Description

GhostPads are useful when organizing pipelines with GstBin like elements. The idea here is to create hierarchical element graphs. The bin element contains a sub-graph. Now one would like to treat the bin-element like any other GstElement. This is where GhostPads come into play. A GhostPad acts as a proxy for another pad. Thus the bin can have sink and source ghost-pads that are associated with sink and source pads of the child elements.

If the target pad is known at creation time, gst_ghost_pad_new() is the function to use to get a ghost-pad. Otherwise one can use gst_ghost_pad_new_no_target() to create the ghost-pad and use gst_ghost_pad_set_target() to establish the association later on.

Note that GhostPads add overhead to the data processing of a pipeline.

Functions

gst_ghost_pad_new ()

GstPad *
gst_ghost_pad_new (const gchar *name,
                   GstPad *target);

Create a new ghostpad with target as the target. The direction will be taken from the target pad. target must be unlinked.

Will ref the target.

Parameters

name

the name of the new pad, or NULL to assign a default name.

[allow-none]

target

the pad to ghost.

[transfer none]

Returns

a new GstPad, or NULL in case of an error.

[transfer floating][nullable]


gst_ghost_pad_new_no_target ()

GstPad *
gst_ghost_pad_new_no_target (const gchar *name,
                             GstPadDirection dir);

Set the new target of the ghostpad gpad . Any existing target is unlinked and links to the new target are established. if newtarget is NULL the target will be cleared.

Parameters

gpad

the GstGhostPad

 

newtarget

the new pad target.

gst_ghost_pad_construct ()

gboolean
gst_ghost_pad_construct (GstGhostPad *gpad);

gpad

the newly allocated ghost pad

 

Returns

TRUE if the construction succeeds, FALSE otherwise.
