The size of the packets sent between network clocks. #GstNetAddressMeta can be used to store a network address (a #GSocketAddress) in a #GstBuffer so that it network elements can track the to and from address of the buffer. the parent type a #GSocketAddress stored as metadata #GstNetClientClock implements a custom #GstClock that synchronizes its time to a remote time provider such as #GstNetTimeProvider. #GstNtpClock implements a #GstClock that synchronizes its time to a remote NTPv4 server. A new clock is created with gst_net_client_clock_new() or gst_ntp_clock_new(), which takes the address and port of the remote time provider along with a name and an initial time. This clock will poll the time provider and will update its calibration parameters based on the local and remote observations. The "round-trip" property limits the maximum round trip packets can take. Various parameters of the clock can be configured with the parent #GstClock "timeout", "window-size" and "window-threshold" object properties. A #GstNetClientClock and #GstNtpClock is typically set on a #GstPipeline with gst_pipeline_use_clock(). If you set a #GstBus on the clock via the "bus" object property, it will send @GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT messages with an attached #GstStructure containing statistics about clock accuracy and network traffic. Create a new #GstNetClientInternalClock that will report the time provided by the #GstNetTimeProvider on @remote_address and @remote_port. a new #GstClock that receives a time from the remote clock. a name for the clock the address or hostname of the remote clock provider the port of the remote clock provider initial time of the clock #GstNetControlMessageMeta can be used to store control messages (ancillary data) which was received with or is to be sent alongside the buffer data. When used with socket sinks and sources which understand this meta it allows sending and receiving ancillary data such as unix credentials (See #GUnixCredentialsMessage) and Unix file descriptions (See #GUnixFDMessage). the parent type a #GSocketControlMessage stored as metadata Various functions for receiving, sending an serializing #GstNetTimePacket structures. the local time when this packet was sent the remote time observation Creates a new #GstNetTimePacket from a buffer received over the network.

Free with gst_net_time_packet_free() when done. socket to receive the time packet on address of variable to return sender address This object exposes the time of a #GstClock on the network. A #GstNetTimeProvider is created with gst_net_time_provider_new() which takes a #GstClock, an address and a port number as arguments. After creating the object, a client clock such as #GstNetClientClock can query the exposed clock over the network for its values. The #GstNetTimeProvider typically wraps the clock used by a #GstPipeline. Allows network clients to get the current time of @clock. the new #GstNetTimeProvider, or NULL on error a #GstClock to export over the network an address to bind on as a dotted quad (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), IPv6 address, or NULL to bind to all addresses a port to bind on, or 0 to let the kernel choose Create a new #GstNtpClock that will report the time provided by the NTPv4 server on @remote_address and @remote_port. a new #GstClock that receives a time from the remote clock. a name for the clock the address or hostname of the remote clock provider the port of the remote clock provider initial time of the clock PTP clock identification that can be passed to gst_ptp_init() to automatically select one based on the MAC address of interfaces GstPtpClock implements a PTP (IEEE1588:2008) ordinary clock in slave-only mode, that allows a GStreamer pipeline to synchronize to a PTP network clock in some specific domain. The PTP subsystem can be initialized with gst_ptp_init(), which then starts a helper process to do the actual communication via the PTP ports. This is required as PTP listens on ports < 1024 and thus requires special privileges. Once this helper process is started, the main process will synchronize to all PTP domains that are detected on the selected interfaces. gst_ptp_clock_new() then allows to create a GstClock that provides the PTP time from a master clock inside a specific PTP domain. This clock will only return valid timestamps once the timestamps in the PTP domain are known. To check this, you can use gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), the GstClock::synced signal and gst_clock_is_synced(). To gather statistics about the PTP clock synchronization, gst_ptp_statistics_callback_add() can be used. This gives the application the possibility to collect all kinds of statistics from the clock synchronization. Creates a new PTP clock instance that exports the PTP time of the master clock in @domain. This clock can be slaved to other clocks as needed. If gst_ptp_init() was not called before, this will call gst_ptp_init() with default parameters. This clock only returns valid timestamps after it received the first times from the PTP master clock on the network. Once this happens the GstPtpClock::internal-clock property will become non-NULL. You can check this with gst_clock_wait_for_sync(), the GstClock::synced signal and gst_clock_is_synced().
