## Detailed Description

A class that gets a pipeline from a text pipeline description.

The methods in this class allow to create a pipeline based on the syntax used in the gst-launch utillity.

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element> Gst::Parse::create_bin | ( | const Glib::ustring & | bin_description,
|  | bool | ghost_unconnected_pads
| ) |  | `[static]`

This is a convenience wrapper around launch() to create a Gst::Bin from a gst-launch-style pipeline description.

See launch() and the gst-launch man page for details about the syntax. Ghost pads on the bin for unconnected source or sink pads within the bin can automatically be created (but only a maximum of one ghost pad for each direction will be created; if you expect multiple unconnected source pads or multiple unconnected sink pads and want them all ghosted, you will have to create the ghost pads yourself).

Parameters:

  bin_description | Command line describing the bin.
  ghost_unconnected_pads | Whether to automatically create ghost pads for unconnected source or sink pads within the bin.
  err | Where to store the error message in case of an error.

Returns:
  A newly-created bin, or a null RefPtr<> if an error occurred.

Exceptions:

  Gst::CoreError |
  Gst::ParseError |

static Glib::QueryQuark Gst::Parse::error_quark | ( | ) | `[static]`

Get the error quark used by the parsing subsystem.

Returns:
  The quark of the parse errors.

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element> Gst::Parse::launch | ( | const Glib::ustring & | pipeline_description ) | `[static]`

Create a new pipeline based on command line syntax.

Please note that you might get a return value that is not a null RefPtr<> even though the error is set. In this case there was a recoverable parsing error and you can try to play the pipeline.

Parameters:

  pipeline_description | The command line describing the pipeline.
  error | The error message in case of an erroneous pipeline.

Returns:
  A new element on success, a null RefPtr<> on failure. If more than one toplevel element is specified by the pipeline_description, all elements are put into a Gst::Pipeline, which than is returned.

Exceptions:

  Gst::CoreError |
  Gst::ParseError |

static Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element> Gst::Parse::launchv | ( | const gchar * | argv[] ) | `[static]`

Create a new element based on command line syntax.

An error does not mean that the pipeline could not be constructed.

Parameters:

  argv | null-terminated array of arguments.
  error | Will contain an error message if an erroneuos pipeline is specified.

Returns:
  A new element on success and null on failure.

Exceptions:

  Gst::CoreError |
  Gst::ParseError |
