Plugins

The Plugins section allows you to extend elementary stream analysis with your own custom modules (if you have any you'd like to include with the official distribution, please send them to me).   VK-Tafe will parse the transport stream and pass this data to the user-defined plugin.  If you do not see any plugins at this screen,  please verify that you have a personal configuration file ( ~/.view_knot_tools/view_knot_viewer.config) and that the VIEWER_ROOT_DIR variable points to the root install directory for VK-Tools.  This directory and configuration file are created with the VK-Tools install script. The plugins are located in $(VIEWER_ROOT_DIR)/../vk_tafe/plugins/

I have included two sample plugins.  The source code and makefile for these plugins is in the vk_tafe/plugins.
