Description Robert Swain 2014-06-24 14:42:37 UTC 
I would have expected gst_caps_new_simple("video/x-raw(memory:GLMemory)") to work, but it hits a structure name validation assertion. This could be a feature request if you think it is a reasonable expectation. :)
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2014-06-24 14:50:47 UTC 
I think this is the right behaviour actually..
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2014-06-24 15:14:39 UTC 
Maybe a gst_caps_new_not_so_simple(structure_name, capsfeatures, ...)?
Comment 3 Luis de Bethencourt 2014-10-06 15:37:28 UTC 
So what is the consensus? Right behaviour or funny sounding new function? :)

Just wondering in case there is work to be done or if the bug should be closed.
Comment 4 Olivier Crête 2014-10-06 17:39:11 UTC 
maybe should be:

gst_caps_new_simple_with_features("video/x-raw", "feature1", "feature", NULL, "prop1", G_TYPE_X, "value1", "prop2", G_TYPE_Y", "value2", NULL);

Although this is clearly not bindable. So for a simple bindable API, these are possible:

gst_caps_add_features_simple (GstCaps *caps, guint index, const gchar *feature_name);
which adds another item to the features of the specified structure
gst_caps_set_features_simple (GstCaps *caps, guint index, const gchar *feature_name);
which just re-set the GstCapsFeature object.
Comment 5 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-04-17 17:27:19 UTC 
Do we really need a new function? No one seems bothered enough to come up with patches and tess, so until then perhaps we should just close this as NOTABUG?
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-05-22 17:45:17 UTC 
Please feel free to re-open with patches, if anyone is interested enough :)
