<div dir="ltr">A playbin i think will try to use the higher rank plugin (amongst all) for a given processing. i think init for the plugin will be called from playbin but playbin can't change the rank. is this understanding correct? In this case, how can i use "rank changing" to make playbin to select a given plugin? <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 3:36 PM, Tim-Philipp Müller <<a href="mailto:t.i.m@zen.co.uk">t.i.m@zen.co.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Thu, 2008-08-28 at 14:56 +0530, Sachin Pandhare wrote: > is there any method by which i can prioritize plugins? > e.g. there are X, Y, Z plugins. and i want my playbin to use Y rather > than other 2. > > Can i use gst_plugin_feature_set_rank for this? </div>Yes. (Or pass the rank you want to gst_element_register in your plugin's plugin_init function). > will it work properly? It should if your plugin behaves as expected. <div class="Ih2E3d"> > as i read from the manual i can set any value apart from > GST_RANK_NONE, GST_RANK_MARGINAL, GST_RANK_SECONDARY, > GST_RANK_PRIMARY ? </div>Yes, you may use e.g. GST_RANK_SECONDARY+5 or GST_RANK_PRIMARY*2 if you want, it's just a number. Decoders/demuxers neeed to have at least a rank of MARGINAL though to be used by playbin/decodebin.
