I don't really see the point of this convenience function. It doesn't really do any heavy lifting at all, and the little that it does isn't really entirely right. In order to meaningfully interact with a returned playbin element you still need to know a lot of GStreamer stuff anyway (how to use the bus, handle messages, state changes, buffering, querying, etc.). I think it makes a lot more sense to put something like this in a separate helper library that then also includes a GtkWidget or QtWidget or whatever, because getting the xoverlay stuff right is the really hard part IMHO, and handling for that can't be in the core. Very few applications that want to play video will be fine with having the video play in a randomly-placed newly-created X window that just pops up somewhere on your desktop and that the application has no control over. Creating a playbin element and setting an URI on it is unlikely to pose a problem for most developers IMHO. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 424157 *** -- See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=email.html for more info about why you received this email, why you can't respond via email, how to stop receiving emails (or reduce the number you receive), and how to contact someone if you are having problems with the system.
