#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAGS(frame) ((frame)->flags)

The entire set of flags for the frame

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET(frame,flag)   !!(GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAGS(frame) & (flag))

Checks whether the given flag is set

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET(frame,flag)     (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAGS(frame) |= (flag))

This macro sets the given bits

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_UNSET()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_UNSET(frame,flag)   (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAGS(frame) &= ~(flag))

This macro usets the given bits.

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_DECODE_ONLY(frame)     (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY))

Tests if the buffer should only be decoded but not sent downstream.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_FORCE_KEYFRAME()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_FORCE_KEYFRAME(frame)      (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME))

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS(frame)      (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS))

Tests if encoder should output stream headers before outputting the resulting encoded buffer for the given frame.

Applies only to frames provided to encoders. Decoders can safely ignore this field.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_SYNC_POINT()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_IS_SYNC_POINT(frame)      (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_IS_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SYNC_POINT))

Tests if the frame is a synchronization point (like a keyframe).

Decoder implementations can use this to detect keyframes.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_DECODE_ONLY()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_DECODE_ONLY(frame)    (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_DECODE_ONLY))

Sets the buffer to not be sent downstream.

Decoder implementation can use this if they have frames that are not meant to be displayed.

Encoder implementation can safely ignore this field.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_FORCE_KEYFRAME()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_FORCE_KEYFRAME(frame)     (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME))

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS(frame)     (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS))

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_SYNC_POINT()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_SET_SYNC_POINT(frame)     (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SYNC_POINT))

Sets the frame to be a synchronization point (like a keyframe).

Encoder implementations should set this accordingly.

Decoder implementing parsing features should set this when they detect such a synchronization point.

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_FORCE_KEYFRAME()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_FORCE_KEYFRAME(frame)   (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_UNSET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME))

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS(frame)   (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_UNSET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_FORCE_KEYFRAME_HEADERS))

GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_SYNC_POINT()

#define GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_UNSET_SYNC_POINT(frame)   (GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_UNSET(frame, GST_VIDEO_CODEC_FRAME_FLAG_SYNC_POINT))

gst_video_codec_frame_ref ()

GstVideoCodecFrame *
gst_video_codec_frame_ref (GstVideoCodecFrame *frame);

Increases the refcount of the given frame by one.

gst_video_codec_frame_unref ()

void
gst_video_codec_frame_unref (GstVideoCodecFrame *frame);

Decreases the refcount of the frame. If the refcount reaches 0, the frame will be freed.

gst_video_codec_frame_set_user_data ()

void
gst_video_codec_frame_set_user_data (GstVideoCodecFrame *frame,
                                     gpointer user_data,
                                     GDestroyNotify notify);

Sets user_data on the frame and the GDestroyNotify that will be called when the frame is freed. Allows to attach private data by the subclass to frames.

If a user_data was previously set, then the previous set notify will be called before the user_data is replaced.

gst_video_codec_frame_get_user_data ()

gpointer
gst_video_codec_frame_get_user_data (GstVideoCodecFrame *frame);

Gets private data set on the frame by the subclass via gst_video_codec_frame_set_user_data() previously.

gst_video_codec_state_ref ()

GstVideoCodecState *
gst_video_codec_state_ref (GstVideoCodecState *state);

Increases the refcount of the given state by one.

gst_video_codec_state_unref ()

void
gst_video_codec_state_unref (GstVideoCodecState *state);

Decreases the refcount of the state. If the refcount reaches 0, the state will be freed.

struct GstVideoCodecFrame

struct GstVideoCodecFrame {
  guint32 system_frame_number; /* ED */
  guint32 decode_frame_number; /* ED */
  guint32 presentation_frame_number; /* ED */

  int distance_from_sync; /* ED */

  GstBuffer *input_buffer; /* ED */
  GstBuffer *output_buffer; /* ED */

  GstClockTime deadline; /* D */
};

A GstVideoCodecFrame represents a video frame both in raw and encoded form.

enum GstVideoCodecFrameFlags

Flags for GstVideoCodecFrame

struct GstVideoCodecState

struct GstVideoCodecState {
  GstVideoInfo info;

  GstCaps *caps;

  GstBuffer *codec_data;

  GstCaps *allocation_caps;
};

Structure representing the state of an incoming or outgoing video stream for encoders and decoders.

Decoders and encoders will receive such a state through their respective set_format vmethods.

Decoders and encoders can set the downstream state, by using the gst_video_decoder_set_output_state() or gst_video_encoder_set_output_state() methods.
