GstChildProxy

GstChildProxy — Interface for multi child elements.

Types and Values

Object Hierarchy

    GInterface
    ╰── GstChildProxy

Prerequisites

GstChildProxy requires GObject.

Known Implementations

GstChildProxy is implemented by GstBin and GstPipeline.

Includes

#include <gst/gst.h>

Description

This interface abstracts handling of property sets for elements with children. Imagine elements such as mixers or polyphonic generators. They all have multiple GstPad or some kind of voice objects. Another use case are container elements like GstBin. The element implementing the interface acts as a parent for those child objects.

By implementing this interface the child properties can be accessed from the parent element by using gst_child_proxy_get() and gst_child_proxy_set().

Property names are written as "child-name::property-name". The whole naming scheme is recursive. Thus "child1::child2::property" is valid too, if "child1" and "child2" implement the GstChildProxy interface.

Functions

gst_child_proxy_get_children_count ()

guint
gst_child_proxy_get_children_count (GstChildProxy *parent);

Gets the number of child objects this parent contains.

Parameters

parent

the parent object

 

Returns

the number of child objects

MT safe.


gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_name ()

GObject *
gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_name (GstChildProxy *parent,
                                   const gchar *name);

Looks up a child element by the given name.

This virtual method has a default implementation that uses GstObject together with gst_object_get_name(). If the interface is to be used with GObjects, this methods needs to be overridden.

Parameters

parent

the parent object to get the child from

 

name

the child's name

 

Returns

the child object or NULL if not found. Unref after usage.

MT safe.

gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_index ()

GObject *
gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_index (GstChildProxy *parent,
                                    guint index);

Fetches a child by its number.

Parameters

parent

the parent object to get the child from

 

index

the child's position in the child list

 

Returns

the child object or NULL if not found (index too high). Unref after usage.

MT safe.

gst_child_proxy_lookup ()

gboolean
gst_child_proxy_lookup (GstChildProxy *object,
                        const gchar *name,
                        GObject **target,
                        GParamSpec **pspec);

Looks up which object and GParamSpec would be effected by the given name .

MT safe.

Parameters

object

child proxy object to lookup the property in

 

name

name of the property to look up

 

target

pointer to a GObject that takes the real object to set property on.

[out][allow-none][transfer full]

pspec

pointer to take the GParamSpec describing the property.

[out][allow-none][transfer none]

Returns

TRUE if target and pspec could be found. FALSE otherwise. In that case the values for pspec and target are not modified. Unref target after usage. For plain GObjects target is the same as object .


gst_child_proxy_get_property ()

void
gst_child_proxy_get_property (GstChildProxy *object,

Gets a single property using the GstChildProxy mechanism. You are responsible for freeing it by calling g_value_unset()
