## Detailed Description

The base class for sink elements.

Gst::BaseSink is the base class for sink elements in GStreamer, such as xvimagesink or filesink. It is a layer on top of Gst::Element that provides a simplified interface to plugin writers. Gst::BaseSink handles many details for you, for example: preroll, clock synchronization, state changes, activation in push or pull mode, and queries.

In most cases, when writing sink elements, there is no need to implement class methods from Gst::Element or to set functions on pads, because the Gst::BaseSink infrastructure should be sufficient.

TODO: correct paragraph below for C++ and include example from C API:

Gst::BaseSink provides support for exactly one sink pad, which should be named "sink". A sink implementation (subclass of Gst::BaseSink) should install a pad template in its base_init function, like so:

Gst::BaseSink will handle the prerolling correctly. This means that it will return Gst::STATE_CHANGE_ASYNC from a state change to PAUSED until the first buffer arrives in this element. The base class will call the Gst::BaseSink::preroll_vfunc() vmethod with this preroll buffer and will then commit the state change to the next asynchronously pending state.

When the element is set to PLAYING, Gst::BaseSink will synchronise on the clock using the times returned from get_times_vfunc(). If this function returns Gst::CLOCK_TIME_NONE for the start time, no synchronisation will be done. Synchronisation can be disabled entirely by setting the object "sync" property to FALSE.

After synchronisation the virtual method Gst::BaseSink::render_vfunc() will be called. Subclasses should minimally implement this method.

Since GStreamer 0.10.3 subclasses that synchronise on the clock in the render_vfunc() vmethod are supported as well. These classes typically receive a buffer in the render method and can then potentially block on the clock while rendering. A typical example is an audiosink. Since GStreamer 0.10.11 these subclasses can use wait_preroll() to perform the blocking wait.

Upon receiving the EOS event in the PLAYING state, Gst::BaseSink will wait for the clock to reach the time indicated by the stop time of the last get_times_vfunc() call before posting an EOS message. When the element receives EOS in PAUSED, preroll completes, the event is queued and an EOS message is posted when going to PLAYING.

Gst::BaseSink will internally use the Gst::EVENT_NEWSEGMENT events to schedule synchronisation and clipping of buffers. Buffers that fall completely outside of the current segment are dropped. Buffers that fall partially in the segment are rendered (and prerolled). Subclasses should do any subbuffer clipping themselves when needed.

Gst::BaseSink will by default report the current playback position in Gst::FORMAT_TIME based on the current clock time and segment information. If no clock has been set on the element, the query will be forwarded upstream.

The set_caps_vfunc() function will be called when the subclass should configure itself to process a specific media type.

The start_vfunc() and stop_vfunc() virtual methods will be called when resources should be allocated. Any preroll_vfunc(), render_vfunc() and set_caps_vfunc() function will be called between the start_vfunc() and stop_vfunc() calls.

The event_vfunc() virtual method will be called when an event is received by Gst::BaseSink. Normally this method should only be overriden by very specific elements (such as file sinks) which need to handle the newsegment event specially.

Gst::BaseSink provides an overridable buffer_alloc_vfunc() function that can be used by sinks that want to do reverse negotiation or to provide custom buffers (hardware buffers for example) to upstream elements.

The unlock_vfunc() method is called when the elements should unblock any blocking operations they perform in the render_vfunc() method. This is mostly useful when the render_vfunc() method performs a blocking write on a file descriptor, for example.

The max-lateness property affects how the sink deals with buffers that arrive too late in the sink. A buffer arrives too late in the sink when the presentation time (as a combination of the last segment, buffer timestamp and element base_time) plus the duration is before the current time of the clock. If the frame is later than max-lateness, the sink will drop the buffer without calling the render method. This feature is disabled if sync is disabled, the get_times_vfunc() method does not return a valid start time or max-lateness is set to -1 (the default). Subclasses can use set_max_lateness() to configure the max-lateness value.

