  GStreamer | gst-sharp | Ver: git
           Summary: Some elements have redundant api, e.g. GstBaseSink
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-sharp
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Some elements, like Gst.Base.BaseSink have multiple ways of setting/getting
properties.

For example there is the Qos property and the IsQosEnabled and SetQosEnabled
methods. I propose to remove the methods and keep the property by adding the
following lines to Gstreamer.metadata:

+  <attr
path="/api/namespace/object[@cname='GstBaseSink']/method[@cname='gst_base_sink_is_qos_enabled']"
name="hidden">1</attr>
+  <attr
path="/api/namespace/object[@cname='GstBaseSink']/method[@cname='gst_base_sink_set_qos_enabled']"
name="hidden">1</attr>

Somewhat similarly, on Gst.Base.BaseSrc there is a writeonly Live property and
a readonly IsLive property. I propose to merge them with the following addition
to Gstreamer.metadata:

+  <attr
path="/api/namespace/object[@cname='GstBaseSrc']/method[@name='IsLive']"
name="name">GetLive</attr>

If you agree with these proposals, I can make a patch for all similar cases in
gstreamer-sharp.
