+Video site parsing scripts
+--------------------------
+
+totem-pl-parser can "parse" pages from certain websites into a single
+video playback URL. This is particularly useful for websites which
+show a unique video on a web page, and use one-time URLs to prevent direct
+linking.
+
+This feature is implemented in a helper binary, which needs to be installed
+next to this README file, in totem-pl-parser's `libexec` directory, or
+in the directory pointed to by the `TOTEM_PL_PARSER_VIDEOSITE_SCRIPT`
+environment variable.
+
+totem-pl-parser used to ship such a script that used libquvi, but doesn't
+anymore. The first script (when sorted by lexicographic ordering) in the
+aforementioned directory will be used.
+
+The API to implement is straight-forward. For each URL that needs to
+be checked, the script will be called with the command-line arguments
+`--check --url` followed by the URL. The script should return the
+string `TRUE` if the script knows how to handle video pages from
+this site. This call should not making any network calls, and should
+be fast.
+
+If the video site is handled by the script, then the script can be
+called with `--url` followed by the URL. The script can return the
+strings `TOTEM_PL_PARSER_RESULT_ERROR` or
+`TOTEM_PL_PARSER_RESULT_UNHANDLED` to indicate an error (see the
+meaning of those values in the [totem-pl-parser API 
documentation](https://developer.gnome.org/totem-pl-parser/stable/TotemPlParser.html#TotemPlParserResult)),
+or a list of `<key>=<value>` pairs separated by newlines characters (`\n`)
+The keys are listed as [metadata 
fields](https://developer.gnome.org/totem-pl-parser/stable/TotemPlParser.html#TOTEM-PL-PARSER-FIELD-URI:CAPS)
+in the API documentation, such as:
+
+```
+url=https://www.videosite.com/unique-link-to.mp4
+title=Unique Link to MP4
+author=Well-known creator
+```
+
+Integrators should make sure that totem-pl-parser is shipped with at
+least one video site parser, in a separate package, such as a third-party parser
+that implements a compatible API as explained above. Do **NOT** ship
+third-party parsers in the same package as totem or totem-pl-parser itself.
