GES-1.0GESVideoTrack

A GES.VideoTrack is a default video GES.Track, with a #GES_TRACK_TYPE_VIDEO GES.Track.track_type and "video/x-raw(ANY)" GES.Track.caps.

By default, a video track will have its GES.Track.restriction_caps set to "video/x-raw" with the following properties:

  • width: 1280
  • height: 720
  • framerate: 30/1

These fields are needed for negotiation purposes, but you can change their values if you wish. It is advised that you do so using ges_track_update_restriction_caps() with new values for the fields you wish to change, and any additional fields you may want to add. Unlike using ges_track_set_restriction_caps(), this will ensure that these default fields will at least have some value set.

Accessors - Inherited from GES.Track

  • get async_handling(): boolean

    If set to true, the bin will handle asynchronous state changes. This should be used only if the bin subclass is modifying the state of its children on its own.

    Returns boolean

  • set async_handling(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get asyncHandling(): boolean

    If set to true, the bin will handle asynchronous state changes. This should be used only if the bin subclass is modifying the state of its children on its own.

    Returns boolean

  • set asyncHandling(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get caps(): Gst.Caps

    The capabilities used to choose the output of the GES.Track's elements. Internally, this is used to select output streams when several may be available, by determining whether its Gst.Pad is compatible (see NleObject:caps for #nlecomposition). As such, this is used as a weaker indication of the desired output type of the track, before the GES.Track.restriction_caps is applied. Therefore, this should be set to a generic superset of the GES.Track.restriction_caps, such as "video/x-raw(ANY)". In addition, it should match with the track's GES.Track.track_type.

    Note that when you set this property, the Gst.CapsFeatures of all its Gst.Structure-s will be automatically set to #GST_CAPS_FEATURES_ANY.

    Once a track has been added to a GES.Timeline, you should not change this.

    Default value: #GST_CAPS_ANY.

    Returns Gst.Caps

  • get duration(): number

    Current duration of the track

    Default value: O

    Returns number

  • get id(): string

    The #nlecomposition:id of the underlying #nlecomposition.

    Returns string

    1.18

  • set id(val: string): void

    Parameters

    • val: string

    Returns void

  • get message_forward(): boolean

    Forward all children messages, even those that would normally be filtered by the bin. This can be interesting when one wants to be notified of the EOS state of individual elements, for example.

    The messages are converted to an ELEMENT message with the bin as the source. The structure of the message is named GstBinForwarded and contains a field named message that contains the original forwarded Gst.Message.

    Returns boolean

  • set message_forward(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get messageForward(): boolean

    Forward all children messages, even those that would normally be filtered by the bin. This can be interesting when one wants to be notified of the EOS state of individual elements, for example.

    The messages are converted to an ELEMENT message with the bin as the source. The structure of the message is named GstBinForwarded and contains a field named message that contains the original forwarded Gst.Message.

    Returns boolean

  • set messageForward(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get mixing(): boolean

    Whether the track should support the mixing of GES.Layer data, such as composing the video data of each layer (when part of the video data is transparent, the next layer will become visible) or adding together the audio data. As such, for audio and video tracks, you'll likely want to keep this set to true.

    Returns boolean

  • set mixing(val: boolean): void

    Parameters

    • val: boolean

    Returns void

  • get parent(): Gst.Object

    The parent of the object. Please note, that when changing the 'parent' property, we don't emit GObject.Object::notify and Gst.Object.SignalSignatures.deep_notify | Gst.Object::deep-notify signals due to locking issues. In some cases one can use Gst.Bin.SignalSignatures.element_added | Gst.Bin::element-added or Gst.Bin.SignalSignatures.element_removed | Gst.Bin::element-removed signals on the parent to achieve a similar effect.

    Returns Gst.Object

  • set parent(val: Gst.Object): void

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get restriction_caps(): Gst.Caps

    The capabilities that specifies the final output format of the GES.Track. For example, for a video track, it would specify the height, width, framerate and other properties of the stream.

    You may change this property after the track has been added to a GES.Timeline, but it must remain compatible with the track's GES.Track.caps.

    Default value: #GST_CAPS_ANY.

    Returns Gst.Caps

  • set restriction_caps(val: Gst.Caps): void

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • get restrictionCaps(): Gst.Caps

    The capabilities that specifies the final output format of the GES.Track. For example, for a video track, it would specify the height, width, framerate and other properties of the stream.

    You may change this property after the track has been added to a GES.Timeline, but it must remain compatible with the track's GES.Track.caps.

    Default value: #GST_CAPS_ANY.

    Returns Gst.Caps

  • set restrictionCaps(val: Gst.Caps): void

    Parameters

    Returns void

Methods

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

    Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    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 transform_from function is only used in case of bidirectional bindings, otherwise it will be ignored

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. This will release the reference that is being held on the GObject.Binding instance; if you want to hold on to the GObject.Binding instance, you will need to hold a reference to it.

