Allow passing "None" to GstPad.set_caps (862 bytes, patch)
2006-10-20 23:56 UTC, René Stadler 		committed Details | Review

Description René Stadler 2006-10-20 23:54:28 UTC 
From the documentation of gst_pad_set_caps (pad, caps):
"It is possible to set NULL caps, which will make the pad unnegotiated again."

It seems to be impossible to do this from Python:
>>> import pygst; pygst.require ("0.10"); import gst
>>> pad = gst.element_factory_make ("fakesink").get_pad ("sink")
>>> pad.set_caps (None)
Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 77399

  • File "<stdin>", line 1 in ?
TypeError: could not convert to GstCaps 

Attaching a patch that allows for that.
