particular network source types and so on. Therefore, there is a URI
interface, which can be used to get the source element that supports a
particular URI type. There is no strict rule for URI naming, but in
general we follow naming conventions that others use, too. For example,
assuming you have the correct plugins installed, GStreamer supports
“file:///\<path\>/\<file\>”, “http://\<host\>/\<path\>/\<file\>”,
“mms://\<host\>/\<path\>/\<file\>”, and so on.

In order to get the source or sink element supporting a particular URI,
use `gst_element_make_from_uri ()`, with the URI type being either
`GST_URI_SRC` for a source element, or `GST_URI_SINK` for a sink

The Video Overlay interface was created to solve the problem of
embedding video streams in an application window. The application
provides an window handle to the element implementing this interface to
draw on, and the element will then use this window handle to draw on
provides a window handle to an element implementing this interface,
and the element will then use this window handle to draw on
rather than creating a new toplevel window. This is useful to embed
video in video players.
This interface is implemented by, amongst others, the Video4linux2
elements and by ximagesink, xvimagesink and sdlvideosink.