    To remove the binding, call g_binding_unbind().

    A GObject.Object can have multiple bindings.

    The same user_data parameter will be used for both transform_to and transform_from transformation functions; the notify function will be called once, when the binding is removed. If you need different data for each transformation function, please use g_object_bind_property_with_closures() instead.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target GObject.Object

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: GObject.BindingFlags

      flags to pass to GObject.Binding

    • Optionaltransform_to: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the source to the target, or null to use the default

    • Optionaltransform_from: BindingTransformFunc

      the transformation function from the target to the source, or null to use the default

    • Optionalnotify: DestroyNotify

      a function to call when disposing the binding, to free resources used by the transformation functions, or null if not required

    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.

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

      the property on source to bind

    Returns any

    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.

  • 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, GType<unknown>]

    true if the meta_item field has been registered on container.

  • Disconnects a handler from an instance so it will not be called during any future or currently ongoing emissions of the signal it has been connected to.

    Parameters

    • id: number

      Handler ID of the handler to be disconnected

    Returns void

  • This function is intended for GObject.Object implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().

    Returns void

  • 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 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

    Returns [boolean, boolean]

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

  • Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key for that association

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • Gets the current date 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

    Returns [boolean, GLib.Date]

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

  • Gets the current date time 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

    Returns [boolean, Gst.DateTime]

    true if the date time value under meta_item was copied to dest.

  • Gets the current double 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

    Returns [boolean, number]

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

  • Gets the current float 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

    Returns [boolean, number]

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

  • 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.

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to get

    Returns [boolean, number]

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

  • Gets the current int64 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

    Returns [boolean, number]

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

  • 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

  • Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

    Returns any

  • 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.

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to get

    Returns string

    The string value under meta_item, or null if it could not be fetched.

  • Gets the current uint 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

    Returns [boolean, number]

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

  • Gets the current uint64 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

    Returns [boolean, number]

    true if the uint64 value under meta_item was copied to dest.

  • 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

  • Increases the reference count of object.

    Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

    Returns GObject.Object

    the same object

  • Parameters

    • ...args: never[]

    Returns any

  • 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

      The key for the container field to register

    • value: number

      The value to set for the registered field

    Returns boolean

    true if the meta_item field was successfully registered on container to only hold int64 typed values, with the given flags, and the field was successfully set to value.

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to the given string value, and registers the field to only hold a string typed value. After calling this, only string values can be set for this field. The given flags can be set to make this field only readable after calling this method.

    Parameters

    • flags: GES.MetaFlag

      Flags to be used for the registered field

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to register

    • value: string

      The value to set for the registered field

    Returns boolean

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

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to the given uint value, and registers the field to only hold a uint typed value. After calling this, only uint values can be set for this field. The given flags can be set to make this field only readable after calling this method.

    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

      The value to set for the registered field

    Returns boolean

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

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to the given uint64 value, and registers the field to only hold a uint64 typed value. After calling this, only uint64 values can be set for this field. The given flags can be set to make this field only readable after calling this method.

    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

      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.

  • 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

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

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to set

    • value: boolean

      The value to set under meta_item

    Returns boolean

    true if value was set under meta_item for container.

  • 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

    • Optionaldata: any

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

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

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if value was set under meta_item for container.

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to a copy of the given value. If the given value is null, the field given by meta_item is removed and true is returned.

    Parameters

      The key for the container field to set

    • Optionalvalue: GObject.Value

      The value to set under meta_item, or null to remove the corresponding field

    Parameters

    • meta_item: string

      The key for the container field to set

    • value: number

      The value to set under meta_item

    Returns boolean

    true if value was set under meta_item for container.

  • Sets the value of the specified field of the meta container to the given uint64 value.

  • Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    Returns any

    the data if found, or null if no such data exists.

  • 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

Methods - Inherited from GES.Track

  • Abort the state change of the element. This function is used by elements that do asynchronous state changes and find out something is wrong.

    This function should be called with the STATE_LOCK held.

    MT safe.

    Returns void

  • Adds the given element to the bin. Sets the element's parent, and thus takes ownership of the element. An element can only be added to one bin.

    If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is added to the bin.

    When you add an element to an already-running pipeline, you will have to take care to set the state of the newly-added element to the desired state (usually PLAYING or PAUSED, same you set the pipeline to originally) with gst_element_set_state(), or use gst_element_sync_state_with_parent(). The bin or pipeline will not take care of this for you.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the element could be added, false if the bin does not want to accept the element.

  • Adds a pad (link point) to element. pad's parent will be set to element; see gst_object_set_parent() for refcounting information.

    Pads are automatically activated when added in the PAUSED or PLAYING state.

    The pad and the element should be unlocked when calling this function.

    This function will emit the Gst.Element.SignalSignatures.pad_added | Gst.Element::pad-added signal on the element.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the pad could be added. This function can fail when a pad with the same name already existed or the pad already had another parent. MT safe.

