Description [src]

Loads the grilo plugin defined by plugin_desc. This is used to load plugins that aren’t shared libraries, and are built into applications.

Minimal example for loading a builtin plugin, in C. static GrlPluginDescriptor descriptor = { .plugin_id = “grl-example”, .plugin_init = grl_example_plugin_init, };

This method is not directly available to language bindings.

Parameters

plugin_desc

Type: GrlPluginDescriptor

The GrlPluginDescriptor for the plugin.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the plugin is initialised correctly.
