[gst-devel] videosink plugin: how to ?

[Benjamin Otte]

I once wrote such a widget, but didn't really make something out of it.
It's located in GStreamers cvs in the gst-sandbox module. (web link to
the code:
http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gstreamer/gst-sandbox/libgstui/
- the actual widget code is in libs/gstui/ )
It's not documented again, but there are tests using it. Maybe that code
helps.