  • Parameters

    • property_name: string

      name of property to watch for changes, or NULL to watch all properties

    • include_value: boolean

      whether to include the new property value in the message

    Returns number

    a watch id, which can be used in connection with gst_element_remove_property_notify_watch() to remove the watch again.

  • Parameters

    • property_name: string

      name of property to watch for changes, or NULL to watch all properties

    • include_value: boolean

      whether to include the new property value in the message

    Returns number

    a watch id, which can be used in connection with gst_element_remove_property_notify_watch() to remove the watch again.

  • Calls func from another thread and passes user_data to it. This is to be used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK events.

    Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Commits all the pending changes for the elements contained in the track.

    When changes are made to the timing or priority of elements within a track, they are not directly executed for the underlying #nlecomposition and its children. This method will finally execute these changes so they are reflected in the data output of the track.

    Any pending changes will be executed in the backend. The GES.Timeline::commited signal will be emitted once this has completed.

    Note that ges_timeline_commit() will call this method on all of its tracks, so you are unlikely to need to use this directly.

    Returns boolean

    true if pending changes were committed, or false if nothing needed to be committed.

  • Commit the state change of the element and proceed to the next pending state if any. This function is used by elements that do asynchronous state changes. The core will normally call this method automatically when an element returned Gst.StateChangeReturn.SUCCESS from the state change function.

    If after calling this method the element still has not reached the pending state, the next state change is performed.

    This method is used internally and should normally not be called by plugins or applications.

    This function must be called with STATE_LOCK held.

    Parameters

    Returns Gst.StateChangeReturn

    The result of the commit state change. MT safe.

  • Creates a stream-id for element by combining the upstream information with the stream_id.

    This function generates an unique stream-id by getting the upstream stream-start event stream ID and appending stream_id to it. If the element has no sinkpad it will generate an upstream stream-id by doing an URI query on the element and in the worst case just uses a random number. Source elements that don't implement the URI handler interface should ideally generate a unique, deterministic stream-id manually instead.

    Since stream IDs are sorted alphabetically, any numbers in the stream ID should be printed with a fixed number of characters, preceded by 0's, such as by using the format %03u instead of %u.

    Parameters

    • stream_id: string

      The stream-id

    Returns string

    A stream-id for element.

  • A default error function that uses g_printerr() to display the error message and the optional debug string..

    The default handler will simply print the error string using g_print.

    Parameters

    • error: GLib.Error

      the GError.

    • Optionaldebug: string

      an additional debug information string, or null

    Returns void

  • Recursively looks for elements with an unlinked pad of the given direction within the specified bin and returns an unlinked pad if one is found, or null otherwise. If a pad is found, the caller owns a reference to it and should use gst_object_unref() on the pad when it is not needed any longer.

    Parameters

    • direction: Gst.PadDirection

      whether to look for an unlinked source or sink pad

    Returns Gst.Pad

    unlinked pad of the given direction.

  • Call func with user_data for each of element's pads. func will be called exactly once for each pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to func returns false in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early. If new pads are added or pads are removed while pads are being iterated, this will not be taken into account until next time this function is used.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    false if element had no pads or if one of the calls to func returned false.

  • Call func with user_data for each of element's sink pads. func will be called exactly once for each sink pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to func returns false in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early. If new sink pads are added or sink pads are removed while the sink pads are being iterated, this will not be taken into account until next time this function is used.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    false if element had no sink pads or if one of the calls to func returned false.

  • Call func with user_data for each of element's source pads. func will be called exactly once for each source pad that exists at the time of this call, unless one of the calls to func returns false in which case we will stop iterating pads and return early. If new source pads are added or source pads are removed while the source pads are being iterated, this will not be taken into account until next time this function is used.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    false if element had no source pads or if one of the calls to func returned false.

  • Returns the base time of the element. The base time is the absolute time of the clock when this element was last put to PLAYING. Subtracting the base time from the clock time gives the running time of the element.

    Returns number

    the base time of the element. MT safe.

  • Looks for an element inside the bin that implements the given interface. If such an element is found, it returns the element. You can cast this element to the given interface afterwards. If you want all elements that implement the interface, use gst_bin_iterate_all_by_interface(). This function recurses into child bins.

    Parameters

    Returns Gst.Element

    A Gst.Element inside the bin implementing the interface

  • Looks up a child element by the given full-path name.

    Similar to gst_child_proxy_get_child_by_name(), this method searches and returns a child given a name. The difference is that this method allows a hierarchical path in the form of child1::child2::child3. In the later example this method would return a reference to child3, if found. The name should be made of element names only and should not contain any property names.

    Type Parameters

    Parameters

    • name: string

      the full-path child's name

    Returns T

    the child object or null if not found.

  • Gets the currently configured clock of the element. This is the clock as was last set with gst_element_set_clock().

    Elements in a pipeline will only have their clock set when the pipeline is in the PLAYING state.

