Properties - Inherited from GES.TimelineElement

asset: GES.Asset
inpoint: ClockTime
maxduration: ClockTime

Accessors

  • get uri(): string

    The location of the file/resource to use.

    Returns string

    null
    

Accessors - Inherited from GES.TrackElement

  • get active(): boolean

    Whether the effect of the element should be applied in its GES.TrackElement.track. If set to false, it will not be used in the output of the track.

    Returns boolean

    true
    
  • set active(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get auto_clamp_control_sources(): boolean

    Whether the control sources on the element (see ges_track_element_set_control_source()) will be automatically updated whenever the GES.TimelineElement.in_point or out-point of the element change in value.

    See ges_track_element_clamp_control_source() for how this is done per control source.

    Default value: true

    Returns boolean

    1.18

    true
    
  • set auto_clamp_control_sources(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get autoClampControlSources(): boolean

    Whether the control sources on the element (see ges_track_element_set_control_source()) will be automatically updated whenever the GES.TimelineElement.in_point or out-point of the element change in value.

    See ges_track_element_clamp_control_source() for how this is done per control source.

    Default value: true

    Returns boolean

    1.18

    true
    
  • set autoClampControlSources(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get has_internal_source(): boolean

    This property is used to determine whether the 'internal time' properties of the element have any meaning. In particular, unless this is set to true, the GES.TimelineElement.in_point and GES.TimelineElement.max_duration can not be set to any value other than the default 0 and #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, respectively.

    If an element has some internal timed source Gst.Element that it reads stream data from as part of its function in a GES.Track, then you'll likely want to set this to true to allow the GES.TimelineElement.in_point and GES.TimelineElement.max_duration to be set.

    The default value is determined by the GES.TrackElementClass default_has_internal_source class property. For most GES.SourceClass-es, this will be true, with the exception of those that have a potentially static source, such as GES.ImageSourceClass and GES.TitleSourceClass. Otherwise, this will usually be false.

    For most GES.Operation-s you will likely want to leave this set to false. The exception may be for an operation that reads some stream data from some private internal source as part of manipulating the input data from the usual linked upstream GES.TrackElement.

    For example, you may want to set this to true for a #GES_TRACK_TYPE_VIDEO operation that wraps a #textoverlay that reads from a subtitle file and places its text on top of the received video data. The GES.TimelineElement.in_point of the element would be used to shift the initial seek time on the #textoverlay away from 0, and the GES.TimelineElement.max_duration could be set to reflect the time at which the subtitle file runs out of data.

    Note that GES can not support track elements that have both internal content and manipulate the timing of their data streams (time effects).

    Returns boolean

    1.18

    false
    
  • set has_internal_source(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get hasInternalSource(): boolean

    This property is used to determine whether the 'internal time' properties of the element have any meaning. In particular, unless this is set to true, the GES.TimelineElement.in_point and GES.TimelineElement.max_duration can not be set to any value other than the default 0 and #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, respectively.

    If an element has some internal timed source Gst.Element that it reads stream data from as part of its function in a GES.Track, then you'll likely want to set this to true to allow the GES.TimelineElement.in_point and GES.TimelineElement.max_duration to be set.

    The default value is determined by the GES.TrackElementClass default_has_internal_source class property. For most GES.SourceClass-es, this will be true, with the exception of those that have a potentially static source, such as GES.ImageSourceClass and GES.TitleSourceClass. Otherwise, this will usually be false.

    For most GES.Operation-s you will likely want to leave this set to false. The exception may be for an operation that reads some stream data from some private internal source as part of manipulating the input data from the usual linked upstream GES.TrackElement.

  • set hasInternalSource(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

Accessors - Inherited from GES.TimelineElement

  • get duration(): number

    The duration that the element is in effect for in the timeline (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the timeline). For example, for a source element, this would determine for how long it should output its internal content for. For an operation element, this would determine for how long its effect should be applied to any source content.

    Returns number

    18446744073709551615
    
  • set duration(val: number | bigint): void

    Parameters

    • val: number | bigint

    Returns void

  • get in_point(): number

    The initial offset to use internally when outputting content (in nanoseconds, but in the time coordinates of the internal content).

    For example, for a GES.VideoUriSource that references some media file, the "internal content" is the media file data, and the in-point would correspond to some timestamp in the media file. When playing the timeline, and when the element is first reached at timeline-time GES.TimelineElement.start, it will begin outputting the data from the timestamp in-point onwards, until it reaches the end of its GES.TimelineElement.duration in the timeline.

