Example code

This plugin writes incoming data to a custom GIO GOutputStream.

It can, for example, be used to write a stream to memory with a GMemoryOuputStream or to write to a file with a GFileOuputStream.

The following example writes the received data to a GMemoryOutputStream.

#include <gst/gst.h>
#include <gio/gio.h>

...

GstElement *sink;
GMemoryOuputStream *stream;
// out_data will contain the received data
guint8 *out_data;

...

stream = G_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STREAM (g_memory_output_stream_new (NULL, 0,
          (GReallocFunc) g_realloc, (GDestroyNotify) g_free));
sink = gst_element_factory_make ("giostreamsink", "sink");
g_object_set (G_OBJECT (sink), "stream", stream, NULL);

...

// after processing get the written data
out_data = g_memory_ouput_stream_get_data (G_MEMORY_OUTPUT_STREAM (stream));

...