    Returns Gst.Clock

    the Gst.Clock of the element. unref after usage. MT safe.

  • Looks for an unlinked pad to which the given pad can link. It is not guaranteed that linking the pads will work, though it should work in most cases.

    This function will first attempt to find a compatible unlinked ALWAYS pad, and if none can be found, it will request a compatible REQUEST pad by looking at the templates of element.

    Parameters

    Returns Gst.Pad

    the Gst.Pad to which a link can be made, or null if one cannot be found. gst_object_unref() after usage.

  • Obtain the control-rate for this object. Audio processing Gst.Element objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call gst_object_sync_values() in between. The length of the processing segment should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.

    If the object is not under property control, this will return GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE. This allows the element to avoid the sub-dividing.

    The control-rate is not expected to change if the element is in Gst.State.PAUSED or Gst.State.PLAYING.

    Returns number

    the control rate in nanoseconds

  • Returns the current clock time of the element, as in, the time of the element's clock, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if there is no clock.

    Returns number

    the clock time of the element, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if there is no clock.

  • Returns the running time of the element. The running time is the element's clock time minus its base time. Will return GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if the element has no clock, or if its base time has not been set.

    Returns number

    the running time of the element, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if the element has no clock or its base time has not been set.

  • Gets a number of GValues for the given controlled property starting at the requested time. The array values need to hold enough space for n_values of GObject.Value.

    This function is useful if one wants to e.g. draw a graph of the control curve or apply a control curve sample by sample.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of the property to get

    • timestamp: number

      the time that should be processed

    • interval: number

      the time spacing between subsequent values

    • values: any[]

      array to put control-values in

    Returns boolean

    true if the given array could be filled, false otherwise

  • Returns a copy of the name of object. Caller should g_free() the return value after usage. For a nameless object, this returns null, which you can safely g_free() as well.

    Free-function: g_free

    Returns string

    the name of object. g_free() after usage. MT safe. This function grabs and releases object's LOCK.

  • Returns the parent of object. This function increases the refcount of the parent object so you should gst_object_unref() it after usage.

    Returns Gst.Object

    parent of object, this can be null if object has no parent. unref after usage. MT safe. Grabs and releases object's LOCK.

  • Generates a string describing the path of object in the object hierarchy. Only useful (or used) for debugging.

    Free-function: g_free

    Returns string

    a string describing the path of object. You must g_free() the string after usage. MT safe. Grabs and releases the Gst.Object's LOCK for all objects in the hierarchy.

  • The name of this function is confusing to people learning GStreamer. gst_element_request_pad_simple() aims at making it more explicit it is a simplified gst_element_request_pad().

    Parameters

    • name: string

      the name of the request Gst.Pad to retrieve.

    Returns Gst.Pad

    requested Gst.Pad if found, otherwise null. Release after usage.

  • Returns the start time of the element. The start time is the running time of the clock when this element was last put to PAUSED.

    Usually the start_time is managed by a toplevel element such as Gst.Pipeline.

    MT safe.

    Returns number

    the start time of the element.

  • Retrieves a pad from element by name. This version only retrieves already-existing (i.e. 'static') pads.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      the name of the static Gst.Pad to retrieve.

    Returns Gst.Pad

    the requested Gst.Pad if found, otherwise null. unref after usage. MT safe.

  • Gets the value for the given controlled property at the requested time.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of the property to get

    • timestamp: number

      the time the control-change should be read from

    Returns GObject.Value

    the GValue of the property at the given time, or null if the property isn't controlled.

  • Checks if the state of an element is locked. If the state of an element is locked, state changes of the parent don't affect the element. This way you can leave currently unused elements inside bins. Just lock their state before changing the state from #GST_STATE_NULL.

    MT safe.

    Returns boolean

    true, if the element's state is locked.

  • Retrieves an iterator of element's pads. The iterator should be freed after usage. Also more specialized iterators exists such as gst_element_iterate_src_pads() or gst_element_iterate_sink_pads().

    The order of pads returned by the iterator will be the order in which the pads were added to the element.

    Returns Iterator

    the Gst.Iterator of Gst.Pad. MT safe.

  • Gets an iterator for the elements in this bin in topologically sorted order. This means that the elements are returned from the most downstream elements (sinks) to the sources.

    This function is used internally to perform the state changes of the bin elements and for clock selection.

    Returns Iterator

    a Gst.Iterator of Gst.Element

  • Links src to dest. The link must be from source to destination; the other direction will not be tried. The function looks for existing pads that aren't linked yet. It will request new pads if necessary. Such pads need to be released manually when unlinking. If multiple links are possible, only one is established.

    Make sure you have added your elements to a bin or pipeline with gst_bin_add() before trying to link them.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the elements could be linked, false otherwise.

  • Links src to dest using the given caps as filtercaps. The link must be from source to destination; the other direction will not be tried. The function looks for existing pads that aren't linked yet. It will request new pads if necessary. If multiple links are possible, only one is established.

