The various known types of Closed Caption (CC).
<!-- enum VideoCaptionType::variant Unknown -->
Unknown type of CC
<!-- enum VideoCaptionType::variant Cea608Raw -->
CEA-608 as byte pairs. Note that
 this format is not recommended since is does not specify to
 which field the caption comes from and therefore assumes
 it comes from the first field (and that there is no information
 on the second field). Use `VideoCaptionType::Cea708Raw`
 if you wish to store CEA-608 from two fields and prefix each byte pair
 with 0xFC for the first field and 0xFD for the second field.
<!-- enum VideoCaptionType::variant Cea608S3341a -->
CEA-608 as byte triplets as defined
 in SMPTE S334-1 Annex A. The second and third byte of the byte triplet
 is the raw CEA608 data, the first byte is a bitfield: The top/7th bit is
 0 for the second field, 1 for the first field, bit 6 and 5 are 0 and
 bits 4 to 0 are a 5 bit unsigned integer that represents the line
 offset relative to the base-line of the original image format (line 9
 for 525-line field 1, line 272 for 525-line field 2, line 5 for
 625-line field 1 and line 318 for 625-line field 2).
<!-- enum VideoCaptionType::variant Cea708Raw -->

<!-- struct VideoDecoder -->
This base class is for video decoders turning encoded data into raw video
frames.

The GstVideoDecoder base class and derived subclasses should cooperate as
follows:

## Configuration

 * Initially, GstVideoDecoder calls `start` when the decoder element
 is activated, which allows the subclass to perform any global setup.

 * GstVideoDecoder calls `set_format` to inform the subclass of caps
 describing input video data that it is about to receive, including
 possibly configuration data.
 While unlikely, it might be called more than once, if changing input
 parameters require reconfiguration.

 * Incoming data buffers are processed as needed, described in Data
 Processing below.

 * GstVideoDecoder calls `stop` at end of all processing.

## Data processing

 * The base class gathers input data, and optionally allows subclass
 to parse this into subsequently manageable chunks, typically
 corresponding to and referred to as 'frames'.

 * Each input frame is provided in turn to the subclass' `handle_frame`
 callback.
 The ownership of the frame is given to the `handle_frame` callback.

 * If codec processing results in decoded data, the subclass should call
 `VideoDecoder::finish_frame` to have decoded data pushed.
 downstream. Otherwise, the subclass must call
 `VideoDecoder::drop_frame`, to allow the base class to do timestamp
 and offset tracking, and possibly to requeue the frame for a later
 attempt in the case of reverse playback.

## Shutdown phase

 * The GstVideoDecoder class calls `stop` to inform the subclass that data
 parsing will be stopped.

## Additional Notes

 * Seeking/Flushing

 * When the pipeline is seeked or otherwise flushed, the subclass is
 informed via a call to its `reset` callback, with the hard parameter
 set to true. This indicates the subclass should drop any internal data
 queues and timestamps and prepare for a fresh set of buffers to arrive
 for parsing and decoding.

 * End Of Stream

 * At end-of-stream, the subclass `parse` function may be called some final
 times with the at_eos parameter set to true, indicating that the element
 should not expect any more data to be arriving, and it should parse and
 remaining frames and call `VideoDecoder::have_frame` if possible.

The subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for
source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also
needs to provide information about the ouptput caps, when they are known.
This may be when the base class calls the subclass' `set_format` function,
though it might be during decoding, before calling
`VideoDecoder::finish_frame`. This is done via
`VideoDecoder::set_output_state`

The subclass is also responsible for providing (presentation) timestamps
(likely based on corresponding input ones). If that is not applicable
or possible, the base class provides limited framerate based interpolation.

Similarly, the base class provides some limited (legacy) seeking support
if specifically requested by the subclass, as full-fledged support
should rather be left to upstream demuxer, parser or alike. This simple
approach caters for seeking and duration reporting using estimated input
bitrates. To enable it, a subclass should call
`VideoDecoderExt::set_estimate_rate` to enable handling of incoming
byte-streams.

