Dummy element that passes incoming data through unmodified. It has some useful diagnostic functions, such as offset and timestamp checking.

Signals

handoff

handoff_callback (GstElement * identity,
                  GstBuffer * buffer,
                  gpointer udata)

def handoff_callback (identity, buffer, udata):
    #python callback for the 'handoff' signal

function handoff_callback(identity: GstElement * identity, buffer: GstBuffer * buffer, udata: gpointer udata): {
    // javascript callback for the 'handoff' signal
}

This signal gets emitted before passing the buffer downstream.

Parameters:

identity –

the identity instance

buffer –

the buffer that just has been received

udata –

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0

drop-allocation

“drop-allocation” gboolean

Don't forward allocation queries

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : false

drop-buffer-flags

“drop-buffer-flags” GstBufferFlags *

Drop buffers with the given flags.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : (none)

Since : 1.8

drop-probability

“drop-probability” gfloat

The Probability a buffer is dropped

Flags : Read / Write

last-message

“last-message” gchararray

last-message

Flags : Read

Default value : NULL

signal-handoffs

“signal-handoffs” gboolean

If set to TRUE, the identity will emit a handoff signal when handling a buffer. When set to FALSE, no signal will be emitted, which might improve performance.

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : true

silent

“silent” gboolean

silent

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : true

single-segment

“single-segment” gboolean

Timestamp buffers and eat segments so as to appear as one segment

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : false

sleep-time

“sleep-time” guint

Microseconds to sleep between processing

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0

stats

“stats” GstStructure *

Various statistics. This property returns a GstStructure with name application/x-identity-stats with the following fields:

#guint64 "num-buffers": the number of buffers that passed through. #guint64 "num-bytes": the number of bytes that passed through.

Flags : Read

Default value :

application/x-identity-stats, num-bytes=(guint64)0, num-buffers=(guint64)0;

Since : 1.20

sync

“sync” gboolean

Synchronize to pipeline clock

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : false

ts-offset

“ts-offset” gint64

Timestamp offset in nanoseconds for synchronisation, negative for earlier sync

Flags : Read / Write

Default value : 0
