<div dir="ltr">Hi, I dont know exaclty if exists a "isPlayable" method, but I know that is possible to browse all the available plugins using the GSTRegistry, them, check all available mimetypes. You can save this mimetypes and compare with your uri. Look at the GMediaRenderer project, it checks the mimetypes in the initialization of the application. After you have a list of the supported mimetypes, you can use a typefind in you URI and compare with your list. Something like you run the gst-inspect and the gst-typefind in the file, and compare the results.

Sort of like a gst_test_pipeline function?   Thanks! <hr>Making the world a better place one message at a time. <a href="http://www.imtalkathon.com/?source=EML_WLH_Talkathon_BetterPlace" target="_blank">Check out the i'm Talkathon.</a></div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world <a href="http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/" target="_blank">http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/</a> _______________________________________________ gstreamer-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:gstreamer-devel@lists.sourceforge.net">gstreamer-devel@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gstreamer-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- Danilo Freire Laboratório de Sistemas Embarcados e Computação Pervasiva Centro de Engenharia Elétrica e Informática - CEEI Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG </div>
