DeviceProvider

A gstreamer.DeviceProvider subclass is provided by a plugin that handles devices if there is a way to programmatically list connected devices. It can also optionally provide updates to the list of connected devices.

Each gstreamer.DeviceProvider subclass is a singleton, a plugin should normally provide a single subclass for all devices.

Applications would normally use a gstreamer.DeviceMonitor to monitor devices from all relevant providers.

class DeviceProvider : ObjectGst {

GstDeviceProvider* gstDeviceProvider;

GstDeviceProvider* getDeviceProviderStruct(bool transferOwnership);

void* getStruct();

this(GstDeviceProvider* gstDeviceProvider, bool ownedRef);

Functions

addOnProviderHidden gulong addOnProviderHidden(void delegate(string, DeviceProvider) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)
addOnProviderUnhidden gulong addOnProviderUnhidden(void delegate(string, DeviceProvider) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)
canMonitor bool canMonitor()
deviceAdd void deviceAdd(Device device): Posts a message on the provider's gstreamer.Bus to inform applications that a new device has been added.
deviceChanged void deviceChanged(Device device, Device changedDevice): This function is used when changed_device was modified into its new form device. This will post a DEVICE_CHANGED message on the bus to let the application know that the device was modified. gstreamer.Device is immutable for MT. safety purposes so this is an "atomic" way of letting the application know when a device was modified.
deviceRemove void deviceRemove(Device device): Posts a message on the provider's gstreamer.Bus to inform applications that a device has been removed.
getBus Bus getBus(): Gets the gstreamer.Bus of this gstreamer.DeviceProvider
getDeviceProviderStruct GstDeviceProvider* getDeviceProviderStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getDevices ListG getDevices(): Gets a list of devices that this provider understands. This may actually probe the hardware if the provider is not currently started.
getFactory DeviceProviderFactory getFactory(): Retrieves the factory that was used to create this device provider.
getHiddenProviders string[] getHiddenProviders(): Get the provider factory names of the gstreamer.DeviceProvider instances that are hidden by provider.
getMetadata string getMetadata(string key): Get metadata with key in provider.
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
hideProvider void hideProvider(string name): Make provider hide the devices from the factory with name.
start bool start(): Starts providering the devices. This will cause GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE_ADDED and GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE_REMOVED messages to be posted on the provider's bus when devices are added or removed from the system.
stop void stop(): Decreases the use-count by one. If the use count reaches zero, this gstreamer.DeviceProvider will stop providering the devices. This needs to be called the same number of times that Device.providerStart was called.
unhideProvider void unhideProvider(string name): Make provider unhide the devices from factory name.

Static functions

getType GType getType()
register bool register(Plugin plugin, string name, uint rank, GType type): Create a new device providerfactory capable of instantiating objects of the type and add the factory to plugin.