    Make sure you have added your elements to a bin or pipeline with gst_bin_add() before trying to link them.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the pads could be linked, false otherwise.

  • Links the two named pads of the source and destination elements. Side effect is that if one of the pads has no parent, it becomes a child of the parent of the other element. If they have different parents, the link fails.

    Parameters

    • srcpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in source element or null for any pad.

    • dest: Gst.Element

      the Gst.Element containing the destination pad.

    • Optionaldestpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in destination element, or null for any pad.

    Returns boolean

    true if the pads could be linked, false otherwise.

  • Links the two named pads of the source and destination elements. Side effect is that if one of the pads has no parent, it becomes a child of the parent of the other element. If they have different parents, the link fails. If caps is not null, makes sure that the caps of the link is a subset of caps.

    Parameters

    • srcpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in source element or null for any pad.

    • dest: Gst.Element

      the Gst.Element containing the destination pad.

    • Optionaldestpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in destination element or null for any pad.

    • Optionalfilter: Gst.Caps

      the Gst.Caps to filter the link, or null for no filter.

    Returns boolean

    true if the pads could be linked, false otherwise.

  • Links the two named pads of the source and destination elements. Side effect is that if one of the pads has no parent, it becomes a child of the parent of the other element. If they have different parents, the link fails.

    Calling gst_element_link_pads_full() with flags == Gst.PadLinkCheck.DEFAULT is the same as calling gst_element_link_pads() and the recommended way of linking pads with safety checks applied.

    This is a convenience function for gst_pad_link_full().

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the pads could be linked, false otherwise.

  • Brings the element to the lost state. The current state of the element is copied to the pending state so that any call to gst_element_get_state() will return Gst.StateChangeReturn.ASYNC.

    An ASYNC_START message is posted. If the element was PLAYING, it will go to PAUSED. The element will be restored to its PLAYING state by the parent pipeline when it prerolls again.

    This is mostly used for elements that lost their preroll buffer in the Gst.State.PAUSED or Gst.State.PLAYING state after a flush, they will go to their pending state again when a new preroll buffer is queued. This function can only be called when the element is currently not in error or an async state change.

    This function is used internally and should normally not be called from plugins or applications.

    Returns void

  • Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.

    type must be of #GST_MESSAGE_ERROR, #GST_MESSAGE_WARNING or #GST_MESSAGE_INFO.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    • type: Gst.MessageType
    • domain: number

      the GStreamer GError domain this message belongs to

    • code: number

      the GError code belonging to the domain

    • text: string

      an allocated text string to be used as a replacement for the default message connected to code, or null

    • debug: string

      an allocated debug message to be used as a replacement for the default debugging information, or null

    • file: string

      the source code file where the error was generated

    • _function: string

      the source code function where the error was generated

    • line: number

      the source code line where the error was generated

    Returns void

  • Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.

    type must be of #GST_MESSAGE_ERROR, #GST_MESSAGE_WARNING or #GST_MESSAGE_INFO.

    Parameters

    • type: Gst.MessageType
    • domain: number

      the GStreamer GError domain this message belongs to

    • code: number

      the GError code belonging to the domain

    • text: string

      an allocated text string to be used as a replacement for the default message connected to code, or null

    • debug: string

      an allocated debug message to be used as a replacement for the default debugging information, or null

    • file: string

      the source code file where the error was generated

    • _function: string

      the source code function where the error was generated

    • line: number

      the source code line where the error was generated

    • structure: Structure

      optional details structure

    Returns void

  • Use this function to signal that the element does not expect any more pads to show up in the current pipeline. This function should be called whenever pads have been added by the element itself. Elements with #GST_PAD_SOMETIMES pad templates use this in combination with autopluggers to figure out that the element is done initializing its pads.

    This function emits the Gst.Element.SignalSignatures.no_more_pads | Gst.Element::no-more-pads signal.

    MT safe.

    Returns void

post_message

  • post_message(message: Gst.Message): boolean

    Post a message on the element's Gst.Bus. This function takes ownership of the message; if you want to access the message after this call, you should add an additional reference before calling.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the message was successfully posted. The function returns false if the element did not have a bus. MT safe.

  • Get the clock provided by the given element.

    An element is only required to provide a clock in the PAUSED state. Some elements can provide a clock in other states.

    Returns Gst.Clock

    the GstClock provided by the element or null if no clock could be provided. Unref after usage. MT safe.

  • Performs a query on the given element.

    For elements that don't implement a query handler, this function forwards the query to a random srcpad or to the peer of a random linked sinkpad of this element.

    Please note that some queries might need a running pipeline to work.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the query could be performed. MT safe.

  • Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the total stream duration in nanoseconds. This query will only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.

    If the duration changes for some reason, you will get a DURATION_CHANGED message on the pipeline bus, in which case you should re-query the duration using this function.

    Parameters

    Returns [boolean, number]

    true if the query could be performed.

