<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello,
<br>
<br>
I have a camera that under linux does not work with V4L2, but it uses a proprietary API.<br>
<br>
I want to wrap that API in a gstreamer plugin, so that I can use the captured frames with all the other gstreamer elements.<br>
<br>
Here are my questions:<br>
<ol>
<li>is there an example of a source that I can study? the GStreamer Plugin Writer's Guide refers to GstBaseSrc, but I am not able to understand chapter 23 well</li><li>what is the difference between finalize and dispose? Which one should I use when I close the pipeline to free my resources?</li><li>if I have an error during the init function, what's the best way to fail?</li><li>In the reference software that I have for my system , there is a loop that gets frames from the hardware. In which function do I have to put this code?<br>
</li></ol>
<div><br>
Thank you for your help,<br>
<br>
