Hello Emilio,
I do not concur with all parts of your patch:
- why do you change P_DEFAULT_PLUGIN_DIR? Its not used anyways and should be
removed -> I will do so
- why do you not want to do the check for /usr/lib on freeBSD? This is usual
procedure for libraries as well. In case it is not found it will be looked for
in /usr/local/lib. What I can propose is to set the trace level to DEBUG, not
ERROR for the dir names that are being searched.
- You added an if in case a filename with length = 0 should be openend. This
makes sense if x264 was not detected at compile time. I will add this.

Matthias
