GstBin
GstBin is an element that can contain other GstElement, allowing them to be managed as a group. Pads from the child elements can be ghosted to the bin, see GstGhostPad. This makes the bin look like any other elements and enables creation of higher-level abstraction elements.
A new GstBin is created with gst_bin_new. Use a GstPipeline instead if you want to create a toplevel bin because a normal bin doesn't have a bus or handle clock distribution of its own.
After the bin has been created you will typically add elements to it with gst_bin_add. You can remove elements with gst_bin_remove.
An element can be retrieved from a bin with gst_bin_get_by_name, using the elements name. gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up is mainly used for internal purposes and will query the parent bins when the element is not found in the current bin.
An iterator of elements in a bin can be retrieved with gst_bin_iterate_elements. Various other iterators exist to retrieve the elements in a bin.
gst_object_unref is used to drop your reference to the bin.
The element-added signal is fired whenever a new element is added to the bin. Likewise the element-removed signal is fired whenever an element is removed from the bin.
A GstBin internally intercepts every GstMessage posted by its children and implements the following default behaviour for each of them:
-
GST_MESSAGE_EOS: This message is only posted by sinks in the PLAYING state. If all sinks posted the EOS message, this bin will post and EOS message upwards.
-
GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START: Just collected and never forwarded upwards. The messages are used to decide when all elements have completed playback of their segment.
-
GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE: Is posted by GstBin when all elements that posted a SEGMENT_START have posted a SEGMENT_DONE.
-
GST_MESSAGE_DURATION_CHANGED: Is posted by an element that detected a change in the stream duration. The duration change is posted to the application so that it can refetch the new duration with a duration query.
Note that these messages can be posted before the bin is prerolled, in which case the duration query might fail.
Note also that there might be a discrepancy (due to internal buffering/queueing) between the stream being currently displayed and the returned duration query.
Applications might want to also query for duration (and changes) by listening to the GST_MESSAGE_STREAM_START message, signaling the active start of a (new) stream.
-
GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_LOST: This message is posted by an element when it can no longer provide a clock.
The default bin behaviour is to check if the lost clock was the one provided by the bin. If so and the bin is currently in the PLAYING state, the message is forwarded to the bin parent.
This message is also generated when a clock provider is removed from the bin. If this message is received by the application, it should PAUSE the pipeline and set it back to PLAYING to force a new clock distribution.
-
GST_MESSAGE_CLOCK_PROVIDE: This message is generated when an element can provide a clock. This mostly happens when a new clock provider is added to the bin.
The default behaviour of the bin is to mark the currently selected clock as dirty, which will perform a clock recalculation the next time the bin is asked to provide a clock.
This message is never sent to the application but is forwarded to the parent of the bin.
-
OTHERS: posted upwards.
A GstBin implements the following default behaviour for answering to a GstQuery:
-
GST_QUERY_DURATION: The bin will forward the query to all sink elements contained within and will return the maximum value. If no sinks are available in the bin, the query fails.
-
GST_QUERY_POSITION: The query is sent to all sink elements in the bin and the MAXIMUM of all values is returned. If no sinks are available in the bin, the query fails.
-
OTHERS: the query is forwarded to all sink elements, the result of the first sink that answers the query successfully is returned. If no sink is in the bin, the query fails.
A GstBin will by default forward any event sent to it to all sink ( GST_EVENT_TYPE_UPSTREAM ) or source ( GST_EVENT_TYPE_DOWNSTREAM ) elements depending on the event type.
If all the elements return TRUE, the bin will also return TRUE, else FALSE is returned. If no elements of the required type are in the bin, the event handler will return TRUE.

Class structure
GstBinClass
Subclasses can override add_element and remove_element to update the list of children in the bin.
The handle_message method can be overridden to implement custom message handling.
deep_element_added will be called when a new element has been added to any bin inside this bin, so it will also be called if a new child was added to a sub-bin of this bin. GstBin implementations that override this message should chain up to the parent class implementation so the deep-element-added signal is emitted on all parents.

Methods
gst_bin_add
gboolean gst_bin_add (GstBin * bin, GstElement * element)
Adds the given element to the bin. Sets the element's parent, and thus takes ownership of the element. An element can only be added to one bin.
If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is added to the bin.
When you add an element to an already-running pipeline, you will have to take care to set the state of the newly-added element to the desired state (usually PLAYING or PAUSED, same you set the pipeline to originally) with gst_element_set_state, or use gst_element_sync_state_with_parent. The bin or pipeline will not take care of this for you.
Gst.Bin.prototype.add
function Gst.Bin.prototype.add(element: Gst.Element): {
// javascript wrapper for 'gst_bin_add'
}
Adds the given element to the bin. Sets the element's parent, and thus takes ownership of the element. An element can only be added to one bin.
If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is added to the bin.
When you add an element to an already-running pipeline, you will have to take care to set the state of the newly-added element to the desired state (usually PLAYING or PAUSED, same you set the pipeline to originally) with Gst.Element.prototype.set_state, or use Gst.Element.prototype.sync_state_with_parent.

do-latency
gboolean do_latency_callback (GstBin * self, gpointer user_data)
Will be emitted when the bin needs to perform latency calculations. This signal is only emitted for toplevel bins or when async-handling is enabled.
Only one signal handler is invoked. If no signals are connected, the default handler is invoked, which will query and distribute the lowest possible latency to all sinks.
Connect to this signal if the default latency calculations are not sufficient, like when you need different latencies for different sinks in the same pipeline.

Properties
async-handling
“async-handling” gboolean
If set to TRUE, the bin will handle asynchronous state changes. This should be used only if the bin subclass is modifying the state of its children on its own.
Flags : Read / Write
message-forward
“message-forward” gboolean
Forward all children messages, even those that would normally be filtered by the bin. This can be interesting when one wants to be notified of the EOS state of individual elements, for example.
The messages are converted to an ELEMENT message with the bin as the
source. The structure of the message is named GstBinForwarded
and contains
a field named message
that contains the original forwarded GstMessage.
Flags : Read / Write
message-forward
“message-forward” Number
Forward all children messages, even those that would normally be filtered by the bin. This can be interesting when one wants to be notified of the EOS state of individual elements, for example.
The messages are converted to an ELEMENT message with the bin as the
source. The structure of the message is named GstBinForwarded
and contains
a field named message
that contains the original forwarded Gst.Message.
Flags : Read / Write
message_forward
“self.props.message_forward” bool
Forward all children messages, even those that would normally be filtered by the bin. This can be interesting when one wants to be notified of the EOS state of individual elements, for example.
The messages are converted to an ELEMENT message with the bin as the
source. The structure of the message is named GstBinForwarded
