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_window_handle (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); * ... * } * ]| * * * * Two basic usage scenarios * * There are two basic usage scenarios: in the simplest case, the application * knows exactly what particular element is used for video output, which is * usually the case when the application creates the videosink to use * (e.g. #xvimagesink, #ximagesink, etc.) itself; in this case, the application * can just create the videosink element, create and realize the window to * render the video on and then call gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle() directly * with the XID or native window handle, before starting up the pipeline. * * * In the other and more common case, the application does not know in advance * what GStreamer video sink element will be used for video output. This is * usually the case when an element such as #autovideosink or #gconfvideosink * is used. In this case, the video sink element itself is created * asynchronously from a GStreamer streaming thread some time after the * pipeline has been started up. When that happens, however, the video sink * will need to know right then whether to render onto an already existing * application window or whether to create its own window. This is when it * posts a prepare-xwindow-id message, and that is also why this message needs * to be handled in a sync bus handler which will be called from the streaming * thread directly (because the video sink will need an answer right then). * * * As response to the prepare-xwindow-id element message in the bus sync * handler, the application may use gst_x_overlay_set_window_handle() to tell * the video sink to render onto an existing window surface. At this point the * application should already have obtained the window handle / XID, so it * just needs to set it. It is generally not advisable to call any GUI toolkit * functions or window system functions from the streaming thread in which the * prepare-xwindow-id message is handled, because most GUI toolkits and * windowing systems are not thread-safe at all and a lot of care would be * required to co-ordinate the toolkit and window system calls of the * different threads (Gtk+ users please note: prior to Gtk+ 2.18 * GDK_WINDOW_XID() was just a simple structure access, so generally fine to do * within the bus sync handler; this macro was changed to a function call in * Gtk+ 2.18 and later, which is likely to cause problems when called from a * sync handler; see below for a better approach without GDK_WINDOW_XID() * used in the callback). * * * * GstXOverlay and Gtk+ * * |[ * #include <gtk/gtk.h> * #ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11 * #include <gdk/gdkx.h> // for GDK_WINDOW_XID * #endif * ... * static gulong video_window_xid = 0;