    For elements that have no internal content, this should be kept as 0.

    Returns number

    0
    
  • set in_point(val: number | bigint): void

    Parameters

    • val: number | bigint

    Returns void

  • get inPoint(): number

    The initial offset to use internally when outputting content (in nanoseconds, but in the time coordinates of the internal content).

    For example, for a GES.VideoUriSource that references some media file, the "internal content" is the media file data, and the in-point would correspond to some timestamp in the media file. When playing the timeline, and when the element is first reached at timeline-time GES.TimelineElement.start, it will begin outputting the data from the timestamp in-point onwards, until it reaches the end of its GES.TimelineElement.duration in the timeline.

    For elements that have no internal content, this should be kept as 0.

    Returns number

    0
    
  • set inPoint(val: number | bigint): void

    Parameters

    • val: number | bigint

    Returns void

  • get max_duration(): number

    The full duration of internal content that is available (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the internal content).

    This will act as a cap on the GES.TimelineElement.in_point of the element (which is in the same time coordinates), and will sometimes be used to limit the GES.TimelineElement.duration of the element in the timeline.

    For example, for a GES.VideoUriSource that references some media file, this would be the length of the media file.

    For elements that have no internal content, or whose content is indefinite, this should be kept as #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

    Returns number

    18446744073709551615
    
  • set max_duration(val: number | bigint): void

    Parameters

    • val: number | bigint

    Returns void

  • get maxDuration(): number

    The full duration of internal content that is available (a time difference in nanoseconds using the time coordinates of the internal content).

    This will act as a cap on the GES.TimelineElement.in_point of the element (which is in the same time coordinates), and will sometimes be used to limit the GES.TimelineElement.duration of the element in the timeline.

    For example, for a GES.VideoUriSource that references some media file, this would be the length of the media file.

    For elements that have no internal content, or whose content is indefinite, this should be kept as #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

    Returns number

    Parameters

    • val: string | null

    Returns void

  • get start(): number

    The starting position of the element in the timeline (in nanoseconds and in the time coordinates of the timeline).

Methods

Methods - Inherited from GES.TimelineElement

  • Register a property of a child of the element to allow it to be written with ges_timeline_element_set_child_property() and read with ges_timeline_element_get_child_property(). A change in the property will also appear in the GES.TimelineElement.SignalSignatures.deep_notify | GES.TimelineElement::deep-notify signal.

    pspec should be unique from other children properties that have been registered on self.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the property was successfully registered.

  • Create a copy of self. All the properties of self are copied into a new element, with the exception of GES.TimelineElement.parent, GES.TimelineElement.timeline and GES.TimelineElement.name. Other data, such the list of a GES.Container's children, is not copied.

    If deep is true, then the new element is prepared so that it can be used in ges_timeline_element_paste() or ges_timeline_paste_element(). In the case of copying a GES.Container, this ensures that the children of self will also be pasted. The new element should not be used for anything else and can only be used once in a pasting operation. In particular, the new element itself is not an actual 'deep' copy of self, but should be thought of as an intermediate object used for a single paste operation.

    Parameters

    • deep: boolean

      Whether the copy is needed for pasting

    Returns GES.TimelineElement

    The newly create element, copied from self.

  • Edits the element within its timeline by adjusting its GES.TimelineElement.start, GES.TimelineElement.duration or GES.TimelineElement.in_point, and potentially doing the same for other elements in the timeline. See GES.EditMode for details about each edit mode. An edit may fail if it would place one of these properties out of bounds, or if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

    Note that if you act on a GES.TrackElement, this will edit its parent GES.Clip instead. Moreover, for any GES.TimelineElement, if you select #GES_EDGE_NONE for #GES_EDIT_MODE_NORMAL or #GES_EDIT_MODE_RIPPLE, this will edit the toplevel instead, but still in such a way as to make the GES.TimelineElement.start of self reach the edit position.

    Note that if the element's timeline has a GES.Timeline.snapping_distance set, then the edit position may be snapped to the edge of some element under the edited element.

    new_layer_priority can be used to switch self, and other elements moved by the edit, to a new layer. New layers may be be created if the the corresponding layer priority/index does not yet exist for the timeline.

