## Known Derived Interfaces

RygelMediaContainer is required by RygelSearchableContainer, RygelTrackableContainer and RygelWritableContainer.

## Description

It provides a basic serialization implementation (to DIDLLiteWriter).

A derived class should provide a working implementation of get_children and should emit the container_updated signal.

When used as a root container, you may wish to use the variables, such as REALNAME, in in the title. See the title property of the RygelMediaObject.

If the container should support UPnP search operations then you also implement the RygelSearchableContainer interface.

If the container should be writable, meaning that it allows adding (via upload), removal and editing of items then you should also implement the RygelWritableContainer interface.

If the container should support the change tracking profile of the UPnP ContentDirectory:3 specification then you should also implement the RygelTrackableContainer interface.

The RygelSimpleContainer class contains a simple memory-based container implementation, but most real-world uses will require custom container implementations.

## Functions

### rygel_media_container_updated ()

    void
    rygel_media_container_updated (RygelMediaContainer *self,
                                   RygelMediaObject *object,
                                   RygelObjectEventType event_type,
                                   gboolean sub_tree_update);

This method should be called each time this container is updated.

For instance, this should be called if there are metadata changes for this container, if items under it are removed or added, if there are metadata changes to items under it, etc.

If sub_tree_update is true then the caller should later emit the sub_tree_updates_finished signal on the root container of the sub-tree that was updated.

It will eventually result in the server emitting a UPnP LastChange event, though that may be for a batch of these calls.

See the “container_updated” signal.

#### Parameters

self | the RygelMediaContainer instance |
object | . The object that has changed, or null to mean the container itself. | [in][allow-none]
event_type | . This describes what actually happened to the object. | [in]
sub_tree_update | . Whether the modification is part of a sub-tree update. | [in]

### The `“container-updated”` signal

    void
    user_function (RygelMediaContainer *media_container,
                   RygelMediaContainer *container,
                   RygelMediaObject    *object,

The container_updated signal is emitted if a child container under the tree of this container has been updated. The object parameter is set to the MediaObject that is the source of the container update. Note that it may even be set to the container itself.

See also: `rygel_media_container_updated()`.

#### Parameters

media_container | the RygelMediaContainer instance that received the signal |
container | . The child container that has been updated. |
object | . The object that has changed. This may be the container itself, or a child item. |
event_type | . This describes what actually happened to the object. |
sub_tree_update | . Whether the modification is part of a sub-tree update. See the “sub_tree_updates_finished” signal. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last
