I just saw some messages from Saturday that I had overlooked while

Can you please show me how Emacs invokes get-plugins-good?
How does that function specify plugins to use?

That's not a very convincing reason.
If there is nothing bad about connecting Emacs to GStreamer, then
there's no reason to oppose it. But if there is something bad,
it would take a good, strong reason to overcome that counter-reason.
> Reading web pages that have embedded videos is quite common.
Those videos are very often links to Youtube, which depend on running
nonfree JS code. If the aim of linking with GStreamer is to make
those embedded Youtube videos work in Emacs, we should not do it!
Unless we can bypass the JS code of Youtube.
We may be able to do that, if we make those embedded video links
automatically talk to invidious proxies rather than to youtube.
Can someone see how to implement that?
