Implemented Interfaces

GstGnomeVFSSink implements GstURIHandler.

Properties

  "handle"                   GnomeVFSHandle*       : Read / Write
  "location"                 gchar*                : Read / Write
  "uri"                      GnomeVFSURI*          : Read / Write

Signals

  "allow-overwrite"                                : Cleanup

Description

This plugin writes incoming data to a local or remote location specified by an URI. This location can be specified using any protocol supported by the GnomeVFS library. Common protocols are 'file', 'ftp', or 'smb'.

Applications can connect to the "allow-overwrite" signal to receive a callback when an existing file will be overwritten. The return value of the signal will determine if gnomevfssink will overwrite the resource or abort with an error.

Example launch lines

gst-launch -v filesrc location=input.xyz ! gnomevfssink location=file:///home/joe/out.xyz
The above pipeline will simply copy a local file. Instead of gnomevfssink, we could just as well have used the filesink element here. 
gst-launch -v filesrc location=foo.mp3 ! mad ! flacenc ! gnomevfssink location=smb://othercomputer/foo.flac
The above pipeline will re-encode an mp3 file into FLAC format and store it on a remote host using the Samba protocol.
