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 6. 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;
}
struct GstStaticPadTemplate {
gchar *name_template;
GstPadDirection direction;
GstPadPresence presence;
GstStaticCaps static_caps;
};

Get a handle to the padtemplate GstCaps

Check if the properties of the padtemplate are fixed

Flags for the padtemplate
| GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_FIXED | The padtemplate has no variable properties |
| GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_FLAG_LAST | first flag that can be used by subclasses. |
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. |
const 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, make a copy (see gst_caps_copy()). |
const GstCaps* gst_pad_template_get_caps_by_name (GstPadTemplate *templ, const gchar *name);
Gets the capability with the given name from templ.
| templ : | a GstPadTemplate to get the capabilities of. |
| name : | the name of the capability to get. |
| Returns : | the GstCaps of this pad template, or NULL if not found. If you intend to keep a reference on the caps, make a copy (see gst_caps_copy()). |
void user_function (GstPadTemplate *gstpadtemplate, GstPad *arg1, gpointer user_data);
This signal is fired when an element creates a pad from this template.
| gstpadtemplate : | the object which received the signal. |
| arg1 : | The pad that was created. |
| user_data : | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
