## Detailed Description

Base class and element that can contain other elements.

Gst::Bin is an element that can contain other Gst::Element, allowing them to be managed as a group. Pads from the child elements can be ghosted to the bin, see Gst::GhostPad. This makes the bin look like any other elements and enables creation of higher-level abstraction elements.

A new Gst::Bin is created with create(). Use a Gst::Pipeline instead if you want to create a toplevel bin because a normal bin doesn't have a bus or handle clock distribution of its own.

After the bin has been created you will typically add elements to it with add(). You can remove elements with remove().

An element can be retrieved from a bin with get_element(), using the elements name. get_element_recurse_up() is mainly used for internal purposes and will query the parent bins when the element is not found in the current bin.

An iterator of elements in a bin can be retrieved with iterate_elements(). Various other iterators exist to retrieve the elements in a bin.

The element-added signal is fired whenever a new element is added to the bin. Likewise the element-removed signal is fired whenever an element is removed from the bin.

Notes:

A Gst::Bin internally intercepts every Gst::Message posted by its children and implements the following default behaviour for each of them:

- Gst::MESSAGE_EOS - This message is only posted by sinks in the PLAYING state. If all sinks posted the EOS message, this bin will post and EOS message upwards.
- Gst::MESSAGE_SEGMENT_START - just collected and never forwarded upwards. The messages are used to decide when all elements have completed playback of their segment.
- Gst::MESSAGE_SEGMENT_DONE - Is posted by Gst::Bin when all elements that posted a SEGMENT_START have posted a SEGMENT_DONE.
- Gst::MESSAGE_DURATION_CHANGED - Is posted by an element that detected a change in the stream duration. The default bin behaviour is to clear any cached duration values so that the next duration query will perform a full duration recalculation. The duration change is posted to the application so that it can refetch the new duration with a duration query. Note that these messages can be posted before the bin is prerolled, in which case the duration query might fail.
- Gst::MESSAGE_CLOCK_LOST - This message is posted by an element when it can no longer provide a clock. The default bin behaviour is to check if the lost clock was the one provided by the bin. If so and the bin is currently in the PLAYING state, the message is forwarded to the bin parent. This message is also generated when a clock provider is removed from the bin. If this message is received by the application, it should PAUSE the pipeline and set it back to PLAYING to force a new clock distribution.
- Gst::MESSAGE_CLOCK_PROVIDE - This message is generated when an element can provide a clock. This mostly happens when a new clock provider is added to the bin. The default behaviour of the bin is to mark the currently selected clock as dirty, which will perform a clock recalculation the next time the bin is asked to provide a clock. This message is never sent tot the application but is forwarded to the parent of the bin.
- OTHERS - posted upwards.

A Gst::Bin implements the following default behaviour for answering to a Gst::Query:

- Gst::QUERY_DURATION - If the query has been asked before with the same format and the bin is a toplevel bin (ie. has no parent), use the cached previous value. If no previous value was cached, the query is sent to all sink elements in the bin and the MAXIMUM of all values is returned. If the bin is a toplevel bin the value is cached. If no sinks are available in the bin, the query fails.
- Gst::QUERY_POSITION - The query is sent to all sink elements in the bin and the MAXIMUM of all values is returned. If no sinks are available in the bin, the query fails.
- OTHERS - the query is forwarded to all sink elements, the result of the first sink that answers the query successfully is returned. If no sink is in the bin, the query fails.

A Gst::Bin will by default forward any event sent to it to all sink elements. If all the sinks return true, the bin will also return true, else false is returned. If no sinks are in the bin, the event handler will return true.

## § add()

Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Bin> Gst::Bin::add | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Element >& | element | ) |

Adds the given element to the bin.

Sets the element's parent, and thus takes ownership of the element. An element can only be added to one bin.

If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is added to the bin.

When you add an element to an already-running pipeline, you will have to take care to set the state of the newly-added element to the desired state (usually PLAYING or PAUSED, same you set the pipeline to originally) with set_state(), or use sync_state_with_parent(). The bin or pipeline will not take care of this for you.

MT safe.

Parameters

  element | The Gst::Element to add.

Returns
  This Gst::Bin if successful, for chained calls to add().

Exceptions

  std::runtime_error | if the Bin does not want to accept the Element.

Examples:
  basics/bin.cc, basics/bus.cc, and basics/dynamic_pads.cc.

Query bin for the current latency using and reconfigures this latency to all the elements with a LATENCY event.

## § remove()

Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Bin> Gst::Bin::remove | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Element >& | element | ) |

Unparenting the element means that the element will be dereferenced, so if the bin holds the only reference to the element, the element will be freed in the process of removing it from the bin.

If the element's pads are linked to other pads, the pads will be unlinked before the element is removed from the bin.

MT safe.

Parameters

  element | the Gst::Element to remove

Returns
  this Gst::Bin if successful, for chained calls to remove().

Exceptions

  std::runtime_error | if the Bin does not want to remove the Element.

Examples:
  basics/bin.cc.

## § signal_do_latency()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool > Gst::Bin::signal_do_latency | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `bool on_my_do_latency()`

Will be emitted when the bin needs to perform latency calculations. This signal is only emitted for toplevel bins or when async-handling is enabled.

Only one signal handler is invoked. If no signals are connected, the default handler is invoked, which will query and distribute the lowest possible latency to all sinks.

Connect to this signal if the default latency calculations are not sufficient, like when you need different latencies for different sinks in the same pipeline.

## § signal_element_added()

Glib::SignalProxy< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element>& > Gst::Bin::signal_element_added | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:

Parameters

  element | The Gst::Element that was added to the bin.

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_element_removed(const Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Element>& element)`

Will be emitted after the element was removed from the bin.

Parameters

  element | The Gst::Element that was removed from the bin.

Examples:
  basics/bin.cc.

## § sync_children_states()

bool Gst::Bin::sync_children_states | ( |  | ) |

See also Gst::Element::sync_state_with_parent().

Returns
