okay, I received some help from the IRC channel (thanks!) and here is what I found:
To create the appsink object, you need to use the element factory and cast it like this: // not this.sink = AppSink() like you would think. this.sink = (AppSink)ElementFactory.make ("appsink", "sink"); then, you can set the signals like so: this.sink.new_preroll.connect(this.new_preroll); this.sink.new_buffer.connect(this.new_buf_cb); my problem now is how to deal with Gst.Buffers. Sorry if my questions are elementary. I'm trying to learn vala, glib, gst all at once. In my signal callback for new_buffer, I do this: private void new_buf_cb( ) { print("new buffer.\n"); //Gst.Buffer.replace(ref buffer,this.sink.pull_buffer() ); buffer = this.sink.pull_buffer(); this.queue_draw(); } Can someone tell my why the app crashes when trying to assign the pull_buffer() to my Buffer buffer? I also tried to call replace on the buffer, but it won't compile.
