The URIHandler is an interface that is implemented by Source and Sink GstElement to simplify then handling of URI.
An application can use the following functions to quickly get an element
that handles the given URI for reading or writing
(gst_element_make_from_uri()
).
Source and Sink plugins should implement this interface when possible.

GstElements using this interface should implement these methods.
GTypeInterface parent ; |
The parent interface type |
get_type () |
Method to tell whether the element handles source or sink URI. |
get_protocols () |
Method to return the list of protocols handled by the element. |
get_uri () |
Method to return the URI currently handled by the element. |
set_uri () |
Method to set a new URI. |
get_type_full () |
Variant of get_type which takes a GType argument. This is for use by bindings that need to pass context when creating a URI Handler. * If implemented, get_type will be used in preference to get_type_full. Since: 0.10.15 |
get_protocols_full () |
Variant of get_type which takes a GType argument. This is for use by bindings that need to pass context when creating a URI Handler. If implemented, get_protocols will be used in preference to get_protocols_full. Since: 0.10.15 |
typedef enum { GST_URI_UNKNOWN, GST_URI_SINK, GST_URI_SRC } GstURIType;
The different types of URI direction.
#define GST_URI_TYPE_IS_VALID(type) ((type) == GST_URI_SRC || (type) == GST_URI_SINK)
Tests if the type direction is valid.
type : |
A GstURIType |
gboolean gst_uri_protocol_is_valid (const gchar *protocol);
Tests if the given string is a valid protocol identifier. Protocols must consist of alphanumeric characters, '+', '-' and '.' and must start with a alphabetic character. See RFC 3986 Section 3.1.
protocol : |
A string |
Returns : | TRUE if the string is a valid protocol identifier, FALSE otherwise. |
gboolean gst_uri_protocol_is_supported (const GstURIType type, const gchar *protocol);
Checks if an element exists that supports the given URI protocol. Note
that a positive return value does not imply that a subsequent call to
gst_element_make_from_uri()
is guaranteed to work.
type : |
Whether to check for a source or a sink |
protocol : |
Protocol that should be checked for (e.g. "http" or "smb") |
Returns : | TRUE |
Since 0.10.13
gboolean gst_uri_is_valid (const gchar *uri);
Tests if the given string is a valid URI identifier. URIs start with a valid scheme followed by ":" and maybe a string identifying the location.
uri : |
A URI string |
Returns : | TRUE if the string is a valid URI |
gboolean gst_uri_has_protocol (const gchar *uri, const gchar *protocol);
Checks if the protocol of a given valid URI matches protocol
.
uri : |
an URI string |
protocol : |
a protocol string (e.g. "http") |
Returns : | TRUE if the protocol matches.
|
Since 0.10.4
gchar* gst_uri_get_protocol (const gchar *uri);
Extracts the protocol out of a given valid URI. The returned string must be
freed using g_free()
.
uri : |
A URI string |
Returns : | The protocol for this URI. |
gchar* gst_uri_get_location (const gchar *uri);
Extracts the location out of a given valid URI, ie. the protocol and "://"
are stripped from the URI, which means that the location returned includes
the hostname if one is specified. The returned string must be freed using
g_free()
.
uri : |
A URI string |
Returns : | The location for this URI. Returns NULL if the URI isn't valid. If the URI does not contain a location, an empty string is returned. |
gchar* gst_uri_construct (const gchar *protocol, const gchar *location);
Constructs a URI for a given valid protocol and location.
protocol : |
Protocol for URI |
location : |
Location for URI |
Returns : | a new string for this URI. Returns NULL if the given URI protocol is not valid, or the given location is NULL. |
GstElement* gst_element_make_from_uri (const GstURIType type, const gchar *uri, const gchar *elementname);
Creates an element for handling the given URI.
type : |
Whether to create a source or a sink |
uri : |
URI to create an element for |
elementname : |
Name of created element, can be NULL. |
Returns : | a new element or NULL if none could be created |
guint gst_uri_handler_get_uri_type (GstURIHandler *handler);
Gets the type of the given URI handler
handler : |
A GstURIHandler. |
Returns : | the GstURIType of the URI handler.
Returns GST_URI_UNKNOWN if the handler isn't implemented correctly.
|
gchar** gst_uri_handler_get_protocols (GstURIHandler *handler);
Gets the list of protocols supported by handler
. This list may not be
modified.
handler : |
A GstURIHandler. |
Returns : | the supported protocols.
Returns NULL if the handler isn't implemented properly, or the handler
doesn't support any protocols.
|
gchar* gst_uri_handler_get_uri (GstURIHandler *handler);
Gets the currently handled URI.
handler : |
A GstURIHandler |
Returns : | the URI currently handled by the handler .
Returns NULL if there are no URI currently handled. The returned
string must not be modified or freed.
|
gboolean gst_uri_handler_set_uri (GstURIHandler *handler, const gchar *uri);
Tries to set the URI of the given handler.
handler : |
A GstURIHandler |
uri : |
URI to set |
Returns : | TRUE if the URI was set successfully, else FALSE. |
void gst_uri_handler_new_uri (GstURIHandler *handler, const gchar *uri);
Emits the new-uri signal for a given handler, when that handler has a new URI. This function should only be called by URI handlers themselves.
handler : |
A GstURIHandler |
uri : |
new URI or NULL if it was unset |
"new-uri"
signalvoid user_function (GstURIHandler *handler, gchar *uri, gpointer user_data) : Run Last
The URI of the given handler
has changed.
handler : |
The GstURIHandler which emitted the signal |
uri : |
The new URI, or NULL if the URI was removed |
user_data : |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
