GST States and Transition Rules (graph to follow)
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This should be a map of possible state transitions and what triggers them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What the states are:
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_NEW: a new element has this, if it has nothing set except name.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_INCOMPLETE: any element that has some, but not enough
|
|
|
|
|
information to function is in this state.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_COMPLETE: if the element has enough data, but is not in any kind
|
|
|
|
|
of running or explicitely stopped state. ready to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_DISCOVERY: anything the element does in this state must be reset
|
|
|
|
|
after discovery. any data read from sync source must be cached.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_PREROLL: not a lot different from PLAYING, except sinks don't
|
|
|
|
|
render what they're getting. useful for elements that require
|
|
|
|
|
data to get in sync, such as an MPEG video decoder that needs
|
|
|
|
|
IBBPBB before starting at the next P.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_RUNNING: this is the normal state of the pipeline, where data
|
|
|
|
|
goes all the way through the pipeline normally.
|
|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_STOPPED: an explicit stop state, different from COMPLETE in that
|
|
|
|
|
the state doesn't get reset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

GST_STATE_INCOMPLETE -> GST_STATE_COMPLETE

|
|
|
|
GST_STATE_DISCOVERY -> GST_STATE_RUNNING
|
|
|
|
|
setting the state to RUNNING

|
|
|
GST_STATE_DISCOVERY -> GST_STATE_STOPPED
|
|
|
|
|
setting the state to STOPPED

|
|
|
GST_STATE_PREROLL -> GST_STATE_RUNNING
|
|
|
|
|
setting the state to RUNNING

|
|
GST_STATE_PREROLL -> GST_STATE_STOPPED
|
|
|
