Base.typeFindHelperGetRange

Utility function to do pull-based typefinding. Unlike gst_type_find_helper() however, this function will use the specified function @func to obtain the data needed by the typefind functions, rather than operating on a given source pad. This is useful mostly for elements like tag demuxers which strip off data at the beginning and/or end of a file and want to typefind the stripped data stream before adding their own source pad (the specified callback can then call the upstream peer pad with offsets adjusted for the tag size, for example).

When @extension is not %NULL, this function will first try the typefind functions for the given extension, which might speed up the typefinding in many cases.

Parameters

obj ObjectGst

A #GstObject that will be passed as first argument to @func

parent ObjectGst

the parent of @obj or %NULL

func GstTypeFindHelperGetRangeFunction

A generic #GstTypeFindHelperGetRangeFunction that will be used to access data at random offsets when doing the typefinding

size ulong

The length in bytes

extension string

extension of the media, or %NULL

prob GstTypeFindProbability

location to store the probability of the found caps, or %NULL

Return Value

Type: Caps

the #GstCaps corresponding to the data stream. Returns %NULL if no #GstCaps matches the data stream.
