Detailed Description

Gst::TagSetterGst::Element interface that allows setting and retrieval of media metadata.

Elements that support changing a stream's metadata will implement this interface. Examples of such elements are 'vorbisenc', 'theoraenc' and 'id3v2mux'.

If you just want to retrieve metadata in your application then all you need to do is watch for tag messages on your pipeline's bus. This interface is only for setting metadata, not for extracting it. To set tags from the application, find tagsetter elements and set tags using e.g. merge_tags() or add_tags(). The application should do that before the element goes to Gst::STATE_PAUSED.

static void Gst::TagSetter::add_interface ( GType  gtype_implementer  )  [static]

void Gst::TagSetter::add_tag ( const Glib::ustring &  tag,
const char *  data,
TagMergeMode  mode = TAG_MERGE_PREPEND 
)

Adds the given value on the setter using the given merge mode.

Parameters:
tag The tag to set.
data The value to set the tag to.
mode The mode to use.

template <class DataType >
void Gst::TagSetter::add_tag ( const Glib::ustring &  tag,
const DataType &  data,
TagMergeMode  mode = TAG_MERGE_PREPEND 
) [inline]

Adds the given value on the setter using the given merge mode.

Parameters:
tag The tag to set.
data The value to set the tag to (this may be any supported C++ type).
mode The mode to use.

void Gst::TagSetter::add_tag ( const Glib::ustring &  tag,
const Glib::ValueBase &  value,
TagMergeMode  mode = TAG_MERGE_PREPEND 
)

Adds the given Glib::ValueBase on the setter using the given merge mode.

Parameters:
tag The tag to set.
value The value to set the tag to.
mode The mode to use.

Gst::TagList Gst::TagSetter::get_tag_list (  ) 

Returns: a current snapshot of the taglist used in the setter.

Returns:
A current snapshot of the taglist used in the setter or 0 if none is used.

const GstTagSetter* Gst::TagSetter::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GstTagSetter* Gst::TagSetter::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

void Gst::TagSetter::merge_tags ( const Gst::TagList list,
TagMergeMode  mode = TAG_MERGE_PREPEND 
)

Merges the given list into the setter's list using the given mode.

Parameters:
list A tag list to merge from.
mode The mode to merge with.

TagMergeMode Gst::TagSetter::qet_tag_merge_mode (  ) 

Queries the mode by which tags inside the setter are overwritten by tags from events.

Returns:
The merge mode used inside the element.

void Gst::TagSetter::set_tag_merge_mode ( TagMergeMode  mode  ) 

Sets the given merge mode that is used for adding tags from events to tags specified by this interface.

The default is Gst::TAG_MERGE_KEEP, which keeps the tags set with this interface and discards tags from events.

Parameters:
mode The mode with which tags are added.
