This section talks about the different things you can do when building
|
||
|
|
and shipping your applications and plugins.

The <ulink type="http"

|
|
url="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/index.html">Plugin
|
||
|
|
Writer's Guide</ulink> describes in great detail how to write elements
|
||
|
|
for the &GStreamer; framework. In this section, we will solely discuss
|
||
|
|
how to embed such elements statically in your application. This can be
|
||
|
|
useful for application-specific elements that have no use elsewhere in
|
||
|
|
&GStreamer;.

<para>

Dynamically loaded plugins contain a structure that's defined using
|
||
|
|
<function>GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE ()</function>. This structure is loaded
|
||
|
|
when the plugin is loaded by the &GStreamer; core. The structure
|
||
|
|
contains an initialization function (usually called
|
||
|
|
<function>plugin_init</function>) that will be called right after that.
|
||
|
|
It's purpose is to register the elements provided by the plugin with
|
||
|
|
the &GStreamer; framework.
|
||
|
|
If you want to embed elements directly in
|
||
|
|
your application, the only thing you need to do is to replace
|
||
|
|
<function>GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE ()</function> with a call to
|
||
|
|
<function>gst_plugin_register_static ()</function>. As soon as you
|
||
|
|
call <function>gst_plugin_register_static ()</function>, the elements
|
||
|
|
will from then on be available like any other element, without them
|
||
|
|
having to be dynamically loadable libraries. In the example below, you
|
||
|
|
would be able to call <function>gst_element_factory_make
|
||
|
|
("my-element-name", "some-name")</function> to create an instance of the
|
||
|
|
element.
