Description

GstBaseSink is the base class for sink elements in GStreamer, such as xvimagesink or filesink. It is a layer on top of GstElement that provides a simplified interface to plugin writers. GstBaseSink handles many details for you, for example: preroll, clock synchronization, state changes, activation in push or pull mode, and queries.

In most cases, when writing sink elements, there is no need to implement class methods from GstElement or to set functions on pads, because the GstBaseSink infrastructure should be sufficient.

GstBaseSink provides support for exactly one sink pad, which should be named "sink". A sink implementation (subclass of GstBaseSink) should install a pad template in its class_init function, like so:

static void
my_element_class_init (GstMyElementClass *klass)
{
  GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (klass);

  // sinktemplate should be a #GstStaticPadTemplate with direction
  // %GST_PAD_SINK and name "sink"
  gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template (gstelement_class, &sinktemplate);

  gst_element_class_set_static_metadata (gstelement_class,
      "Sink name",
      "Sink",
      "My Sink element",
      "The author <my.sink@my.email>");
}

GstBaseSink will handle the prerolling correctly. This means that it will return GST_STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC from a state change to PAUSED until the first buffer arrives in this element. The base class will call the GstBaseSinkClass.preroll() vmethod with this preroll buffer and will then commit the state change to the next asynchronously pending state.

When the element is set to PLAYING, GstBaseSink will synchronise on the clock using the times returned from GstBaseSinkClass.get_times(). If this function returns GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE for the start time, no synchronisation will be done. Synchronisation can be disabled entirely by setting the object “sync” property to FALSE.

After synchronisation the virtual method GstBaseSinkClass.render() will be called. Subclasses should minimally implement this method.

Subclasses that synchronise on the clock in the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method are supported as well. These classes typically receive a buffer in the render method and can then potentially block on the clock while rendering. A typical example is an audiosink. These subclasses can use gst_base_sink_wait_preroll() to perform the blocking wait.

Upon receiving the EOS event in the PLAYING state, GstBaseSink will wait for the clock to reach the time indicated by the stop time of the last GstBaseSinkClass.get_times() call before posting an EOS message. When the element receives EOS in PAUSED, preroll completes, the event is queued and an EOS message is posted when going to PLAYING.

GstBaseSink will internally use the GST_EVENT_SEGMENT events to schedule synchronisation and clipping of buffers. Buffers that fall completely outside of the current segment are dropped. Buffers that fall partially in the segment are rendered (and prerolled). Subclasses should do any subbuffer clipping themselves when needed.

GstBaseSink will by default report the current playback position in GST_FORMAT_TIME based on the current clock time and segment information. If no clock has been set on the element, the query will be forwarded upstream.

The GstBaseSinkClass.set_caps() function will be called when the subclass should configure itself to process a specific media type.

The GstBaseSinkClass.start() and GstBaseSinkClass.stop() virtual methods will be called when resources should be allocated. Any GstBaseSinkClass.preroll(), GstBaseSinkClass.render() and GstBaseSinkClass.set_caps() function will be called between the GstBaseSinkClass.start() and GstBaseSinkClass.stop() calls.

The GstBaseSinkClass.event() virtual method will be called when an event is received by GstBaseSink. Normally this method should only be overridden by very specific elements (such as file sinks) which need to handle the newsegment event specially.

The GstBaseSinkClass.unlock() method is called when the elements should unblock any blocking operations they perform in the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method. This is mostly useful when the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method performs a blocking write on a file descriptor, for example.

The “max-lateness” property affects how the sink deals with buffers that arrive too late in the sink. A buffer arrives too late in the sink when the presentation time (as a combination of the last segment, buffer timestamp and element base_time) plus the duration is before the current time of the clock. If the frame is later than max-lateness, the sink will drop the buffer without calling the render method. This feature is disabled if sync is disabled, the GstBaseSinkClass.get_times() method does not return a valid start time or max-lateness is set to -1 (the default). Subclasses can use gst_base_sink_set_max_lateness() to configure the max-lateness value.

