## Detailed Description

The GStreamer resource GError type.

GStreamer elements can throw non-fatal warnings and fatal errors. Higher-level elements and applications can programatically filter the ones they are interested in or can recover from, and have a default handler handle the rest of them. Both warnings and fatal errors are treated similarly.

Resource errors are for any resource used by an element: memory, files, network connections, process space, ... They're typically used by source and sink elements.

- FAILED - a general error which doesn't fit in any other category. Make sure you add a custom message to the error call.
- TOO_LAZY - do not use this except as a placeholder for deciding where to go while developing code.
- NOT_FOUND - used when the resource could not be found.
- BUSY - used when resource is busy.
- OPEN_READ - used when resource fails to open for reading.
- OPEN_WRITE - used when resource fails to open for writing.
- OPEN_READ_WRITE - used when resource cannot be opened for both reading and writing, or either (but unspecified which).
- CLOSE - used when the resource can't be closed.
- READ - used when the resource can't be read from.
- WRITE - used when the resource can't be written to.
- SEEK - used when a seek on the resource fails.
- SYNC - used when a synchronize on the resource fails.
- SETTINGS - used when settings can't be manipulated on.
- NO_SPACE_LEFT - used when the resource has no space left.
- NUM_ERRORS - the number of resource error types.

Elements do not have the context required to decide what to do with errors. As such, they should only inform about errors, and stop their processing. In short, an element doesn't know what it is being used for.

It is the application or compound element using the given element that has more context about the use of the element. Errors can be received by listening to the Gst::Bus of the element/pipeline for Gst::Message objects with the type Gst::MESSAGE_ERROR or Gst::MESSAGE_WARNING. The thrown errors should be inspected, and filtered if appropriate.

An application is expected to, by default, present the user with a dialog box (or an equivalent) showing the error message. The dialog should also allow a way to get at the additional debug information, so the user can provide bug reporting information.

A compound element is expected to forward errors by default higher up the hierarchy; this is done by default in the same way as for other types of Gst::Message.

When applications or compound elements trigger errors that they can recover from, they can filter out these errors and take appropriate action. For example, an application that gets an error from xvimagesink that indicates all XVideo ports are taken, the application can attempt to use another sink instead.
