uridecodebin

Decodes data from a URI into raw media. It selects a source element that can handle the given uri scheme and connects it to a decodebin.

Signals

autoplug-continue

gboolean
autoplug_continue_callback (GstElement * bin,
                            GstPad * pad,
                            GstCaps * caps,
                            gpointer udata)
def autoplug_continue_callback (bin, pad, caps, udata):
    #python callback for the 'autoplug-continue' signal
function autoplug_continue_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, pad: GstPad * pad, caps: GstCaps * caps, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'autoplug-continue' signal
}

This signal is emitted whenever uridecodebin finds a new stream. It is emitted before looking for any elements that can handle that stream.

Invocation of signal handlers stops after the first signal handler returns FALSE. Signal handlers are invoked in the order they were connected in.

Parameters:

bin

The uridecodebin.

pad

The GstPad.

caps

The GstCaps found.

udata
No description available
Returns (gboolean)

TRUE if you wish uridecodebin to look for elements that can handle the given caps. If FALSE, those caps will be considered as final and the pad will be exposed as such (see 'pad-added' signal of GstElement).

Flags: Run Last


autoplug-factories

GValueArray *
autoplug_factories_callback (GstElement * bin,
                             GstPad * pad,
                             GstCaps * caps,
                             gpointer udata)
def autoplug_factories_callback (bin, pad, caps, udata):
    #python callback for the 'autoplug-factories' signal
function autoplug_factories_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, pad: GstPad * pad, caps: GstCaps * caps, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'autoplug-factories' signal
}

This function is emitted when an array of possible factories for caps on pad is needed. Uridecodebin will by default return an array with all compatible factories, sorted by rank.

If this function returns NULL, pad will be exposed as a final caps.

If this function returns an empty array, the pad will be considered as having an unhandled type media type.

Only the signal handler that is connected first will ever by invoked. Don't connect signal handlers with the G_CONNECT_AFTER flag to this signal, they will never be invoked!

Parameters:

bin

The uridecodebin.

pad

The GstPad.

caps

The GstCaps found.

udata
No description available
Returns (GValueArray *)

a GValueArray* with a list of factories to try. The factories are by default tried in the returned order or based on the index returned by "autoplug-select".

                         GstQuery * arg2,

autoplug-select

GstAutoplugSelectResult *
autoplug_select_callback (GstElement * bin,
                          GstPad * pad,
                          GstCaps * caps,
                          GstElementFactory * factory,
                          gpointer udata)
def autoplug_select_callback (bin, pad, caps, factory, udata):
    #python callback for the 'autoplug-select' signal
function autoplug_select_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, pad: GstPad * pad, caps: GstCaps * caps, factory: GstElementFactory * factory, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'autoplug-select' signal
}

This signal is emitted once uridecodebin has found all the possible GstElementFactory that can be used to handle the given caps. For each of those factories, this signal is emitted.

The signal handler should return a GstAutoplugSelectResult enum value indicating what decodebin should do next.

A value of try will try to autoplug an element from factory.

A value of expose will expose pad without plugging any element to it.

A value of skip will skip factory and move to the next factory.

The signal handler will not be invoked if any of the previously registered signal handlers (if any) return a value other than GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY. Which also means that if you return GST_AUTOPLUG_SELECT_TRY from one signal handler, handlers that get registered next (again, if any) can override that decision.

Parameters:

bin

The uridecodebin.

pad

The GstPad.

caps

The GstCaps.

factory

A GstElementFactory to use.

udata
No description available
Returns (GstAutoplugSelectResult *)

a GstAutoplugSelectResult that indicates the required operation. The default handler will always return try.

Flags: Run Last


autoplug-sort

GValueArray *
autoplug_sort_callback (GstElement * bin,
                        GstPad * pad,
                        GstCaps * caps,
                        GValueArray * factories,
                        gpointer udata)
def autoplug_sort_callback (bin, pad, caps, factories, udata):
    #python callback for the 'autoplug-sort' signal
function autoplug_sort_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, pad: GstPad * pad, caps: GstCaps * caps, factories: GValueArray * factories, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'autoplug-sort' signal
}

Once decodebin has found the possible GstElementFactory objects to try for caps on pad, this signal is emitted. The purpose of the signal is for the application to perform additional sorting or filtering on the element factory array.

The callee should copy and modify factories or return NULL if the order should not change.

Invocation of signal handlers stops after one signal handler has returned something else than NULL. Signal handlers are invoked in the order they were connected in. Don't connect signal handlers with the G_CONNECT_AFTER flag to this signal, they will never be invoked!

Parameters:

bin

The uridecodebin.

pad

The GstPad.

caps

The GstCaps.

factories

A GValueArray of possible GstElementFactory to use.

udata
No description available
Returns (GValueArray *)

A new sorted array of GstElementFactory objects.

drained

drained_callback (GstElement * param_0,
                  gpointer udata)
def drained_callback (param_0, udata):
    #python callback for the 'drained' signal
function drained_callback(param_0: GstElement * param_0, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'drained' signal
}

This signal is emitted when the data for the current uri is played.

source-setup

source_setup_callback (GstElement * bin,
                       GstElement * source,
                       gpointer udata)
def source_setup_callback (bin, source, udata):
    #python callback for the 'source-setup' signal
function source_setup_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, source: GstElement * source, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'source-setup' signal
}

This signal is emitted after the source element has been created, so it can be configured by setting additional properties (e.g. set a proxy server for an http source, or set the device and read speed for an audio cd source). This is functionally equivalent to connecting to the notify::source signal, but more convenient.

Parameters:

bin

the uridecodebin.

source

source element

unknown-type

unknown_type_callback (GstElement * bin,
                       GstPad * pad,
                       GstCaps * caps,
                       gpointer udata)
def unknown_type_callback (bin, pad, caps, udata):
    #python callback for the 'unknown-type' signal
function unknown_type_callback(bin: GstElement * bin, pad: GstPad * pad, caps: GstCaps * caps, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'unknown-type' signal
}

This signal is emitted when a pad for which there is no further possible decoding is added to the uridecodebin.

Parameters:

bin

The uridecodebin.

pad

the new pad containing caps that cannot be resolved to a 'final'. stream type.

caps

the GstCaps of the pad that cannot be resolved.
