Re: a 101 question, how to get an element by name

[Dimitrios Katsaros]

Your question ia a bit vague so I will assume you already have a reference to a pipeline.

What you are looking for is gst_bin_get_by_name, you can see it under the gstbin doc:

I am aware we can use   *gst_object_set_name and gst_object_get_name* when we
have the  object, but what is the reverse, if we have the name how can we
get a reference to the object.

for example if I want to get a position for an element,

gst_element_query_position(element, fmt, &pos);

but we only have the name,how do we create a reference for "element"?

thx
