Registering frei0r plugin.

> The frei0r effects have to be added to  /usr/lib/frei0r-1

I am following this:
https://frei0r.dyne.org/codedoc/html/group__pluglocations.html

And melt can find it just fine. I think it is great that one can
install plugins locally. :-)

"Kdenlive parses the effect folder at each startup, so that if you
have an XML file describing a new effect, just copy it to your
~/.kde/share/apps/kdenlive/effects/ folder and restart Kdenlive to
enable the new effect."

I have seen videos where people say that you have to install it system
wide. I have never tested locally, but I am very reluctant. :-)

This is really great news!

Is this the reason it is "blocked"?

I will try to fix it, then.
Does anyone know if the "keyframe" parameter has a working GUI?

Some 20 years ago, I would go with my own solution. I will try to fix
the bgsubtractor. I will try to figure which project it belongs to, so
I can clone the repo.