    Parameters

    • new_layer_priority: number | bigint

      The priority/index of the layer self should be moved to. -1 means no move

    • mode: GES.EditMode

      The edit mode

    • edge: GES.Edge

      The edge of self where the edit should occur

    • position: number | bigint

      The edit position: a new location for the edge of self (in nanoseconds) in the timeline coordinates

    Returns boolean

    true if the edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • Gets the property of a child of the element.

    property_name can either be in the format "prop-name" or "TypeName::prop-name", where "prop-name" is the name of the property to get (as used in g_object_get()), and "TypeName" is the type name of the child (as returned by G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME()). The latter format is useful when two children of different types share the same property name.

    The first child found with the given "prop-name" property that was registered with ges_timeline_element_add_child_property() (and of the type "TypeName", if it was given) will have the corresponding property copied into value.

    Note that ges_timeline_element_get_child_properties() may be more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the child property to get

    Returns [boolean, unknown]

    true if the property was found and copied to value.

  • Gets the priority of the layer the element is in. A GES.Group may span several layers, so this would return the highest priority (numerically, the smallest) amongst them.

    Returns number

    The priority of the layer self is in, or #GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_NO_LAYER_PRIORITY if self does not exist in a layer.

  • Paste an element inside the same timeline and layer as self. self must be the return of ges_timeline_element_copy() with deep=TRUE, and it should not be changed before pasting. self is not placed in the timeline, instead a new element is created, alike to the originally copied element. Note that the originally copied element must stay within the same timeline and layer, at both the point of copying and pasting.

    Pasting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

    After calling this function element should not be used. In particular, element can not be pasted again. Instead, you can copy the returned element and paste that copy (although, this is only possible if the paste was successful).

    See also ges_timeline_paste_element().

    Parameters

    Returns GES.TimelineElement | null

    The newly created element, or null if pasting fails.

  • Remove a child property from the element. pspec should be a specification that was passed to ges_timeline_element_add_child_property(). The corresponding property will no longer be registered as a child property for the element.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the property was successfully un-registered for self.

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_RIPPLE and #GES_EDGE_NONE.

    Parameters

    • start: ClockTime

      The new start time of self in ripple mode

    Returns boolean

    true if the ripple edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_RIPPLE and #GES_EDGE_END.

    Parameters

    • end: ClockTime

      The new end time of self in ripple mode

    Returns boolean

    true if the ripple edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_ROLL and #GES_EDGE_END.

    Parameters

    • end: ClockTime

      The new end time of self in roll mode

    Returns boolean

    true if the roll edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_ROLL and #GES_EDGE_START.

    Parameters

    • start: ClockTime

      The new start time of self in roll mode

    Returns boolean

    true if the roll edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • See ges_timeline_element_set_child_property_full(), which also gives an error.

    Note that ges_timeline_element_set_child_properties() may be more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the child property to set

    • value: any

      The value to set the property to

    Returns boolean

    true if the property was found and set.

  • Sets the property of a child of the element.

    property_name can either be in the format "prop-name" or "TypeName::prop-name", where "prop-name" is the name of the property to set (as used in g_object_set()), and "TypeName" is the type name of the child (as returned by G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME()). The latter format is useful when two children of different types share the same property name.

    The first child found with the given "prop-name" property that was registered with ges_timeline_element_add_child_property() (and of the type "TypeName", if it was given) will have the corresponding property set to value. Other children that may have also matched the property name (and type name) are left unchanged!

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the child property to set

    • value: any

      The value to set the property to

    Returns boolean

    true if the property was found and set.

  • Sets GES.TimelineElement.duration for the element.

    Whilst the element is part of a GES.Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with ges_timeline_element_edit() under #GES_EDIT_MODE_TRIM with #GES_EDGE_END. In particular, the GES.TimelineElement.duration of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time difference from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration, or the element does not have enough internal content to last the desired duration.

    Parameters

    • duration: ClockTime

      The desired duration in its timeline

    Returns boolean

    true if duration could be set for self.

  • Sets the GES.TimelineElement.name for the element. If null is given for name, then the library will instead generate a new name based on the type name of the element, such as the name "uriclip3" for a GES.UriClip, and will set that name instead.

    If self already has a GES.TimelineElement.timeline, you should not call this function with name set to null.

    You should ensure that, within each GES.Timeline, every element has a unique name. If you call this function with name as null, then the library should ensure that the set generated name is unique from previously generated names. However, if you choose a name that interferes with the naming conventions of the library, the library will attempt to ensure that the generated names will not conflict with the chosen name, which may lead to a different name being set instead, but the uniqueness between generated and user-chosen names is not guaranteed.

