timecodestamper
This element attaches a timecode into every incoming video frame. It starts counting from the stream time of each segment start, which it converts into a timecode.
Example launch line
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! timecodestamper ! autovideosink

Properties
auto-resync
“auto-resync” gboolean
If true resync last known timecode from upstream, otherwise only count up from the last known one
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : true
drop-frame
“drop-frame” gboolean
Use drop-frame timecodes for 29.97 and 59.94 FPS
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : true
ltc-auto-resync
“ltc-auto-resync” gboolean
If true the LTC timecode will be automatically resynced if it drifts, otherwise it will only be counted up from the last known one
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : true
ltc-extra-latency
“ltc-extra-latency” guint64
Extra latency to introduce for waiting for LTC timecodes
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : 150000000
ltc-timeout
“ltc-timeout” guint64
Time out LTC timecode if no new timecode was detected after this time
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : 18446744073709551615
post-messages
“post-messages” gboolean
Post element message containing the current timecode
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : false
rtc-auto-resync
“rtc-auto-resync” gboolean
If true the RTC timecode will be automatically resynced if it drifts, otherwise it will only be counted up from the last known one
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : true
rtc-max-drift
“rtc-max-drift” guint64
Maximum number of nanoseconds the RTC clock is allowed to drift from the video before it is resynced
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : 250000000
set
“set” Time-code-stamper-set *
Choose whether timecodes should be overridden or not
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : keep (1)
set-internal-timecode
“set-internal-timecode” GstVideoTimeCode *
If set, take this timecode as the internal timecode for the first frame and increment from it. Only the values itself and daily jam are taken, flags and frame rate are always determined by timecodestamper itself. If unset, the internal timecode will start at 0 with the daily jam being the current real-time clock time
Flags : Read / Write
source
“source” Time-code-stamper-source *
Choose from what source the timecode should be taken
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : internal (0)
timecode-offset
“timecode-offset” gint
Add this offset in frames to internal, LTC or RTC timecode, useful if there is an offset between the timecode source and video
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : 0
timeout
“timeout” guint64
Time out upstream timecode if no new timecode was detected after this time
Flags : Read / Write
Default value : 18446744073709551615
Named constants

Members
internal (0) – Use internal timecode counter, starting at zero or value set by property
zero (1) – Always use zero
last-known (2) – Count up from the last known upstream timecode or internal if unknown
last-known-or-zero (3) – Count up from the last known upstream timecode or zero if unknown
ltc (4) – Linear timecode from an audio device
rtc (5) – Timecode from real time clock
running-time (6) – Buffer running time as timecode
