Implemented Interfaces
GstGioSink implements
GstURIHandler.
Properties
"location" gchar* : Read / Write
"file" GFile* : Read / Write
Description
This plugin writes incoming data to a local or remote location specified
by an URI. This location can be specified using any protocol supported by
the GIO library or it's VFS backends. Common protocols are 'file', 'ftp',
or 'smb'.
If the URI or GFile already exists giosink will post a message of
type GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT
with name "file-exists" on the bus. The message
also contains the GFile and the corresponding URI.
Applications can use the "file-exists" message to notify the user about
the problem and to set a different target location or to remove the
existing file. Note that right after the "file-exists" message a normal
error message is posted on the bus which should be ignored if "file-exists"
is handled by the application, for example by calling
gst_bus_set_flushing(bus, TRUE) after the "file-exists" message was
received and gst_bus_set_flushing(bus, FALSE) after the problem is
resolved.
Similar to the "file-exist" message a "not-mounted" message is posted
on the bus if the target location is not mounted yet and needs to be
mounted. This message can be used by application to mount the location
and retry after the location was mounted successfully.
Example pipelines
The above pipeline will simply copy a local file. Instead of giosink,
we could just as well have used the filesink element here.
The above pipeline will re-encode an mp3 file into FLAC format and store
it on a remote host using the Samba protocol.
The above pipeline will encode a 440Hz sine wave to Ogg Vorbis and stores
it in the home directory of user foo.
