Struct gstreamer::Object[][src]

pub struct Object(_);
Expand description

Object provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the GStreamer library. It is currently a thin wrapper on top of GInitiallyUnowned. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own.

Object gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking. Most of the functions are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be found under the same name in the base class of Object which is glib::Object (e.g. g_object_ref() becomes gst_object_ref()).

Since Object derives from GInitiallyUnowned, it also inherits the floating reference. Be aware that functions such as GstBinExt::add() and ElementExt::add_pad() take ownership of the floating reference.

In contrast to glib::Object instances, Object adds a name property. The functions gst_object_set_name() and GstObjectExt::name() are used to set/get the name of the object.

controlled properties

Controlled properties offers a lightweight way to adjust gobject properties over stream-time. It works by using time-stamped value pairs that are queued for element-properties. At run-time the elements continuously pull value changes for the current stream-time.

What needs to be changed in a Element? Very little - it is just two steps to make a plugin controllable!

  • mark gobject-properties paramspecs that make sense to be controlled, by GST_PARAM_CONTROLLABLE.

  • when processing data (get, chain, loop function) at the beginning call gst_object_sync_values(element,timestamp). This will make the controller update all GObject properties that are under its control with the current values based on the timestamp.

What needs to be done in applications? Again it’s not a lot to change.

  • create a ControlSource. csource = gst_interpolation_control_source_new (); g_object_set (csource, “mode”, GST_INTERPOLATION_MODE_LINEAR, NULL);

  • Attach the ControlSource on the controller to a property. gst_object_add_control_binding (object, gst_direct_control_binding_new (object, “prop1”, csource));

  • Set the control values gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,0 * GST_SECOND, value1); gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,1 * GST_SECOND, value2);

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.

Implements

GstObjectExt, glib::ObjectExt

Implementations

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 Object in the list to compare the name, so be careful when passing a list with a locked object.

list

a list of Object to check through

name

the name to search for

Returns

true if a Object named name does not appear in list, false if it does.

MT safe. Grabs and releases the LOCK of each object in the list.
