— Function: gst-parse-error-quark   (ret unsigned-int)

Get the error quark used by the parsing subsystem.

ret

the quark of the parse errors.

— Function: gst-parse-launch (pipeline_description mchars)   (ret <gst-element>)

Create a new pipeline based on command line syntax. Please note that you might get a return value that is not ‘#f’ even though the error is set. In this case there was a recoverable parsing error and you can try to play the pipeline.

pipeline-description

the command line describing the pipeline

error

the error message in case of an erroneous pipeline.

ret

a new element on success, ‘#f’ 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.

— Function: gst-parse-bin-from-description (bin_description mchars) (ghost_unconnected_pads bool)   (ret <gst-element>)

This is a convenience wrapper around gst-parse-launch to create a <gst-bin> from a gst-launch-style pipeline description. See gst-parse-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).

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, or NULL

ret

a newly-created bin, or NULL if an error occurred.
