Detailed Description

The API for filters documents declaration of filters, their creation and functions available to interact with the filter session. The gf_filter_* functions shall only be called from within a given filter, this filter being the target of the function. This is not checked at runtime.

Calling these functions on other filters will result in unpredictable behavior, very likely crashes in multi-threading conditions.

A filter is instanciated through a filter register. The register holds entry points to a filter, arguments of a filter (basically property values) and capabilities.

Capabilities are used to check if a filter can be connected to a given input PID, or if two filters can be directly connected (capability match).

Capabilities are organized in so-called bundles, gathering the caps that shall be present or not present in the PID / connecting filter. Typically a capability bundle will contain a stream type for input a stream type for output, a codec id for input and a codec id for output.

Several capability bundles can be used if needed. A good example is the writegen filter in GPAC, which simply transforms a sequence of media frames into a raw file, hence converts stream_type/codecID to file extension and MIME type - cf gpac/src/filters/write_generic.c

When resolving a chain, PID properties are checked against these capabilities. If a property of the same type exists in the PID than in the capability, it must match the capability requirement (equal, excluded). If no property exists for a given non-optional capability type, the bundle is marked as not matching and the ext capability bundle in the filter is checked. A PID property not listed in any capability of the filter does not impact the matching.

The GF_PROP_PID_FILE_EXT and GF_PROP_PID_MIME are handled as alternate to each other, this allows matching a PID if either its MIME or extension map and avoids failing if the pid has no MIME or extension set.

Data Structure Documentation

◆ GF_FilterArgs

struct GF_FilterArgs

Structure holding arguments for a filter

Data Fields
const char *	arg_name	argument name. Naming conventions: only use lowercase keep short and avoid '_'
s32	offset_in_private	offset of the argument in the structure, -1 means not exposed/stored in structure, in which case it is notified through the update_arg function. The offset is casted into the corresponding property value of the argument type
const char *	arg_desc	description of argument. Format conventions: first letter is lowercase except if it is an acronym (eg, 'IP'). description does not end with a '.'; multiple sentences are however allowed with '.' separators. description does not end with a new line CR or LF; multiple sentences are however allowed with '.' separators. keep it short. If too long, use " - see filter help" and put description in filter help. only use markdown '‘’ and '*', except for enumeration lists which shall use "- ". do not use CR/LF in description except to start enum types description. use infinitive (eg "set foo to bar" and not "sets foo to bar"). Enumerations should be described as: sentence(s)' ' (no '.' nor ':' at end) name1: val' ' (no '.' at end) nameN: val (no '.' nor ' ' at end of last value description) and enum value description order shall match enum order links are allowed, see GF_FilterRegister doc
GF_PropType	arg_type	type of argument - this is a property type
const char *	arg_default_val	default value of argument, can be NULL (for number types, value 0 for each dimension of the type is assumed)
const char *	min_max_enum	string describing an enum (unsigned integer type) or a min/max value. For min/max, the syntax is "min,max", with -I = -infinity and +I = +infinity For enum, the syntax is "a\|b\|...", resoling in a=0, b=1,... To skip a value insert '\|' eg "\|a\|b" resolves to a=1, b=2, "a\|\|b" resolves to a=0, b=2 Naming conventions for enumeration: use single word use lowercase escept for single/double characters name (eg 'A', 'V').
GF_FSArgumentFlags	flags	set of argument flags

◆ GF_FilterCapability

struct GF_FilterCapability

Filter capability description

Data Fields
u32	code	4cc of the capability listed. This shall be 0 or the type of a built-in property
GF_PropertyValue	val	default type and value of the capability listed
const char *	name	name of the capability listed, NULL if code is set. The special value * is used to indicate that the capability is solved at runtime (the filter must be loaded)
u32	flags	Flags of the capability
u8	priority	overrides the filter register priority for this capability. Usually 0

