Detailed Description

A PID is a connection between two filters, holding packets to process. Internally, a PID created by a filter (output PID) is different from an input PID to a filter (configure_pid) but the API has been designed to hide this, so that most PID functions can be called regardless of the input/output nature of the PID.

All setters functions (gf_filter_pid_set*) will fail on an input PID.

The generic design of the architecture is that each filter is free to decide how it handle PIDs and their packets. This implies that the filter session has no clue how an output PID relates to an input PID (same goes for packets). Developpers must therefore manually copy PID properties that seem relevant, or more practically copy all properties from input PID to output PID and reassign output PID properties changed by the filter.

PIDs can be reconfigured multiple times, even potentially changing caps on the fly. The current architecture does not check for capability matching during reconfigure, it is up to the filter to do so.

It is also up to filters to decide how to handle a an input PID removal: remove the output PID immediately, keep it open to flush internal data or keep generating data on the output. The usual practice is to remove the output as soon as the input is removed.

Once an input PID has been notified to be removed, it shall no longer be used by the filter, as it may be discarded/freed (PID are NOT reference counted).

Function Documentation

◆ gf_filter_pid_new()

GF_FilterPid* gf_filter_pid_new ( GF_Filter filter)

Creates a new output PID for the filter. If the filter has a single input PID already connected, the PID properties are copied by default

Parameters
filterthe target filter
Returns
the new output PID

◆ gf_filter_pid_remove()

void gf_filter_pid_remove ( GF_FilterPid PID)

Removes an output PID from the filter. This will trigger removal of the PID upward in the chain

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID to remove

◆ gf_filter_pid_raw_new()

GF_Err gf_filter_pid_raw_new ( GF_Filter filter,
const char *  url,
const char *  local_file,
const char *  mime_type,
const char *  fext,
const u8 probe_data,
u32  probe_size,
Bool  trust_mime,
GF_FilterPid **  out_pid 
)

Creates an output PID for a raw input filter (file, sockets, pipe, etc). This will assign file name, local name, mime and extension properties to the created PID

Parameters
filterthe target filter
urlURL of the source, SHALL be set
local_filepath on local host, can be NULL
mime_typemime type of the content. If none provided and propbe_data is not null, the data will be probed for mime type resolution
fextfile extension of the content. If NULL, will be extracted from URL
probe_datadata of the stream to probe in order to solve its mime type
probe_sizesize of the probe data
trust_mimeif set and mime_type is set, disables data probing
out_pidthe output PID to create or update. If no referer PID, a new PID will be created otherwise the PID will be updated
Returns
error code if any

◆ gf_filter_pid_set_property()

GF_Err gf_filter_pid_set_property ( GF_FilterPid PID,
u32  prop_4cc,
const GF_PropertyValue *  value 
)

Sets a new property on an output PID for built-in property names. Setting a new property will trigger a PID reconfigure at the consumption point of the next dispatched packet. Previous properties (ones set before last packet dispatch) will still be valid. You can remove any of them using gf_filter_pid_set_property with NULL property, or reset the properties with gf_filter_pid_reset_properties. There cannot be two instances of a property a given type/name:

  • If a property with same type/name exists and has the same value, assignment will be skipped: this avoids triggering PID reconfiguration when not needed. In that case, if the property contains memory to be passed to the filter session, this memory will be destroyed (eg GF_PROP_STRING_NO_COPY, GF_PROP_DATA_NO_COPY, GF_PROP_STRING_LIST).
  • If the values differ, the property will be reassigned. There cannot be tow instances of a proerty value with a given type/name.

Warning: changing a property at the final end of stream (i.e. if no more packets are sent) will have no effect. You must use gf_filter_pid_set_info and gf_filter_pid_get_info for this.

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
prop_4ccthe built-in property code to modify
valuethe new value to assign, or NULL if the property is to be removed
Returns
error code if any

◆ gf_filter_pid_set_property_str()

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
namethe name of the property to modify
valuethe new value to assign, or NULL if the property is to be removed
Returns
error code if any

◆ gf_filter_pid_set_property_dyn()

GF_Err gf_filter_pid_set_property_dyn ( GF_FilterPid PID,
char *  name,
const GF_PropertyValue *  value

namethe name of the property to modify. The name will be copied to the property, and memory destruction performed by the filter session
valuethe new value to assign, or NULL if the property is to be removed
Returns
error code if any

◆ gf_filter_pid_set_info()

GF_Err gf_filter_pid_set_info ( GF_FilterPid PID,
u32  prop_4cc,
const GF_PropertyValue *  value 
)

Sets a new info property on an output PID for built-in property names. Similar to gf_filter_pid_set_property, but infos are not copied up the chain and to not trigger PID reconfiguration. First packet dispatched after calling this function will be marked, and its fetching by the consuming filter will trigger a process_event notification. If the consuming filter copies properties from source packet to output packet, the flag will be passed to such new output packet.

