## Signal Details

### The `“autoplug-continue”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *bin,
                   GstPad          *pad,
                   GstCaps         *caps,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal is emitted whenever uridecodebin finds a new stream. It is emitted before looking for any elements that can handle that stream.

Invocation of signal handlers stops after the first signal handler returns FALSE. Signal handlers are invoked in the order they were connected in.

#### Parameters

bin | The uridecodebin. |
pad | The GstPad. |
caps | The GstCaps found. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

TRUE if you wish uridecodebin to look for elements that can handle the given `caps` . If FALSE, those caps will be considered as final and the pad will be exposed as such (see 'pad-added' signal of GstElement).

Flags: Run Last

### The `“autoplug-factories”` signal

    GValueArray*
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *bin,
                   GstPad          *pad,
                   GstCaps         *caps,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This function is emitted when an array of possible factories for `caps` on `pad` is needed. Uridecodebin will by default return an array with all compatible factories, sorted by rank.

If this function returns NULL, `pad` will be exposed as a final caps.

If this function returns an empty array, the pad will be considered as having an unhandled type media type.

Only the signal handler that is connected first will ever by invoked. Don't connect signal handlers with the G_CONNECT_AFTER flag to this signal, they will never be invoked!

#### Parameters

bin | The uridecodebin. |
pad | The GstPad. |
caps | The GstCaps found. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

a GValueArray* with a list of factories to try. The factories are by default tried in the returned order or based on the index returned by "autoplug-select".

Flags: Run Last

### The `“autoplug-query”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *gsturidecodebin,
                   GstPad          *arg1,
                   GstElement      *arg2,
                   GstQuery        *arg3,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Flags: Run Last

### The `“autoplug-select”` signal

    GstAutoplugSelectResult
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin   *bin,
                   GstPad            *pad,
                   GstCaps           *caps,
                   GstElementFactory *factory,
                   gpointer           user_data)

This signal is emitted once uridecodebin has found all the possible GstElementFactory that can be used to handle the given `caps` . For each of those factories, this signal is emitted.

The signal handler should return a GST_TYPE_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_RESULT enum value indicating what decodebin should do next.

A value of GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY will try to autoplug an element from `factory` .

A value of GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_EXPOSE will expose `pad` without plugging any element to it.

A value of GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_SKIP will skip `factory` and move to the next factory.

The signal handler will not be invoked if any of the previously registered signal handlers (if any) return a value other than GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY. Which also means that if you return GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY from one signal handler, handlers that get registered next (again, if any) can override that decision.

#### Parameters

bin | The uridecodebin. |
pad | The GstPad. |
caps | The GstCaps. |
factory | A GstElementFactory to use. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

a GST_TYPE_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_RESULT that indicates the required operation. The default handler will always return GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY.

Flags: Run Last

### The `“autoplug-sort”` signal

    GValueArray*
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *bin,
                   GstPad          *pad,
                   GstCaps         *caps,
                   GValueArray     *factories,
                   gpointer         user_data)

Once decodebin has found the possible GstElementFactory objects to try for `caps` on `pad` , this signal is emited. The purpose of the signal is for the application to perform additional sorting or filtering on the element factory array.

The callee should copy and modify `factories` or return NULL if the order should not change.

Invocation of signal handlers stops after one signal handler has returned something else than NULL. Signal handlers are invoked in the order they were connected in. Don't connect signal handlers with the G_CONNECT_AFTER flag to this signal, they will never be invoked!

#### Parameters

bin | The uridecodebin. |
pad | The GstPad. |
caps | The GstCaps. |
factories | A GValueArray of possible GstElementFactory to use. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

A new sorted array of GstElementFactory objects.

### The `“drained”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *arg0,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal is emitted when the data for the current uri is played.

#### Parameters

user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

### The `“source-setup”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *bin,
                   GstElement      *source,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal is emitted after the source element has been created, so it can be configured by setting additional properties (e.g. set a proxy server for an http source, or set the device and read speed for an audio cd source). This is functionally equivalent to connecting to the notify::source signal, but more convenient.

#### Parameters

bin | the uridecodebin. |
source | source element |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

Since: 0.10.33

### The `“unknown-type”` signal

    void
    user_function (GstURIDecodeBin *bin,
                   GstPad          *pad,
                   GstCaps         *caps,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal is emitted when a pad for which there is no further possible decoding is added to the uridecodebin.

#### Parameters

bin | The uridecodebin. |
pad | the new pad containing caps that cannot be resolved to a 'final'. stream type. |
caps | the GstCaps of the pad that cannot be resolved. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