  • Queries an element (usually top-level pipeline or playbin element) for the stream position in nanoseconds. This will be a value between 0 and the stream duration (if the stream duration is known). This query will usually only work once the pipeline is prerolled (i.e. reached PAUSED or PLAYING state). The application will receive an ASYNC_DONE message on the pipeline bus when that is the case.

    If one repeatedly calls this function one can also create a query and reuse it in gst_element_query().

    Parameters

    Returns [boolean, number]

    true if the query could be performed.

  • Queries bin for the current latency and reconfigures this latency on all the elements using a LATENCY event.

    This method is typically called on the pipeline when a #GST_MESSAGE_LATENCY is posted on the bus.

    This function simply emits the Gst.Bin.SignalSignatures.do_latency | Gst.Bin::do-latency signal so any custom latency calculations will be performed.

    Returns boolean

    true if the latency could be queried and reconfigured.

  • Makes the element free the previously requested pad as obtained with gst_element_request_pad().

    This does not unref the pad. If the pad was created by using gst_element_request_pad(), gst_element_release_request_pad() needs to be followed by gst_object_unref() to free the pad.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Removes the element from the bin, unparenting it as well. Unparenting the element means that the element will be dereferenced, so if the bin holds the only reference to the element, the element will be freed in the process of removing it from the bin. If you want the element to still exist after removing, you need to call gst_object_ref() before removing it from the bin.

    If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is removed from the bin.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the element could be removed, false if the bin does not want to remove the element.

  • Removes pad from element. pad will be destroyed if it has not been referenced elsewhere using gst_object_unparent().

    This function is used by plugin developers and should not be used by applications. Pads that were dynamically requested from elements with gst_element_request_pad() should be released with the gst_element_release_request_pad() function instead.

    Pads are not automatically deactivated so elements should perform the needed steps to deactivate the pad in case this pad is removed in the PAUSED or PLAYING state. See gst_pad_set_active() for more information about deactivating pads.

    The pad and the element should be unlocked when calling this function.

    This function will emit the Gst.Element.SignalSignatures.pad_removed | Gst.Element::pad-removed signal on the element.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the pad could be removed. Can return false if the pad does not belong to the provided element. MT safe.

  • Retrieves a request pad from the element according to the provided template. Pad templates can be looked up using gst_element_factory_get_static_pad_templates().

    The pad should be released with gst_element_release_request_pad().

    Parameters

    • templ: Gst.PadTemplate

      a Gst.PadTemplate of which we want a pad of.

    • Optionalname: string

      the name of the request Gst.Pad to retrieve. Can be null.

    • Optionalcaps: Gst.Caps

      the caps of the pad we want to request. Can be null.

    Returns Gst.Pad

    requested Gst.Pad if found, otherwise null. Release after usage.

  • Retrieves a pad from the element by name (e.g. "src_%d"). This version only retrieves request pads. The pad should be released with gst_element_release_request_pad().

    This method is slower than manually getting the pad template and calling gst_element_request_pad() if the pads should have a specific name (e.g. name is "src_1" instead of "src_%u").

    Note that this function was introduced in GStreamer 1.20 in order to provide a better name to gst_element_get_request_pad(). Prior to 1.20, users should use gst_element_get_request_pad() which provides the same functionality.

    Parameters

    • name: string

      the name of the request Gst.Pad to retrieve.

    Returns Gst.Pad

    requested Gst.Pad if found, otherwise null. Release after usage.

  • Sends a seek event to an element. See gst_event_new_seek() for the details of the parameters. The seek event is sent to the element using gst_element_send_event().

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    • rate: number

      The new playback rate

    • format: Gst.Format

      The format of the seek values

    • flags: Gst.SeekFlags

      The optional seek flags.

    • start_type: Gst.SeekType

      The type and flags for the new start position

    • start: number

      The value of the new start position

    • stop_type: Gst.SeekType

      The type and flags for the new stop position

    • stop: number

      The value of the new stop position

    Returns boolean

    true if the event was handled. Flushing seeks will trigger a preroll, which will emit Gst.MessageType.ASYNC_DONE.

  • Simple API to perform a seek on the given element, meaning it just seeks to the given position relative to the start of the stream. For more complex operations like segment seeks (e.g. for looping) or changing the playback rate or seeking relative to the last configured playback segment you should use gst_element_seek().

    In a completely prerolled PAUSED or PLAYING pipeline, seeking is always guaranteed to return true on a seekable media type or false when the media type is certainly not seekable (such as a live stream).

    Some elements allow for seeking in the READY state, in this case they will store the seek event and execute it when they are put to PAUSED. If the element supports seek in READY, it will always return true when it receives the event in the READY state.

