## Detailed Description

A base class for getrange based source elements.

This is a generice base class for source elements. The following types of sources are supported:

- random access sources like files,
- seekable sources,
- live sources.

The source can be configured to operate in any Gst::Format with the set_format() method. The currently set format determines the format of the internal Gst::Segment and any Gst::EVENT_NEWSEGMENT events. The default format for Gst::BaseSrc is Gst::FORMAT_BYTES.

Gst::BaseSrc always supports push mode scheduling. If the following conditions are met, it also supports pull mode scheduling:

- The format is set to Gst::FORMAT_BYTES (default).
- Gst::BaseSrc::is_seekable_vfunc() returns TRUE.

Since GStreamer 0.10.9, any Gst::BaseSrc can enable pull based scheduling at any time by overriding Gst::BaseSrc::check_get_range_vfunc() so that it returns TRUE.

If all the conditions are met for operating in pull mode, Gst::BaseSrc is automatically seekable in push mode as well. The following conditions must be met to make the element seekable in push mode when the format is not Gst::FORMAT_BYTES:

- Gst::BaseSrc::is_seekable_vfunc() returns TRUE.
- Gst::BaseSrc::query_vfunc() can convert all supported seek formats to the internal format as set with set_format().
- Gst::BaseSrc::do_seek_vfunc() is implemented, performs the seek and returns TRUE.

When the element does not meet the requirements to operate in pull mode, the offset and length in the Gst::BaseSrc::create_vfunc() method should be ignored. It is recommended to subclass Gst::PushSrc instead, in this situation. If the element can operate in pull mode but only with specific offsets and lengths, it is allowed to generate an error when the wrong values are passed to the Gst::BaseSrc::create_vfunc() function.

Gst::BaseSrc has support for live sources. Live sources are sources that when paused discard data, such as audio or video capture devices. A typical live source also produces data at a fixed rate and thus provides a clock to publish this rate. Use set_live() to activate the live source mode.

A live source does not produce data in the PAUSED state. This means that the Gst::BaseSrc::create_vfunc() method will not be called in PAUSED but only in PLAYING. To signal the pipeline that the element will not produce data, the return value from the READY to PAUSED state will be Gst::STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL.

A typical live source will timestamp the buffers it creates with the current running time of the pipeline. This is one reason why a live source can only produce data in the PLAYING state, when the clock is actually distributed and running.

Live sources that synchronize and block on the clock (an audio source, for example) can since GStreamer 0.10.12 use wait_playing() when the create_vfunc() function was interrupted by a state change to PAUSED.

The Gst::BaseSrc::get_times_vfunc() method can be used to implement pseudo-live sources. It only makes sense to implement the get_times_vfunc() function if the source is a live source. The get_times_vfunc() function should return timestamps starting from 0, as if it were a non-live source. The base class will make sure that the timestamps are transformed into the current running_time. The base source will then wait for the calculated running_time before pushing out the buffer.

For live sources, the base class will by default report a latency of 0. For pseudo live sources, the base class will by default measure the difference between the first buffer timestamp and the start time of get_times_vfunc() and will report this value as the latency. Subclasses should override the query_vfunc() function when this behaviour is not acceptable.

TODO: Edit below paragraph for C++ and include C++ example from C API (if necessary):

There is only support in Gst::BaseSrc for exactly one source pad, which should be named "src". A source implementation (subclass of Gst::BaseSrc) should install a pad template in its class_init function, like so:

// static
void SampleBaseSrc::base_init(Gst::ElementClass<SampleBaseSrc> *klass)
{
klass->add_pad_template(Gst::PadTemplate::create(
"src",
Gst::PAD_SRC,
Gst::PAD_ALWAYS,
Gst::Caps::create_from_string("x-application/x-foo1")
));
klass->set_metadata("Source name", "Source", "My source element", "The author <my.sink@my.email>");
}

## Controlled shutdown of live sources in applications

Applications that record from a live source may want to stop recording in a controlled way, so that the recording is stopped, but the data already in the pipeline is processed to the end (remember that many live sources would go on recording forever otherwise). For that to happen the application needs to make the source stop recording and send an EOS event down the pipeline. The application would then wait for an EOS message posted on the pipeline's bus to know when all data has been processed and the pipeline can safely be stopped.

Since GStreamer 0.10.16 an application may send an EOS event to a source element to make it perform the EOS logic (send EOS event downstream or post a Gst::MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE on the bus). This can typically be done with the Gst::Element::send_event() function on the element or its parent bin.

After the EOS has been sent to the element, the application should wait for an EOS message to be posted on the pipeline's bus. Once this EOS message is received, it may safely shut down the entire pipeline.

The old behaviour for controlled shutdown introduced since GStreamer 0.10.3 is still available but deprecated as it is dangerous and less flexible.

Otherwise, size is checked for upon each read.

Parameters

  dynamic_size | New dynamic size mode.

## ◆ set_format()

void Gst::BaseSrc::set_format | ( | Format | format | ) |

Sets the default format of the source.

This will be the format used for sending SEGMENT events and for performing seeks.

If a format of GST_FORMAT_BYTES is set, the element will be able to operate in pull mode if the Gst::BaseSrcClass.is_seekable() returns `true`.

This function must only be called in states < Gst::STATE_PAUSED.

Parameters

  format | The format to use.

## ◆ set_live()

void Gst::BaseSrc::set_live | ( | bool | live | ) |

If the element listens to a live source, live should be set to `true`.

A live source will not produce data in the PAUSED state and will therefore not be able to participate in the PREROLL phase of a pipeline. To signal this fact to the application and the pipeline, the state change return value of the live source will be GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL.

Parameters

  live | New live-mode.

## ◆ start_complete()

void Gst::BaseSrc::start_complete | ( | Gst::FlowReturn | ret | ) |

Complete an asynchronous start operation.

Parameters

  ret | A Gst::FlowReturn.

## ◆ start_vfunc()

virtual bool Gst::BaseSrc::start_vfunc | ( |  | ) |

## ◆ unlock_vfunc()

virtual bool Gst::BaseSrc::unlock_vfunc | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Unlock any pending access to the resource.

Subclasses should unblock any blocked function ASAP.

## ◆ wait_playing()

FlowReturn Gst::BaseSrc::wait_playing | ( |  | ) |

If the Gst::BaseSrcClass.create() method performs its own synchronisation against the clock it must unblock when going from PLAYING to the PAUSED state and call this method before continuing to produce the remaining data.

This function will block until a state change to PLAYING happens (in which case this function returns Gst::FLOW_OK) or the processing must be stopped due to a state change to READY or a FLUSH event (in which case this function returns Gst::FLOW_FLUSHING).

Returns
  Gst::FLOW_OK if src is PLAYING and processing can continue. Any other return value should be returned from the create vmethod.
