Description

Queries can be performed on pads (gst_pad_query()) and elements (gst_element_query()). Please note that some queries might need a running pipeline to work.

Queries can be created using the gst_query_new_*() functions. Query values can be set using gst_query_set_*(), and parsed using gst_query_parse_*() helpers.

The following example shows how to query the duration of a pipeline:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
GstQuery *query;
gboolean res;
query = gst_query_new_duration (GST_FORMAT_TIME);
res = gst_element_query (pipeline, query);
if (res) {
  gint64 duration;
  gst_query_parse_duration (query, NULL, &duration);
  g_print ("duration = %"GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (duration));
} else {
  g_print ("duration query failed...");
}
gst_query_unref (query);

gst_query_set_segment ()

void

                       gint64 stop_value);

Answer a segment query by setting the requested values. The normal playback segment of a pipeline is 0 to duration at the default rate of 1.0. If a seek was performed on the pipeline to play a different segment, this query will return the range specified in the last seek.

start_value and stop_value will respectively contain the configured playback range start and stop values expressed in format . The values are always between 0 and the duration of the media and start_value <= stop_value . rate will contain the playback rate. For negative rates, playback will actually happen from stop_value to start_value .

Parameters

query

a GstQuery

 

rate

the rate of the segment

 

format

the GstFormat of the segment values (start_value and stop_value )

 

start_value

the start value

 

stop_value

gst_query_parse_segment ()

void
gst_query_parse_segment (GstQuery *query,
                         gdouble *rate,
                         GstFormat *format,

[out][allow-none]

format

gst_query_new_caps ()

GstQuery *
gst_query_new_caps (GstCaps *filter);

Constructs a new query object for querying the caps.

The CAPS query should return the allowable caps for a pad in the context of the element's state, its link to other elements, and the devices or files it has opened. These caps must be a subset of the pad template caps. In the NULL state with no links, the CAPS query should ideally return the same caps as the pad template. In rare circumstances, an object property can affect the caps returned by the CAPS query, but this is discouraged.

For most filters, the caps returned by CAPS query is directly affected by the allowed caps on other pads. For demuxers and decoders, the caps returned by the srcpad's getcaps function is directly related to the stream data. Again, the CAPS query should return the most specific caps it reasonably can, since this helps with autoplugging.

The filter is used to restrict the result caps, only the caps matching filter should be returned from the CAPS query. Specifying a filter might greatly reduce the amount of processing an element needs to do.

Free-function: gst_query_unref()

Parameters

filter

a filter

 

Returns

a new GstQuery.

gst_query_add_scheduling_mode ()

void
gst_query_add_scheduling_mode (GstQuery *query,
                               GstPadMode mode);

Add mode as one of the supported scheduling modes to query .

Parameters

query

a GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING type query GstQuery

 

mode

a GstPadMode

 

gst_query_get_n_scheduling_modes ()

guint
gst_query_get_n_scheduling_modes (GstQuery *query);

Retrieve the number of values currently stored in the scheduling mode array of the query's structure.

Parameters

query

a GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING type query GstQuery

 

Returns

the scheduling mode array size as a guint.


gst_query_parse_nth_scheduling_mode ()

GstPadMode
gst_query_parse_nth_scheduling_mode (GstQuery *query,
                                     guint index);

Parse an available query and get the scheduling mode at index of the scheduling modes array.

Parameters

query

a GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING type query GstQuery

 

index

position in the scheduling modes array to read

 

Returns

a GstPadMode of the scheduling mode at index .


gst_query_has_scheduling_mode ()

gboolean
gst_query_has_scheduling_mode (GstQuery *query,
                               GstPadMode mode);

Check if query has scheduling mode set.

When checking if upstream supports pull mode, it is usually not enough to just check for GST_PAD_MODE_PULL with this function, you also want to check whether the scheduling flags returned by gst_query_parse_scheduling() have the seeking flag set (meaning random access is supported, not only sequential pulls).

Parameters

query

a GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING type query GstQuery

 

mode

the scheduling mode

 

Returns

TRUE when mode is in the list of scheduling modes.


gst_query_has_scheduling_mode_with_flags ()

gboolean
gst_query_has_scheduling_mode_with_flags
                               (GstQuery *query,
                                GstPadMode mode,
                                GstSchedulingFlags flags);

Check if query has scheduling mode set and flags is set in query scheduling flags.

Parameters

query

a GST_QUERY_SCHEDULING type query GstQuery

 

mode

the scheduling mode

 

flags

GstSchedulingFlags

 

Returns

TRUE when mode is in the list of scheduling modes and flags are compatible with query flags.