    Parameters

    • format: Gst.Format

      a Gst.Format to execute the seek in, such as #GST_FORMAT_TIME

    • seek_flags: Gst.SeekFlags

      seek options; playback applications will usually want to use GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH | GST_SEEK_FLAG_KEY_UNIT here

    • seek_pos: number

      position to seek to (relative to the start); if you are doing a seek in #GST_FORMAT_TIME this value is in nanoseconds - multiply with #GST_SECOND to convert seconds to nanoseconds or with #GST_MSECOND to convert milliseconds to nanoseconds.

    Returns boolean

    true if the seek operation succeeded. Flushing seeks will trigger a preroll, which will emit Gst.MessageType.ASYNC_DONE.

  • Sends an event to an element. If the element doesn't implement an event handler, the event will be pushed on a random linked sink pad for downstream events or a random linked source pad for upstream events.

    This function takes ownership of the provided event so you should gst_event_ref() it if you want to reuse the event after this call.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the event was handled. Events that trigger a preroll (such as flushing seeks and steps) will emit Gst.MessageType.ASYNC_DONE.

  • Set the base time of an element. See gst_element_get_base_time().

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    • time: number

      the base time to set.

    Returns void

  • Sets the clock for the element. This function increases the refcount on the clock. Any previously set clock on the object is unreffed.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if the element accepted the clock. An element can refuse a clock when it, for example, is not able to slave its internal clock to the clock or when it requires a specific clock to operate. MT safe.

  • This function is used to disable the control bindings on a property for some time, i.e. gst_object_sync_values() will do nothing for the property.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      property to disable

    • disabled: boolean

      boolean that specifies whether to disable the controller or not.

    Returns void

  • This function is used to disable all controlled properties of the object for some time, i.e. gst_object_sync_values() will do nothing.

    Parameters

    • disabled: boolean

      boolean that specifies whether to disable the controller or not.

    Returns void

  • Change the control-rate for this object. Audio processing Gst.Element objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call gst_object_sync_values() in between. The length of the processing segment should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.

    The control-rate should not change if the element is in Gst.State.PAUSED or Gst.State.PLAYING.

    Parameters

    • control_rate: number

      the new control-rate in nanoseconds.

    Returns void

  • Locks the state of an element, so state changes of the parent don't affect this element anymore.

    Note that this is racy if the state lock of the parent bin is not taken. The parent bin might've just checked the flag in another thread and as the next step proceed to change the child element's state.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    • locked_state: boolean

      true to lock the element's state

    Returns boolean

    true if the state was changed, false if bad parameters were given or the elements state-locking needed no change.

  • Sets the name of object, or gives object a guaranteed unique name (if name is null). This function makes a copy of the provided name, so the caller retains ownership of the name it sent.

    Parameters

    • Optionalname: string

      new name of object

    Returns boolean

    true if the name could be set. Since Objects that have a parent cannot be renamed, this function returns false in those cases. MT safe. This function grabs and releases object's LOCK.

  • Sets the parent of object to parent. The object's reference count will be incremented, and any floating reference will be removed (see gst_object_ref_sink()).

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

    true if parent could be set or false when object already had a parent or object and parent are the same. MT safe. Grabs and releases object's LOCK.

  • Set the start time of an element. The start time of the element is the running time of the element when it last went to the PAUSED state. In READY or after a flushing seek, it is set to 0.

    Toplevel elements like Gst.Pipeline will manage the start_time and base_time on its children. Setting the start_time to #GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE on such a toplevel element will disable the distribution of the base_time to the children and can be useful if the application manages the base_time itself, for example if you want to synchronize capture from multiple pipelines, and you can also ensure that the pipelines have the same clock.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    • time: number

      the base time to set.

    Returns void

  • Informs the track that it belongs to the given timeline. Calling this does not actually add the track to the timeline. For that, you should use ges_timeline_add_track(), which will also take care of informing the track that it belongs to the timeline. As such, there is no need for you to call this method.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Returns a suggestion for timestamps where buffers should be split to get best controller results.

    Returns number

    Returns the suggested timestamp or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if no control-rate was set.

  • Synchronizes the state of every child of bin with the state of bin. See also gst_element_sync_state_with_parent().

    Returns boolean

    true if syncing the state was successful for all children, otherwise false.

  • Tries to change the state of the element to the same as its parent. If this function returns false, the state of element is undefined.

    Returns boolean

    true, if the element's state could be synced to the parent's state. MT safe.

  • Sets the properties of the object, according to the GstControlSources that (maybe) handle them and for the given timestamp.

    If this function fails, it is most likely the application developers fault. Most probably the control sources are not setup correctly.

    Parameters

    • timestamp: number

      the time that should be processed

    Returns boolean

    true if the controller values could be applied to the object properties, false otherwise

  • Unlinks all source pads of the source element with all sink pads of the sink element to which they are linked.

    If the link has been made using gst_element_link(), it could have created an requestpad, which has to be released using gst_element_release_request_pad().

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Unlinks the two named pads of the source and destination elements.

    This is a convenience function for gst_pad_unlink().

    Parameters

    • srcpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in source element.

    • dest: Gst.Element

      a Gst.Element containing the destination pad.

