Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MemoryInputPlugin()

ts::MemoryInputPlugin::MemoryInputPlugin

(

TSP *

tsp

)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]

tsp

Associated callback to tsp executable.

Member Function Documentation

getOptions()

virtual bool ts::MemoryInputPlugin::getOptions ( )

overridevirtual

The main application invokes getOptions() only once, at application startup.

Optionally implemented by subclasses to analyze the command line options. A plugin may ignore getOptions() and analyzes the command line options as part of the start() method. However, if a plugin is started later, command line errors may be reported too late.

Returns

True on success, false on error (ie. not started).

Reimplemented from ts::Plugin.

receive()

virtual size_t ts::MemoryInputPlugin::receive ( TSPacket *  buffer, TSPacketMetadata *  pkt_data, size_t  max_packets  )

overridevirtual

Packet reception interface.

The main application invokes receive() to get input packets. This method reads complete 188-byte TS packets in the buffer (never read partial packets).

Parameters

[out]	buffer	Address of the buffer for incoming packets.
[in,out]	pkt_data	Array of metadata for incoming packets. A packet and its metadata have the same index in their respective arrays.
[in]	max_packets	Size of buffer in number of packets.

Returns

The number of actually received packets (in the range 1 to max_packets). Returning zero means error or end of input.

Implements ts::InputPlugin.

setReceiveTimeout()

virtual bool ts::InputPlugin::setReceiveTimeout ( cn::milliseconds  timeout )

virtualinherited

Set a receive timeout for all input operations.

This method is typically invoked from tsp before starting the plugin.

Parameters

[in]

timeout

Receive timeout in milliseconds. No timeout if zero or negative.

Returns

True when the timeout is accepted, false if not supported by the plugin.

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::AbstractHTTPInputPlugin, ts::IPInputPlugin, ts::NullInputPlugin, and ts::RISTInputPlugin.

abortInput()

virtual bool ts::InputPlugin::abortInput ( )

virtualinherited

Abort the input operation currently in progress.

This method is typically invoked from another thread when the input plugin is waiting for input. When this method is invoked, the plugin shall abort the current input and place the input plugin in some "error" or "end of input" state. The only acceptable operation after an abortInput() is a stop().

Returns

True when the operation was properly handled. False in case of fatal error or if not supported by the plugin.

Reimplemented in ts::AbstractHTTPInputPlugin, ts::FileInputPlugin, ts::ForkInputPlugin, ts::IPInputPlugin, ts::NullInputPlugin, ts::PushInputPlugin, and ts::SRTInputPlugin.

type()

virtual PluginType ts::InputPlugin::type ( ) const

overridevirtualinherited

Get the plugin type.

Returns

The plugin type.

Implements ts::Plugin.

stackUsage()

virtual size_t ts::Plugin::stackUsage ( ) const

virtualinherited

Define the maximum stack usage for the thread executing the plugin.

If the method is not implemented by a subclass, the default value is DEFAULT_STACK_USAGE (128 kB).

Returns

The maximum stack usage in bytes for the thread executing the plugin.

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin.

start()

virtual bool ts::Plugin::start ( )

virtualinherited

The main application invokes start() to start the plugin.

Optionally implemented by subclasses.

Returns

True on success, false on error (ie. not started).

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::DektecOutputPlugin, ts::AbstractDatagramInputPlugin, ts::AbstractDescrambler, ts::AbstractHTTPInputPlugin, ts::AbstractTablePlugin, ts::FileInputPlugin, ts::FileOutputPlugin, ts::FilePacketPlugin, ts::ForkInputPlugin, ts::ForkOutputPlugin, ts::ForkPacketPlugin, ts::hls::InputPlugin, ts::hls::OutputPlugin, ts::HTTPInputPlugin, ts::HTTPOutputPlugin, ts::IPInputPlugin, ts::IPOutputPlugin, ts::IPPacketPlugin, ts::NullInputPlugin, ts::PSIPlugin, ts::PushInputPlugin, ts::RISTInputPlugin, ts::RISTOutputPlugin, ts::SRTInputPlugin, ts::SRTOutputPlugin, ts::TablesPlugin, ts::TeletextPlugin, and ts::VatekOutputPlugin.

stop()

virtual bool ts::Plugin::stop ( )

virtualinherited

The main application invokes stop() to terminate the plugin.

