## Types and Values

### struct GstStreamCollection

    struct GstStreamCollection {
    };

A collection of GstStream that are available.

A GstStreamCollection will be provided by elements that can make those streams available. Applications can use the collection to show the user what streams are available by using `gst_stream_collection_get_stream`()

Once posted, a GstStreamCollection is immutable. Updates are made by sending a new GstStreamCollection message, which may or may not share some of the GstStream objects from the collection it replaces. The receiver can check the sender of a stream collection message to know which collection is obsoleted.

Several elements in a pipeline can provide GstStreamCollection.

Applications can activate streams from a collection by using the GST_EVENT_SELECT_STREAMS event on a pipeline, bin or element.

Since: 1.10

### struct GstStreamCollectionClass

    struct GstStreamCollectionClass {
      GstObjectClass parent_class;

      /* signals */
      void  (*stream_notify)      (GstStreamCollection *collection, GstStream *stream, GParamSpec * pspec);
    };

GstStreamCollection class structure

#### Members

`stream_notify` () | default signal handler for the stream-notify signal |
