           Summary: GStreamer Plugin Writer's Guide needs to be updated
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: documentation
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: james.hodapp at gmail.com

There are several ways in which the guide needs to be updated. For example, in
section 3.2 "Using the Project Stamp," there is a line that is inaccurate. "The
last command creates two files: gstexamplefilter.c and gstexamplefilter.h." The
make_element command should produce 2 files called gstmyfilter.c and
gstmyfilter.h.

Another example is section 3.3 "Examining the Basic Code." The code listed is
completely different than what make_element actually produces with the latest
release. The same goes for section 3.4 "GstElementDetails."

Somebody simply needs to go through this guide and update each inaccurate or
out-of-date line. This guide is very important for getting new developers going
with GStreamer. I encountered these bugs while going through this guide for the
company that I work at since I'll be developing some GStreamer elements for our
product.
