GstAdapter

This class is for elements that receive buffers in an undesired size. While for example raw video contains one image per buffer, the same is not true for a lot of other formats, especially those that come directly from a file. So if you have undefined buffer sizes and require a specific size, this object is for you.

An adapter is created with gst_adapter_new. It can be freed again with g_object_unref.

The theory of operation is like this: All buffers received are put into the adapter using gst_adapter_push and the data is then read back in chunks of the desired size using gst_adapter_map/gst_adapter_unmap and/or gst_adapter_copy. After the data has been processed, it is freed using gst_adapter_unmap.

Other methods such as gst_adapter_take and gst_adapter_take_buffer combine gst_adapter_map and gst_adapter_unmap in one method and are potentially more convenient for some use cases.

For example, a sink pad's chain function that needs to pass data to a library in 512-byte chunks could be implemented like this:

 static GstFlowReturn
 sink_pad_chain (GstPad *pad, GstObject *parent, GstBuffer *buffer)
 {
   MyElement *this;
   GstAdapter *adapter;
   GstFlowReturn ret = GST_FLOW_OK;

   this = MY_ELEMENT (parent);

   adapter = this->adapter;

   // put buffer into adapter
   gst_adapter_push (adapter, buffer);

   // while we can read out 512 bytes, process them
   while (gst_adapter_available (adapter) >= 512 && ret == GST_FLOW_OK) {
     const guint8 *data = gst_adapter_map (adapter, 512);
     // use flowreturn as an error value
     ret = my_library_foo (data);
     gst_adapter_unmap (adapter);
     gst_adapter_flush (adapter, 512);
   }
   return ret;
 }

For another example, a simple element inside GStreamer that uses GstAdapter is the libvisual element.

An element using GstAdapter in its sink pad chain function should ensure that when the FLUSH_STOP event is received, that any queued data is cleared using gst_adapter_clear. Data should also be cleared or processed on EOS and when changing state from GST_STATE_PAUSED to GST_STATE_READY.

Also check the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT flag on the buffer. Some elements might need to clear the adapter after a discontinuity.

The adapter will keep track of the timestamps of the buffers that were pushed. The last seen timestamp before the current position can be queried with gst_adapter_prev_pts. This function can optionally return the number of bytes between the start of the buffer that carried the timestamp and the current adapter position. The distance is useful when dealing with, for example, raw audio samples because it allows you to calculate the timestamp of the current adapter position by using the last seen timestamp and the amount of bytes since. Additionally, the gst_adapter_prev_pts_at_offset can be used to determine the last seen timestamp at a particular offset in the adapter.

The adapter will also keep track of the offset of the buffers (#GST_BUFFER_OFFSET) that were pushed. The last seen offset before the current position can be queried with gst_adapter_prev_offset. This function can optionally return the number of bytes between the start of the buffer that carried the offset and the current adapter position.

Additionally the adapter also keeps track of the PTS, DTS and buffer offset at the last discontinuity, which can be retrieved with gst_adapter_pts_at_discont, gst_adapter_dts_at_discont and gst_adapter_offset_at_discont. The number of bytes that were consumed since then can be queried with gst_adapter_distance_from_discont.

A last thing to note is that while GstAdapter is pretty optimized, merging buffers still might be an operation that requires a malloc() and memcpy() operation, and these operations are not the fastest. Because of this, some functions like gst_adapter_available_fast are provided to help speed up such cases should you want to. To avoid repeated memory allocations, gst_adapter_copy can be used to copy data into a (statically allocated) user provided buffer.

GstAdapter is not MT safe. All operations on an adapter must be serialized by the caller. This is not normally a problem, however, as the normal use case of GstAdapter is inside one pad's chain function, in which case access is serialized via the pad's STREAM_LOCK.

Note that gst_adapter_push takes ownership of the buffer passed. Use gst_buffer_ref before pushing it into the adapter if you still want to access the buffer later. The adapter will never modify the data in the buffer pushed in it.

gst_adapter_map

gconstpointer
gst_adapter_map (GstAdapter * adapter,
                 gsize size)

Gets the first size bytes stored in the adapter. The returned pointer is valid until the next function is called on the adapter.

Note that setting the returned pointer as the data of a GstBuffer is incorrect for general-purpose plugins. The reason is that if a downstream element stores the buffer so that it has access to it outside of the bounds of its chain function, the buffer will have an invalid data pointer after your element flushes the bytes. In that case you should use gst_adapter_take, which returns a freshly-allocated buffer that you can set as GstBuffer memory or the potentially more performant gst_adapter_take_buffer.

Returns NULL if size bytes are not available.

Parameters:

adapter

a GstAdapter

size

the number of bytes to map/peek

Returns

(transfer none) (array length=size) (element-type guint8) (nullable): a pointer to the first size bytes of data, or NULL


GstBase.Adapter.prototype.map

function GstBase.Adapter.prototype.map(): {
    // javascript wrapper for 'gst_adapter_map'
}

Gets the first size bytes stored in the adapter. The returned pointer is valid until the next function is called on the adapter.

Note that setting the returned pointer as the data of a Gst.Buffer is incorrect for general-purpose plugins. The reason is that if a downstream element stores the buffer so that it has access to it outside of the bounds of its chain function, the buffer will have an invalid data pointer after your element flushes the bytes. In that case you should use GstBase.Adapter.prototype.take, which returns a freshly-allocated buffer that you can set as Gst.Buffer memory or the potentially more performant GstBase.Adapter.prototype.take_buffer.

Returns null if size bytes are not available.