Variables

gstDeviceProvider GstDeviceProvider* gstDeviceProvider;: the main Gtk struct

Inherited Members

From ObjectGst

gstObject GstObject* gstObject;: the main Gtk struct
getObjectGstStruct GstObject* getObjectGstStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getType GType getType()
checkUniqueness bool checkUniqueness(ListG list, string name): Checks to see if there is any object named name in list. This function does not do any locking of any kind. You might want to protect the provided list with the lock of the owner of the list. This function will lock each GstObject in the list to compare the name, so be careful when passing a list with a locked object.
defaultDeepNotify void defaultDeepNotify(ObjectG object, ObjectGst orig, ParamSpec pspec, string[] excludedProps): A default deep_notify signal callback for an object. The user data should contain a pointer to an array of strings that should be excluded from the notify. The default handler will print the new value of the property using g_print.
refSink void* refSink(void* object): Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating reference, if object has a floating reference.
replace bool replace(ObjectGst oldobj, ObjectGst newobj): Atomically modifies a pointer to point to a new object. The reference count of oldobj is decreased and the reference count of newobj is increased.
addControlBinding bool addControlBinding(ControlBinding binding): Attach the gstreamer.ControlBinding to the object. If there already was a gstreamer.ControlBinding for this property it will be replaced.
defaultError void defaultError(ErrorG error, string debug_): A default error function that uses g_printerr() to display the error message and the optional debug string..
getControlBinding ControlBinding getControlBinding(string propertyName): Gets the corresponding gstreamer.ControlBinding for the property. This should be unreferenced again after use.
getControlRate GstClockTime getControlRate(): Obtain the control-rate for this object. Audio processing gstreamer.Element objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call gst_object_sync_values() in between. The length of the processing segment should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.
getGValueArray bool getGValueArray(string propertyName, GstClockTime timestamp, GstClockTime interval, Value[] values): Gets a number of gobject.Values for the given controlled property starting at the requested time. The array values need to hold enough space for n_values of gobject.Value
getName string getName(): Returns a copy of the name of object. Caller should g_free() the return value after usage. For a nameless object, this returns NULL, which you can safely g_free() as well.
getParent ObjectGst getParent(): Returns the parent of object. This function increases the refcount of the parent object so you should gst_object_unref() it after usage.
getPathString string getPathString(): Generates a string describing the path of object in the object hierarchy. Only useful (or used) for debugging.
getValue Value getValue(string propertyName, GstClockTime timestamp): Gets the value for the given controlled property at the requested time.
getValueArray bool getValueArray(string propertyName, GstClockTime timestamp, GstClockTime interval, uint nValues, void* values): Gets a number of values for the given controlled property starting at the requested time. The array values need to hold enough space for n_values of the same type as the objects property's type.
hasActiveControlBindings bool hasActiveControlBindings(): Check if the object has active controlled properties.
hasAncestor bool hasAncestor(ObjectGst ancestor): Check if object has an ancestor ancestor somewhere up in the hierarchy. One can e.g. check if a gstreamer.Element is inside a gstreamer.Pipeline
hasAsAncestor bool hasAsAncestor(ObjectGst ancestor): Check if object has an ancestor ancestor somewhere up in the hierarchy. One can e.g. check if a gstreamer.Element is inside a gstreamer.Pipeline
hasAsParent bool hasAsParent(ObjectGst parent): Check if parent is the parent of object. E.g. a gstreamer.Element can check if it owns a given gstreamer.Pad
ref_ ObjectGst ref_(): Increments the reference count on object. This function does not take the lock on object because it relies on atomic refcounting.
removeControlBinding bool removeControlBinding(ControlBinding binding): Removes the corresponding gstreamer.ControlBinding If it was the last ref of the binding, it will be disposed.
setControlBindingDisabled void setControlBindingDisabled(string propertyName, bool disabled): This function is used to disable the control bindings on a property for some time, i.e. gst_object_sync_values() will do nothing for the property.
setControlBindingsDisabled void setControlBindingsDisabled(bool disabled): This function is used to disable all controlled properties of the object for some time, i.e. gst_object_sync_values() will do nothing.
setControlRate void setControlRate(GstClockTime controlRate): Change the control-rate for this object. Audio processing gstreamer.Element objects will use this rate to sub-divide their processing loop and call gst_object_sync_values() in between. The length of the processing segment should be up to control-rate nanoseconds.
setName bool setName(string name): Sets the name of object, or gives object a guaranteed unique name (if name is NULL). This function makes a copy of the provided name, so the caller retains ownership of the name it sent.
setParent bool setParent(ObjectGst parent): Sets the parent of object to parent. The object's reference count will be incremented, and any floating reference will be removed (see gst_object_ref_sink()).
suggestNextSync GstClockTime suggestNextSync(): Returns a suggestion for timestamps where buffers should be split to get best controller results.
syncValues bool syncValues(GstClockTime timestamp): Sets the properties of the object, according to the gstreamer.ControlSources that (maybe) handle them and for the given timestamp.
unparent void unparent(): Clear the parent of object, removing the associated reference. This function decreases the refcount of object.
unref void unref(): Decrements the reference count on object. If reference count hits zero, destroy object. This function does not take the lock on object as it relies on atomic refcounting.
addOnDeepNotify gulong addOnDeepNotify(void delegate(ObjectGst, ParamSpec, ObjectGst) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags): The deep notify signal is used to be notified of property changes. It is typically attached to the toplevel bin to receive notifications from all the elements contained in that bin.
