Enumeration (GI Enum)

Gst-1.0GstTagMergeMode

The different tag merging modes are basically replace, overwrite and append, but they can be seen from two directions. Given two taglists: (A) the tags already in the element and (B) the ones that are supplied to the element ( e.g. via gst_tag_setter_merge_tags() / gst_tag_setter_add_tags() or a Gst.EventType.TAG), how are these tags merged? In the table below this is shown for the cases that a tag exists in the list (A) or does not exists (!A) and combinations thereof.

merge mode A + B A + !B !A + B !A + !B
REPLACE_ALL B ø B ø
REPLACE B A B ø
APPEND A, B A B ø
PREPEND B, A A B ø
KEEP A A B ø
KEEP_ALL A A ø ø
