## Property Details

### The `“max-ptime”` property

      “max-ptime”                gint64

Maximum duration of the packet data in ns (-1 = unlimited up to MTU).

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= -1

Default value: -1

### The `“min-ptime”` property

      “min-ptime”                gint64

Minimum duration of the packet data in ns (can't go above MTU)

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0

### The `“mtu”` property

      “mtu”                      guint

Maximum size of one packet.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= 28

Default value: 1400

### The `“perfect-rtptime”` property

      “perfect-rtptime”          gboolean

Try to use the offset fields to generate perfect RTP timestamps. When this option is disabled, RTP timestamps are generated from GST_BUFFER_PTS of each payloaded buffer. The PTSes of buffers may not necessarily increment with the amount of data in each input buffer, consider e.g. the case where the buffer arrives from a network which means that the PTS is unrelated to the amount of data. Because the RTP timestamps are generated from GST_BUFFER_PTS this can result in RTP timestamps that also don't increment with the amount of data in the payloaded packet. To circumvent this it is possible to set the perfect rtptime option enabled. When this option is enabled the payloader will increment the RTP timestamps based on GST_BUFFER_OFFSET which relates to the amount of data in each packet rather than the GST_BUFFER_PTS of each buffer and therefore the RTP timestamps will more closely correlate with the amount of data in each buffer. Currently GstRTPBasePayload is limited to handling perfect RTP timestamps for audio streams.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: TRUE

### The `“pt”` property

      “pt”                       guint

The payload type of the packets.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: <= 127

Default value: 96

### The `“ptime-multiple”` property

      “ptime-multiple”           gint64

Force buffers to be multiples of this duration in ns (0 disables)

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: >= 0

Default value: 0

### The `“seqnum”` property

      “seqnum”                   guint

The RTP sequence number of the last processed packet.

Flags: Read

Allowed values: <= 65535

Default value: 0

### The `“seqnum-offset”` property

      “seqnum-offset”            gint

Offset to add to all outgoing seqnum (-1 = random).

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [-1,65535]

Default value: -1

### The `“ssrc”` property

      “ssrc”                     guint

The SSRC of the packets (default == random).

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 4294967295

### The `“stats”` property

      “stats”                    GstStructure *

Various payloader statistics retrieved atomically (and are therefore synchroized with each other), these can be used e.g. to generate an RTP-Info header. This property return a GstStructure named application/x-rtp-payload-stats containing the following fields relating to the last processed buffer and current state of the stream being payloaded:

clock-rate | G_TYPE_UINT, clock-rate of the stream
running-time | G_TYPE_UINT64, running time
seqnum | G_TYPE_UINT, sequence number, same as “seqnum”
timestamp | G_TYPE_UINT, RTP timestamp, same as “timestamp”
ssrc | G_TYPE_UINT, The SSRC in use
pt | G_TYPE_UINT, The Payload type in use, same as “pt”
seqnum-offset | G_TYPE_UINT, The current offset added to the seqnum
timestamp-offset | G_TYPE_UINT, The current offset added to the timestamp

Flags: Read

### The `“timestamp”` property

      “timestamp”                guint

The RTP timestamp of the last processed packet.

Flags: Read

Default value: 0

### The `“timestamp-offset”` property

      “timestamp-offset”         guint

Offset to add to all outgoing timestamps (default = random).

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 4294967295
