> (19:12:41) jholtzman: greg_logan: Rubencino The way to do this is, in my
> opinion, create an OSGI bundle that exports the gstreamer packages
> (19:12:54) jholtzman: rather than bundling gstreamer in the CA impl jar, as
> we do now
> (19:13:03) jholtzman: that jar can have a bundle activator
> (19:13:07) jholtzman: that calls init and deinit
> (19:13:20) jholtzman: so if the gstreamer packages are available, gstreamer's
> been init'ed
> (19:13:27) jholtzman: if they are not, it's been de-inited
> (19:13:32) jholtzman: ok, cool
