The Discoverer is a utility object which allows to get as much
information as possible from one or many URIs.
It provides two APIs, allowing usage in blocking or non-blocking mode.
The blocking mode just requires calling Discoverer::discover_uri
with the URI one wishes to discover.
The non-blocking mode requires a running glib::MainLoop iterating a
glib::MainContext, where one connects to the various signals, appends the
URIs to be processed (through Discoverer::discover_uri_async) and then
asks for the discovery to begin (through Discoverer::start).
By default this will use the GLib default main context unless you have
set a custom context using glib::MainContext::push_thread_default.
All the information is returned in a DiscovererInfo structure.
Implements
Creates a new Discoverer with the provided timeout.
timeout
timeout per file, in nanoseconds. Allowed are values between
one second (GST_SECOND) and one hour (3600 * GST_SECOND)
Returns
The new Discoverer.
If an error occurred when creating the discoverer, err will be set
accordingly and None will be returned. If err is set, the caller must
free it when no longer needed using glib::Error::free.
Synchronously discovers the given uri.
A copy of uri will be made internally, so the caller can safely g_free
afterwards.
uri
The URI to run on.
Returns
the result of the scanning. Can be None if an
error occurred.
Appends the given uri to the list of URIs to discoverer. The actual
discovery of the uri will only take place if Discoverer::start has
been called.
A copy of uri will be made internally, so the caller can safely g_free
afterwards.
uri
the URI to add.
Returns
true if the uri was successfully appended to the list of pending
uris, else false
Allow asynchronous discovering of URIs to take place.
A glib::MainLoop must be available for Discoverer to properly work in
asynchronous mode.
Stop the discovery of any pending URIs and clears the list of pending URIS (if any).
Will be emitted in async mode when all information on a URI could be discovered, or an error occurred.
When an error occurs, info might still contain some partial information,
depending on the circumstances of the error.
info
the results DiscovererInfo
error
glib::Error, which will be non-NULL
if an error occurred during
discovery. You must not free
this glib::Error, it will be freed by
the discoverer.
Will be emitted in async mode when all pending URIs have been processed.
This signal is emitted after the source element has been created for, so the URI being discovered, so it can be configured by setting additional properties (e.g. set a proxy server for an http source, or set the device and read speed for an audio cd source).
This signal is usually emitted from the context of a GStreamer streaming thread.
source
source element
Will be emitted when the discover starts analyzing the pending URIs
The duration (in nanoseconds) after which the discovery of an individual URI will timeout.
If the discovery of a URI times out, the DiscovererResult::Timeout will be
set on the result flags.
The duration (in nanoseconds) after which the discovery of an individual URI will timeout.
If the discovery of a URI times out, the DiscovererResult::Timeout will be
set on the result flags.

Base structure for information concerning a media stream. Depending on the
stream type, one can find more media-specific information in
DiscovererAudioInfo, DiscovererVideoInfo, and
DiscovererContainerInfo.
The DiscovererStreamInfo represents the topology of the stream. Siblings
can be iterated over with DiscovererStreamInfoExt::get_next and
DiscovererStreamInfoExt::get_previous. Children (sub-streams) of a
stream can be accessed using the DiscovererContainerInfo API.
As a simple example, if you run Discoverer on an AVI file with one audio
and one video stream, you will get a DiscovererContainerInfo
corresponding to the AVI container, which in turn will have a
DiscovererAudioInfo sub-stream and a DiscovererVideoInfo sub-stream
for the audio and video streams respectively.
