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...
