This method will push the provided output buffer downstream. If needed, mandatory events such as stream-start, caps, and segment events will be sent before pushing the buffer.
This method will push the provided output buffer list downstream. If needed, mandatory events such as stream-start, caps, and segment events will be sent before pushing the buffer.
Lets #GstAggregator sub-classes get the memory allocator acquired by the base class and its params.
Subclasses may use the return value to inform whether they should return gst.types.FlowReturn.Eos from their aggregate implementation.
Retrieves the latency values reported by self in response to the latency query, or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE if there is not live source connected and the element will not wait for the clock.
Negotiates src pad caps with downstream elements. Unmarks GST_PAD_FLAG_NEED_RECONFIGURE in any case. But marks it again if #GstAggregatorClass::negotiate fails.
Use this function to determine what input buffers will be aggregated to produce the next output buffer. This should only be called from a #GstAggregator::samples-selected handler, and can be used to precisely control aggregating parameters for a given set of input samples.
Subclasses should call this when they have prepared the buffers they will aggregate for each of their sink pads, but before using any of the properties of the pads that govern *how* aggregation should be performed, for example z-index for video aggregators.
Subclasses should call this at construction time in order for self to aggregate on a timeout even when no live source is connected.
Subclasses should call this when they don't want to time out waiting for a pad that hasn't yet received any buffers in live mode.
Lets #GstAggregator sub-classes tell the baseclass what their internal latency is. Will also post a LATENCY message on the bus so the pipeline can reconfigure its global latency if the values changed.
Sets the caps to be used on the src pad.
This is a simple #GstAggregatorClass::get_next_time implementation that just looks at the #GstSegment on the srcpad of the aggregator and bases the next time on the running time there.
Subclasses should use this to update the segment on their source pad, instead of directly pushing new segment events downstream.
Creates an element for handling the given URI.
Create a new elementfactory capable of instantiating objects of the type and add the factory to plugin.
Gets a string representing the given state change result.
Gets a string representing the given state.
Marks type as "documentation should be skipped". Can be useful for dynamically registered element to be excluded from plugin documentation system.
Abort the state change of the element. This function is used by elements that do asynchronous state changes and find out something is wrong.
Adds a pad (link point) to element. pad's parent will be set to element; see gst.object.ObjectGst.setParent for refcounting information.
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.Element.setState or indirectly e.g. via SEEK events.
Perform transition on element.
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.types.StateChangeReturn.Success from the state change function.
Creates a pad for each pad template that is always available. This function is only useful during object initialization of subclasses of #GstElement.
Creates a stream-id for element by combining the upstream information with the stream_id.
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.
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.
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.
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 the bus of the element. Note that only a #GstPipeline will provide a bus for the application.
Gets the currently configured clock of the element. This is the clock as was last set with gst.element.Element.setClock.
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.
Retrieves a pad template from element that is compatible with compattempl. Pads from compatible templates can be linked together.
Gets the context with context_type set on the element or NULL.
Gets the context with context_type set on the element or NULL.
Gets the contexts set on the element.
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 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.
Retrieves the factory that was used to create this element.
Get metadata with key in klass.
Retrieves a padtemplate from element with the given name.
Retrieves a list of the pad templates associated with element. The list must not be modified by the calling code.
The name of this function is confusing to people learning GStreamer. gst.element.Element.requestPadSimple aims at making it more explicit it is a simplified gst.element.Element.requestPad.
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.
Gets the state of the element.
Retrieves a pad from element by name. This version only retrieves already-existing (i.e. 'static') pads.
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.
Retrieves an iterator of element's pads. The iterator should be freed after usage. Also more specialized iterators exists such as gst.element.Element.iterateSrcPads or gst.element.Element.iterateSinkPads.
Retrieves an iterator of element's sink pads.
Retrieves an iterator of element's source pads.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.Element.getState will return gst.types.StateChangeReturn.Async.
Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.
Post an error, warning or info message on the bus from inside an element.
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.
Post a message on the element's #GstBus. 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.
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.
Performs a query on the given element.
Queries an element to convert src_val in src_format to dest_format.
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.
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.
Makes the element free the previously requested pad as obtained with gst.element.Element.requestPad.
Removes pad from element. pad will be destroyed if it has not been referenced elsewhere using gst.object.ObjectGst.unparent.
Retrieves a request pad from the element according to the provided template. Pad templates can be looked up using gst.element_factory.ElementFactory.getStaticPadTemplates.
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.Element.releaseRequestPad.
Sends a seek event to an element. See gst.event.Event.newSeek for the details of the parameters. The seek event is sent to the element using gst.element.Element.sendEvent.
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.Element.seek.
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.
Set the base time of an element. See gst.element.Element.getBaseTime.
Sets the bus of the element. Increases the refcount on the bus. For internal use only, unless you're testing elements.
Sets the clock for the element. This function increases the refcount on the clock. Any previously set clock on the object is unreffed.
Sets the context of the element. Increases the refcount of the context.
Locks the state of an element, so state changes of the parent don't affect this element anymore.
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.
Sets the state of the element. This function will try to set the requested state by going through all the intermediary states and calling the class's state change function for each.
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.
Unlinks all source pads of the source element with all sink pads of the sink element to which they are linked.
Unlinks the two named pads of the source and destination elements.

Manages a set of pads with the purpose of aggregating their buffers. Control is given to the subclass when all pads have data.
- gstbase.aggregator_pad.AggregatorPad.popBuffer is called, in which case the caller is guaranteed that the buffer they receive is the same as the peeked buffer. - gstbase.aggregator_pad.AggregatorPad.dropBuffer is called, in which case the caller is guaranteed that the dropped buffer is the one that was peeked. - the subclass implementation of #GstAggregatorClass.aggregate returns.
Subsequent calls to gstbase.aggregator_pad.AggregatorPad.peekBuffer or gstbase.aggregator_pad.AggregatorPad.hasBuffer return / check the same buffer that was returned / checked, until one of the conditions listed above is met.
Subclasses are only allowed to call these methods from the aggregate thread.
This class used to live in gst-plugins-bad and was moved to core.
