313 * faster but less accurate.
314 * @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SEGMENT: perform a segment seek.
315 * @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SKIP: when doing fast foward or fast reverse playback, allow
316 * elements to skip frames instead of generating all
317 * frames. Since 0.10.22.
319 * Flags to be used with gst_element_seek() or gst_event_new_seek(). All flags
320 * can be used together.
322 * A non flushing seek might take some time to perform as the currently
323 * playing data in the pipeline will not be cleared.
325 * An accurate seek might be slower for formats that don't have any indexes
326 * or timestamp markers in the stream. Specifying this flag might require a
327 * complete scan of the file in those cases.
329 * When performing a segment seek: after the playback of the segment completes,
330 * no EOS will be emmited by the element that performed the seek, but a
331 * #GST_MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE message will be posted on the bus by the element.
332 * When this message is posted, it is possible to send a new seek event to
333 * continue playback. With this seek method it is possible to perform seemless
334 * looping or simple linear editing.
336 * When doing fast forward (rate > 1.0) or fast reverse (rate < -1.0) trickmode
337 * playback, the @GST_SEEK_FLAG_SKIP flag can be used to instruct decoders
338 * and demuxers to adjust the playback rate by skipping frames. This can improve
339 * performance and decrease CPU usage because not all frames need to be decoded.
341 * Also see part-seeking.txt in the GStreamer design documentation for more
342 * details on the meaning of these flags and the behaviour expected of
