Determines if intersecting two values will produce a valid result. Two values will produce a valid intersection if they have the same type, or if there is a method (registered by gst_value_register_intersection_func()) to calculate the intersection.

gst_value_register_intersect_func ()

void        gst_value_register_intersect_func
                                            (GType type1,
                                             GType type2,
                                             GstValueIntersectFunc func);

Registers a function that is called to calculate the intersection of the values having the types type1 and type2.

Intersect functions should be registered at startup before any pipelines are started, as gst_value_register_intersect_func() is not thread-safe and cannot be used at the same time as gst_value_intersect() or gst_value_can_intersect().

gst_value_array_append_value ()

void        gst_value_array_append_value    (GValue *value,
                                             const GValue *append_value);

Appends append_value to the GstValueArray in value.

gst_value_array_get_size ()

guint       gst_value_array_get_size        (const GValue *value);

Gets the number of values contained in value.

gst_value_array_get_value ()

const GValue* gst_value_array_get_value     (const GValue *value,
                                             guint index);

Gets the value that is a member of the array contained in value and has the index index.

gst_value_array_prepend_value ()

void        gst_value_array_prepend_value   (GValue *value,
                                             const GValue *prepend_value);

Prepends prepend_value to the GstValueArray in value.