If an info property with same type/name exists and has the same value, assignment will be skipped. In that case, if the property contains memory to be passed to the filter session, this memory will be destroyed (eg GF_PROP_STRING_NO_COPY, GF_PROP_DATA_NO_COPY, GF_PROP_STRING_LIST).

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
Returns
GF_TRUE if end of stream is temporary set on that PID (no more packet in queue)

◆ gf_filter_pid_first_packet_is_empty()

Bool gf_filter_pid_first_packet_is_empty ( GF_FilterPid PID)

Checks if there is a packet ready on an input PID.

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
Returns
GF_TRUE if packet is valid and blocking, GF_FALSE otherwise

◆ gf_filter_pid_get_packet()

GF_FilterPacket* gf_filter_pid_get_packet ( GF_FilterPid PID)

Gets the first packet in the input PID buffer. This may trigger a reconfigure signal on the filter. If reconfigure is not OK, returns NULL and the PID passed to the filter NO LONGER EXISTS (implicit remove) The packet is still present in the PID buffer until explicitly removed by gf_filter_pid_drop_packet

The returned packet is only valid for the current filter execution (process callback, task, ...), and may be discarded in-between calls, typically when the session is aborted. If a filter needs to keep a packet across calls, it must use gf_filter_pck_ref and gf_filter_pck_unref

If no packet is returned, the pid may be empty, in end of stream (cf gf_filter_pid_is_eos) or in flush (cf gf_filter_pid_is_flush_eos).

The first time this function is called on a PID at a flush point, it will return NULL even if some packets are pending. This allows the calling filter to detect if a flush point is reached and take appropriate actions. Subsequent calls will return the pending packet if any.

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
Returns
packet or NULL of empty or reconfigure error

◆ gf_filter_pid_get_first_packet_cts()

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
Returns
GF_TRUE if PID would enter blocking state , GF_FALSE otherwise

◆ gf_filter_pid_is_sparse()

Bool gf_filter_pid_is_sparse ( GF_FilterPid PID)

A PID is sparse if:

  • it has the property GF_PROP_PID_SPARSE set to true
  • or it does not have the property GF_PROP_PID_SPARSE defined and it is not an audio, video or file stream.
Parameters

Bool  filter_in_charge 
)

Indicates how clock references (PCR of MPEG-2) should be handled. By default these references are passed from input packets to output packets by the filter session (this assumes the filter doesn't modify composition timestamps). This default can be changed with this function.

  • $$ is an escape for $

Supported KEYWORD (case insensitive):

  • num: replaced by file_number (usually matches GF_PROP_PCK_FILENUM, but this property is not used in the solving mechanism)
  • PID: ID of the source PID
  • URL: URL of source file
  • File: path on disk for source file - if resolved value contains a URL scheme (e.g. foo://), it is ignored
  • p4cc=ABCD: uses PID property with 4CC ABCD
  • pname=VAL: uses PID property with name VAL (either built-in prop name or other peroperty name)
Parameters

◆ gf_filter_pid_set_discard()

GF_Err gf_filter_pid_set_discard ( GF_FilterPid PID,
Bool  discard_on 
)

Sets discard mode on or off on an input PID. When discard is on, all input packets for this PID are no longer dispatched.

This only affect the current PID, not the source filter(s) for that PID.

PID reconfigurations are still forwarded to the filter, so that a filter may decide to re-enable regular mode. Packets sent after a PID reconfiguration are kept until the PID is reconfigured, and discarded if the PID is still in discard mode.

This is typically needed for filters that stop consuming data for a while (dash forced period duration for example) but may resume consumption later on (stream moving from period 1 to period 2 for example).

Parameters
PIDthe target filter PID
discard_onenables/disables discard
Returns
error if any

◆ gf_filter_pid_discard_block()

void gf_filter_pid_discard_block ( GF_FilterPid PID)