Optionally implemented by subclasses.

Returns

True on success, false on error (ie. not started).

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::DektecOutputPlugin, ts::AbstractDescrambler, ts::AbstractHTTPInputPlugin, ts::FileInputPlugin, ts::FileOutputPlugin, ts::FilePacketPlugin, ts::ForkInputPlugin, ts::ForkOutputPlugin, ts::ForkPacketPlugin, ts::hls::InputPlugin, ts::hls::OutputPlugin, ts::HTTPOutputPlugin, ts::IPInputPlugin, ts::IPOutputPlugin, ts::IPPacketPlugin, ts::PSIPlugin, ts::PushInputPlugin, ts::RISTInputPlugin, ts::RISTOutputPlugin, ts::SRTInputPlugin, ts::SRTOutputPlugin, ts::TablesPlugin, ts::TeletextPlugin, and ts::VatekOutputPlugin.

getBitrate()

virtual BitRate ts::Plugin::getBitrate ( )

virtualinherited

Get the plugin bitrate.

The main application may invoke getBitrate() at any time. The semantics depends on the capability.

• Input plugin: Returns the current input bitrate of the device. Useful for real-time devices only.
• Output plugin: Returns the current output bitrate which is used by the device.
• Packet processing plugin: Return the current bitrate at the output of the packet processor. This can be used by packet processors which influence the bitrate by removing packets or introducing delays.

Optionally implemented by subclasses. By default, return that the plugin is not aware of the bitrate.

Returns

Plugin bitrate in bits/second. Shall return 0 on error or unknown bitrate.

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::DektecOutputPlugin, ts::AbstractDatagramInputPlugin, and ts::VatekOutputPlugin.

getBitrateConfidence()

virtual BitRateConfidence ts::Plugin::getBitrateConfidence ( )

virtualinherited

Get the plugin bitrate confidence.

When a subclass overrides getBitrate(), it should also override getBitrateConfidence().

Returns

The level of confidence of the bitrate value as returned by the previous call to getBitrate(). If the previous returned bitrate was zero, this confidence level shall be ignored.

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::DektecOutputPlugin, ts::AbstractDatagramInputPlugin, and ts::VatekOutputPlugin.

isRealTime()

virtual bool ts::Plugin::isRealTime ( )

virtualinherited

Tell if the plugin is a real time one.

Some plugin behave more accurately when the responsiveness of the environment is more accurate. Typically, input and output on tuners, modulators or ASI devices are real-time plugins. On the opposite, working on offline disk files is not.

This method shall be implemented by real-time plugins and shall return true. The default implementation returns false.

A plugin should be defined as real-time by design, not based on the interpretation of command-line parameters. Typically, the method isRealTime() is invoked before starting the plugin and consequently before the plugin has the opportunity to analyze its command-line parameters.

Returns

True if the plugin usually requires real-time responsiveness.

Reimplemented in ts::DektecInputPlugin, ts::DektecOutputPlugin, ts::AbstractDatagramInputPlugin, ts::hls::InputPlugin, ts::hls::OutputPlugin, ts::IPOutputPlugin, ts::IPPacketPlugin, ts::RISTInputPlugin, ts::RISTOutputPlugin, ts::SRTOutputPlugin, and ts::VatekOutputPlugin.

handlePacketTimeout()

virtual bool ts::Plugin::handlePacketTimeout ( )

virtualinherited

Invoked when no packet could be retrieved within the specified timeout.

For input plugins, this method is called when no space in input buffer can be found within the specified timeout.

Returns

True if the application should continue to wait, false to abort. The default implementation aborts (but the default timeout is infinite).

resetContext()

Unlimited number of occurences.

To be used as value for parameter max_occur to indicate that there is no limit to the number of occurences of an option.

Warning: use only for max_occur (size_t ). Do not use for max_value (int64_t ) since size_t is uint64_t on 64-bit platforms.
