Description GstElementFactory is used to create instances of elements. A GstElementfactory can be added to a GstPlugin as it is also a GstPluginFeature. Use the gst_element_factory_find() and gst_element_factory_create() functions to create element instances or use gst_element_factory_make() as a convenient shortcut. The following code example shows you how to create a GstFileSrc element. Last reviewed on 2005-11-23 (0.9.5)
