GstVideoDecoder
This base class is for video decoders turning encoded data into raw video frames.
The GstVideoDecoder base class and derived subclasses should cooperate as follows:
Configuration
-
Initially, GstVideoDecoder calls start when the decoder element is activated, which allows the subclass to perform any global setup.
-
GstVideoDecoder calls set_format to inform the subclass of caps describing input video data that it is about to receive, including possibly configuration data. While unlikely, it might be called more than once, if changing input parameters require reconfiguration.
-
Incoming data buffers are processed as needed, described in Data Processing below.
-
GstVideoDecoder calls stop at end of all processing.
Data processing
-
The base class gathers input data, and optionally allows subclass to parse this into subsequently manageable chunks, typically corresponding to and referred to as 'frames'.
-
Each input frame is provided in turn to the subclass' handle_frame callback.
-
When the subclass enables the subframe mode with
gst_video_decoder_set_subframe_mode
, the base class will provide to the subclass the same input frame with different input buffers to the subclass handle_frame callback. During this call, the subclass needs to take ownership of the input_buffer as GstVideoCodecFrame.input_buffer will have been changed before the next subframe buffer is received. The subclass will callgst_video_decoder_have_last_subframe
when a new input frame can be created by the base class. Every subframe will share the same GstVideoCodecFrame.output_buffer to write the decoding result. The subclass is responsible to protect its access. -
If codec processing results in decoded data, the subclass should call gst_video_decoder_finish_frame to have decoded data pushed downstream. In subframe mode the subclass should call gst_video_decoder_finish_subframe until the last subframe where it should call gst_video_decoder_finish_frame. The subclass can detect the last subframe using GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER on buffers or using its own logic to collect the subframes. In case of decoding failure, the subclass must call gst_video_decoder_drop_frame or gst_video_decoder_drop_subframe, to allow the base class to do timestamp and offset tracking, and possibly to requeue the frame for a later attempt in the case of reverse playback.
Shutdown phase
- The GstVideoDecoder class calls stop to inform the subclass that data parsing will be stopped.
Additional Notes
-
Seeking/Flushing
- When the pipeline is seeked or otherwise flushed, the subclass is informed via a call to its reset callback, with the hard parameter set to true. This indicates the subclass should drop any internal data queues and timestamps and prepare for a fresh set of buffers to arrive for parsing and decoding.
-
End Of Stream
- At end-of-stream, the subclass parse function may be called some final times with the at_eos parameter set to true, indicating that the element should not expect any more data to be arriving, and it should parse and remaining frames and call gst_video_decoder_have_frame if possible.
The subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also needs to provide information about the output caps, when they are known. This may be when the base class calls the subclass' set_format function, though it might be during decoding, before calling gst_video_decoder_finish_frame. This is done via gst_video_decoder_set_output_state
The subclass is also responsible for providing (presentation) timestamps (likely based on corresponding input ones). If that is not applicable or possible, the base class provides limited framerate based interpolation.
Similarly, the base class provides some limited (legacy) seeking support if specifically requested by the subclass, as full-fledged support should rather be left to upstream demuxer, parser or alike. This simple approach caters for seeking and duration reporting using estimated input bitrates. To enable it, a subclass should call gst_video_decoder_set_estimate_rate to enable handling of incoming byte-streams.
The base class provides some support for reverse playback, in particular in case incoming data is not packetized or upstream does not provide fragments on keyframe boundaries. However, the subclass should then be prepared for the parsing and frame processing stage to occur separately (in normal forward processing, the latter immediately follows the former), The subclass also needs to ensure the parsing stage properly marks keyframes, unless it knows the upstream elements will do so properly for incoming data.
The bare minimum that a functional subclass needs to implement is:
-
Provide pad templates
-
Inform the base class of output caps via gst_video_decoder_set_output_state
-
Parse input data, if it is not considered packetized from upstream Data will be provided to parse which should invoke gst_video_decoder_add_to_frame and gst_video_decoder_have_frame to separate the data belonging to each video frame.
-
Accept data in handle_frame and provide decoded results to gst_video_decoder_finish_frame, or call gst_video_decoder_drop_frame.

gst_video_decoder_request_sync_point
gst_video_decoder_request_sync_point (GstVideoDecoder * dec, GstVideoCodecFrame * frame, GstVideoDecoderRequestSyncPointFlags flags)
Allows the GstVideoDecoder subclass to request from the base class that a new sync should be requested from upstream, and that frame was the frame when the subclass noticed that a new sync point is required. A reason for the subclass to do this could be missing reference frames, for example.
The base class will then request a new sync point from upstream as long as the time that passed since the last one is exceeding min-force-key-unit-interval.
The subclass can signal via flags how the frames until the next sync point should be handled:
- If GST_VIDEO_DECODER_REQUEST_SYNC_POINT_DISCARD_INPUT is selected then all following input frames until the next sync point are discarded. This can be useful if the lack of a sync point will prevent all further decoding and the decoder implementation is not very robust in handling missing references frames.
- If GST_VIDEO_DECODER_REQUEST_SYNC_POINT_CORRUPT_OUTPUT is selected then all output frames following frame are marked as corrupted via GST_BUFFER_FLAG_CORRUPTED. Corrupted frames can be automatically dropped by the base class, see discard-corrupted-frames. Subclasses can manually mark frames as corrupted via GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_CORRUPTED before calling gst_video_decoder_finish_frame.
Parameters:
dec

In either case, the same GstVideo.VideoCodecFrame will be passed to the GstVideoDecoderClass:handle_frame vmethod repeatedly with a different GstVideoCodecFrame:input_buffer every time until the end of the frame has been signaled using either method. This method must be called during the decoder subclass set_format call.
Parameters:
whether the input data should be considered as subframes.

GstVideo.VideoDecoder.set_subframe_mode
def GstVideo.VideoDecoder.set_subframe_mode (self, subframe_mode):
#python wrapper for 'gst_video_decoder_set_subframe_mode'
If this is set to TRUE, it informs the base class that the subclass can receive the data at a granularity lower than one frame.
Note that in this mode, the subclass has two options. It can either require the presence of a GST_VIDEO_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER to mark the end of a frame. Or it can operate in such a way that it will decode a single frame at a time. In this second case, every buffer that arrives to the element is considered part of the same frame until GstVideo.VideoDecoder.finish_frame is called.
In either case, the same GstVideo.VideoCodecFrame will be passed to the GstVideoDecoderClass:handle_frame vmethod repeatedly with a different GstVideoCodecFrame:input_buffer every time until the end of the frame has been signaled using either method.

Utility function that video decoder elements can use in case they encountered a data processing error that may be fatal for the current "data unit" but need not prevent subsequent decoding. Such errors are counted and if there are too many, as configured in the context's max_errors, the pipeline will post an error message and the application will be requested to stop further media processing. Otherwise, it is considered a "glitch" and only a warning is logged. In either case, ret is set to the proper value to return to upstream/caller (indicating either GST_FLOW_ERROR or GST_FLOW_OK).
Parameters:
el
–
the base video decoder element that generates the error
w
–
element defined weight of the error, added to error count
domain
–
like CORE, LIBRARY, RESOURCE or STREAM (see Core Library-GstGError)
