## Description

Objects of this class allow the user to handle the media side of a Telepathy channel handled by TfChannel.

This object is created by the TfChannel and the user is notified of its creation by the “content-added” signal. In the callback for this signal, the user should connect to the “src-pad-added” signal.

## Functions

### tf_content_iterate_src_pads ()

    GstIterator *
    tf_content_iterate_src_pads (TfContent *content,

## Signal Details

### The `“restart-source”` signal

    void
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   gpointer   user_data)

This signal requests that the source be restarted so that the caps can be renegotiated with a new resolutions and framerate.

#### Parameters

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

Flags: Run Last

### The `“src-pad-added”` signal

    void
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   guint      handle,
                   FsStream  *stream,
                   GstPad    *pad,
                   FsCodec   *codec,
                   gpointer   user_data)

This signal is emitted when a data is coming on a new pad. This signal is not emitted on the main thread, so special care must be made to lock the relevant data. When the callback returns from this signal, data will start flowing through the pad, so the application MUST connect a sink.

#### Parameters

content | the TfContent |
handle | the handle of the remote party producing the content on this pad or 0 if unknown |
stream | the FsStream for this pad |
pad | a GstPad |
codec | the FsCodec for this pad |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

### The `“start-receiving”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   gpointer   handles,
                   guint      handle_count,
                   gpointer   user_data)

This signal is emitted when the connection managers requests that the application prepares itself to start receiving data again from certain handles.

This signal will only be emitted after the “stop-receiving” signal has succeeded. It will not be emitted right after “src-pad-added”.

#### Parameters

content | the TfContent |
handles | a 0-terminated array of guint containing the handles |
handle_count | The number of handles in the `handles` array |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the application can start receiving data or `FALSE` otherwise

Flags: Run Last

### The `“start-sending”` signal

    gboolean
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   gpointer   user_data)

This signal is emitted when the connection manager ask to send media. For example, this can be used to open a camera, start recording from a microphone or play back a file. The application should start sending data on the “sink-pad”

#### Parameters

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

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the application can start providing data or `FALSE` otherwise

Flags: Run Last

### The `“stop-receiving”` signal

    void
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   gpointer   handles,

                   gpointer   user_data)

This signal is emitted when the connection manager wants to tell the application that it is now allowed to stop receiving.

#### Parameters

content | the TfContent |
handles | a 0-terminated array of guint containing the handles |
handle_count | The number of handles in the `handles` array |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last

### The `“stop-sending”` signal

    void
    user_function (TfContent *content,
                   gpointer   user_data)
