bacon_video_widget_new ()

GtkWidget *         bacon_video_widget_new              (int width,
                                                         int height,

                                                         GError **error);

Creates a new BaconVideoWidget for the purpose specified in type.

If type is BVW_USE_TYPE_VIDEO, the BaconVideoWidget will be fully-featured; other values of type will enable less functionality on the widget, which will come with corresponding decreases in the size of its memory footprint.

width and height give the initial or expected video height. Set them to -1 if the video size is unknown. For small videos, BaconVideoWidget will be configured differently.

A BvwError will be returned on error.