The base class provides some support for reverse playback, in particular
in case incoming data is not packetized or upstream does not provide
fragments on keyframe boundaries. However, the subclass should then be
prepared for the parsing and frame processing stage to occur separately
(in normal forward processing, the latter immediately follows the former),
The subclass also needs to ensure the parsing stage properly marks
keyframes, unless it knows the upstream elements will do so properly for
incoming data.

The bare minimum that a functional subclass needs to implement is:

 * Provide pad templates
 * Inform the base class of output caps via
 `VideoDecoder::set_output_state`

 * Parse input data, if it is not considered packetized from upstream
 Data will be provided to `parse` which should invoke
 `VideoDecoderExt::add_to_frame` and `VideoDecoder::have_frame` to
 separate the data belonging to each video frame.

 * Accept data in `handle_frame` and provide decoded results to
 `VideoDecoder::finish_frame`, or call `VideoDecoder::drop_frame`.

## `max_latency`
maximum latency
<!-- trait VideoDecoderExt::fn set_max_errors -->
Sets numbers of tolerated decoder errors, where a tolerated one is then only
warned about, but more than tolerated will lead to fatal error. You can set
-1 for never returning fatal errors. Default is set to
GST_VIDEO_DECODER_MAX_ERRORS.

The '-1' option was added in 1.4
## `num`
max tolerated errors
<!-- trait VideoDecoderExt::fn set_needs_format -->
Configures decoder format needs. If enabled, subclass needs to be
negotiated with format caps before it can process any data. It will then
never be handed any data before it has been configured.
Otherwise, it might be handed data without having been configured and
is then expected being able to do so either by default
or based on the input data.
## `enabled`
new state
<!-- trait VideoDecoderExt::fn set_output_state -->
Creates a new `VideoCodecState` with the specified `fmt`, `width` and `height`
as the output state for the decoder.
Any previously set output state on `self` will be replaced by the newly
created one.

If the subclass wishes to copy over existing fields (like pixel aspec ratio,
or framerate) from an existing `VideoCodecState`, it can be provided as a
`reference`.

If the subclass wishes to override some fields from the output state (like
pixel-aspect-ratio or framerate) it can do so on the returned `VideoCodecState`.

The new output state will only take effect (set on pads and buffers) starting
from the next call to `VideoDecoder::finish_frame`().

handler with `GST_PAD_SET_ACCEPT_INTERSECT` and
`GST_PAD_SET_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE`
## `use_`
if the default pad accept-caps query handling should be used
<!-- struct VideoEncoder -->
This base class is for video encoders turning raw video into
encoded video data.

GstVideoEncoder and subclass should cooperate as follows.

## Configuration

 * Initially, GstVideoEncoder calls `start` when the encoder element
 is activated, which allows subclass to perform any global setup.
 * GstVideoEncoder calls `set_format` to inform subclass of the format
 of input video data that it is about to receive. Subclass should
 setup for encoding and configure base class as appropriate
 (e.g. latency). While unlikely, it might be called more than once,
 if changing input parameters require reconfiguration. Baseclass
 will ensure that processing of current configuration is finished.
 * GstVideoEncoder calls `stop` at end of all processing.

## Data processing

 * Base class collects input data and metadata into a frame and hands
 this to subclass' `handle_frame`.

 * If codec processing results in encoded data, subclass should call
 `VideoEncoder::finish_frame` to have encoded data pushed
 downstream.

 * If implemented, baseclass calls subclass `pre_push` just prior to
 pushing to allow subclasses to modify some metadata on the buffer.
 If it returns GST_FLOW_OK, the buffer is pushed downstream.

 * GstVideoEncoderClass will handle both srcpad and sinkpad events.
 Sink events will be passed to subclass if `event` callback has been
 provided.

## Shutdown phase

 * GstVideoEncoder class calls `stop` to inform the subclass that data
 parsing will be stopped.

Subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for
source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It should
also be able to provide fixed src pad caps in `getcaps` by the time it calls
`VideoEncoder::finish_frame`.

Things that subclass need to take care of:

 * Provide pad templates
 * Provide source pad caps before pushing the first buffer
 * Accept data in `handle_frame` and provide encoded results to
 `VideoEncoder::finish_frame`.


The `VideoEncoder:qos` property will enable the Quality-of-Service
features of the encoder which gather statistics about the real-time
performance of the downstream elements. If enabled, subclasses can
use `VideoEncoderExt::get_max_encode_time` to check if input frames
are already late and drop them right away to give a chance to the
pipeline to catch up.

or framerate) from an existing `VideoCodecState`, it can be provided as a
`reference`.

If the subclass wishes to override some fields from the output state (like
pixel-aspect-ratio or framerate) it can do so on the returned `VideoCodecState`.

The new output state will only take effect (set on pads and buffers) starting
from the next call to `VideoEncoder::finish_frame`().
## `caps`
the `gst::Caps` to use for the output
## `reference`
An optional reference `VideoCodecState`

# Returns

the newly configured output state.
<!-- trait VideoEncoderExt::fn set_qos_enabled -->
Configures `self` to handle Quality-of-Service events from downstream.

Feature: `v1_14`

## `enabled`
the new qos value.
<!-- enum VideoFieldOrder -->
Field order of interlaced content. This is only valid for
interlace-mode=interleaved and not interlace-mode=mixed. In the case of
mixed or GST_VIDEO_FIELD_ORDER_UNKOWN, the field order is signalled via
buffer flags.
<!-- enum VideoFieldOrder::variant Unknown -->
unknown field order for interlaced content.
 The actual field order is signalled via buffer flags.
<!-- enum VideoFieldOrder::variant TopFieldFirst -->
top field is first
<!-- enum VideoFieldOrder::variant BottomFieldFirst -->
bottom field is first

Feature: `v1_12`

<!-- struct VideoFilter -->
Provides useful functions and a base class for video filters.

The videofilter will by default enable QoS on the parent GstBaseTransform
to implement frame dropping.

<!-- struct VideoFormatInfo -->
Information for a video format.
<!-- struct VideoFrame -->
A video frame obtained from `VideoFrame::map`
<!-- impl VideoFrame::fn copy -->
Copy the contents from `src` to `self`.
## `src`
a `VideoFrame`

# Returns

TRUE if the contents could be copied.
<!-- impl VideoFrame::fn copy_plane -->
Copy the plane with index `plane` from `src` to `self`.
## `src`
a `VideoFrame`
## `plane`
a plane

# Returns

TRUE if the contents could be copied.
<!-- impl VideoFrame::fn map -->
Use `info` and `buffer` to fill in the values of `self`. `self` is usually
allocated on the stack, and you will pass the address to the `VideoFrame`
structure allocated on the stack; `VideoFrame::map` will then fill in
the structures with the various video-specific information you need to access
the pixels of the video buffer. You can then use accessor macros such as
GST_VIDEO_FRAME_COMP_DATA(), GST_VIDEO_FRAME_PLANE_DATA(),
GST_VIDEO_FRAME_COMP_STRIDE(), GST_VIDEO_FRAME_PLANE_STRIDE() etc.
to get to the pixels.


```C
  GstVideoFrame vframe;
  ...
  // set RGB pixels to black one at a time
  if (gst_video_frame_map (&amp;vframe, video_info, video_buffer, GST_MAP_WRITE)) {
    guint8 *pixels = GST_VIDEO_FRAME_PLANE_DATA (vframe, 0);
    guint stride = GST_VIDEO_FRAME_PLANE_STRIDE (vframe, 0);
    guint pixel_stride = GST_VIDEO_FRAME_COMP_PSTRIDE (vframe, 0);

    for (h = 0; h < height; ++h) {
      for (w = 0; w < width; ++w) {
        guint8 *pixel = pixels + h * stride + w * pixel_stride;

        memset (pixel, 0, pixel_stride);
      }
    }

    gst_video_frame_unmap (&amp;vframe);
  }
  ...
```

All video planes of `buffer` will be mapped and the pointers will be set in
`self`->data.