The “qos” property will enable the quality-of-service features of the basesink which gather statistics about the real-time performance of the clock synchronisation. For each buffer received in the sink, statistics are gathered and a QOS event is sent upstream with these numbers. This information can then be used by upstream elements to reduce their processing rate, for example.

The “async” property can be used to instruct the sink to never perform an ASYNC state change. This feature is mostly usable when dealing with non-synchronized streams or sparse streams.

Functions

gst_base_sink_query_latency ()

gboolean
gst_base_sink_query_latency (GstBaseSink *sink,
                             gboolean *live,
                             gboolean *upstream_live,
                             GstClockTime *min_latency,
                             GstClockTime *max_latency);

Query the sink for the latency parameters. The latency will be queried from the upstream elements. live will be TRUE if sink is configured to synchronize against the clock. upstream_live will be TRUE if an upstream element is live.

If both live and upstream_live are TRUE, the sink will want to compensate for the latency introduced by the upstream elements by setting the min_latency to a strictly positive value.

This function is mostly used by subclasses.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

live

if the sink is live.

[out][allow-none]

upstream_live

if an upstream element is live.

[out][allow-none]

min_latency

the min latency of the upstream elements.

[out][allow-none]

max_latency

the max latency of the upstream elements.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

TRUE if the query succeeded.


gst_base_sink_get_latency ()

GstClockTime
gst_base_sink_get_latency (GstBaseSink *sink);

Get the currently configured latency.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

Returns

The configured latency.


gst_base_sink_do_preroll ()

GstFlowReturn
gst_base_sink_do_preroll (GstBaseSink *sink,
                          GstMiniObject *obj);

If the sink spawns its own thread for pulling buffers from upstream it should call this method after it has pulled a buffer. If the element needed to preroll, this function will perform the preroll and will then block until the element state is changed.

This function should be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

obj

the mini object that caused the preroll.

[transfer none]

Returns

GST_FLOW_OK if the preroll completed and processing can continue. Any other return value should be returned from the render vmethod.


gst_base_sink_wait ()

GstFlowReturn
gst_base_sink_wait (GstBaseSink *sink,
                    GstClockTime time,
                    GstClockTimeDiff *jitter);

This function will wait for preroll to complete and will then block until time is reached. It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation but want to let some synchronization (like EOS) be handled by the base class.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held (like when receiving an EOS event in the ::event vmethod or when handling buffers in ::render).

The time argument should be the running_time of when the timeout should happen and will be adjusted with any latency and offset configured in the sink.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

time

the running_time to be reached

 

jitter

the jitter to be filled with time diff, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

GstFlowReturn


gst_base_sink_wait_preroll ()

GstFlowReturn
gst_base_sink_wait_preroll (GstBaseSink *sink);

If the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method performs its own synchronisation against the clock it must unblock when going from PLAYING to the PAUSED state and call this method before continuing to render the remaining data.

If the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method can block on something else than the clock, it must also be ready to unblock immediately on the GstBaseSinkClass.unlock() method and cause the GstBaseSinkClass.render() method to immediately call this function. In this case, the subclass must be prepared to continue rendering where it left off if this function returns GST_FLOW_OK.

This function will block until a state change to PLAYING happens (in which case this function returns GST_FLOW_OK) or the processing must be stopped due to a state change to READY or a FLUSH event (in which case this function returns GST_FLOW_FLUSHING).

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like in the render function.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

Returns

GST_FLOW_OK if the preroll completed and processing can continue. Any other return value should be returned from the render vmethod.


gst_base_sink_wait_clock ()

GstClockReturn
gst_base_sink_wait_clock (GstBaseSink *sink,
                          GstClockTime time,
                          GstClockTimeDiff *jitter);

This function will block until time is reached. It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation.

If time is not valid, no synchronisation is done and GST_CLOCK_BADTIME is returned. Likewise, if synchronisation is disabled in the element or there is no clock, no synchronisation is done and GST_CLOCK_BADTIME is returned.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like when receiving an EOS event in the GstBaseSinkClass.event() vmethod or when receiving a buffer in the GstBaseSinkClass.render() vmethod.

