Description albx 2006-05-20 16:28:00 UTC 
(1) in http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/section-dynamic.html

replace 
  factories = gst_registry_pool_feature_filter (
      (GstPluginFeatureFilter) cb_feature_filter, FALSE, NULL);

with something like
  factories = gst_registry_feature_filter ( gst_registry_get_default(),
      (GstPluginFeatureFilter) cb_feature_filter, FALSE, NULL);

and replace
    gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (pipeline), sinkelement);

with smth like
    gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (gst_pad_get_parent (srcpad)), sinkelement);

(at least, this way it compiles, but segfaults after detecting correct media type)

thank

Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-05-25 08:30:14 UTC 
There's quite a bit that needs fixing in this example. Would be nice if we could just replace a whole chunk of code there with gst_element_factory_can_sink_caps() as well, alas: it doesn't work right (e.g. won't match audio/mpeg,mpegversion=1,layer=2 to mad's template caps because those contain additional rate/channel parameters).


Not entirely sure what the point of the entire chapter is anyway (too advanced and specialized IMHO).
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2011-03-01 21:24:44 UTC 
The section tried to explain how to handle sometimes pads and plug a suitable element. I agree it is quite special. Shall we just remove the chapter? Or focus on registry look-ups (the first example).

"Fixed" :)