The purpose of this function is to make it easy for you to get to the video
pixels in a generic way, without you having to worry too much about details
such as whether the video data is allocated in one contiguous memory chunk
or multiple memory chunks (e.g. one for each plane); or if custom strides
and custom plane offsets are used or not (as signalled by GstVideoMeta on
each buffer). This function will just fill the `VideoFrame` structure
with the right values and if you use the accessor macros everything will
just work and you can access the data easily. It also maps the underlying
memory chunks for you.
## `info`
a `VideoInfo`
## `buffer`
the buffer to map
## `flags`
`gst::MapFlags`

# Returns

`true` on success.
<!-- impl VideoFrame::fn map_id -->
Use `info` and `buffer` to fill in the values of `self` with the video frame
information of frame `id`.

When `id` is -1, the default frame is mapped. When `id` != -1, this function
will return `false` when there is no GstVideoMeta with that id.

All video planes of `buffer` will be mapped and the pointers will be set in
`self`->data.
## `info`
a `VideoInfo`
## `buffer`
the buffer to map
## `id`
the frame id to map
## `flags`
`gst::MapFlags`

# Returns

`true` on success.
<!-- impl VideoFrame::fn unmap -->
Unmap the memory previously mapped with gst_video_frame_map.
<!-- struct VideoInfo -->
Information describing image properties. This information can be filled
in from GstCaps with `VideoInfo::from_caps`. The information is also used
to store the specific video info when mapping a video frame with
`VideoFrame::map`.

Use the provided macros to access the info in this structure.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn new -->
Allocate a new `VideoInfo` that is also initialized with
`VideoInfo::init`.

# Returns

a new `VideoInfo`. free with `VideoInfo::free`.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn align -->
Adjust the offset and stride fields in `self` so that the padding and
stride alignment in `align` is respected.

Extra padding will be added to the right side when stride alignment padding
is required and `align` will be updated with the new padding values.
## `align`
alignment parameters

# Returns

`false` if alignment could not be applied, e.g. because the
 size of a frame can't be represented as a 32 bit integer (Since: 1.12)
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn convert -->
Converts among various `gst::Format` types. This function handles
GST_FORMAT_BYTES, GST_FORMAT_TIME, and GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT. For
raw video, GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT corresponds to video frames. This
function can be used to handle pad queries of the type GST_QUERY_CONVERT.
## `src_format`
`gst::Format` of the `src_value`
## `src_value`
value to convert
## `dest_format`
`gst::Format` of the `dest_value`
## `dest_value`
pointer to destination value

# Returns

TRUE if the conversion was successful.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn copy -->
Copy a GstVideoInfo structure.

# Returns

a new `VideoInfo`. free with gst_video_info_free.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn free -->
Free a GstVideoInfo structure previously allocated with `VideoInfo::new`
or `VideoInfo::copy`.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn from_caps -->
Parse `caps` and update `self`.
## `caps`
a `gst::Caps`

# Returns

TRUE if `caps` could be parsed
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn init -->
Initialize `self` with default values.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn is_equal -->
Compares two `VideoInfo` and returns whether they are equal or not
## `other`
a `VideoInfo`

# Returns

`true` if `self` and `other` are equal, else `false`.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn set_format -->
Set the default info for a video frame of `format` and `width` and `height`.

Note: This initializes `self` first, no values are preserved. This function
does not set the offsets correctly for interlaced vertically
subsampled formats.
## `format`
the format
## `width`
a width
## `height`
a height

# Returns

`false` if the returned video info is invalid, e.g. because the
 size of a frame can't be represented as a 32 bit integer (Since: 1.12)
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn set_interlaced_format -->
Same as `VideoInfo::set_format` but also allowing to set the interlaced
mode.

