Implementing Renderers: Full Example: librygel-renderer Reference Manual

## Implementing Renderers: Full Example

The external rygel-gst-0-10-fullscreen-renderer project provides a Rygel Renderer executable that uses an older GStreamer version and is an example of an external Rygel Renderer implemented in C, based on the implementation code in librygel-renderer-gst. It plays content via UPnP.

The `RygelPlaybinPlayer` class implements the RygelMediaPlayer interface, providing implementations for its virtual functions. For instance, see the `rygel_playbin_player_real_set_uri()` function, which delegates to the member `GstPlaybin` `GstElement`. The base class responds appropriately to UPnP messages, calling these virtual functions to request the specific behaviour.

The `RygelPlaybinRenderer` class, derived from RygelMediaRenderer, provides the singleton instance of that player to its base class and has a `rygel_playbin_renderer_get_playbin()` function for convenience.

Our `main()` instantiates our derived renderer and calls `rygel_playbin_renderer_get_playbin()` to get its GStreamer playbin element. We then use `gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle()` in our `GtkWidget:realize` signal handler. We connect the renderer to a network interface via `rygel_media_device_add_interface`, allowing the renderer to respond to UPnP messages.
