GstCaps is used to attach capabilities to a pad. Capabilities are made of
|
|
a mime-type and a set of properties. GstCaps can be named and chained into
|
|
a list, which is then a GstCaps on its own.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
GstCaps are created with gst_caps_new(), which takes a name, a mime type and
|
|
a pointer to a #GstProps. A convenience macro with a cleaner syntax is
|
|
available to create a caps with GST_CAPS_NEW(). The following example shows how
|
|
to create a GstCaps.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GstCaps *caps;
|
|
|
|
caps = gst_caps_new (
|
|
"my_caps", /* capability name */
|
|
"audio/raw", /* mime type */
|
|
gst_props_new ( /* properties */
|
|
"format", GST_PROPS_STRING ("float"),
|
|
"layout", GST_PROPS_INT (5),
|
|
NULL));
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
The following code example is equivalent to the above example:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GstCaps *caps;
|
|
|
|
caps = GST_CAPS_NEW (
|
|
"my_caps", /* capability name */
|
|
"audio/raw", /* mime type */
|
|
"format", GST_PROPS_STRING ("float"),
|
|
"channels", GST_PROPS_INT (5)
|
|
);
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
GstCaps are refcounted with gst_caps_ref() and gst_caps_unref().
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
GstCaps can be chained with the gst_caps_append(), gst_caps_prepend() and
|
|
gst_caps_chain() functions. Use gst_caps_get_by_name() to get a named caps
|
|
structure from a chained list.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
To get the properties of a caps structure the functions
|
|
gst_caps_get_boolean(), gst_caps_get_fourcc_int(), gst_caps_get_int(),
|
|
gst_caps_get_string(), gst_caps_get_float(), which all take a property name as an argument.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The properties of the caps structure can be modified with gst_caps_set, which
|
|
takes a list of key value pairs in the #GstProps syntax as shown by this example:
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GstCaps *caps;
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
gst_caps_set (caps, "format", GST_PROPS_STRING ("int"), NULL);
|
|
gst_caps_set (caps, "channels", GST_PROPS_INT (20), NULL);
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
before modifying a GstCaps, it is a good idea to make a copy if it first with
|
|
gst_caps_copy_on_write(). This will copy the GstCaps if the refcount is >1.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you need a unique instance of a GstCaps you can use the convenient
|
|
GST_CAPS_FACTORY() macro as shown below.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GST_CAPS_FACTORY (my_caps,
|
|
GST_CAPS_NEW (
|
|
"caps1",
|
|
"audio/raw",
|
|
"format", GST_PROPS_STRING ("float"),
|
|
"channels", GST_PROPS_INT (5)
|
|
),
|
|
GST_CAPS_NEW (
|
|
"caps2",
|
|
"audio/raw",
|
|
"format", GST_PROPS_STRING ("int"),
|
|
"channels", GST_PROPS_INT (5)
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
void
|
|
some_function (void)
|
|
{
|
|
GstCaps *caps = GST_CAPS_GET (my_caps);
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
</programlisting>