Feature: `v1_16`

## `format`
the format
## `mode`
a `VideoInterlaceMode`
## `width`
a width
## `height`
a height

# Returns

`false` if the returned video info is invalid, e.g. because the
 size of a frame can't be represented as a 32 bit integer.
<!-- impl VideoInfo::fn to_caps -->
Convert the values of `self` into a `gst::Caps`.

# Returns

a new `gst::Caps` containing the info of `self`.
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode -->
The possible values of the `VideoInterlaceMode` describing the interlace
mode of the stream.
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode::variant Progressive -->
all frames are progressive
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode::variant Interleaved -->
2 fields are interleaved in one video
 frame. Extra buffer flags describe the field order.
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode::variant Mixed -->
frames contains both interlaced and
 progressive video, the buffer flags describe the frame and fields.
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode::variant Fields -->
2 fields are stored in one buffer, use the
 frame ID to get access to the required field. For multiview (the
 'views' property > 1) the fields of view N can be found at frame ID
 (N * 2) and (N * 2) + 1.
 Each field has only half the amount of lines as noted in the
 height property. This mode requires multiple GstVideoMeta metadata
 to describe the fields.
<!-- enum VideoInterlaceMode::variant Alternate -->
1 field is stored in one buffer,
 `GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_TF` or `GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_BF` indicates if
 the buffer is carrying the top or bottom field, respectively. The top and
 bottom buffers are expected to alternate in the pipeline, with this mode
 (Since: 1.16).
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking -->
`VideoMultiviewFramePacking` represents the subset of `VideoMultiviewMode`
values that can be applied to any video frame without needing extra metadata.
It can be used by elements that provide a property to override the
multiview interpretation of a video stream when the video doesn't contain
any markers.

This enum is used (for example) on playbin, to re-interpret a played
video stream as a stereoscopic video. The individual enum values are
equivalent to and have the same value as the matching `VideoMultiviewMode`.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant None -->
A special value indicating
no frame packing info.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant Mono -->

provided in the left and right half of the frame respectively.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant SideBySideQuincunx -->

views are provided in the left and right half of the frame, but
have been sampled using quincunx method, with half-pixel offset
between the 2 views.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant ColumnInterleaved -->
Alternating vertical
columns of pixels represent the left and right eye view respectively.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant RowInterleaved -->
Alternating horizontal
rows of pixels represent the left and right eye view respectively.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant TopBottom -->
The top half of the frame
contains the left eye, and the bottom half the right eye.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewFramePacking::variant Checkerboard -->
Pixels are arranged with
alternating pixels representing left and right eye views in a
checkerboard fashion.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode -->
All possible stereoscopic 3D and multiview representations.
In conjunction with `VideoMultiviewFlags`, describes how
multiview content is being transported in the stream.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant None -->
A special value indicating
no multiview information. Used in GstVideoInfo and other places to
indicate that no specific multiview handling has been requested or
provided. This value is never carried on caps.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant Mono -->
All frames are monoscopic.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant Left -->
All frames represent a left-eye view.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant Right -->

<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant SideBySideQuincunx -->
Left and right eye
views are provided in the left and right half of the frame, but
have been sampled using quincunx method, with half-pixel offset
between the 2 views.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant ColumnInterleaved -->
Alternating vertical
columns of pixels represent the left and right eye view respectively.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant RowInterleaved -->
Alternating horizontal
rows of pixels represent the left and right eye view respectively.

