## Functions

### RYGEL_TYPE_MEDIA_SERVER_PLUGIN

    #define RYGEL_TYPE_MEDIA_SERVER_PLUGIN (rygel_media_server_plugin_get_type ())

The type for RygelMediaServerPlugin.

### rygel_media_server_plugin_get_root_container ()

    RygelMediaContainer *
    rygel_media_server_plugin_get_root_container
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self);

Get and return the current value of the "root-container" property.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to query |

#### Returns

the value of the "root-container" property

### rygel_media_server_plugin_get_search_caps ()

    const gchar *
    rygel_media_server_plugin_get_search_caps
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self);

Get and return the current value of the "search-caps" property.

The SearchCapabilities this MediaServer plugin supports.

Implementations can override this to match their capabilities. If they do, they should take care to include the change tracking capabilities (upnp:objectUpdateID, upnp:containerUpdateID) based on PluginCapabilities.TRACK_CHANGES.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to query |

#### Returns

the value of the "search-caps" property

### rygel_media_server_plugin_get_upload_profiles ()

    GList *
    rygel_media_server_plugin_get_upload_profiles
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self);

Get and return the current value of the "upload-profiles" property.

The list of DLNA profiles the MediaServer in this plugin will accept files as upload.

Can be a subset of :supported_profiles. If set to `NULL`, it will be reset to :supported_profiles.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to query |

#### Returns

the value of the "upload-profiles" property

### rygel_media_server_plugin_set_upload_profiles ()

    void
    rygel_media_server_plugin_set_upload_profiles
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self,
                                    GList *value);

Set the value of the "upload-profiles" property to `value` .

The list of DLNA profiles the MediaServer in this plugin will accept files as upload.

Can be a subset of :supported_profiles. If set to `NULL`, it will be reset to :supported_profiles.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to modify |
value | the new value of the "upload-profiles" property |

### rygel_media_server_plugin_get_supported_profiles ()

    GList *
    rygel_media_server_plugin_get_supported_profiles
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self);

Get and return the current value of the "supported-profiles" property.

The list of DLNA profiles the MediaServer in this plugin will be able to serve.

If it does not accept all formats it can serve for uploading, :upload_profiles needs to be set to the supported subset.

By default it will be the supported profiles of the RygelMediaEngine.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to query |

#### Returns

the value of the "supported-profiles" property

### rygel_media_server_plugin_set_supported_profiles ()

    void
    rygel_media_server_plugin_set_supported_profiles
                                   (RygelMediaServerPlugin *self,
                                    GList *value);

Set the value of the "supported-profiles" property to `value` .

The list of DLNA profiles the MediaServer in this plugin will be able to serve.

If it does not accept all formats it can serve for uploading, :upload_profiles needs to be set to the supported subset.

By default it will be the supported profiles of the RygelMediaEngine.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaServerPlugin instance to modify |
value | the new value of the "supported-profiles" property |