Parameters:

Returns a tuple made of:

([ Number ] )

(transfer none) (array length=size) (element-type guint8) (nullable): a pointer to the first size bytes of data, or null

size (Number )

(transfer none) (array length=size) (element-type guint8) (nullable): a pointer to the first size bytes of data, or null


GstBase.Adapter.map

def GstBase.Adapter.map (self):
    #python wrapper for 'gst_adapter_map'

Gets the first size bytes stored in the adapter. The returned pointer is valid until the next function is called on the adapter.

Note that setting the returned pointer as the data of a Gst.Buffer is incorrect for general-purpose plugins. The reason is that if a downstream element stores the buffer so that it has access to it outside of the bounds of its chain function, the buffer will have an invalid data pointer after your element flushes the bytes. In that case you should use GstBase.Adapter.take, which returns a freshly-allocated buffer that you can set as Gst.Buffer memory or the potentially more performant GstBase.Adapter.take_buffer.

Returns None if size bytes are not available.

Parameters:

Returns a tuple made of:

([ int ] )

(transfer none) (array length=size) (element-type guint8) (nullable): a pointer to the first size bytes of data, or None

gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32

gssize
gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (GstAdapter * adapter,
                                guint32 mask,
                                guint32 pattern,
                                gsize offset,
                                gsize size)

Scan for pattern pattern with applied mask mask in the adapter data, starting from offset offset.

The bytes in pattern and mask are interpreted left-to-right, regardless of endianness. All four bytes of the pattern must be present in the adapter for it to match, even if the first or last bytes are masked out.

It is an error to call this function without making sure that there is enough data (offset+size bytes) in the adapter.

This function calls gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32_peek passing NULL for value.

Parameters:

adapter

a GstAdapter

mask

mask to apply to data before matching against pattern

pattern

pattern to match (after mask is applied)

offset

offset into the adapter data from which to start scanning, returns the last scanned position.

size

number of bytes to scan from offset

Returns

offset of the first match, or -1 if no match was found.

Example:

 // Assume the adapter contains 0x00 0x01 0x02 ... 0xfe 0xff

 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x00010203, 0, 256);
 // -> returns 0
 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x00010203, 1, 255);
 // -> returns -1
 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x01020304, 1, 255);
 // -> returns 1
 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff, 0x0001, 0, 256);
 // -> returns -1
 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff, 0x0203, 0, 256);
 // -> returns 0
 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffff0000, 0x02030000, 0, 256);
 // -> returns 2

GstBase.Adapter.prototype.masked_scan_uint32

function GstBase.Adapter.prototype.masked_scan_uint32(mask: Number, pattern: Number, offset: Number, size: Number): {
    // javascript wrapper for 'gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32'
}

Scan for pattern pattern with applied mask mask in the adapter data, starting from offset offset.

The bytes in pattern and mask are interpreted left-to-right, regardless of endianness. All four bytes of the pattern must be present in the adapter for it to match, even if the first or last bytes are masked out.

It is an error to call this function without making sure that there is enough data (offset+size bytes) in the adapter.

This function calls GstBase.Adapter.prototype.masked_scan_uint32_peek passing null for value.

Parameters:

mask (Number)

mask to apply to data before matching against pattern

pattern (Number)

pattern to match (after mask is applied)

offset (Number)

offset into the adapter data from which to start scanning, returns the last scanned position.

size (Number)

number of bytes to scan from offset

Returns (Number)

offset of the first match, or -1 if no match was found.

Example:

 // Assume the adapter contains 0x00 0x01 0x02 ... 0xfe 0xff

 gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 (adapter, 0xffffffff, 0x00010203, 0, 256);

This function is potentially more performant than GstBase.Adapter.take since it can reuse the memory in pushed buffers by subbuffering or merging. This function will always return a buffer with a single memory region.

Note that no assumptions should be made as to whether certain buffer flags such as the DISCONT flag are set on the returned buffer, or not. The caller needs to explicitly set or unset flags that should be set or unset.

Since 1.6 this will also copy over all GstMeta of the input buffers except for meta with the Gst.MetaFlags.POOLED flag or with the "memory" tag.

Caller owns a reference to the returned buffer. gst_buffer_unref (not introspectable) after usage.

Free-function: gst_buffer_unref

Parameters:

nbytes (int)

the number of bytes to take

Returns (Gst.Buffer)

a Gst.Buffer containing the first nbytes of the adapter, or None if nbytes bytes are not available. gst_buffer_unref (not introspectable) when no longer needed.


gst_adapter_take_buffer_fast

GstBuffer *
gst_adapter_take_buffer_fast (GstAdapter * adapter,
                              gsize nbytes)

Returns a GstBuffer containing the first nbytes of the adapter. The returned bytes will be flushed from the adapter. This function is potentially more performant than gst_adapter_take_buffer since it can reuse the memory in pushed buffers by subbuffering or merging. Unlike gst_adapter_take_buffer, the returned buffer may be composed of multiple non-contiguous GstMemory objects, no copies are made.

Note that no assumptions should be made as to whether certain buffer flags such as the DISCONT flag are set on the returned buffer, or not. The caller needs to explicitly set or unset flags that should be set or unset.

This will also copy over all GstMeta of the input buffers except for meta with the GST_META_FLAG_POOLED flag or with the "memory" tag.

This function can return buffer up to the return value of gst_adapter_available without making copies if possible.

Caller owns a reference to the returned buffer. gst_buffer_unref after usage.

Free-function: gst_buffer_unref

Parameters:

adapter

a GstAdapter

nbytes

the number of bytes to take

Returns ( [transfer: full][nullable])

a GstBuffer containing the first nbytes of the adapter, or NULL if nbytes bytes are not available. gst_buffer_unref when no longer needed.

Since : 1.2
