Buffer dropping scheme to avoid the element's internal queue to block when full. Not Leaky Leaky on upstream (new buffers) Leaky on downstream (old buffers) Appsink is a sink plugin that supports many different methods for making the application get a handle on the GStreamer data in a pipeline. Unlike most GStreamer elements, Appsink provides external API functions. appsink can be used by linking to the gstappsink.h header file to access the methods or by using the appsink action signals and properties. The normal way of retrieving samples from appsink is by using the gst_app_sink_pull_sample() and gst_app_sink_pull_preroll() methods. These methods block until a sample becomes available in the sink or when the sink is shut down or reaches EOS. There are also timed variants of these methods, gst_app_sink_try_pull_sample() and gst_app_sink_try_pull_preroll(), which accept a timeout parameter to limit the amount of time to wait. Appsink will internally use a queue to collect buffers from the streaming thread. If the application is not pulling samples fast enough, this queue will consume a lot of memory over time. The "max-buffers" property can be used to limit the queue size. The "drop" property controls whether the streaming thread blocks or if older buffers are dropped when the maximum queue size is reached. Note that blocking the streaming thread can negatively affect real-time performance and should be avoided. If a blocking behaviour is not desirable, setting the "emit-signals" property to %TRUE will make appsink emit the "new-sample" and "new-preroll" signals when a sample can be pulled without blocking. The "caps" property on appsink can be used to control the formats that appsink can receive. This property can contain non-fixed caps, the format of the pulled samples can be obtained by getting the sample caps. If one of the pull-preroll or pull-sample methods return %NULL, the appsink is stopped or in the EOS state. You can check for the EOS state with the "eos" property or with the gst_app_sink_is_eos() method. The eos signal can also be used to be informed when the EOS state is reached to avoid polling. Get the last preroll sample in @appsink. This was the sample that caused the appsink to preroll in the PAUSED state. This function is typically used when dealing with a pipeline in the PAUSED state. Calling this function after doing a seek will give the sample right after the seek position. Calling this function will clear the internal reference to the preroll buffer. Note that the preroll sample will also be returned as the first sample when calling gst_app_sink_pull_sample(). If an EOS event was received before any buffers, this function returns %NULL. Use gst_app_sink_is_eos () to check for the EOS condition. This function blocks until a preroll sample or EOS is received or the appsink element is set to the READY/NULL state. a #GstSample or NULL when the appsink is stopped or EOS. Call gst_sample_unref() after usage. a #GstAppSink This function blocks until a sample or EOS becomes available or the appsink element is set to the READY/NULL state. This function will only return samples when the appsink is in the PLAYING state. All rendered buffers will be put in a queue so that the application can pull samples at its own rate. Note that when the application does not pull samples fast enough, the queued buffers could consume a lot of memory, especially when dealing with raw video frames. If an EOS event was received before any buffers, this function returns %NULL. Use gst_app_sink_is_eos () to check for the EOS condition. a #GstSample or NULL when the appsink is stopped or EOS.

Call gst_mini_object_unref() after usage. a #GstAppSink the maximum amount of time to wait for a sample The appsrc element can be used by applications to insert data into a GStreamer pipeline. Unlike most GStreamer elements, appsrc provides external API functions. appsrc can be used by linking with the libgstapp library to access the methods directly or by using the appsrc action signals. Before operating appsrc, the caps property must be set to fixed caps describing the format of the data that will be pushed with appsrc. An exception to this is when pushing buffers with unknown caps, in which case no caps should be set. This is typically true of file-like sources that push raw byte buffers. If you don't want to explicitly set the caps, you can use gst_app_src_push_sample. This method gets the caps associated with the sample and sets them on the appsrc replacing any previously set caps (if different from sample's caps). The main way of handing data to the appsrc element is by calling the gst_app_src_push_buffer() method or by emitting the push-buffer action signal. This will put the buffer onto a queue from which appsrc will read from in its streaming thread. It is important to note that data transport will not happen from the thread that performed the push-buffer call. The "max-bytes", "max-buffers" and "max-time" properties control how much data can be queued in appsrc before appsrc considers the queue full. A filled internal queue will always signal the "enough-data" signal, which signals the application that it should stop pushing data into appsrc. The "block" property will cause appsrc to block the push-buffer method until free data becomes available again. When the internal queue is running out of data, the "need-data" signal is emitted, which signals the application that it should start pushing more data into appsrc. In addition to the "need-data" and "enough-data" signals, appsrc can emit the "seek-data" signal when the "stream-mode" property is set to "seekable" or "random-access". The signal argument will contain the new desired position in the stream expressed in the unit set with the "format" property. After receiving the seek-data signal, the application should push-buffers from the new position. These signals allow the application to operate the appsrc in two different ways: The push mode, in which the application repeatedly calls the push-buffer/push-sample method with a new buffer/sample. Optionally, the queue size in the appsrc can be controlled with the enough-data and need-data signals by respectively stopping/starting the push-buffer/push-sample calls. This is a typical mode of operation for the stream-type "stream" and "seekable". Use this mode when implementing various network protocols or hardware devices. The pull mode, in which the need-data signal triggers the next push-buffer call. This mode is typically used in the "random-access" stream-type. Use this mode for file access or other randomly accessible sources. In this mode, a buffer of exactly the amount of bytes given by the need-data signal should be pushed into appsrc. In all modes, the size property on appsrc should contain the total stream size in bytes. Setting this property is mandatory in the random-access mode. For the stream and seekable modes, setting this property is optional but recommended. When the application has finished pushing data into appsrc, it should call gst_app_src_end_of_stream() or emit the end-of-stream action signal. After this call, no more buffers can be pushed into appsrc until a flushing seek occurs or the state of the appsrc has gone through READY.

