GhostPad

GhostPads are useful when organizing pipelines with #GstBin like elements. The idea here is to create hierarchical element graphs. The bin element contains a sub-graph. Now one would like to treat the bin-element like any other #GstElement. This is where GhostPads come into play. A GhostPad acts as a proxy for another pad. Thus the bin can have sink and source ghost-pads that are associated with sink and source pads of the child elements.

If the target pad is known at creation time, gst_ghost_pad_new() is the function to use to get a ghost-pad. Otherwise one can use gst_ghost_pad_new_no_target() to create the ghost-pad and use gst_ghost_pad_set_target() to establish the association later on.

Note that GhostPads add overhead to the data processing of a pipeline.

Constructors

this
this(GstGhostPad* gstGhostPad, bool ownedRef)

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

this
this(string name, Pad target)

Create a new ghostpad with @target as the target. The direction will be taken from the target pad. @target must be unlinked.

this
this(string name, Pad target, PadTemplate templ)

Create a new ghostpad with @target as the target. The direction will be taken from the target pad. The template used on the ghostpad will be @template.

this
this(string name, GstPadDirection dir)

Create a new ghostpad without a target with the given direction. A target can be set on the ghostpad later with the gst_ghost_pad_set_target() function.

this
this(string name, PadTemplate templ)

Create a new ghostpad based on @templ, without setting a target. The direction will be taken from the @templ.

Members

Functions

construct
bool construct()

Finish initialization of a newly allocated ghost pad.

getGhostPadStruct
GstGhostPad* getGhostPadStruct(bool transferOwnership)

Get the main Gtk struct

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getTarget
Pad getTarget()

Get the target pad of @gpad. Unref target pad after usage.

setStruct
void setStruct(GObject* obj)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
setTarget
bool setTarget(Pad newtarget)

Set the new target of the ghostpad @gpad. Any existing target is unlinked and links to the new target are established. if @newtarget is %NULL the target will be cleared.

Static functions

activateModeDefault
bool activateModeDefault(Pad pad, ObjectGst parent, GstPadMode mode, bool active)

Invoke the default activate mode function of a ghost pad.

getType
GType getType()
internalActivateModeDefault
bool internalActivateModeDefault(Pad pad, ObjectGst parent, GstPadMode mode, bool active)

Invoke the default activate mode function of a proxy pad that is owned by a ghost pad.
