Description

Determines the media-type of a stream. It applies typefind functions in the order of their rank. One the type has been deteted it sets its src pad caps to the found media type.

Whenever a type is found the “have-type” signal is emitted, either from the streaming thread or the application thread (the latter may happen when typefinding is done pull-based from the state change function).

Plugins can register custom typefinders by using GstTypeFindFactory.

Signal Details

The “have-type” signal

void
user_function (GstTypeFindElement *typefind,
               guint               probability,
               GstCaps            *caps,
               gpointer            user_data)

This signal gets emitted when the type and its probability has been found.

Parameters

typefind

the typefind instance

 

probability

the probability of the type found

 

caps

the caps of the type found

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.