The time argument should be the running_time of when this method should return and is not adjusted with any latency or offset configured in the sink.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

time

the running_time to be reached

 

jitter

the jitter to be filled with time diff, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

GstClockReturn

gst_base_sink_set_sync (GstBaseSink *sink,
                        gboolean sync);

Configures sink to synchronize on the clock or not. When sync is FALSE, incoming samples will be played as fast as possible. If sync is TRUE, the timestamps of the incoming buffers will be used to schedule the exact render time of its contents.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

sync

the new sync value.

 

gst_base_sink_get_sync ()

gboolean
gst_base_sink_get_sync (GstBaseSink *sink);

                                gint64 max_lateness);

Sets the new max lateness value to max_lateness . This value is used to decide if a buffer should be dropped or not based on the buffer timestamp and the current clock time. A value of -1 means an unlimited time.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

max_lateness

the new max lateness value.

 

gst_base_sink_get_max_lateness ()

gint64
gst_base_sink_get_max_lateness (GstBaseSink *sink);

                               gboolean enabled);

Configures sink to send Quality-of-Service events upstream.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

enabled

the new qos value.

 

gst_base_sink_is_qos_enabled ()

gboolean
gst_base_sink_is_qos_enabled (GstBaseSink *sink);

Checks if sink is currently configured to send Quality-of-Service events upstream.

Parameters

void
gst_base_sink_set_async_enabled (GstBaseSink *sink,
                                 gboolean enabled);

Configures sink to perform all state changes asynchronously. When async is disabled, the sink will immediately go to PAUSED instead of waiting for a preroll buffer. This feature is useful if the sink does not synchronize against the clock or when it is dealing with sparse streams.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

enabled

the new async value.

 

gst_base_sink_is_async_enabled ()

gboolean
gst_base_sink_is_async_enabled (GstBaseSink *sink);

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

Returns

TRUE if the sink is configured to perform asynchronous state changes.


gst_base_sink_set_ts_offset ()

void
gst_base_sink_set_ts_offset (GstBaseSink *sink,
                             GstClockTimeDiff offset);

Adjust the synchronisation of sink with offset . A negative value will render buffers earlier than their timestamp. A positive value will delay rendering. This function can be used to fix playback of badly timestamped buffers.

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

offset

the new offset

 

gst_base_sink_get_ts_offset ()

GstClockTimeDiff
gst_base_sink_get_ts_offset (GstBaseSink *sink);

Returns

The synchronisation offset.


gst_base_sink_set_render_delay ()

void
gst_base_sink_set_render_delay (GstBaseSink *sink,
                                GstClockTime delay);

Set the render delay in sink to delay . The render delay is the time between actual rendering of a buffer and its synchronisation time. Some devices might delay media rendering which can be compensated for with this function.

After calling this function, this sink will report additional latency and other sinks will adjust their latency to delay the rendering of their media.

This function is usually called by subclasses.

Parameters

sink

a GstBaseSink

 

delay

the new delay

 

gst_base_sink_get_render_delay ()

GstClockTime
gst_base_sink_get_render_delay (GstBaseSink *sink);

Returns

the render delay of sink .


gst_base_sink_get_last_sample ()

GstSample *
gst_base_sink_get_last_sample (GstBaseSink *sink);

Get the last sample that arrived in the sink and was used for preroll or for rendering. This property can be used to generate thumbnails.

The GstCaps on the sample can be used to determine the type of the buffer.

Free-function: gst_sample_unref

Parameters

sink

the sink

 

Returns

a GstSample. gst_sample_unref() after usage. This function returns NULL when no buffer has arrived in the sink yet or when the sink is not in PAUSED or PLAYING.

Subclasses can override any of the available virtual methods or not, as needed. At the minimum, the render method should be overridden to output/present buffers.

