26 * @short_description: Base class for the GStreamer object hierarchy
28 * #GstObject provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the
29 * GStreamer library. It is currently a thin wrapper on top of
30 * #GInitiallyUnowned. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own.
32 * #GstObject gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking.
33 * Most of the function are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be
34 * found under the same name in the base class of #GstObject which is #GObject
35 * (e.g. g_object_ref() becomes gst_object_ref()).
37 * Since #GstObject dereives from #GInitiallyUnowned, it also inherits the
38 * floating reference. Be aware that functions such as gst_bin_add() and
39 * gst_element_add_pad() take ownership of the floating reference.
41 * In contrast to #GObject instances, #GstObject adds a name property. The functions
42 * gst_object_set_name() and gst_object_get_name() are used to set/get the name
46 * <title>controlled properties</title>
48 * Controlled properties offers a lightweight way to adjust gobject
49 * properties over stream-time. It works by using time-stamped value pairs that
50 * are queued for element-properties. At run-time the elements continously pull
51 * values changes for the current stream-time.
53 * What needs to be changed in a #GstElement?
54 * Very little - it is just two steps to make a plugin controllable!
57 * mark gobject-properties paramspecs that make sense to be controlled,
58 * by GST_PARAM_CONTROLLABLE.
61 * when processing data (get, chain, loop function) at the beginning call
62 * gst_object_sync_values(element,timestamp).
63 * This will made the controller to update all gobject properties that are under
64 * control with the current values based on timestamp.
68 * What needs to be done in applications?
69 * Again its not a lot to change.
72 * first put some properties under control, by calling
73 * gst_object_control_properties (object, "prop1", "prop2",...);
76 * create a #GstControlSource.
77 * csource = gst_interpolation_control_source_new ();
78 * g_object_set (csource, "mode", GST_INTERPOLATION_MODE_LINEAR, NULL);
81 * Attach the #GstControlSource on the controller to a property.
82 * gst_object_add_control_binding (object, gst_direct_control_binding_new (objetct, "prop1", csource));
85 * Set the control values
86 * gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,0 * GST_SECOND, value1);
87 * gst_timed_value_control_source_set ((GstTimedValueControlSource *)csource,1 * GST_SECOND, value2);
