Description

GstBin that auto-magically constructs a decoding pipeline using available decoders and demuxers via auto-plugging.

When using decodebin in your application, connect a signal handler to "new-decoded-pad" and connect your sinks from within the callback function.

Note

This element is deprecated and no longer supported. You should use the uridecodebin or decodebin2 element instead (or, even better: playbin2).

Property Details

The "threaded" property

  "threaded"                 gboolean              : Read / Write

Use threads.

Default value: FALSE

The "sink-caps" property

  "sink-caps"                GstCaps*              : Read / Write

The caps of the input data. (NULL = use typefind element).

Signal Details

The "new-decoded-pad" signal

void                user_function                      (GstDecodeBin *bin,
                                                        GstPad       *pad,
                                                        gboolean      islast,
                                                        gpointer      user_data)      : Run Last

This signal gets emitted as soon as a new pad of the same type as one of the valid 'raw' types is added.

bin :

 The decodebin

pad :

 The newly created pad

islast :

 TRUE if this is the last pad to be added. Deprecated.

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "removed-decoded-pad" signal

void                user_function                      (GstDecodeBin *bin,
                                                        GstPad       *pad,
                                                        gpointer      user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted when a 'final' caps pad has been removed.

bin :

 The decodebin

pad :

 The pad that was removed

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "unknown-type" signal

void                user_function                      (GstDecodeBin *bin,
                                                        GstPad       *pad,
                                                        GstCaps      *caps,
                                                        gpointer      user_data)      : Run Last

This signal is emitted when a pad for which there is no further possible decoding is added to the decodebin.

bin :

 The decodebin

pad :

 The new pad containing caps that cannot be resolved to a 'final' stream type.

caps :

 The GstCaps of the pad that cannot be resolved.

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.
