Indeed if the #GstPipeline 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 #GstMessage 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: * * static GstBusSyncReply * create_window (GstBus * bus, GstMessage * message, GstPipeline * pipeline) * { * // ignore anything but 'prepare-xwindow-id' element messages * if (GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (message) != GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT) * return GST_BUS_PASS; * * if (!gst_structure_has_name (message->structure, "prepare-xwindow-id")) * 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_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id (GST_X_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); * ... * } * * * */ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include "config.h" #endif #include "xoverlay.h" static void gst_x_overlay_base_init (gpointer g_class); GType gst_x_overlay_get_type (void) { static GType gst_x_overlay_type = 0; if (!gst_x_overlay_type) { static const GTypeInfo gst_x_overlay_info = { sizeof (GstXOverlayClass), gst_x_overlay_base_init, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, NULL, }; gst_x_overlay_type = g_type_register_static (G_TYPE_INTERFACE, "GstXOverlay", &gst_x_overlay_info, 0); g_type_interface_add_prerequisite (gst_x_overlay_type, GST_TYPE_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE); } return gst_x_overlay_type; } static void gst_x_overlay_base_init (gpointer g_class) { GstXOverlayClass *overlay_class = (GstXOverlayClass *) g_class; overlay_class->set_xwindow_id = NULL; } /** * gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id: * @overlay: a #GstXOverlay to set the XWindow on. * @xwindow_id: a #XID referencing the XWindow. * * This will call the video overlay's set_xwindow_id method.
