## Functions

### gst_mpegts_find_descriptor ()

    const GstMpegtsDescriptor *
    gst_mpegts_find_descriptor (GPtrArray *descriptors,
                                guint8 tag);

Finds the first descriptor of type `tag` in the array.

Note: To look for descriptors that can be present more than once in an array of descriptors, iterate the GArray manually.

#### Parameters

descriptors | an array of GstMpegtsDescriptor. | [element-type GstMpegtsDescriptor][transfer none]
tag | the tag to look for |

#### Returns

the first descriptor matchin `tag` , else `NULL`.

[transfer none]

### gst_mpegts_parse_descriptors ()

    GPtrArray *
    gst_mpegts_parse_descriptors (guint8 *buffer,
                                  gsize buf_len);

Parses the descriptors present in `buffer` and returns them as an array.

Note: The data provided in `buffer` will not be copied.

#### Parameters

buffer | descriptors to parse. | [transfer none]
buf_len | Size of `buffer` |

#### Returns

an array of the parsed descriptors or `NULL` if there was an error. Release with g_array_unref when done with it.

[transfer full][element-type GstMpegtsDescriptor]

### gst_mpegts_descriptor_from_custom ()

    GstMpegtsDescriptor *
    gst_mpegts_descriptor_from_custom (guint8 tag,

                                       gsize length);

                                    gsize additional_info_length);

Creates a `GST_MTS_DESC_REGISTRATION` GstMpegtsDescriptor

Return: GstMpegtsDescriptor, `NULL` on failure

#### Parameters