    • destpadname: string

      the name of the Gst.Pad in destination element.

    Returns void

  • Clear the parent of object, removing the associated reference. This function decreases the refcount of object.

    MT safe. Grabs and releases object's lock.

    Returns void

  • Updates the GES.Track.restriction_caps of the track using the fields found in the given caps. Each of the Gst.Structure-s in caps is compared against the existing structure with the same index in the current GES.Track.restriction_caps. If there is no corresponding existing structure at that index, then the new structure is simply copied to that index. Otherwise, any fields in the new structure are copied into the existing structure. This will replace existing values, and may introduce new ones, but any fields 'missing' in the new structure are left unchanged in the existing structure.

    For example, if the existing GES.Track.restriction_caps are "video/x-raw, width=480, height=360", and the updating caps is "video/x-raw, format=I420, width=500; video/x-bayer, width=400", then the new GES.Track.restriction_caps after calling this will be "video/x-raw, width=500, height=360, format=I420; video/x-bayer, width=400".

    Parameters

    • caps: Gst.Caps

      The caps to update the restriction-caps with

    Returns void

  • Use this function to signal that the element does not expect any more pads to show up in the current pipeline. This function should be called whenever pads have been added by the element itself. Elements with #GST_PAD_SOMETIMES pad templates use this in combination with autopluggers to figure out that the element is done initializing its pads.

    This function emits the Gst.Element.SignalSignatures.no_more_pads | Gst.Element::no-more-pads signal.

    MT safe.

    Returns void

Virtualvfunc_post_message

  • Performs a query on the given element.

    For elements that don't implement a query handler, this function forwards the query to a random srcpad or to the peer of a random linked sinkpad of this element.

    Please note that some queries might need a running pipeline to work.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • Retrieves a request pad from the element according to the provided template. Pad templates can be looked up using gst_element_factory_get_static_pad_templates().

    The pad should be released with gst_element_release_request_pad().

    Parameters

    • templ: Gst.PadTemplate

      a Gst.PadTemplate of which we want a pad of.

    • Optionalname: string

      the name of the request Gst.Pad to retrieve. Can be null.

    • Optionalcaps: Gst.Caps

      the caps of the pad we want to request. Can be null.

    Returns Gst.Pad

  • Sends an event to an element. If the element doesn't implement an event handler, the event will be pushed on a random linked sink pad for downstream events or a random linked source pad for upstream events.

    This function takes ownership of the provided event so you should gst_event_ref() it if you want to reuse the event after this call.

    MT safe.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • Checks to see if there is any object named name in list. This function does not do any locking of any kind. You might want to protect the provided list with the lock of the owner of the list. This function will lock each Gst.Object in the list to compare the name, so be careful when passing a list with a locked object.

    Parameters

    Returns boolean

  • A default deep_notify signal callback for an object. The user data should contain a pointer to an array of strings that should be excluded from the notify. The default handler will print the new value of the property using g_print.

    MT safe. This function grabs and releases object's LOCK for getting its path string.

    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

  • Create a new elementfactory capable of instantiating objects of the type and add the factory to plugin.

    Parameters

    • plugin: Gst.Plugin

      Gst.Plugin to register the element with, or null for a static element.

    • name: string

      name of elements of this type

    • rank: number

      rank of element (higher rank means more importance when autoplugging)

    • type: GType

      GType of element to register

    Returns boolean

  • Parameters

    • longname: string

      The long English name of the element. E.g. "File Sink"

    • classification: string

      String describing the type of element, as an unordered list separated with slashes ('/'). See draft-klass.txt of the design docs for more details and common types. E.g: "Sink/File"

    • description: string

      Sentence describing the purpose of the element. E.g: "Write stream to a file"

    • author: string

      Name and contact details of the author(s). Use \n to separate multiple author metadata. E.g: "Joe Bloggs <joe.blogs at foo.com>"

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • longname: string

      The long English name of the element. E.g. "File Sink"

    • classification: string

      String describing the type of element, as an unordered list separated with slashes ('/'). See draft-klass.txt of the design docs for more details and common types. E.g: "Sink/File"

    • description: string

      Sentence describing the purpose of the element. E.g: "Write stream to a file"

    • author: string

      Name and contact details of the author(s). Use \n to separate multiple author metadata. E.g: "Joe Bloggs <joe.blogs at foo.com>"

    Returns void

  • Marks type as "documentation should be skipped". Can be useful for dynamically registered element to be excluded from plugin documentation system.

    Example:

    GType my_type;
    GTypeInfo my_type_info;

    // Fill "my_type_info"
    ...

    my_type = g_type_register_static (GST_TYPE_MY_ELEMENT, "my-type-name",
    &my_type_info, 0);
    gst_element_type_set_skip_documentation (my_type);
    gst_element_register (plugin, "my-plugin-feature-name", rank, my_type);

    Parameters

    Returns void

Interfaces