The top half of the frame
contains the left eye, and the bottom half the right eye.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant Checkerboard -->
Pixels are arranged with
alternating pixels representing left and right eye views in a
checkerboard fashion.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant FrameByFrame -->
Left and right eye views
are provided in separate frames alternately.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant MultiviewFrameByFrame -->
Multiple
independent views are provided in separate frames in sequence.
This method only applies to raw video buffers at the moment.
Specific view identification is via the `GstVideoMultiviewMeta`
and `VideoMeta`(s) on raw video buffers.
<!-- enum VideoMultiviewMode::variant Separated -->
Multiple views are
provided as separate `gst::Memory` framebuffers attached to each
`gst::Buffer`, described by the `GstVideoMultiviewMeta`
and `VideoMeta`(s)
<!-- struct VideoOverlay -->
The `VideoOverlay` interface is used for 2 main purposes :

* To get a grab on the Window where the video sink element is going to render.
 This is achieved by either being informed about the Window identifier that
 the video sink element generated, or by forcing the video sink element to use
 a specific Window identifier for rendering.
* To force a redrawing of the latest video frame the video sink element
 displayed on the Window. Indeed if the `gst::Pipeline` is in `gst::State::Paused`
 state, moving the Window around will damage its content. Application
 developers will want to handle the Expose events themselves and force the
 video sink element to refresh the Window's content.

Using the Window created by the video sink is probably the simplest scenario,
in some cases, though, it might not be flexible enough for application
developers if they need to catch events such as mouse moves and button
clicks.

Setting a specific Window identifier on the video sink element is the most
flexible solution but it has some issues. Indeed the application needs to set
its Window identifier at the right time to avoid internal Window creation
from the video sink element. To solve this issue a `gst::Message` is posted on
the bus to inform the application that it should set the Window identifier
immediately. Here is an example on how to do that correctly:

```text
static GstBusSyncReply
create_window (GstBus * bus, GstMessage * message, GstPipeline * pipeline)
{
 // ignore anything but 'prepare-window-handle' element messages
 if (!gst_is_video_overlay_prepare_window_handle_message (message))
   return GST_BUS_PASS;

 win = XCreateSimpleWindow (disp, root, 0, 0, 320, 240, 0, 0, 0);

 XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap (disp, win, None);

 XMapRaised (disp, win);

 XSync (disp, FALSE);

 gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle (GST_VIDEO_OVERLAY (GST_MESSAGE_SRC (message)),
     win);

 gst_message_unref (message);

 return GST_BUS_DROP;
}
...
int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
...
 bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (pipeline));
 gst_bus_set_sync_handler (bus, (GstBusSyncHandler) create_window, pipeline,
        NULL);
...
}
```

## Two basic usage scenarios

There are two basic usage scenarios: in the simplest case, the application
uses `playbin` or `plasink` or knows exactly what particular element is used
for video output, which is usually the case when the application creates
the videosink to use (e.g. `xvimagesink`, `ximagesink`, etc.) itself; in this
case, the application can just create the videosink element, create and
realize the window to render the video on and then
call `VideoOverlay::set_window_handle` directly with the XID or native
window handle, before starting up the pipeline.
As `playbin` and `playsink` implement the video overlay interface and proxy
it transparently to the actual video sink even if it is created later, this
case also applies when using these elements.

In the other and more common case, the application does not know in advance
what GStreamer video sink element will be used for video output. This is
usually the case when an element such as `autovideosink` is used.
In this case, the video sink element itself is created
asynchronously from a GStreamer streaming thread some time after the
pipeline has been started up. When that happens, however, the video sink
will need to know right then whether to render onto an already existing
application window or whether to create its own window. This is when it
posts a prepare-window-handle message, and that is also why this message needs
to be handled in a sync bus handler which will be called from the streaming
thread directly (because the video sink will need an answer right then).

As response to the prepare-window-handle element message in the bus sync
handler, the application may use `VideoOverlay::set_window_handle` to tell
the video sink to render onto an existing window surface. At this point the
application should already have obtained the window handle / XID, so it
just needs to set it. It is generally not advisable to call any GUI toolkit
functions or window system functions from the streaming thread in which the
prepare-window-handle message is handled, because most GUI toolkits and
windowing systems are not thread-safe at all and a lot of care would be
required to co-ordinate the toolkit and window system calls of the
different threads (Gtk+ users please note: prior to Gtk+ 2.18
GDK_WINDOW_XID() was just a simple structure access, so generally fine to do
within the bus sync handler; this macro was changed to a function call in
Gtk+ 2.18 and later, which is likely to cause problems when called from a
sync handler; see below for a better approach without GDK_WINDOW_XID()
used in the callback).

