About the VLC plugins

[yKevin]

Hello, everyone

As you know, VLC is very great! It's plugins are so flexible. And now I want to add a new plugin to the VLC project, but the
problem is HOWTO?
In the beginning, I tried to change an exist plugin to my own code, i.e., I exchange the names of my own code and the exist plugin code.
e.g., I copied my own code myowncode.c to the ../module/codec directory, and chang the name to x264.c.
But it did not work. The vlc can not loadin the plugin(it's ".so" file).
Now the questions are:
What is the process of loadin a plugin?
And how to "register" a new plugin?

Any information about VLC plugin is welcomed .
Thank you very much.

read HACKING at the base of the sources

Is you module correctly built ? does ldd -r show any missing libraries ?
what's the error when vlc tries to load your module ?
