## Details

### struct GstMpegTsDescriptor

    struct GstMpegTsDescriptor {
      guint8 tag;
      guint8 tag_extension;
      guint8 length;
      const guint8 *data;
    };

Mpeg-TS descriptor (ISO/IEC 13818-1).

guint8 `tag`; | the type of descriptor
guint8 `tag_extension`; | the extended type (if `descriptor_tag` is 0x7f)
guint8 `length`; | the length of the descriptor content (excluding tag/length field)
const guint8 *`data`; | the full descriptor data (including tag, extension, length). The first two bytes are the `tag` and `tag_extension`.

Finds the first descriptor of type `tag` in the array.

Note: To look for descriptors that can be present more than once in an array of descriptors, iterate the GArray manually.

`descriptors` : | an array of GstMpegTsDescriptor. [element-type GstMpegTsDescriptor][transfer none]
`tag` : | the tag to look for
Returns : | the first descriptor matchin `tag`, else `NULL`. [transfer none]

### gst_mpegts_parse_descriptors ()

Parses the descriptors present in `buffer` and returns them as an array.

Note: The data provided in `buffer` will not be copied.

`buffer` : | descriptors to parse. [transfer none]
`buf_len` : | Size of `buffer`
Returns : | an array of the parsed descriptors or `NULL` if there was an error. Release with g_array_unref when done with it. [transfer full][element-type GstMpegTsDescriptor]

Extracts the iso 639-2 language information from `descriptor`.

Note: Use gst_tag_get_language_code if you want to get the the ISO 639-1 language code from the returned ISO 639-2 one.

`descriptor` : | a `GST_MTS_DESC_ISO_639_LANGUAGE` GstMpegTsDescriptor
`res` : | the GstMpegTsISO639LanguageDescriptor to fill. [out][transfer none]
