Comment (by pulkomandy):
The search for add-ons is currently done on media_server side, and it then
sends the refs back to the application. I think the ida was to have the
media_server watch for plugins and maintain a list in memory, but then
this was changed in order to make sure user add-ons are searched first,
and as a result the dirs are re-scanned each time the methods are called.
I'm not sure if the code can easily be moved application-side however.
Another solution is having the app send its architecture to media_server,
so the right add-ons can be searched. But it seems the media_server will
"test" the plugin locally before giving a ref to the app, which would turn
the problem backwards...
