Detailed Description

A top-level bin with clocking and bus management functionality.

A Gst::Pipeline is a special Gst::Bin used as the toplevel container for the filter graph. The Gst::Pipeline will manage the selection and distribution of a global Gst::Clock as well as provide a Gst::Bus to the application. It will also implement a default behavour for managing seek events (see Gst::Element::seek()).

create() is used to create a pipeline. when the pipeline is destroyed all its resources including all added Gst::Element objects are destroyed.

Elements are added and removed from the pipeline using the Gst::Bin methods like Gst::Bin::add() and Gst::Bin::remove() (see Gst::Bin).

Before changing the state of the Gst::Pipeline (see Gst::Element) a Gst::Bus can be retrieved with get_bus(). This bus can then be used to receive Gst::Message from the elements in the pipeline.

By default, a Gst::Pipeline will automatically flush the pending Gst::Bus messages when going to the NULL state to ensure that no circular references exist when no messages are read from the Gst::Bus. This behaviour can be changed with set_auto_flush_bus().

When the Gst::Pipeline performs the PAUSED to PLAYING state change it will select a clock for the elements. The clock selection algorithm will by default select a clock provided by an element that is most upstream (closest to the source). For live pipelines (ones that return Gst::STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL from the Gst::Element::set_state() call) this will select the clock provided by the live source. For normal pipelines this will select a clock provided by the sinks (most likely the audio sink). If no element provides a clock, a default Gst::SystemClock is used.

The clock selection can be controlled with the use_clock() method, which will enforce a given clock on the pipeline. With auto_clock() the default clock selection algorithm can be restored.

A Gst::Pipeline maintains a stream time for the elements. The stream time is defined as the difference between the current clock time and the base time. When the pipeline goes to READY or a flushing seek is performed on it, the stream time is reset to 0. When the pipeline is set from PLAYING to PAUSED, the current clock time is sampled and used to configure the base time for the elements when the pipeline is set to PLAYING again.

When sending a flushing seek event to a Gst::Pipeline (see Gst::Element::seek()), it will make sure that the pipeline is properly PAUSED and resumed as well as set the new stream time to 0 when the seek succeeded.

◆ set_auto_flush_bus()

void Gst::Pipeline::set_auto_flush_bus ( gboolean  auto_flush = true)

Usually, when a pipeline goes from READY to nullptr state, it automatically flushes all pending messages on the bus, which is done for refcounting purposes, to break circular references.

This means that applications that update state using (async) bus messages (e.g. do certain things when a pipeline goes from PAUSED to READY) might not get to see messages when the pipeline is shut down, because they might be flushed before they can be dispatched in the main thread. This behaviour can be disabled using this function.

It is important that all messages on the bus are handled when the automatic flushing is disabled else memory leaks will be introduced.

MT safe.

Parameters
auto_flushWhether or not to automatically flush the bus when the pipeline goes from READY to nullptr state.

◆ set_clock()

bool Gst::Pipeline::set_clock ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Clock >&  clock)

Set the clock for pipeline.

The clock will be distributed to all the elements managed by the pipeline.

Parameters
clockThe clock to set.
Returns
true if the clock could be set on the pipeline. false if some element did not accept the clock.

MT safe.

◆ set_delay()

void Gst::Pipeline::set_delay ( ClockTime  delay)

Set the expected delay needed for all elements to perform the PAUSED to PLAYING state change.

delay will be added to the base time of the elements so that they wait an additional delay amount of time before starting to process buffers and cannot be Gst::CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

This option is used for tuning purposes and should normally not be used.

MT safe.

Parameters
delayThe delay.

◆ set_latency()

void Gst::Pipeline::set_latency ( Gst::ClockTime  latency)

Sets the latency that should be configured on the pipeline.

Setting GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE will restore the default behaviour of using the minimum latency from the LATENCY query. Setting this is usually not required and the pipeline will figure out an appropriate latency automatically.

Setting a too low latency, especially lower than the minimum latency from the LATENCY query, will most likely cause the pipeline to fail.

Parameters
latencyLatency to configure.

◆ use_clock()

void Gst::Pipeline::use_clock ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Clock >&  clock)

Force pipeline to use the given clock.

The pipeline will always use the given clock even if new clock providers are added to this pipeline.

If clock is nullptr all clocking will be disabled which will make the pipeline run as fast as possible.

MT safe.

Parameters
clockThe clock to use.