Members

get_caps ()

Called to get sink pad caps from the subclass

 

set_caps ()

Notify subclass of changed caps

 

fixate ()

Only useful in pull mode. Implement if you have ideas about what should be the default values for the caps you support.

 

activate_pull ()

Subclasses should override this when they can provide an alternate method of spawning a thread to drive the pipeline in pull mode. Should start or stop the pulling thread, depending on the value of the "active" argument. Called after actually activating the sink pad in pull mode. The default implementation starts a task on the sink pad.

 

get_times ()

Called to get the start and end times for synchronising the passed buffer to the clock

 

propose_allocation ()

configure the allocation query

 

start ()

Start processing. Ideal for opening resources in the subclass

 

stop ()

Stop processing. Subclasses should use this to close resources.

 

unlock ()

Unlock any pending access to the resource. Subclasses should unblock any blocked function ASAP and call gst_base_sink_wait_preroll()

 

unlock_stop ()

Clear the previous unlock request. Subclasses should clear any state they set during GstBaseSinkClass.unlock(), and be ready to continue where they left off after gst_base_sink_wait_preroll(), gst_base_sink_wait() or gst_wait_sink_wait_clock() return or GstBaseSinkClass.render() is called again.

 

query ()

perform a GstQuery on the element.

 

event ()

Override this to handle events arriving on the sink pad

 

wait_event ()

Override this to implement custom logic to wait for the event time (for events like EOS and GAP). Subclasses should always first chain up to the default implementation.

 

prepare ()

Called to prepare the buffer for render and preroll . This function is called before synchronisation is performed.

 

prepare_list ()

Called to prepare the buffer list for render_list . This function is called before synchronisation is performed.

 

preroll ()

Called to present the preroll buffer if desired.

 

render ()

Called when a buffer should be presented or output, at the correct moment if the GstBaseSink has been set to sync to the clock.

 

render_list ()

Same as render but used with buffer lists instead of buffers.

 

Property Details

The “async” property

  “async”                    gboolean

If set to TRUE, the basesink will perform asynchronous state changes. When set to FALSE, the sink will not signal the parent when it prerolls. Use this option when dealing with sparse streams or when synchronisation is not required.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “blocksize” property

  “blocksize”                guint

The amount of bytes to pull when operating in pull mode.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 4096


The “enable-last-sample” property

  “enable-last-sample”       gboolean

Enable the last-sample property. If FALSE, basesink doesn't keep a reference to the last buffer arrived and the last-sample property is always set to NULL. This can be useful if you need buffers to be released as soon as possible, eg. if you're using a buffer pool.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “last-sample” property

  “last-sample”              GstSample *

The last buffer that arrived in the sink and was used for preroll or for rendering. This property can be used to generate thumbnails. This property can be NULL when the sink has not yet received a buffer.

Flags: Read


The “max-bitrate” property

  “max-bitrate”              guint64

Control the maximum amount of bits that will be rendered per second. Setting this property to a value bigger than 0 will make the sink delay rendering of the buffers when it would exceed to max-bitrate.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0

Since: 1.2


The “max-lateness” property

  “max-lateness”             gint64

Maximum number of nanoseconds that a buffer can be late before it is dropped (-1 unlimited).

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1


The “qos” property

  “qos”                      gboolean

Generate Quality-of-Service events upstream.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE


The “render-delay” property

  “render-delay”             guint64

The additional delay between synchronisation and actual rendering of the media. This property will add additional latency to the device in order to make other sinks compensate for the delay.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0


The “sync” property

  “sync”                     gboolean

Sync on the clock.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE


The “throttle-time” property

  “throttle-time”            guint64

The time to insert between buffers. This property can be used to control the maximum amount of buffers per second to render. Setting this property to a value bigger than 0 will make the sink create THROTTLE QoS events.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0


The “ts-offset” property

  “ts-offset”                gint64

Controls the final synchronisation, a negative value will render the buffer earlier while a positive value delays playback. This property can be used to fix synchronisation in bad files.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0