# Implements

[`VideoOverlayExt`](trait.VideoOverlayExt.html)
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt -->
Trait containing all `VideoOverlay` methods.

# Implementors

[`VideoOverlay`](struct.VideoOverlay.html)
<!-- impl VideoOverlay::fn install_properties -->
This helper shall be used by classes implementing the `VideoOverlay`
interface that want the render rectangle to be controllable using
properties. This helper will install "render-rectangle" property into the
class.

Feature: `v1_14`

## `oclass`
The class on which the properties will be installed
## `last_prop_id`
The first free property ID to use
<!-- impl VideoOverlay::fn set_property -->
This helper shall be used by classes implementing the `VideoOverlay`
interface that want the render rectangle to be controllable using
properties. This helper will parse and set the render rectangle calling
`VideoOverlay::set_render_rectangle`.

Feature: `v1_14`

## `object`
The instance on which the property is set
## `last_prop_id`
The highest property ID.
## `property_id`
The property ID
## `value`
The `gobject::Value` to be set

# Returns

`true` if the `property_id` matches the GstVideoOverlay property
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn expose -->
Tell an overlay that it has been exposed. This will redraw the current frame
in the drawable even if the pipeline is PAUSED.
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn got_window_handle -->
This will post a "have-window-handle" element message on the bus.

This function should only be used by video overlay plugin developers.
## `handle`
a platform-specific handle referencing the window
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn handle_events -->
Tell an overlay that it should handle events from the window system. These
events are forwarded upstream as navigation events. In some window system,
events are not propagated in the window hierarchy if a client is listening
for them. This method allows you to disable events handling completely
from the `VideoOverlay`.
## `handle_events`
a `gboolean` indicating if events should be handled or not.
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn prepare_window_handle -->
This will post a "prepare-window-handle" element message on the bus
to give applications an opportunity to call
`VideoOverlay::set_window_handle` before a plugin creates its own
window.

This function should only be used by video overlay plugin developers.
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn set_render_rectangle -->
Configure a subregion as a video target within the window set by
`VideoOverlay::set_window_handle`. If this is not used or not supported
the video will fill the area of the window set as the overlay to 100%.
By specifying the rectangle, the video can be overlayed to a specific region
of that window only. After setting the new rectangle one should call
`VideoOverlay::expose` to force a redraw. To unset the region pass -1 for
the `width` and `height` parameters.

This method is needed for non fullscreen video overlay in UI toolkits that
do not support subwindows.
## `x`
the horizontal offset of the render area inside the window
## `y`
the vertical offset of the render area inside the window
## `width`
the width of the render area inside the window
## `height`
the height of the render area inside the window

# Returns

`false` if not supported by the sink.
<!-- trait VideoOverlayExt::fn set_window_handle -->
This will call the video overlay's set_window_handle method. You
should use this method to tell to an overlay to display video output to a
specific window (e.g. an XWindow on X11). Passing 0 as the `handle` will
tell the overlay to stop using that window and create an internal one.
## `handle`
a handle referencing the window.
<!-- enum VideoTileMode -->
Enum value describing the available tiling modes.
<!-- enum VideoTileMode::variant Unknown -->
Unknown or unset tile mode
<!-- enum VideoTileMode::variant Zflipz2x2 -->
Every four adjacent blocks - two
 horizontally and two vertically are grouped together and are located
 in memory in Z or flipped Z order. In case of odd rows, the last row
 of blocks is arranged in linear order.
<!-- struct VideoTimeCode -->
`field_count` must be 0 for progressive video and 1 or 2 for interlaced.

A representation of a SMPTE time code.

`hours` must be positive and less than 24. Will wrap around otherwise.
`minutes` and `seconds` must be positive and less than 60.
`frames` must be less than or equal to `config.fps_n` / `config.fps_d`
These values are *NOT* automatically normalized.

