Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can handle.
Pad and PadTemplates have GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type
they are capable of dealing with. gst_pad_template_get_caps() is used to get
the caps of a padtemplate. It's not possible to modify the caps of a
padtemplate after creation.
Padtemplates can be created with gst_pad_template_new() or with the
convenient GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_FACTORY() macro. A padtemplate can be used to
create a pad or to add to an elementfactory.
The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.
Example 12. Create a pad from a padtemplate
GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
"sink", // the name of the pad
GST_PAD_SINK, // the direction of the pad
GST_PAD_ALWAYS, // when this pad will be present
GST_STATIC_CAPS ( // the capabilities of the padtemplate
"audio/x-raw-int, "
"channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
)
)
void
my_method (void)
{
GstPad *pad;
pad = gst_pad_new_from_template (GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_GET (my_template_factory), "sink");
...
}
The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an elementfactory:
gboolean
my_factory_init (GstPlugin *plugin)
{
GstElementFactory *factory;
factory = gst_element_factory_new ("my_factory", GST_TYPE_MYFACTORY, &gst_myfactory_details);
g_return_val_if_fail (factory != NULL, FALSE);
gst_element_factory_add_pad_template (factory, GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_GET (my_template_factory));
gst_plugin_add_feature (plugin, GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE (factory));
return TRUE;
}

Indicates when this pad will become available.
GST_PAD_ALWAYS |
the pad is always available |
GST_PAD_SOMETIMES |
the pad will become available depending on the media stream |
GST_PAD_REQUEST |
the pad is only available on request with
gst_element_request_pad_by_name() or gst_element_request_compatible_pad().

GstPadTemplate* gst_pad_template_new (const gchar *name_template, GstPadDirection direction, GstPadPresence presence, GstCaps *caps);
Creates a new pad template with a name according to the given template and with the given arguments. This functions takes ownership of the provided caps, so be sure to not use them afterwards.
name_template : |
the name template. |
direction : |
the GstPadDirection of the template. |
presence : |
the GstPadPresence of the pad. |
caps : |
a GstCaps set for the template. The caps are taken ownership of. |
| Returns : | a new GstPadTemplate. |
GstPadTemplate* gst_static_pad_template_get (GstStaticPadTemplate *pad_template);
Converts a GstStaticPadTemplate into a GstPadTemplate.
pad_template : |
the static pad template |
| Returns : | a new GstPadTemplate. |
GstCaps* gst_static_pad_template_get_caps (GstStaticPadTemplate *templ);
Gets the capabilities of the static pad template.
templ : |
a GstStaticPadTemplate to get capabilities of. |
| Returns : | the GstCaps of the static pad template. If you need to keep a
reference to the caps, take a ref (see gst_caps_ref()).
|
GstCaps* gst_pad_template_get_caps (GstPadTemplate *templ);
Gets the capabilities of the pad template.
templ : |
a GstPadTemplate to get capabilities of. |
| Returns : | the GstCaps of the pad template. If you need to keep a reference to
the caps, take a ref (see gst_caps_ref()).
|
void user_function (GstPadTemplate *pad_template, GstPad *pad, gpointer user_data);
This signal is fired when an element creates a pad from this template.
pad_template : |
the object which received the signal. |
pad : |
the pad that was created. |
user_data : |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