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ GF_FSArgumentFlags

enum GF_FSArgumentFlags

Structure holding arguments for a filter

Enumerator
GF_FS_ARG_HINT_NORMAL	used for GUI config: regular argument type
GF_FS_ARG_HINT_ADVANCED	used for GUI config: advanced argument type
GF_FS_ARG_HINT_EXPERT	used for GUI config: expert argument type
GF_FS_ARG_HINT_HIDE	used for GUI config: hidden argument type
GF_FS_ARG_UPDATE	if set indicates that the argument is updatable. If so, the value will be changed if offset_in_private is valid, and the update_args function will be called if not NULL
GF_FS_ARG_META	used by meta filters (ffmpeg & co) to indicate the parsing is handled by the filter in which case the type is overloaded to string and passed to the update_args function
GF_FS_ARG_META_ALLOC	internal flag used by meta filters (ffmpeg & co) to indicate the description of the argument is a dynamic allocated memory
GF_FS_ARG_SINK_ALIAS	internal flag used by filters acting as sinks (gsfmx in file mode) to allow retrieving dst url but avoid being used as direct sinks
GF_FS_ARG_UPDATE_SYNC	if set indicates that the argument is updatable only as a direct synchronous call (typically used for shared data). If so, the value will only be updated if the update directly targets the filter, and the global filter mutex will be locked before calling update_arg. It is however recommended for the calling app to lock the target filter whenever shared data is modified (see vout filter overlay argument for example) The filter should lock itself whenever appropriate using gf_filter_lock

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

Flags for filter capabilities

Enumerator
GF_CAPFLAG_IN_BUNDLE	when not set, indicates the start of a new set of capabilities. Set by default by the generic GF_CAPS_*
GF_CAPFLAG_INPUT	if set this is an input capability of the bundle
GF_CAPFLAG_OUTPUT	if set this is an output capability of the bundle. A capability can be declared both as input and output. For example stream type is usually the same on both inputs and outputs
GF_CAPFLAG_EXCLUDED	when set, the capability is valid if the value does not match. If an excluded capability is not found in the destination PID, it is assumed to match
GF_CAPFLAG_LOADED_FILTER	when set, the capability is validated only for filter loaded for this destination filter
GF_CAPFLAG_STATIC	Only used for output capabilities, indicates that this capability applies to all bundles. This avoids repeating capabilities common to all bundles by setting them only in the first
GF_CAPFLAG_OPTIONAL	Only used for input capabilities, indicates that this capability is optional in the input PID

◆ GF_FilterProbeScore

enum GF_FilterProbeScore

Filter probe score, used when probing a URL/MIME or when probing formats from data

Enumerator
GF_FPROBE_NOT_SUPPORTED	(de)mux format is not supported
GF_FPROBE_MAYBE_NOT_SUPPORTED	For demux only: format is maybe a match but garbage data was found at the start
GF_FPROBE_MAYBE_SUPPORTED	for demux: format is maybe a match and can maybe be demuxed for mux: format is supported with potentially missing features
GF_FPROBE_SUPPORTED	(de)mux format is supported
GF_FPROBE_FORCE	demux format should be handled by this filter
GF_FPROBE_EXT_MATCH	used by demux formats not supporting data prober