The qos property will enable the quality-of-service features of the basesink which gather statistics about the real-time performance of the clock synchronisation. For each buffer received in the sink, statistics are gathered and a QOS event is sent upstream with these numbers. This information can then be used by upstream elements to reduce their processing rate, for example.

Since GStreamer 0.10.15 the async property can be used to instruct the sink to never perform an ASYNC state change. This feature is mostly usable when dealing with non-synchronized streams or sparse streams.

Timestamp offset in nanoseconds.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

bool Gst::BaseSink::query_latency | ( | bool & | live,
|  | bool & | upstream_live,
|  | ClockTime& | min_latency,
|  | ClockTime& | max_latency
| ) |  | const

Query the sink for the latency parameters.

The latency will be queried from the upstream elements. live will be `true` if sink is configured to synchronize against the clock. upstream_live will be `true` if an upstream element is live.

If both live and upstream_live are `true`, the sink will want to compensate for the latency introduced by the upstream elements by setting the min_latency to a strictly possitive value.

This function is mostly used by subclasses.

Parameters:

  live | If the sink is live.
  upstream_live | If an upstream element is live.
  min_latency | The min latency of the upstream elements.
  max_latency | The max latency of the upstream elements.

Returns:
  `true` if the query succeeded.

virtual FlowReturn Gst::BaseSink::render_list_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::BufferList >& | buffer_list | ) | `[virtual]`

Render a BufferList.

virtual FlowReturn Gst::BaseSink::render_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Buffer >& | buffer | ) | `[virtual]`

Called when a buffer should be presented or output, at the correct moment if the Gst::BaseSink has been set to sync to the clock.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_async_enabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Configures sink to perform all state changes asynchronusly.

When async is disabled, the sink will immediately go to PAUSED instead of waiting for a preroll buffer. This feature is useful if the sink does not synchronize against the clock or when it is dealing with sparse streams.

Parameters:

  enabled | The new async value.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_blocksize | ( | guint | blocksize | ) |

Set the number of bytes that the sink will pull when it is operating in pull mode.

Parameters:

  blocksize | The blocksize in bytes.

virtual bool Gst::BaseSink::set_caps_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Caps >& | caps | ) | `[virtual]`

Notify subclass of changed caps.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_last_buffer_enabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Configures sink to store the last received buffer in the last-buffer property.

Parameters:

  enabled | The new enable-last-buffer value.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_max_lateness | ( | gint64 | max_lateness | ) |

Sets the new max lateness value to max_lateness.

This value is used to decide if a buffer should be dropped or not based on the buffer timestamp and the current clock time. A value of -1 means an unlimited time.

Parameters:

  max_lateness | The new max lateness value.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_qos_enabled | ( | bool | enabled | ) |

Configures sink to send Quality-of-Service events upstream.

Parameters:

  enabled | The new qos value.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_render_delay | ( | ClockTime | delay | ) |

Set the render delay in sink to delay.

The render delay is the time between actual rendering of a buffer and its synchronisation time. Some devices might delay media rendering which can be compensated for with this function.

After calling this function, this sink will report additional latency and other sinks will adjust their latency to delay the rendering of their media.

This function is usually called by subclasses.

Parameters:

  delay | The new delay.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_sync | ( | bool | sync | ) |

Configures sink to synchronize on the clock or not.

When sync is `false`, incoming samples will be played as fast as possible. If sync is `true`, the timestamps of the incomming buffers will be used to schedule the exact render time of its contents.

Parameters:

  sync | The new sync value.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_throttle_time | ( | guint64 | throttle | ) |

Set the time that will be inserted between rendered buffers.

This can be used to control the maximum buffers per second that the sink will render.

Parameters:

  throttle | The throttle time in nanoseconds.

void Gst::BaseSink::set_ts_offset | ( | ClockTimeDiff | offset | ) |

Adjust the synchronisation of sink with offset.