    Parameters

    • name: string | null

      The name self should take

    Returns boolean

    true if name or a generated name for self could be set.

  • Sets the GES.TimelineElement.parent for the element.

    This is used internally and you should normally not call this. A GES.Container will set the GES.TimelineElement.parent of its children in ges_container_add() and ges_container_remove().

    Note, if parent is not null, self must not already have a parent set. Therefore, if you wish to switch parents, you will need to call this function twice: first to set the parent to null, and then to the new parent.

    If parent is not null, you must ensure it already has a (non-floating) reference to self before calling this.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if parent could be set for self.

  • Sets the priority of the element within the containing layer.

    Parameters

    • priority: number

      The priority

    Returns boolean

    true if priority could be set for self.

  • Sets GES.TimelineElement.start for the element. If the element has a parent, this will also move its siblings with the same shift.

    Whilst the element is part of a GES.Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with ges_timeline_element_edit() under #GES_EDIT_MODE_NORMAL with #GES_EDGE_NONE. In particular, the GES.TimelineElement.start of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

    Parameters

    • start: ClockTime

      The desired start position of the element in its timeline

    Returns boolean

    true if start could be set for self.

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in trim mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_TRIM and #GES_EDGE_START.

    Parameters

    • start: ClockTime

      The new start time of self in trim mode

    Returns boolean

    true if the trim edit of self completed, false on failure.

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_RIPPLE and #GES_EDGE_NONE.

    Parameters

    • start: number

      The new start time of self in ripple mode

    Returns boolean

  • Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in ripple mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_RIPPLE and #GES_EDGE_END.

    Parameters

    • end: number

      The new end time of self in ripple mode

    Returns boolean

  • Edits the end time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_ROLL and #GES_EDGE_END.

    Parameters

    • end: number

      The new end time of self in roll mode

    Returns boolean

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in roll mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_ROLL and #GES_EDGE_START.

    Parameters

    • start: number

      The new start time of self in roll mode

    Returns boolean

  • Sets GES.TimelineElement.duration for the element.

    Whilst the element is part of a GES.Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with ges_timeline_element_edit() under #GES_EDIT_MODE_TRIM with #GES_EDGE_END. In particular, the GES.TimelineElement.duration of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time difference from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration, or the element does not have enough internal content to last the desired duration.

    Parameters

    • duration: ClockTime

      The desired duration in its timeline

    Returns boolean

  • Sets GES.TimelineElement.start for the element. If the element has a parent, this will also move its siblings with the same shift.

    Whilst the element is part of a GES.Timeline, this is the same as editing the element with ges_timeline_element_edit() under #GES_EDIT_MODE_NORMAL with #GES_EDGE_NONE. In particular, the GES.TimelineElement.start of the element may be snapped to a different timeline time from the one given. In addition, setting may fail if it would place the timeline in an unsupported configuration.

    Parameters

    • start: ClockTime

      The desired start position of the element in its timeline

    Returns boolean

  • Edits the start time of an element within its timeline in trim mode. See ges_timeline_element_edit() with #GES_EDIT_MODE_TRIM and #GES_EDGE_START.

    Parameters

      The new start time of self in trim mode

    Returns boolean

Methods - Inherited from GES.TrackElement

  • Adds all the properties of a Gst.Element that match the criteria as children properties of the track element. If the name of element's Gst.ElementFactory is not in blacklist, and the factory's #GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_KLASS contains at least one member of wanted_categories (e.g. #GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY_KLASS_DECODER), then all the properties of element that are also in whitelist are added as child properties of self using ges_timeline_element_add_child_property().

    This is intended to be used by subclasses when constructing.

    Parameters

    • element: Gst.Element

      The child object to retrieve properties from

    • wanted_categories: string[] | null

      An array of element factory "klass" categories to whitelist, or null to accept all categories

    • blacklist: string[] | null

      A blacklist of element factory names, or null to not blacklist any element factory

    • whitelist: string[] | null

      A whitelist of element property names, or null to whitelist all writeable properties

    Returns void

  • Deserializes the given string, and adds and sets the found fields and their values on the container. The string should be the return of ges_meta_container_metas_to_string().

    Parameters

    • str: string

      A string to deserialize and add to container

    Returns boolean

    true if the fields in str was successfully deserialized and added to container.

  • Checks whether the specified field has been registered as static, and gets the registered type and flags of the field, as used in ges_meta_container_register_meta() and ges_meta_container_register_static_meta().

