g_main_loop_run question.

[wanting2learn]

Hi I have a program with its own main 'while' loop that must be executed for my program to work.

I wish to add also a  g_main_loop_run (loop) so that I can monitor gstreamer event messages as in :http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/manual/html/chapter-helloworld.html

Is it possible to have two loops running in my program.  I have tried adding the code to let me monitor messages but I can't seem to get it to work. (i.e. I cant seem to get any messages in my bus_call function)

I guess my question is: Can I have a g_main_loop_run as well as my own while loop?  Or will g_main_loop_run block my program?

Thanks

If you already have your own loop running, just periodically check
gst_bus_have_pending () and call gst_bus_pop () to get the message.
Then you don't have to use signals.

Otherwise, use g_main_context_iteration() too see if there is an event
on the gobject main loop:
