<title>Autoplugging</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In <xref linkend="chapter-helloworld"/>, you've learned to build a
|
|
simple media player for Ogg/Vorbis files. By using alternative elements,
|
|
you are able to build media players for other media types, such as
|
|
Ogg/Speex, MP3 or even video formats. However, you would rather want
|
|
to build an application that can automatically detect the media type
|
|
of a stream and automatically generate the best possible pipeline
|
|
by looking at all available elements in a system. This process is called
|
|
autoplugging, and &GStreamer; contains high-quality autopluggers. If
|
|
you're looking for an autoplugger, don't read any further and go to
|
|
<xref linkend="chapter-components"/>. This chapter will explain the
|
|
<emphasis>concept</emphasis> of autoplugging and typefinding. It will
|
|
explain what systems &GStreamer; includes to dynamically detect the
|
|
type of a media stream, and how to generate a pipeline of decoder
|
|
elements to playback this media. The same principles can also be used
|
|
for transcoding. Because of the full dynamicity of this concept,
|
|
&GStreamer; can be automatically extended to support new media types
|
|
without needing any adaptations to its autopluggers.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
We will first introduce the concept of Media types as a dynamic and
|
|
extendible way of identifying media streams. After that, we will introduce
|
|
the concept of typefinding to find the type of a media stream. Lastly,
|
|
we will explain how autoplugging and the &GStreamer; registry can be
|
|
used to setup a pipeline that will convert media from one mediatype to
|
|
another, for example for media decoding.

<title>Media types as a way to identify streams</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
We have previously introduced the concept of capabilities as a way
|
|
for elements (or, rather, pads) to agree on a media type when
|
|
streaming data from one element to the next (see <xref
|
|
linkend="section-caps"/>). We have explained that a capability is
|
|
a combination of a media type and a set of properties. For most
|
|
container formats (those are the files that you will find on your
|
|
hard disk; Ogg, for example, is a container format), no properties
|
|
are needed to describe the stream. Only a media type is needed. A
|
|
full list of media types and accompanying properties can be found
|
|
in <ulink type="http"
|
|
url="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/pwg/html/section-types-definitions.html">the
|
|
Plugin Writer's Guide</ulink>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
An element must associate a media type to its source and sink pads
|
|
when it is loaded into the system. &GStreamer; knows about the
|
|
different elements and what type of data they expect and emit through
|
|
the &GStreamer; registry. This allows for very dynamic and extensible
|
|
element creation as we will see.

In <xref linkend="chapter-helloworld"/>, we've learned to build a
|
|
music player for Ogg/Vorbis files. Let's look at the media types
|
|
associated with each pad in this pipeline. <xref
|
|
linkend="section-mime-img"/> shows what media type belongs to each
|
|
pad in this pipeline.

Now that we have an idea how &GStreamer; identifies known media
|
|
streams, we can look at methods &GStreamer; uses to setup pipelines
|
|
for media handling and for media type detection.

|
<title>Media stream type detection</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Usually, when loading a media stream, the type of the stream is not
|
|
known. This means that before we can choose a pipeline to decode the
|
|
stream, we first need to detect the stream type. &GStreamer; uses the
|
|
concept of typefinding for this. Typefinding is a normal part of a
|
|
pipeline, it will read data for as long as the type of a stream is
|
|
unknown. During this period, it will provide data to all plugins
|
|
that implement a typefinder. When one of the typefinders recognizes
|
|
the stream, the typefind element will emit a signal and act as a
|
|
passthrough module from that point on. If no type was found, it will
|
|
emit an error and further media processing will stop.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Once the typefind element has found a type, the application can
|
|
use this to plug together a pipeline to decode the media stream.
|
|
This will be discussed in the next section.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Plugins in &GStreamer; can, as mentioned before, implement typefinder
|
|
functionality. A plugin implementing this functionality will submit
|
|
a media type, optionally a set of file extensions commonly used for this
|
|
media type, and a typefind function. Once this typefind function inside
|
|
the plugin is called, the plugin will see if the data in this media
|
|
stream matches a specific pattern that marks the media type identified
|
|
by that media type. If it does, it will notify the typefind element of
|
|
this fact, telling which mediatype was recognized and how certain we
|
|
are that this stream is indeed that mediatype. Once this run has been
|
|
completed for all plugins implementing a typefind functionality, the
|
|
typefind element will tell the application what kind of media stream
|
|
it thinks to have recognized.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The following code should explain how to use the typefind element.
|
|
It will print the detected media type, or tell that the media type
|
|
was not found. The next section will introduce more useful behaviours,
|
|
such as plugging together a decoding pipeline.

In this chapter we will see how you can create a dynamic pipeline. A
|
|
dynamic pipeline is a pipeline that is updated or created while data
|
|
is flowing through it. We will create a partial pipeline first and add
|
|
more elements while the pipeline is playing. The basis of this player
|
|
will be the application that we wrote in the previous section (<xref
|
|
linkend="section-typefinding"/>) to identify unknown media streams.

Once the type of the media has been found, we will find elements in
|
|
the registry that can decode this streamtype. For this, we will get
|
|
all element factories (which we've seen before in <xref
|
|
linkend="section-elements-create"/>) and find the ones with the
|
|
given media type and capabilities on their sinkpad. Note that we will
|
|
only use parsers, demuxers and decoders. We will not use factories for
|
|
any other element types, or we might get into a loop of encoders and
|
|
decoders. For this, we will want to build a list of <quote>allowed</quote>
|
|
factories right after initializing &GStreamer;.

From this list of element factories, we will select the one that most

likely will help us decoding a media stream to a given output type.

For each newly created element, we will again try to autoplug new

|
elements to its source pad(s). Also, if the element has dynamic pads

|
(which we've seen before in <xref linkend="section-pads-dynamic"/>),

we will listen for newly created source pads and handle those, too.

By doing all this, we will be able to make a simple autoplugger that
|
|
can automatically setup a pipeline for any media type. In the example
|
|
above, we did this for audio only. However, we can also do this
|
|
for video to create a player that plays both audio and video.

The example above is a good first try for an autoplugger. Next steps
|
|
would be to listen for <quote>pad-removed</quote> signals, so we
|
|
can dynamically change the plugged pipeline if the stream changes
|
|
(this happens for DVB or Ogg radio). Also, you might want special-case
|
|
code for input with known content (such as a DVD or an audio-CD),
|
|
and much, much more. Moreover, you'll want many checks to prevent
|
|
infinite loops during autoplugging, maybe you'll want to implement
|
|
shortest-path-finding to make sure the most optimal pipeline is chosen,
|
|
and so on. Basically, the features that you implement in an autoplugger
|
|
depend on what you want to use it for. For full-blown implementations,
|
|
see the <quote>playbin</quote> and <quote>decodebin</quote> elements in
|
|
<xref linkend="chapter-components"/>.
