24 * @short_description: Asynchronous message bus subsystem
25 * @see_also: #GstMessage, #GstElement
27 * The #GstBus is an object responsible for delivering #GstMessages in
28 * a first-in first-out way from the streaming threads to the application.
30 * Since the application typically only wants to deal with delivery of these
31 * messages from one thread, the GstBus will marshall the messages between
32 * different threads. This is important since the actual streaming of media
33 * is done in another thread than the application.
35 * The GstBus provides support for #GSource based notifications. This makes it
36 * possible to handle the delivery in the glib mainloop.
38 * The #GSource callback function gst_bus_async_signal_func() can be used to
39 * convert all bus messages into signal emissions.
41 * A message is posted on the bus with the gst_bus_post() method. With the
42 * gst_bus_peek() and gst_bus_pop() methods one can look at or retrieve a
43 * previously posted message.
45 * The bus can be polled with the gst_bus_poll() method. This methods blocks
46 * up to the specified timeout value until one of the specified messages types
47 * is posted on the bus. The application can then _pop() the messages from the
49 * Alternatively the application can register an asynchronous bus function
50 * using gst_bus_add_watch_full() or gst_bus_add_watch(). This function will
51 * install a #GSource in the default glib main loop and will deliver messages
52 * a short while after they have been posted. Note that the main loop should
53 * be running for the asynchronous callbacks.
55 * It is also possible to get messages from the bus without any thread
56 * marshalling with the gst_bus_set_sync_handler() method. This makes it
57 * possible to react to a message in the same thread that posted the
58 * message on the bus. This should only be used if the application is able
59 * to deal with messages from different threads.
61 * Every #GstPipeline has one bus.
63 * Note that a #GstPipeline will set its bus into flushing state when changing
64 * from READY to NULL state.

996 * You can specify a maximum time to poll with the @timeout parameter. If

1001 * Because poll is implemented using the "message" signal enabled by

1012 * other non-trivial application that uses the GLib main loop. As this function
1013 * runs a GLib main loop, any callback attached to the default GLib main
1014 * context may be invoked. This could be timeouts, GUI events, I/O events etc.;
1015 * even if gst_bus_poll() is called with a 0 timeout. Any of these callbacks
1016 * may do things you do not expect, e.g. destroy the main application window or
1017 * some other resource; change other application state; display a dialog and
1018 * run another main loop until the user clicks it away. In short, using this
1019 * function may add a lot of complexity to your code through unexpected
1020 * re-entrancy and unexpected changes to your application's state.
1022 * For 0 timeouts use gst_bus_pop_filtered() instead of this function; for
1023 * other short timeouts use gst_bus_timed_pop_filtered(); everything else is
1024 * better handled by setting up an asynchronous bus watch and doing things
1027 * Returns: The message that was received, or NULL if the poll timed out.
