They also need to reply * to the neighboors element queries, so the context can be shared without * the application help. * * * Elements that are guarantied to have both upstream and downstream * neighboors element implementing the #GstVideoContext (like the gloverlay * element in gst-plugins-opengl) is not required to also implement the * interface. Relying on neighboors query shall be sufficient (see * gst_video_context_run_query()). * * * The query is an application query with a structure name set to * "prepare-video-context" and an array of supported video context types set * in the field named "types". This query shall be send downstream and * upstream, iterating the pads in order to find neighboors regardless of a * static (sink to src) or a dynamic (src to sink) activation. Element should * used the helpers method gst_video_context_prepare() (or * gst_video_context_run_query() if no GstVideoContext interface) to * correctly execute the query . The result is set using the query helper * functions, the structures fields name being "video-context-type" as * string and "video-context" as a #GValue. * * * If the query is not handled by any neighboor, the element should ask the * application using the "prepare-video-context" message. The application * may then use the interface to set the video context information. If no * context was set, the element shall create one using default configuration. * Elements with multiple src or sink pad shall implement proper locking to * prevent the race of parallel queries being replied. * * * Well known video-context are: "x11-display-name" a string representing the * X11 display to use, "x11-display" the X11 Display structure, "va-display", * the VADisplay structure and more. * * * * * For Application * * In the case there is no neighboor element with video context to share, * the element will first turn toward the application, by sending a * "prepare-video-context" message. This message is sent along with a list * of supported display types. The application can optionally reply to this * message by calling appropriate setter through the #GstVideoContext * interface. If the application supports more then one video context type, * it should choose the first one to occure in the supported list. It's * important to remember that the message is delivered from the streaming * thread, and appropriate locking should be considered. If the application * does not have a video context to share, the element will simply allocate * one base on default settings. Usually, only applications using OpenGL * base sink, or running on special X11 display need to share a video context. * * Applications sharing X11 Display structure should always initialize the * X11 threading support using XInitThreads() as GStreamer will need to * manipulate the display from a separeate threads. * * * * Example using ClutterVideoGstVideoSink * * This example is for user of ClutterGstVideoSink element, the * ClutterGstPlayer object transparently handle this. * * |[ * #if CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11 * static GstBusSyncReply * on_sync_message (GstBus * bus, GstMessage * message, gpointer user_data) * { * Display *display = user_data; * GstVideoContext *context; * const gchar **types; * * if (gst_video_context_message_parse_prepare (message, &types, &context)) { * gint i; * * for (i = 0; types[i]; i++) { * * if (!strcmp(types[i], "x11-display")) { * gst_video_context_set_context_pointer (context, "x11-display", display); * } * else if (!strcmp(types[i], "x11-display-name")) { * gst_video_context_set_context_string (context, "x11-display-name", * DisplayString (display)); * } else { * continue; * } * * gst_message_unref (message); * return GST_BUS_DROP; * } * } * * return GST_BUS_PASS; * } * #endif * * gint * main (gint argc, gchar **argv) * { * GstBin *pipeline; * GstBus *bus; * * ... * * bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (pipeline)); * * #if CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11 * gst_bus_set_sync_handler (priv->bus, on_sync_message, * clutter_x11_get_default_display ()); * #endif * * gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (priv->bus)); * * ... * } * ]| * * */ G_DEFINE_INTERFACE (GstVideoContext, gst_video_context_iface, G_TYPE_INVALID); static inline GstStructure * gst_video_context_new_structure (const gchar ** types) { return gst_structure_new ("prepare-video-context", "types", G_TYPE_STRV, types, NULL); } static gboolean gst_video_context_pad_query (const GValue * item, GValue * value, gpointer user_data) { GstPad *pad = g_value_get_object (item); GstQuery *query = user_data; gboolean res; res = gst_pad_peer_query (pad, query); gst_object_unref (pad); if (res) { g_value_set_boolean (value, TRUE); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } static void gst_video_context_iface_default_init (GstVideoContextInterface * iface) { /* default virtual functions */ iface->set_context = NULL; } /** * gst_video_context_set_context: * @context: an element implementing #GstVideoContext * @type: the type of display being set * @value: a #GValue containing the context * * This is a wrapper for the set_context() virtual method.
