[ADM] documentation improvements
Last modified: 2009-09-09 16:53:10 UTC
Documentation Section: nothing Correct version: I think it has to be more examples in the developer's manual in order to meet the framework in a more widely way. In addition, there're some important calling that are not explained Other information:

It's just an introduction, it's hard to explain everything in there (we'd need a GStreamer book for that) :)

Any particular examples you think are missing? -- For instance, how to use the parser, as I think it's a strong part of the framework. -- Buffer issues -- file handling (I'm trying to develop some photo capture stuff, but I can't figure out how to do that smartly) > In addition, there're some important calling that are not explained Could you be more precise? What is missing or not explained exactly? It's just an introduction, it's hard to explain everything in there (we'd need a GStreamer book for that) :) -- That would be nice. I'll buy it (seriously)
As the question from comment #1 has been answered, I'm reopening.
If you men the gst-launch parser. The syntax is explained in the gst-launch man-page. The API use is imho quite clear. What do you mean with "buffer issues"? Files are just a source or destination for streams. There are multimple elements to deal with them, lie filesrc/sink, fdsrc/sink, multifilesrc/sink, ... Regarding photo capture stuff, have a look at the camerabin element that just landed in gst-plugin-bad (git). We would need more concrete pointers whats missing in the manual, preferably pointers to the chapters even.
Closing as no additional information was provided