Feature: `v1_10`
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn new -->
`field_count` is 0 for progressive, 1 or 2 for interlaced.
`latest_daiy_jam` reference is stolen from caller.

Feature: `v1_10`

## `fps_n`
Numerator of the frame rate
## `fps_d`
Denominator of the frame rate
## `latest_daily_jam`
The latest daily jam of the `VideoTimeCode`
## `flags`
`VideoTimeCodeFlags`
## `hours`
the hours field of `VideoTimeCode`
## `minutes`
the minutes field of `VideoTimeCode`
## `seconds`
the seconds field of `VideoTimeCode`
## `frames`
the frames field of `VideoTimeCode`
## `field_count`
Interlaced video field count

# Returns

a new `VideoTimeCode` with the given values.
The values are not checked for being in a valid range. To see if your
timecode actually has valid content, use `VideoTimeCode::is_valid`.
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn new_empty -->

Feature: `v1_10`


# Returns

a new empty, invalid `VideoTimeCode`
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn new_from_date_time -->
The resulting config->latest_daily_jam is set to
midnight, and timecode is set to the given time.

This might return a completely invalid timecode, use
`VideoTimeCode::new_from_date_time_full` to ensure
that you would get `None` instead in that case.

Feature: `v1_12`

## `fps_n`
Numerator of the frame rate
## `fps_d`
Denominator of the frame rate
## `dt`
`glib::DateTime` to convert
## `flags`
`VideoTimeCodeFlags`
## `field_count`
Interlaced video field count

# Returns

the `VideoTimeCode` representation of `dt`.
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn new_from_date_time_full -->
The resulting config->latest_daily_jam is set to
midnight, and timecode is set to the given time.

Feature: `v1_16`

## `fps_n`
Numerator of the frame rate
## `fps_d`
Denominator of the frame rate
## `dt`
`glib::DateTime` to convert
## `flags`
`VideoTimeCodeFlags`
## `field_count`
Interlaced video field count

# Returns

the `VideoTimeCode` representation of `dt`, or `None` if
 no valid timecode could be created.
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn new_from_string -->

Feature: `v1_12`

## `tc_str`
The string that represents the `VideoTimeCode`

# Returns

a new `VideoTimeCode` from the given string or `None`
 if the string could not be passed.
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn add_frames -->
Adds or subtracts `frames` amount of frames to `self`. tc needs to
contain valid data, as verified by `VideoTimeCode::is_valid`.

Feature: `v1_10`

## `frames`
How many frames to add or subtract
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn add_interval -->
This makes a component-wise addition of `tc_inter` to `self`. For example,
adding ("01:02:03:04", "00:01:00:00") will return "01:03:03:04".
When it comes to drop-frame timecodes,
adding ("00:00:00;00", "00:01:00:00") will return "00:01:00;02"
because of drop-frame oddities. However,
adding ("00:09:00;02", "00:01:00:00") will return "00:10:00;00"
because this time we can have an exact minute.

Feature: `v1_12`

## `tc_inter`
The `VideoTimeCodeInterval` to add to `self`.
The interval must contain valid values, except that for drop-frame
timecode, it may also contain timecodes which would normally
be dropped. These are then corrected to the next reasonable timecode.

# Returns

A new `VideoTimeCode` with `tc_inter` added or `None`
 if the interval can't be added.
<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn clear -->
Initializes `self` with empty/zero/NULL values and frees any memory
it might currently use.

Feature: `v1_10`

<!-- impl VideoTimeCode::fn compare -->
Compares `self` and `tc2`. If both have latest daily jam information, it is
taken into account. Otherwise, it is assumed that the daily jam of both
`self` and `tc2` was at the same time. Both time codes must be valid.

Feature: `v1_10`

## `tc2`
another valid `VideoTimeCode`

# Returns

1 if `self` is after `tc2`, -1 if `self` is before `tc2`, 0 otherwise.
