GStreamer学习笔记（三）——基础教程2：GStreamer概念

原文：Basic tutorial 2: GStreamer concepts

目标

前一个教程展示了怎么自动构建一个pipeline。现在我们通过实例化每一个element，然后把他们链接到一起来手动创建一个pipeline。这个过程中，我们会学到：

• 什么是element，怎么创建一个element
• 怎么连接elements
• 怎么定制一个element的行为
• 如何观察总线（bus）的错误情况，并从消息（message）中解析信息

手动的“Hello World”

#include <gst/gst.h>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GstElement *pipeline, *source, *sink;
  GstBus *bus;
  GstMessage *msg;
  GstStateChangeReturn ret;

  /* Initialize GStreamer */
  gst_init (&argc, &argv);

  /* Create the elements */
  source = gst_element_factory_make ("videotestsrc", "source");
  sink = gst_element_factory_make ("autovideosink", "sink");

  /* Create the empty pipeline */
  pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ("test-pipeline");

  if (!pipeline || !source || !sink) {
    g_printerr ("Not all elements could be created.\n");
    return -1;
  }

  /* Build the pipeline */
  gst_bin_add_many (GST_BIN (pipeline), source, sink, NULL);
  if (gst_element_link (source, sink) != TRUE) {
    g_printerr ("Elements could not be linked.\n");
    gst_object_unref (pipeline);
    return -1;
  }

  /* Modify the source's properties */
  g_object_set (source, "pattern", 0, NULL);

  /* Start playing */
  ret = gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