Make appsrc emit the "need-data", "enough-data" and "seek-data" signals. This option is by default enabled for backwards compatibility reasons but can disabled when needed because signal emission is expensive. The format to use for segment events. When the source is producing timestamped buffers this property should be set to GST_FORMAT_TIME. When enabled, appsrc will check GstSegment in GstSample which was pushed via gst_app_src_push_sample() or "push-sample" signal action. If a GstSegment is changed, corresponding segment event will be followed by next data flow. FIXME: currently only GST_FORMAT_TIME format is supported and therefore GstAppSrc::format should be time. However, possibly #GstAppSrc can support other formats. Instruct the source to behave like a live source. This includes that it will only push out buffers in the PLAYING state. When set to any other value than GST_APP_LEAKY_TYPE_NONE then the appsrc will drop any buffers that are pushed into it once its internal queue is full. The selected type defines whether to drop the oldest or new buffers. The maximum amount of buffers that can be queued internally. After the maximum amount of buffers are queued, appsrc will emit the "enough-data" signal. The maximum amount of bytes that can be queued internally. After the maximum amount of bytes are queued, appsrc will emit the "enough-data" signal. The maximum amount of time that can be queued internally. After the maximum amount of time are queued, appsrc will emit the "enough-data" signal. The minimum latency of the source. A value of -1 will use the default latency calculations of #GstBaseSrc. Make appsrc emit the "need-data" signal when the amount of bytes in the queue drops below this percentage of max-bytes. The total size in bytes of the data stream. If the total size is known, it is recommended to configure it with this property. The type of stream that this source is producing. For seekable streams the application should connect to the seek-data signal. Notify @appsrc that no more buffer are available. Signal that the source has enough data. It is recommended that the application stops calling push-buffer until the need-data signal is emitted again to avoid excessive buffer queueing. Signal that the source needs more data. In the callback or from another thread you should call push-buffer or end-of-stream. @length is just a hint and when it is set to -1, any number of bytes can be pushed into @appsrc. You can call push-buffer multiple times until the enough-data signal is fired. the amount of bytes needed. Adds a buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function does not take ownership of the buffer, but it takes a reference so the buffer can be unreffed at any time after calling this function. When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space becomes available in the queue. a buffer to push Adds a buffer list to the queue of buffers and buffer lists that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function does not take ownership of the buffer list, but it takes a reference so the buffer list can be unreffed at any time after calling this function. When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space becomes available in the queue. a buffer list to push Extract a buffer from the provided sample and adds the extracted buffer to the queue of buffers that the appsrc element will push to its source pad. This function set the appsrc caps based on the caps in the sample and reset the caps if they change. Only the caps and the buffer of the provided sample are used and not for example the segment in the sample. This function does not take ownership of the sample, but it takes a reference so the sample can be unreffed at any time after calling this function. When the block property is TRUE, this function can block until free space becomes available in the queue. a sample from which extract buffer to push Seek to the given offset. The next push-buffer should produce buffers from the new @offset. This callback is only called for seekable stream types. %TRUE if the seek succeeded. the offset to seek to A set of callbacks that can be installed on the appsrc with gst_app_src_set_callbacks(). #GST_FLOW_OK when the buffer was successfully queued. #GST_FLOW_FLUSHING when @appsrc is not PAUSED or PLAYING. #GST_FLOW_EOS when EOS occurred. a #GstAppSrc a #GstBuffer to push #GST_FLOW_OK when the EOS was successfully queued. #GST_FLOW_FLUSHING when @appsrc is not PAUSED or PLAYING. a #GstAppSrc #GST_FLOW_OK when the buffer was successfully queued. #GST_FLOW_FLUSHING when @appsrc is not PAUSED or PLAYING. #GST_FLOW_EOS when EOS occurred. a #GstAppSrc a #GstSample from which buffer and caps may be extracted #GST_FLOW_OK when the buffer list was successfully queued. #GST_FLOW_FLUSHING when @appsrc is not PAUSED or PLAYING. #GST_FLOW_EOS when EOS occurred. a #GstAppSrc a #GstBufferList to push The stream type. No seeking is supported in the stream, such as a live stream. The stream is seekable but seeking might not be very fast, such as data from a webserver. The stream is seekable and seeking is fast, such as in a local file.