A negative value will render buffers earlier than their timestamp. A positive value will delay rendering. This function can be used to fix playback of badly timestamped buffers.

Parameters:

  offset | The new offset.

virtual bool Gst::BaseSink::start_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Start processing.

Ideal for opening resources in the subclass.

virtual bool Gst::BaseSink::stop_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Stop processing.

Subclasses should use this to close resources.

virtual bool Gst::BaseSink::unlock_stop_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Clear the previous unlock request.

Subclasses should clear any state they set during unlock_vfunc(), such as clearing command queues.

virtual bool Gst::BaseSink::unlock_vfunc | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Unlock any pending access to the resource.

Subclasses should unblock any blocked function ASAP.

ClockReturn Gst::BaseSink::wait_clock | ( | ClockTime | time,
|  | ClockTimeDiff& | jitter
| ) |  |

This function will block until time is reached.

It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation.

If time is not valid, no sycnhronisation is done and Gst::CLOCK_BADTIME is returned. Likewise, if synchronisation is disabled in the element or there is no clock, no synchronisation is done and Gst::CLOCK_BADTIME is returned.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like when receiving an EOS event in the Gst::BaseSinkClass.event() vmethod or when receiving a buffer in the Gst::BaseSinkClass.render() vmethod.

The time argument should be the running_time of when this method should return and is not adjusted with any latency or offset configured in the sink.

Parameters:

  time | The running_time to be reached.
  jitter | The jitter to be filled with time diff, or `0`.

Returns:
  Gst::ClockReturn.

ClockReturn Gst::BaseSink::wait_clock | ( | ClockTime | time | ) |

This function will block until time is reached.

It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation.

If time is not valid, no sycnhronisation is done and Gst::CLOCK_BADTIME is returned. Likewise, if synchronisation is disabled in the element or there is no clock, no synchronisation is done and Gst::CLOCK_BADTIME is returned.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like when receiving an EOS event in the event vmethod or when receiving a buffer in the render vmethod.

The time argument should be the running_time of when this method should return and is not adjusted with any latency or offset configured in the sink.

Since 0.10.20.

Parameters:

  time | The running_time to be reached.

Returns:
  Gst::ClockReturn.

FlowReturn Gst::BaseSink::wait_eos | ( | ClockTime | time,
|  | ClockTimeDiff& | jitter
| ) |  |

This function will block until time is reached.

It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation but want to let the EOS be handled by the base class.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like when receiving an EOS event in the signal_event() vmethod.

The time argument should be the running_time of when the EOS should happen and will be adjusted with any latency and offset configured in the sink.

Parameters:

  time | The running_time to be reached.
  jitter | The jitter to be filled with time diff, or `0`.

Returns:
  Gst::FlowReturn.

FlowReturn Gst::BaseSink::wait_eos | ( | ClockTime | time | ) |

This function will block until time is reached.

It is usually called by subclasses that use their own internal synchronisation but want to let the EOS be handled by the base class.

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like when receiving an EOS event in the event vmethod.

The time argument should be the running_time of when the EOS should happen and will be adjusted with any latency and offset configured in the sink.

Since 0.10.15.

Parameters:

  time | The running time to be reached.

Returns:
  Gst::FlowReturn.

FlowReturn Gst::BaseSink::wait_preroll | ( |  | ) |

If the Gst::BaseSinkClass.render() method performs its own synchronisation against the clock it must unblock when going from PLAYING to the PAUSED state and call this method before continuing to render the remaining data.

This function will block until a state change to PLAYING happens (in which case this function returns Gst::FLOW_OK) or the processing must be stopped due to a state change to READY or a FLUSH event (in which case this function returns Gst::FLOW_WRONG_STATE).

This function should only be called with the PREROLL_LOCK held, like in the render function.

Returns:
  Gst::FLOW_OK if the preroll completed and processing can continue. Any other return value should be returned from the render vmethod.
