some random ramblings about the event system:
|
||||
|
||||
Possible candidates for events
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- QoS
|
||||
- EOS
|
||||
- Seek
|
||||
- caps nego??
|
||||
- bufferpool get??
|
||||
- ...
|
||||
|
||||
Assumptions for events
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- They are tied to a pad.
|
||||
- get rid of gst_pad_set_*_function (except for the chain/get ones)
|
||||
- occur async to dataflow. (need locking?)
|
||||
- fixed set of events only for core features. (elements cannot abuse
|
||||
events for doing dataflow)
|
||||
|
||||
Questions
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
limit the valid directions an event can travel in? ie. Can EOS only
|
||||
travel downstream (left to right)?
|
||||
|
||||
eg. Seek travels upstream, but it makes sense to also make it travel
|
||||
downstream (the case of a disksink, where we overwrite the header)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Setting an event function
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
void gst_pad_set_event_function (GstPad *pad, gint event_mask,
|
||||
GstEventFunction *function);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
event masks:
|
||||
|
||||
typedef enum {
|
||||
GST_EVENT_EOS = (1 << 0),
|
||||
GST_EVENT_QOS = (1 << 1),
|
||||
GST_EVENT_SEEK = (1 << 2),
|
||||
GST_EVENT_CAPS = (1 << 3),
|
||||
} GstEventType;
|
||||
|
||||
Event structure
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
typedef struct {
|
||||
GstEventType type;
|
||||
GstEventMinorType minor;
|
||||
guint64 timestamp; /* also sequence number ?? */
|
||||
|
||||
union {
|
||||
/* EOS stuff */
|
||||
/* QoS stuff */
|
||||
/* Seek stuff */
|
||||
GstSeekType type; /* time, bytes, ... */
|
||||
gint64 offset;
|
||||
gint64 lenth;
|
||||
/* Caps stuff */
|
||||
GstCaps *caps;
|
||||
} data;
|
||||
} GstEvent;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
typedef enum {
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_NONE,
|
||||
/* EOS stuff */
|
||||
|
||||
/* QoS stuff */
|
||||
/* Seek stuff */
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_OFFSET,
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_TIME,
|
||||
|
||||
/* caps nego stuff */
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_CAPS_TRY,
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_CAPS_START,
|
||||
GST_EVENT_MINOR_CAPS_FINAL,
|
||||
} GstEventMinorType;
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Receiving events
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
a sample GstEventFunction, the event functions returns TRUE if the event is handled,
|
||||
FALSE otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
gboolean
|
||||
gst_anelement_handle_event (GstPad *pad, GstEvent *event)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (event->type == GST_EVENT_EOS) {
|
||||
/* do something */
|
||||
return TRUE;
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (event->type == GST_EVENT_CAPS) {
|
||||
if (event->minor == GST_EVENT_CAPS_TRY) {
|
||||
/* try using this caps structure */
|
||||
return TRUE; /* return FALSE to proxy ???*/
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return FALSE;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Default event handler for pads
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
gboolean
|
||||
gst_pad_handle_event (GstPad *pad, GstEvent *event)
|
||||
{
|
||||
GstElement *element;
|
||||
GList *pads;
|
||||
GstPad *srcpad;
|
||||
gboolean result = TRUE;
|
||||
GstPadDirection dir = GST_PAD_DIRECTION (pad);
|
||||
|
||||
g_return_val_if_fail (pad != NULL, FALSE);
|
||||
g_return_val_if_fail (GST_IS_REAL_PAD(pad), FALSE); // NOTE the restriction
|
||||
|
||||
element = GST_ELEMENT (gst_object_get_parent (GST_OBJECT (pad)));
|
||||
|
||||
/* send out the events to all pad with opposite direction */
|
||||
pads = gst_element_get_pad_list(element);
|
||||
while (pads) {
|
||||
otherpad = GST_PAD(pads->data);
|
||||
pads = g_list_next(pads);
|
||||
|
||||
if (gst_pad_get_direction(otherpad) != dir) {
|
||||
result &= gst_pad_send_event (GST_REAL_PAD(otherpad), event);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* result is combined result of all handlers? */
|
||||
return result;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