◆ GF_FSRegisterFlags

enum GF_FSRegisterFlags

Filter register flags

Enumerator
GF_FS_REG_MAIN_THREAD	when set indicates all calls shall take place in the main thread (running GL output) - to be refined
GF_FS_REG_CONFIGURE_MAIN_THREAD	when set indicates the initial call to configure_pid will happen in the main thread. This is typically called by decoders requiring a GL context (currently only in main thread) upon init, but not requiring it for the decode. Such decoders get their GL frames mapped (through get_gl_texture callback) in the main GL thread
GF_FS_REG_EXPLICIT_ONLY	when set indicates the filter does not take part of dynamic filter chain resolution and can only be used by explicitly loading the filter
GF_FS_REG_HIDE_WEIGHT	when set ignores the filter weight during link resolution - this is typically needed by decoders requiring a specific reframing so that the weight of the reframer+decoder is the same as the weight of other decoders
GF_FS_REG_ACT_AS_SOURCE	Usually set for filters acting as sources but without exposing an src argument. This prevents throwing warnings on arguments not handled by the filter
GF_FS_REG_ALLOW_CYCLIC	Indicates the filter can connect to another instance of the same class (avoids cyclic detection in linker graph) Filters of the same class can only connect directly to each other if the destination filter is explictly loaded
GF_FS_REG_DYNAMIC_PIDS	Indicates the filter PIDs may be dynamically added during process (e.g.M2TS, GSF, etc). This will prevent deactivating a filter when none of its output PIDs are connected
GF_FS_REG_SCRIPT	Indicates the filter is a script-based filter. The registry is not valid until the script is loaded
GF_FS_REG_META	Indicates the filter is a meta filter, wrapping various underlying filters (e.g. FFmpeg)
GF_FS_REG_DYNAMIC_REDIRECT	Indicates that this filter, when dynamically loaded, allows the link resolver to redirect PID connection to this filter rather than to its next explicitly loaded filter in the chain. This is typically used by mux filters
GF_FS_REG_REQUIRES_RESOLVER	Indicates the filter requires graph resolver (typically because it creates new destinations/sinks at run time)
GF_FS_REG_FORCE_REMUX	For sink filters, indicates the filter forces remux of input PIDs of type GF_STREAM_FILE (prevents direct file copy) For source filters, indicates the PIDs should be remuxed to a destination filter with force remux set
GF_FS_REG_SINGLE_THREAD	Indicates the filter must always be run by the same thread, except for the initialize and finalize methods
GF_FS_REG_TEMP_INIT	Indicates the filter needs to be initialized even if temoorary - see gf_filter_is_temporary. Always enabled if GF_FS_REG_META is set
GF_FS_REG_CUSTOM	flag dynamically set at runtime for custom filters

◆ GF_FilterSessionSepType

enum GF_FilterSessionSepType

Filter session separator set query

Enumerator
GF_FS_SEP_ARGS	queries the character code used to separate between filter arguments
GF_FS_SEP_NAME	queries the character code used to separate between argument name and value
GF_FS_SEP_FRAG	queries the character code used to indicate fragment identifiers (source PIDs, PID properties)
GF_FS_SEP_LIST	queries the character code used to separate items in a list
GF_FS_SEP_NEG	queries the character code used to negate values

GF_Err gf_filter_set_event_target	(	GF_Filter *	filter,
		Bool	enable_events
	)

Indicates that the filter accept and can process events coming from outside the filter chain, typically used by application firing events. The event is sent on the process_event function with no associated PID.

Parameters

filter	the target filter
enable_events	if GF_TRUE, the filter is considered an event target

Returns: error if any

◆ gf_filter_get_info()

const GF_PropertyValue* gf_filter_get_info	(	GF_Filter *	filter,
		u32	prop_4cc,
		GF_PropertyEntry **	propentry
	)

Looks for a built-in property value marked as informative on a filter on all PIDs (inputs and output) This is a recursive call on both input and output chain. There is no guarantee that a queried property will still be valid at the setter side upon returning the call, the setter could have already reassigned it to NULL. To avoids random behavior, the property returned is reference counted so that it is not destroyed by the setter while the caller uses it.

Properties retrieved shall be released using gf_filter_release_property. Failure to do so will cause memory leaks in the program.

If the propentry pointer references a non-null value, this value will be released using gf_filter_release_property, so make sure to initialize the pointer to a NULL value on the first call. This avoid calling gf_filter_release_property after each get_info in the calling code:

GF_PropertyEntry *pe=NULL;
const GF_PropertyValue *p;
p = gf_filter_get_info(filter, FOO, &pe);
if (p) { }
p = gf_filter_get_info_str(filter, "BAR", &pe);
if (p) { }
p = gf_filter_pid_get_info(PID, ABCD, &pe);
if (p) { }
p = gf_filter_pid_get_info_str(PID, "MyProp", &pe);
if (p) { }
gf_filter_release_property(pe);

Parameters

filter	the target filter
prop_4cc	the code of the built-in property to fetch
propentry	the property reference object for later release. SHALL not be NULL

Returns: the property if found NULL otherwise.

◆ gf_filter_get_info_str()
