Since 0.4.0

### gdata_media_content_get_filesize ()

    gsize
    gdata_media_content_get_filesize (GDataMediaContent *self);

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_media_content_get_content_type ()

    const gchar *
    gdata_media_content_get_content_type (GDataMediaContent *self);

    gboolean
    gdata_media_content_is_default (GDataMediaContent *self);

Gets the “is-default” property.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataMediaContent |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the GDataMediaContent is the default content for the media group, `FALSE` otherwise

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_media_content_get_expression ()

    GDataMediaExpression
    gdata_media_content_get_expression (GDataMediaContent *self);

### gdata_media_content_get_duration ()

    gint64
    gdata_media_content_get_duration (GDataMediaContent *self);

#### Returns

the content's duration in seconds, or `0`

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_media_content_get_height ()

    guint

### gdata_media_content_get_width ()

    guint
    gdata_media_content_get_width (GDataMediaContent *self);

Gets the “width” property.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataMediaContent |

#### Returns

the content's width in pixels, or `0`

Since 0.4.0

### gdata_media_content_download ()

    GDataDownloadStream *
    gdata_media_content_download (GDataMediaContent *self,
                                  GDataService *service,
                                  GCancellable *cancellable,
                                  GError **error);

Downloads and returns a GDataDownloadStream allowing the content represented by `self` to be read.

To get the content type of the downloaded data, `gdata_download_stream_get_content_type()` can be called on the returned GDataDownloadStream. Calling `gdata_download_stream_get_content_length()` on the stream will not return a meaningful result, however, as the stream is encoded in chunks, rather than by content length.

In order to cancel the download, a GCancellable passed in to `cancellable` must be cancelled using `g_cancellable_cancel()`. Cancelling the individual GInputStream operations on the GDataDownloadStream will not cancel the entire download; merely the read or close operation in question. See the “cancellable” for more details.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataMediaContent |
service | the GDataService |
cancellable | a GCancellable for the entire download stream, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

a GDataDownloadStream to download the content with, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`.
