Expand description

Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can handle. This allows for both inspection of handled types before loading the element plugin as well as identifying pads on elements that are not yet created (request or sometimes pads).

Pad and PadTemplates have Caps attached to it to describe the media type they are capable of dealing with. caps() or GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_CAPS() are used to get the caps of a padtemplate. It’s not possible to modify the caps of a padtemplate after creation.

PadTemplates have a PadPresence property which identifies the lifetime of the pad and that can be retrieved with GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_PRESENCE(). Also the direction of the pad can be retrieved from the PadTemplate with GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_DIRECTION().

The GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_NAME_TEMPLATE () is important for GST_PAD_REQUEST pads because it has to be used as the name in the ElementExtManual::request_pad_simple() call to instantiate a pad from this template.

Padtemplates can be created with new() or with gst_static_pad_template_get (), which creates a PadTemplate from a StaticPadTemplate that can be filled with the convenient GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE() macro.

A padtemplate can be used to create a pad (see Pad::from_template() or gst_pad_new_from_static_template ()) or to add to an element class (see gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template ()).

The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.

⚠️ The following code is in C ⚠️

  GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
  GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
    "sink",          // the name of the pad
    GST_PAD_SINK,    // the direction of the pad
    GST_PAD_ALWAYS,  // when this pad will be present
    GST_STATIC_CAPS (        // the capabilities of the padtemplate
      "audio/x-raw, "
        "channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
    )
  );
  void
  my_method (void)
  {
    GstPad *pad;
    pad = gst_pad_new_from_static_template (&my_template, "sink");
    ...
  }

The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an element class, this is usually done in the class_init of the class:

⚠️ The following code is in C ⚠️

  static void
  my_element_class_init (GstMyElementClass *klass)
  {
    GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (klass);

    gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template (gstelement_class, &my_template);
  }

name

parent

The parent of the object. Please note, that when changing the ‘parent’ property, we don’t emit notify and deep-notify signals due to locking issues. In some cases one can use element-added or element-removed signals on the parent to achieve a similar effect.

Signals

pad-created

This signal is fired when an element creates a pad from this template.

Object

deep-notify

The deep notify signal is used to be notified of property changes. It is typically attached to the toplevel bin to receive notifications from all the elements contained in that bin.
