## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

EAPI Evas_Object* emotion_object_add | ( | Evas * | evas | ) |

Add an emotion object to the canvas.

Parameters

  evas | The canvas where the object will be added to.

Returns
  The emotion object just created.

This function creates an emotion object and adds it to the specified `evas`. The returned object can be manipulated as any other Evas object, using the default object manipulation functions - evas_object_*.

After creating the object with this function, it's still necessary to initialize it with emotion_object_init(), and if an audio file is going to be played with this object instead of a video, use emotion_object_video_mute_set().

The next step is to open the desired file with emotion_object_file_set(), and start playing it with emotion_object_play_set().

EAPI Eina_Bool emotion_object_file_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | filename
| ) |  |

Set the file to be played in the Emotion object.

Parameters

  obj | The emotion object where the file is being loaded.
  filename | Path to the file to be loaded. It can be absolute or relative path.

Returns
  EINA_TRUE if the new file could be loaded successfully, and EINA_FALSE if the file could not be loaded. This happens when the filename is could not be found, when the module couldn't open the file, when no module is initialized in this object, or when the `filename` is the same as the one previously set.

This function sets the file to be used with this emotion object. If the object already has another file set, this file will be unset and unloaded, and the new file will be loaded to this emotion object. The seek position will be set to 0, and the emotion object will be paused, instead of playing.

If there was already a filename set, and it's the same as the one being set now, this function does nothing and returns EINA_FALSE.

Use `NULL` as argument to `filename` if you want to unload the current file but don't want to load anything else.

EAPI const char* emotion_object_file_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Get the filename of the file associated with the emotion object.

Parameters

  obj | The emotion object from which the filename will be retrieved.

Returns
  The path to the file loaded into this emotion object.

This function returns the path of the file loaded in this emotion object. If no object is loaded, it will return `NULL`.

Note
  Don't free or change the string returned by this function in any way. If you want to unset it, use `emotion_object_file_set(obj, NULL)`.
