# Implements

[`gst::ObjectExt`](../gst/trait.ObjectExt.html), [`glib::object::ObjectExt`](../glib/object/trait.ObjectExt.html)
<!-- impl Player::fn new -->
Creates a new `Player` instance that uses `signal_dispatcher` to dispatch
signals to some event loop system, or emits signals directly if NULL is
passed. See `PlayerGMainContextSignalDispatcher::new`.

Video is going to be rendered by `video_renderer`, or if `None` is provided
no special video set up will be done and some default handling will be
performed.

<!-- impl Player::fn config_set_seek_accurate -->
Enable or disable accurate seeking. When enabled, elements will try harder
