Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first attempt for XML embedding in the main core XML.
Objects will emit a signal that a user app can connect to in order to
insert its XML into the tree.
You can catch the object_loaded signal in GstXML to parse the user
supplied XML data in the stream. The object_loaded signal is implemented
with a custom made class signal. All GstObject classes now automatically
create a GstSignalObject that serves as a proxy to the user app when an
object is loaded. All objects are currently responsible to emit the
class signal themselves.
runxml and createxml serve as an example how the XML hooks can be used to
insert and retrieve custom XML tags.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:
- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.
Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.
