<!-- struct AppSink -->
Appsink is a sink plugin that supports many different methods for making
the application get a handle on the GStreamer data in a pipeline. Unlike
most GStreamer elements, Appsink provides external API functions.
appsink can be used by linking to the gstappsink.h header file to access the
methods or by using the appsink action signals and properties.
The normal way of retrieving samples from appsink is by using the
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
`AppSink::pull_sample` and `AppSink::pull_preroll` methods.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
These methods block until a sample becomes available in the sink or when the
sink is shut down or reaches EOS. There are also timed variants of these
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
methods, `AppSink::try_pull_sample` and `AppSink::try_pull_preroll`,
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
which accept a timeout parameter to limit the amount of time to wait.
Appsink will internally use a queue to collect buffers from the streaming
thread. If the application is not pulling samples fast enough, this queue
will consume a lot of memory over time. The "max-buffers" property can be
used to limit the queue size. The "drop" property controls whether the
streaming thread blocks or if older buffers are dropped when the maximum
queue size is reached. Note that blocking the streaming thread can negatively
affect real-time performance and should be avoided.
If a blocking behaviour is not desirable, setting the "emit-signals" property
to `true` will make appsink emit the "new-sample" and "new-preroll" signals
when a sample can be pulled without blocking.
The "caps" property on appsink can be used to control the formats that
appsink can receive. This property can contain non-fixed caps, the format of
the pulled samples can be obtained by getting the sample caps.
If one of the pull-preroll or pull-sample methods return `None`, the appsink
is stopped or in the EOS state. You can check for the EOS state with the
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
"eos" property or with the `AppSink::is_eos` method.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
The eos signal can also be used to be informed when the EOS state is reached
to avoid polling.

2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSink::fn pull_preroll -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Get the last preroll sample in `self`. This was the sample that caused the
2018-03-20 10:36:29 +00:00
appsink to preroll in the PAUSED state.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
This function is typically used when dealing with a pipeline in the PAUSED
state. Calling this function after doing a seek will give the sample right
after the seek position.
2018-03-20 10:36:29 +00:00
Calling this function will clear the internal reference to the preroll
buffer.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Note that the preroll sample will also be returned as the first sample
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
when calling `AppSink::pull_sample`.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
If an EOS event was received before any buffers, this function returns
`None`. Use gst_app_sink_is_eos () to check for the EOS condition.
This function blocks until a preroll sample or EOS is received or the appsink
element is set to the READY/NULL state.

<!-- impl AppSink::fn pull_sample -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
This function blocks until a sample or EOS becomes available or the appsink
element is set to the READY/NULL state.
This function will only return samples when the appsink is in the PLAYING
state. All rendered buffers will be put in a queue so that the application
can pull samples at its own rate. Note that when the application does not
pull samples fast enough, the queued buffers could consume a lot of memory,
especially when dealing with raw video frames.
If an EOS event was received before any buffers, this function returns
`None`. Use gst_app_sink_is_eos () to check for the EOS condition.
# Returns
a `gst::Sample` or NULL when the appsink is stopped or EOS.
2020-06-19 09:49:13 +00:00

<!-- impl AppSink::fn set_buffer_list_support -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Instruct `self` to enable or disable buffer list support.
For backwards-compatibility reasons applications need to opt in
to indicate that they will be able to handle buffer lists.
Feature: `v1_12`
## `enable_lists`
enable or disable buffer list support

<!-- impl AppSink::fn set_callbacks -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set callbacks which will be executed for each new preroll, new sample and eos.
This is an alternative to using the signals, it has lower overhead and is thus
less expensive, but also less flexible.
If callbacks are installed, no signals will be emitted for performance
reasons.
2020-06-19 09:49:13 +00:00
Before 1.16.3 it was not possible to change the callbacks in a thread-safe
way.

<!-- impl AppSink::fn set_caps -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set the capabilities on the appsink element. This function takes
a copy of the caps structure. After calling this method, the sink will only
accept caps that match `caps`. If `caps` is non-fixed, or incomplete,
you must check the caps on the samples to get the actual used caps.

<!-- impl AppSink::fn set_emit_signals -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Make appsink emit the "new-preroll" and "new-sample" signals. This option is
by default disabled because signal emission is expensive and unneeded when
the application prefers to operate in pull mode.
## `emit`
the new state
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSink::fn set_max_buffers -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set the maximum amount of buffers that can be queued in `self`. After this
amount of buffers are queued in appsink, any more buffers will block upstream
elements until a sample is pulled from `self`.

