Description

This plugin reads data from 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', 'http', 'ftp', or 'smb'.

In case the "iradio-mode" property is set and the location is a http resource, gnomevfssrc will send special icecast http headers to the server to request additional icecast metainformation. If the server is not an icecast server, it will display the same behaviour as if the "iradio-mode" property was not set. However, if the server is in fact an icecast server, gnomevfssrc will output data with a media type of application/x-icy, in which case you will need to use the GstICYDemux element as follow-up element to extract the icecast meta data and to determine the underlying media type.

Example launch lines

gst-launch -v gnomevfssrc location=file:///home/joe/foo.xyz ! fakesink
The above pipeline will simply read a local file and do nothing with the data read. Instead of gnomevfssrc, we could just as well have used the filesrc element here. 
gst-launch -v gnomevfssrc location=smb://othercomputer/foo.xyz ! filesink location=/home/joe/foo.xyz
The above pipeline will copy a file from a remote host to the local file system using the Samba protocol. 
gst-launch -v gnomevfssrc location=http://music.foobar.com/demo.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink
The above pipeline will read and decode and play an mp3 file from a web server using the http protocol.