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to check

    Returns [boolean, GES.MetaFlag | null, GType<unknown> | null]

    true if the meta_item field has been registered on container.

  • Clamp the GstTimedValueControlSource for the specified child property to lie between the GES.TimelineElement.in_point and out-point of the element. The out-point is the #GES_TIMELINE_ELEMENT_END of the element translated from the timeline coordinates to the internal source coordinates of the element.

    If the property does not have a GstTimedValueControlSource set by ges_track_element_set_control_source(), nothing happens. Otherwise, if a timed value for the control source lies before the in-point of the element, or after its out-point, then it will be removed. At the in-point and out-point times, a new interpolated value will be placed.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the child property to clamp the control source of

    Returns void

  • Edits the element within its track.

    Parameters

    • layers: GES.Layer[] | null

      A whitelist of layers where the edit can be performed, null allows all layers in the timeline

    • mode: GES.EditMode

      The edit mode

    • edge: GES.Edge

      The edge of object where the edit should occur

    • position: number | bigint

      The edit position: a new location for the edge of object (in nanoseconds)

    Returns boolean

    true if the edit of object completed, false on failure.

  • Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

    Returns any

  • Gets the current boolean value of the specified field of the meta container. If the field does not have a set value, or it is of the wrong type, the method will fail.

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to get

  • Gets the GES.Asset.id of some associated asset. It may be the case that the object has no set asset, or even that such an asset does not yet exist in the GES cache. Instead, this will return the asset GES.Asset.id that is compatible with the current state of the object, as determined by the GES.Extractable implementer. If it was indeed extracted from an asset, this should return the same as its corresponding asset GES.Asset.id.

    Returns string

    The GES.Asset.id of some associated GES.Asset that is compatible with self's current state.

  • Gets the current int value of the specified field of the meta container. If the field does not have a set value, or it is of the wrong type, the method will fail.

    Returns [boolean, number]

    true if the int64 value under meta_item was copied to dest.

  • Gets the current string value of the specified field of the meta container. If the field does not have a set value, or it is of the wrong type, the method will fail.

  • Get whether the given track element is a core track element. That is, it was created by the create_track_elements GES.ClipClass method for some GES.Clip.

    Note that such a track element can only be added to a clip that shares the same GES.Asset as the clip that created it. For example, you are allowed to move core children between clips that resulted from ges_container_ungroup(), but you could not move the core child from a GES.UriClip to a GES.TitleClip or another GES.UriClip with a different GES.UriClip.uri.

    Moreover, if a core track element is added to a clip, it will always be added as a core child. Therefore, if this returns true, then element will be a core child of its parent clip.

    Returns boolean

    true if element is a core track element.

  • Looks up which element and pspec would be effected by the given name. If various contained elements have this property name you will get the first one, unless you specify the class name in name.

    Parameters

    • prop_name: string

      Name of the property to look up. You can specify the name of the class as such: "ClassName::property-name", to guarantee that you get the proper GParamSpec in case various GstElement-s contain the same property name. If you don't do so, you will get the first element found, having this property and the and the corresponding GParamSpec.

    Returns [boolean, Gst.Element | null, GObject.ParamSpec<unknown> | null]

    TRUE if element and pspec could be found. FALSE otherwise. In that case the values for pspec and element are not modified. Unref element after usage.

    Parameters

    • flags: GES.MetaFlag

      Flags to be used for the registered field

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to register

    • value: number | bigint

      The value to set for the registered field

    Returns boolean

    true if the meta_item field was successfully registered on container to only hold uint64 typed values, with the given flags, and the field was successfully set to value.

  • Registers a static metadata field on the container to only hold the specified type. After calling this, setting a value under this field can only succeed if its type matches the registered type of the field.

    Unlike ges_meta_container_register_meta(), no (initial) value is set for this field, which means you can use this method to reserve the space to be optionally set later.

    Note that if a value has already been set for the field being registered, then its type must match the registering type, and its value will be left in place. If the field has no set value, then you will likely want to include #GES_META_WRITABLE in flags to allow the value to be set later.

    Parameters

    • flags: GES.MetaFlag

      Flags to be used for the registered field

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to register

    • type: GType

      The required value type for the registered field

    Returns boolean

    true if the meta_item field was successfully registered on container to only hold type values, with the given flags.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the child property to remove the control binding from

    Returns boolean

    true if the control binding was removed from the specified child property of object, or false if an error occurred.

