Description

The client object handles the connection with a client for as long as a TCP connection is open.

A GstRTSPClient is created by GstRTSPServer when a new connection is accepted and it inherits the GstRTSPMountPoints, GstRTSPSessionPool, GstRTSPAuth and GstRTSPThreadPool from the server.

The client connection should be configured with the GstRTSPConnection using gst_rtsp_client_set_connection() before it can be attached to a GMainContext using gst_rtsp_client_attach(). From then on the client will handle requests on the connection.

Use gst_rtsp_client_session_filter() to iterate or modify all the GstRTSPSession objects managed by the client object.

Call func for each session managed by client . The result value of func determines what happens to the session. func will be called with client locked so no further actions on client can be performed from func .

If func returns GST_RTSP_FILTER_REMOVE, the session will be removed from client .

If func returns GST_RTSP_FILTER_KEEP, the session will remain in client .

If func returns GST_RTSP_FILTER_REF, the session will remain in client but will also be added with an additional ref to the result GList of this function..

When func is NULL, GST_RTSP_FILTER_REF will be assumed for each session.

Parameters

client

a GstRTSPClient

 

func

a callback.

[scope call][allow-none]

user_data

user data passed to func

 

Returns

a GList with all sessions for which func returned GST_RTSP_FILTER_REF. After usage, each element in the GList should be unreffed before the list is freed.