<!-- struct AppSrc -->
The appsrc element can be used by applications to insert data into a
GStreamer pipeline. Unlike most GStreamer elements, appsrc provides
external API functions.
appsrc can be used by linking with the libgstapp library to access the
methods directly or by using the appsrc action signals.
Before operating appsrc, the caps property must be set to fixed caps
describing the format of the data that will be pushed with appsrc. An
exception to this is when pushing buffers with unknown caps, in which case no
caps should be set. This is typically true of file-like sources that push raw
byte buffers. If you don't want to explicitly set the caps, you can use
gst_app_src_push_sample. This method gets the caps associated with the
sample and sets them on the appsrc replacing any previously set caps (if
different from sample's caps).
The main way of handing data to the appsrc element is by calling the
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
`AppSrc::push_buffer` method or by emitting the push-buffer action signal.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
This will put the buffer onto a queue from which appsrc will read from in its
streaming thread. It is important to note that data transport will not happen
from the thread that performed the push-buffer call.
The "max-bytes" property controls how much data can be queued in appsrc
before appsrc considers the queue full. A filled internal queue will always
signal the "enough-data" signal, which signals the application that it should
stop pushing data into appsrc. The "block" property will cause appsrc to
block the push-buffer method until free data becomes available again.
When the internal queue is running out of data, the "need-data" signal is
emitted, which signals the application that it should start pushing more data
into appsrc.
In addition to the "need-data" and "enough-data" signals, appsrc can emit the
"seek-data" signal when the "stream-mode" property is set to "seekable" or
"random-access". The signal argument will contain the new desired position in
the stream expressed in the unit set with the "format" property. After
receiving the seek-data signal, the application should push-buffers from the
new position.
These signals allow the application to operate the appsrc in two different
ways:
The push mode, in which the application repeatedly calls the push-buffer/push-sample
method with a new buffer/sample. Optionally, the queue size in the appsrc
can be controlled with the enough-data and need-data signals by respectively
stopping/starting the push-buffer/push-sample calls. This is a typical
mode of operation for the stream-type "stream" and "seekable". Use this
mode when implementing various network protocols or hardware devices.
The pull mode, in which the need-data signal triggers the next push-buffer call.
This mode is typically used in the "random-access" stream-type. Use this
2020-06-19 09:49:13 +00:00
mode for file access or other randomly accessible sources. In this mode, a
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
buffer of exactly the amount of bytes given by the need-data signal should be
pushed into appsrc.
In all modes, the size property on appsrc should contain the total stream
size in bytes. Setting this property is mandatory in the random-access mode.
For the stream and seekable modes, setting this property is optional but
recommended.
When the application has finished pushing data into appsrc, it should call
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
`AppSrc::end_of_stream` or emit the end-of-stream action signal. After
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
this call, no more buffers can be pushed into appsrc until a flushing seek
occurs or the state of the appsrc has gone through READY.

Extract a buffer from the provided sample and adds it to the queue of
buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. Any
previous caps that were set on appsrc will be replaced by the caps
associated with the sample if not equal.
2019-06-24 17:28:25 +00:00
This function does not take ownership of the
sample so the sample needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free
space becomes available in the queue.

<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_callbacks -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set callbacks which will be executed when data is needed, enough data has
been collected or when a seek should be performed.
This is an alternative to using the signals, it has lower overhead and is thus
less expensive, but also less flexible.
If callbacks are installed, no signals will be emitted for performance
reasons.
2020-06-19 09:49:13 +00:00
Before 1.16.3 it was not possible to change the callbacks in a thread-safe
way.

## `callbacks`
the callbacks
## `user_data`
a user_data argument for the callbacks

<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_caps -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set the capabilities on the appsrc element. This function takes
a copy of the caps structure. After calling this method, the source will
only produce caps that match `caps`. `caps` must be fixed and the caps on the
buffers must match the caps or left NULL.
## `caps`
caps to set
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_duration -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00

<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_emit_signals -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Make appsrc emit the "new-preroll" and "new-buffer" signals. This option is
by default disabled because signal emission is expensive and unneeded when
the application prefers to operate in pull mode.
## `emit`
the new state
2017-08-17 10:10:30 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_latency -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Configure the `min` and `max` latency in `src`. If `min` is set to -1, the
default latency calculations for pseudo-live sources will be used.

<!-- impl AppSrc::fn set_stream_type -->
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
Set the stream type on `self`. For seekable streams, the "seek" signal must
be connected to.
A stream_type stream
## `type_`

<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_end_of_stream -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Notify `appsrc` that no more buffer are available.
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_enough_data -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Signal that the source has enough data. It is recommended that the
application stops calling push-buffer until the need-data signal is
emitted again to avoid excessive buffer queueing.
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_need_data -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Signal that the source needs more data. In the callback or from another
thread you should call push-buffer or end-of-stream.
`length` is just a hint and when it is set to -1, any number of bytes can be
pushed into `appsrc`.
You can call push-buffer multiple times until the enough-data signal is
fired.
## `length`
the amount of bytes needed.
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_push_buffer -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Adds a buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will
push to its source pad. This function does not take ownership of the
buffer so the buffer needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space
becomes available in the queue.
## `buffer`
a buffer to push
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_push_buffer_list -->
2018-03-20 10:36:29 +00:00
Adds a buffer list to the queue of buffers and buffer lists that the
appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function does not take
ownership of the buffer list so the buffer list needs to be unreffed
after calling this function.
When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space
becomes available in the queue.
Feature: `v1_14`
## `buffer_list`
a buffer list to push
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_push_sample -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Extract a buffer from the provided sample and adds the extracted buffer
to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will
push to its source pad. This function set the appsrc caps based on the caps
in the sample and reset the caps if they change.
Only the caps and the buffer of the provided sample are used and not
for example the segment in the sample.
This function does not take ownership of the
sample so the sample needs to be unreffed after calling this function.
When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space
becomes available in the queue.
## `sample`
a sample from which extract buffer to push
2019-12-18 14:52:00 +00:00
<!-- impl AppSrc::fn connect_seek_data -->
2017-11-26 16:37:09 +00:00
Seek to the given offset. The next push-buffer should produce buffers from
the new `offset`.
This callback is only called for seekable stream types.
## `offset`
the offset to seek to
# Returns
`true` if the seek succeeded.
2017-08-01 13:18:50 +00:00
<!-- enum AppStreamType -->
The stream type.
<!-- enum AppStreamType::variant Stream -->
No seeking is supported in the stream, such as a
live stream.

be very fast, such as data from a webserver.
<!-- enum AppStreamType::variant RandomAccess -->
The stream is seekable and seeking is fast,
such as in a local file.
