Struct gstreamer::Element[][src]

pub struct Element(_);

GstElement is the abstract base class needed to construct an element that can be used in a GStreamer pipeline. Please refer to the plugin writers guide for more information on creating crate::Element subclasses.

The name of a crate::Element can be get with gst_element_get_name() and set with gst_element_set_name(). For speed, GST_ELEMENT_NAME() can be used in the core when using the appropriate locking. Do not use this in plug-ins or applications in order to retain ABI compatibility.

Elements can have pads (of the type crate::Pad). These pads link to pads on other elements. crate::Buffer flow between these linked pads. A crate::Element has a [crate::glib::List] of crate::Pad structures for all their input (or sink) and output (or source) pads. Core and plug-in writers can add and remove pads with crate::prelude::ElementExt::add_pad() and crate::prelude::ElementExt::remove_pad().

An existing pad of an element can be retrieved by name with [crate::prelude::ElementExt::get_static_pad()]. A new dynamic pad can be created using crate::prelude::ElementExt::request_pad() with a crate::PadTemplate. An iterator of all pads can be retrieved with [crate::prelude::ElementExt::iterate_pads()].

Elements can be linked through their pads. If the link is straightforward, use the crate::prelude::ElementExt::link() convenience function to link two elements, or [crate::prelude::ElementExt::link_many()] for more elements in a row. Use crate::prelude::ElementExt::link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by a specified set of crate::Caps. For finer control, use crate::prelude::ElementExt::link_pads() and crate::prelude::ElementExt::link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on each element by name.

Each element has a state (see crate::State). You can get and set the state of an element with [crate::prelude::ElementExt::get_state()] and crate::prelude::ElementExt::set_state(). Setting a state triggers a crate::StateChange. To get a string representation of a crate::State, use [Self::state_get_name()].

You can get and set a crate::Clock on an element using [crate::prelude::ElementExt::get_clock()] and crate::prelude::ElementExt::set_clock(). Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if the [crate::ElementFlags::ProvideClock] flag is set. With the crate::prelude::ElementExt::provide_clock() method one can retrieve the clock provided by such an element. Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If the crate::ElementFlags::RequireClock flag is set, a clock should be set on the element with crate::prelude::ElementExt::set_clock().

Note that clock selection and distribution is normally handled by the toplevel crate::Pipeline so the clock functions are only to be used in very specific situations.

This is an Abstract Base Class, you cannot instantiate it.
