Struct gstreamer::Bus[]

pub struct Bus(_, _);

The Bus is an object responsible for delivering Message packets in a first-in first-out way from the streaming threads (see Task) to the application.

Since the application typically only wants to deal with delivery of these messages from one thread, the GstBus will marshall the messages between different threads. This is important since the actual streaming of media is done in another thread than the application.

The GstBus provides support for glib::Source based notifications. This makes it possible to handle the delivery in the glib mainloop.

The glib::Source callback function Bus::async_signal_func can be used to convert all bus messages into signal emissions.

A message is posted on the bus with the Bus::post method. With the Bus::peek and Bus::pop methods one can look at or retrieve a previously posted message.

The bus can be polled with the Bus::poll method. This methods blocks up to the specified timeout value until one of the specified messages types is posted on the bus. The application can then Bus::pop the messages from the bus to handle them. Alternatively the application can register an asynchronous bus function using Bus::add_watch_full or Bus::add_watch. This function will install a glib::Source in the default glib main loop and will deliver messages a short while after they have been posted. Note that the main loop should be running for the asynchronous callbacks.

It is also possible to get messages from the bus without any thread marshalling with the Bus::set_sync_handler method. This makes it possible to react to a message in the same thread that posted the message on the bus. This should only be used if the application is able to deal with messages from different threads.

Every Pipeline has one bus.

Note that a Pipeline will set its bus into flushing state when changing from READY to NULL state.

Methods

impl Bus
[src]

Creates a new Bus instance.

Returns

a new Bus instance

Adds a bus signal watch to the default main context with the default priority (G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT). It is also possible to use a non-default main context set up using glib::MainContext::push_thread_default (before one had to create a bus watch source and attach it to the desired main context 'manually').

After calling this statement, the bus will emit the "message" signal for each message posted on the bus.

This function may be called multiple times. To clean up, the caller is responsible for calling Bus::remove_signal_watch as many times as this function is called.

MT safe.

Instructs GStreamer to stop emitting the "sync-message" signal for this bus. See Bus::enable_sync_message_emission for more information.

In the event that multiple pieces of code have called Bus::enable_sync_message_emission, the sync-message emissions will only be stopped after all calls to Bus::enable_sync_message_emission were "cancelled" by calling this function. In this way the semantics are exactly the same as GstObjectExt::ref that which calls enable should also call disable.

MT safe.

Instructs GStreamer to emit the "sync-message" signal after running the bus's sync handler. This function is here so that code can ensure that they can synchronously receive messages without having to affect what the bin's sync handler is.

This function may be called multiple times. To clean up, the caller is responsible for calling Bus::disable_sync_message_emission as many times as this function is called.

While this function looks similar to Bus::add_signal_watch, it is not exactly the same -- this function enables <emphasis>synchronous</emphasis> emission of signals when messages arrive; Bus::add_signal_watch adds an idle callback to pop messages off the bus <emphasis>asynchronously</emphasis>. The sync-message signal comes from the thread of whatever object posted the message; the "message" signal is marshalled to the main thread via the main loop.

MT safe.

Check if there are pending messages on the bus that should be handled.

Returns

true if there are messages on the bus to be handled, false otherwise.

MT safe.

Peek the message on the top of the bus' queue. The message will remain on the bus' message queue. A reference is returned, and needs to be unreffed by the caller.

Returns

the Message that is on the bus, or None if the bus is empty.

MT safe.

Get a message from the bus.

Returns

the Message that is on the bus, or None if the bus is empty. The message is taken from the bus and needs to be unreffed with gst_message_unref after usage.

MT safe.

Post a message on the given bus. Ownership of the message is taken by the bus.

message

the Message to post

Returns

true if the message could be posted, false if the bus is flushing.

MT safe.

Removes a signal watch previously added with Bus::add_signal_watch.

MT safe.

Removes an installed bus watch from self.

Returns

true on success or false if self has no event source.

If flushing, flush out and unref any messages queued in the bus. Releases references to the message origin objects. Will flush future messages until Bus::set_flushing sets flushing to false.

MT safe.

flushing

whether or not to flush the bus

Get a message from the bus, waiting up to the specified timeout.

If timeout is 0, this function behaves like Bus::pop. If timeout is GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE, this function will block forever until a message was posted on the bus.

timeout

a timeout

Returns

the Message that is on the bus after the specified timeout or None if the bus is empty after the timeout expired. The message is taken from the bus and needs to be unreffed with gst_message_unref after usage.

MT safe.

impl Bus
[src]

Adds a bus signal watch to the default main context with the given priority (e.g. G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT). It is also possible to use a non-default main context set up using glib::MainContext::push_thread_default (before one had to create a bus watch source and attach it to the desired main context 'manually').

After calling this statement, the bus will emit the "message" signal for each message posted on the bus when the main loop is running.

This function may be called multiple times. To clean up, the caller is responsible for calling Bus::remove_signal_watch as many times as this function is called.

There can only be a single bus watch per bus, you must remove any signal watch before you can set another type of watch.

MT safe.

priority

The priority of the watch.

Create watch for this bus. The GSource will be dispatched whenever a message is on the bus. After the GSource is dispatched, the message is popped off the bus and unreffed.

Returns

a glib::Source that can be added to a mainloop.
