GstBuffer

Buffers are the basic unit of data transfer in GStreamer. They contain the timing and offset along with other arbitrary metadata that is associated with the GstMemory blocks that the buffer contains.

Buffers are usually created with gst_buffer_new. After a buffer has been created one will typically allocate memory for it and add it to the buffer. The following example creates a buffer that can hold a given video frame with a given width, height and bits per plane.

  GstBuffer *buffer;
  GstMemory *memory;
  gint size, width, height, bpp;
  ...
  size = width * height * bpp;
  buffer = gst_buffer_new ();
  memory = gst_allocator_alloc (NULL, size, NULL);
  gst_buffer_insert_memory (buffer, -1, memory);
  ...

Alternatively, use gst_buffer_new_allocate to create a buffer with preallocated data of a given size.

Buffers can contain a list of GstMemory objects. You can retrieve how many memory objects with gst_buffer_n_memory and you can get a pointer to memory with gst_buffer_peek_memory

A buffer will usually have timestamps, and a duration, but neither of these are guaranteed (they may be set to GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE). Whenever a meaningful value can be given for these, they should be set. The timestamps and duration are measured in nanoseconds (they are GstClockTime values).

The buffer DTS refers to the timestamp when the buffer should be decoded and is usually monotonically increasing. The buffer PTS refers to the timestamp when the buffer content should be presented to the user and is not always monotonically increasing.

A buffer can also have one or both of a start and an end offset. These are media-type specific. For video buffers, the start offset will generally be the frame number. For audio buffers, it will be the number of samples produced so far. For compressed data, it could be the byte offset in a source or destination file. Likewise, the end offset will be the offset of the end of the buffer. These can only be meaningfully interpreted if you know the media type of the buffer (the preceding CAPS event). Either or both can be set to GST_BUFFER_OFFSET_NONE.

gst_buffer_ref is used to increase the refcount of a buffer. This must be done when you want to keep a handle to the buffer after pushing it to the next element. The buffer refcount determines the writability of the buffer, a buffer is only writable when the refcount is exactly 1, i.e. when the caller has the only reference to the buffer.

To efficiently create a smaller buffer out of an existing one, you can use gst_buffer_copy_region. This method tries to share the memory objects between the two buffers.

If a plug-in wants to modify the buffer data or metadata in-place, it should first obtain a buffer that is safe to modify by using gst_buffer_make_writable. This function is optimized so that a copy will only be made when it is necessary.

Several flags of the buffer can be set and unset with the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_SET and GST_BUFFER_FLAG_UNSET macros. Use GST_BUFFER_FLAG_IS_SET to test if a certain GstBufferFlags flag is set.

Buffers can be efficiently merged into a larger buffer with gst_buffer_append. Copying of memory will only be done when absolutely needed.

Arbitrary extra metadata can be set on a buffer with gst_buffer_add_meta. Metadata can be retrieved with gst_buffer_get_meta. See also GstMeta.

An element should either unref the buffer or push it out on a src pad using gst_pad_push (see GstPad).

Buffers are usually freed by unreffing them with gst_buffer_unref. When the refcount drops to 0, any memory and metadata pointed to by the buffer is unreffed as well. Buffers allocated from a GstBufferPool will be returned to the pool when the refcount drops to 0.

The GstParentBufferMeta is a meta which can be attached to a GstBuffer to hold a reference to another buffer that is only released when the child GstBuffer is released.

Typically, GstParentBufferMeta is used when the child buffer is directly using the GstMemory of the parent buffer, and wants to prevent the parent buffer from being returned to a buffer pool until the GstMemory is available for re-use. (Since: 1.6)

gst_buffer_is_writable

#define gst_buffer_is_writable(buf)     gst_mini_object_is_writable (GST_MINI_OBJECT_CAST (buf))

Tests if you can safely write to a buffer's metadata or its memory array. It is only safe to change buffer metadata when the current reference is writable, i.e. nobody can see the modifications you will make.

Parameters:

buf

a GstBuffer


gst_buffer_make_writable

#define gst_buffer_make_writable(buf)   GST_BUFFER_CAST (gst_mini_object_make_writable (GST_MINI_OBJECT_CAST (buf)))

Returns a writable copy of buf. If the source buffer is already writable, this will simply return the same buffer.

Use this function to ensure that a buffer can be safely modified before making changes to it, including changing the metadata such as PTS/DTS.

If the reference count of the source buffer buf is exactly one, the caller is the sole owner and this function will return the buffer object unchanged.

If there is more than one reference on the object, a copy will be made using gst_buffer_copy. The passed-in buf will be unreffed in that case, and the caller will now own a reference to the new returned buffer object. Note that this just copies the buffer structure itself, the underlying memory is not copied if it can be shared amongst multiple buffers.

In short, this function unrefs the buf in the argument and refs the buffer that it returns. Don't access the argument after calling this function unless you have an additional reference to it.

Parameters:

buf ( [transfer: full])

a GstBuffer

Returns ( [transfer: full][nullable])

a writable buffer (which may or may not be the same as buf) or NULL if copying is required but not possible.


gst_value_get_buffer

#define gst_value_get_buffer(v)         GST_BUFFER_CAST (g_value_get_boxed(v))

Receives a GstBuffer as the value of v. Does not return a reference to the buffer, so the pointer is only valid for as long as the caller owns a reference to v.

Parameters:

v

a GValue to query

Returns ( [transfer: none])

buffer


gst_value_set_buffer

#define gst_value_set_buffer(v,b)       g_value_set_boxed((v),(b))

Sets b as the value of v. Caller retains reference to buffer.

Parameters:

v

a GValue to receive the data

b ( [transfer: none])

a GstBuffer to assign to the GstValue


gst_value_take_buffer

#define gst_value_take_buffer(v,b)      g_value_take_boxed(v,(b))

Sets b as the value of v. Caller gives away reference to buffer.

Parameters:

v

a GValue to receive the data

b ( [transfer: full])

a GstBuffer to assign to the GstValue
