Struct gstreamer::ElementFactory[][src]

pub struct ElementFactory(_);
Expand description

ElementFactory is used to create instances of elements. A GstElementFactory can be added to a Plugin as it is also a PluginFeature.

Use the find() and create() functions to create element instances or use make() as a convenient shortcut.

The following code example shows you how to create a GstFileSrc element.

Using an element factory

  #include <gst/gst.h>

  GstElement *src;
  GstElementFactory *srcfactory;

  gst_init (&argc, &argv);

  srcfactory = gst_element_factory_find ("filesrc");
  g_return_if_fail (srcfactory != NULL);
  src = gst_element_factory_create (srcfactory, "src");
  g_return_if_fail (src != NULL);
  ...

Implementations

Checks if the factory can sink all possible capabilities.

caps

the caps to check

Returns

true if the caps are fully compatible.

Checks if the factory can sink any possible capability.

caps

the caps to check

Returns

true if the caps have a common subset.

Checks if the factory can src all possible capabilities.

caps

the caps to check

Returns

true if the caps have a common subset.

Create a new element of the type defined by the given elementfactory. It will be given the name supplied, since all elements require a name as their first argument.

name

name of new element, or None to automatically create a unique name

Returns

new Element or None if the element couldn’t be created

Get the GType for elements managed by this factory. The type can only be retrieved if the element factory is loaded, which can be assured with PluginFeatureExtManual::load().

Returns

the GType for elements managed by this factory or 0 if the factory is not loaded.

Get the metadata on self with key.

key

a key

Returns

the metadata with key on self or None when there was no metadata with the given key.

Get the available keys for the metadata on self.

Returns

a None-terminated array of key strings, or None when there is no metadata. Free with g_strfreev() when no longer needed.

Gets the number of pad_templates in this factory.

Returns

the number of pad_templates

Gets the GList of StaticPadTemplate for this factory.

Returns

the static pad templates

Gets a None-terminated array of protocols this element supports or None if no protocols are supported. You may not change the contents of the returned array, as it is still owned by the element factory. Use g_strdupv() to make a copy of the protocol string array if you need to.

Returns

the supported protocols or None

Gets the type of URIs the element supports or URIType::Unknown if none.

Returns

type of URIs this element supports

Check if self implements the interface with name interfacename.

interfacename

an interface name

Returns

true when self implement the interface.

Check if self is of the given types.

type_

a GstElementFactoryListType

Returns

true if self is of type_.

Search for an element factory of the given name. Refs the returned element factory; caller is responsible for unreffing.

name

name of factory to find

Returns

ElementFactory if found, None otherwise

Filter out all the elementfactories in list that can handle caps in the given direction.

If subsetonly is true, then only the elements whose pads templates are a complete superset of caps will be returned. Else any element whose pad templates caps can intersect with caps will be returned.

list

a GList of ElementFactory to filter

caps

a Caps

direction

a PadDirection to filter on

subsetonly

whether to filter on caps subsets or not.

Returns

a GList of ElementFactory elements that match the given requisites. Use gst_plugin_feature_list_free after usage.

Get a list of factories that match the given type_. Only elements with a rank greater or equal to minrank will be returned. The list of factories is returned by decreasing rank.

type_

a GstElementFactoryListType

minrank

Minimum rank

Returns

a GList of ElementFactory elements. Use gst_plugin_feature_list_free() after usage.

Create a new element of the type defined by the given element factory. If name is None, then the element will receive a guaranteed unique name, consisting of the element factory name and a number. If name is given, it will be given the name supplied.

factoryname

a named factory to instantiate

name

name of new element, or None to automatically create a unique name

Returns

new Element or None if unable to create element