  • Sets the asset for this extractable object.

    When an object is extracted from an asset using ges_asset_extract() its asset will be automatically set. Note that many classes that implement GES.Extractable will automatically create their objects using assets when you call their new methods. However, you can use this method to associate an object with a compatible asset if it was created by other means and does not yet have an asset. Or, for some implementations of GES.Extractable, you can use this to change the asset of the given extractable object, which will lead to a change in its state to match the new asset GES.Asset.id.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if asset could be successfully set on self.

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to the given boolean value.

    Parameters

      The value to set under meta_item

    Returns boolean

    true if value was set under meta_item for container.

  • Creates a Gst.ControlBinding for the specified child property of the track element using the given control source. The given property_name should refer to an existing child property of the track element, as used in ges_timeline_element_lookup_child().

    If binding_type is "direct", then the control binding is created with gst_direct_control_binding_new() using the given control source. If binding_type is "direct-absolute", it is created with gst_direct_control_binding_new_absolute() instead.

    Returns [boolean, Gst.Element | null, GObject.ParamSpec<unknown> | null]

Methods - Inherited from GObject.InitiallyUnowned

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.

    Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

      g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
    

    Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget GObject.Object instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action GObject.Object instance.

    If flags contains GObject.BindingFlags.BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned GObject.Binding instance.

    Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    Returns GObject.Binding

    the GObject.Binding instance representing the binding between the two GObject.Object instances. The binding is released whenever the GObject.Binding reference count reaches zero.

  • Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

    This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

    Returns void

  • Gets a property of an object.

    The value can be:

    • an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
    • a GObject.Value initialized with the expected type of the property
    • a GObject.Value initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

    In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling GObject.Value.unset.

    Note that GObject.Object.get_property is really intended for language bindings, GObject.Object.get is much more convenient for C programming.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      The name of the property to get

    • value: any

      Return location for the property value. Can be an empty GObject.Value initialized by G_VALUE_INIT (auto-initialized with expected type since GLib 2.60), a GObject.Value initialized with the expected property type, or a GObject.Value initialized with a transformable type

    Returns any

  • Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

    Parameters

    • names: string[]

      the names of each property to get

    • values: any[]

      the values of each property to get

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.

    This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

    One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

      typedef enum
    {
    PROP_FOO = 1,
    PROP_LAST
    } MyObjectProperty;

    static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

    static void
    my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
    {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", NULL, NULL,
    0, 100,
    50,
    G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
    PROP_FOO,
    properties[PROP_FOO]);
    }

    and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

      g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
    

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the [floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.

    In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

    Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

    Returns GObject.Object

    object

  • Sets multiple properties of an object at once. The properties argument should be a dictionary mapping property names to values.

    Parameters

    • properties: { [key: string]: any }

      Object containing the properties to set

    Returns void

  • Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

    If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

    Internally, the key is converted to a GLib.Quark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the GLib.Quark storage growing unbounded.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    • data: any

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

  • This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:

    void
    object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
    const gchar *new_string)
    {
    // the quark, naming the object data
    GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
    // retrieve the old string list
    GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

    // prepend new string
    list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
    // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
    g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
    }
    static void
    free_string_list (gpointer data)
    {
    GList *node, *list = data;

    for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
    g_list_free (list);
    }

    Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

    Parameters

    • quark: number

      A GLib.Quark, naming the user data pointer

    Returns any

    The user data pointer set, or null

  • Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

    Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one GObject.Object::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

    It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

    Returns void

  • Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

    If the pointer to the GObject.Object may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to null rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid GObject.Object instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

    Returns void

  • the constructed function is called by g_object_new() as the final step of the object creation process. At the point of the call, all construction properties have been set on the object. The purpose of this call is to allow for object initialisation steps that can only be performed after construction properties have been set. constructed implementors should chain up to the constructed call of their parent class to allow it to complete its initialisation.

    Returns void

  • the dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference loops). Before returning, dispose should chain up to the dispose method of the parent class.

    Returns void

  • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

    When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be overridden for every type with properties. If implementations of set_property don't emit property change notification explicitly, this will be done implicitly by the type system. However, if the notify signal is emitted explicitly, the type system will not emit it a second time.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created GObject.ParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

    This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GObject.TypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface.

    If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • property_id: number

      the new property ID

    • name: string

      the name of a property registered in a parent class or in an interface of this class.

    Returns void
