Module: Gst::URIHandler

Defined in:

(unknown)

Overview

The Gst::URIHandler is an interface that is implemented by Source and Sink Gst::Element to unify 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.
