Description

A renderer is a point of playback represented with another object of MafwRenderer class. Playback is controlled through renderer objects from an application. Renderers are designed so that any of them can play content from any source, and can be thought of as a GStreamer chain, although this might usually not be the actual case.

MafwRenderer is an abstract base class for renderers. It provides various playback- related operations to control playback: mafw_renderer_play(), mafw_renderer_stop(), mafw_renderer_pause() and mafw_renderer_resume().

If the renderer has an assigned playlist (mafw_renderer_assign_playlist()), it plays continously according to the playing order specified for the playlist. Skipping items is possible with mafw_renderer_next(), mafw_renderer_previous() and mafw_renderer_goto_index(). Skipping within the currently playing item can be achieved with mafw_renderer_set_position() and the current playback position can be queried with mafw_renderer_get_position().

When assigned playlist is modified, confirmation signal(s) from playlist daemon must be waited before proceeding with operations that depend on certain playlist state. E.g. if playlist with single item A is cleared, item B is added to playlist and mafw_renderer_play() is called. It is possible that the play command is handled by renderer before signal about cleared playlist arrives, this again causes renderer to start playing item A and go into stopped state when clear playlist signal arrives. By waiting until clear signal is handled by commanding process, it is guaranteed that renderer starts playing the correct item B.

The status of the renderer can be queried with mafw_renderer_get_status(), which should be used only for initial status update. The rest of the renderer's status information is sent with signals.

MAFW renderer specific error code definitions

MAFW_RENDERER_ERROR_NO_MEDIA Tried to play when there is no media (e.g. no playlist)
MAFW_RENDERER_ERROR_URI_NOT_AVAILABLE Renderer couldn't obtain a URI to a media object.

enum MafwRendererSeekMode

typedef enum {

	SeekRelative,
} MafwRendererSeekMode;

Possible seeking modes, see mafw_renderer_set_position().

SeekAbsolute seek to an absolute position (negative means to seek backwards from the end).

MafwRendererPositionCB ()

void                (*MafwRendererPositionCB)           (MafwRenderer *self,
                                                         gint position,

                                                         const GError *error);

When mafw_renderer_get_position() is called, the renderer will send its position reply through the given callback function that is of this type. This means that the reply might come asynchronously, usually with renderers accessing the network.

self : A renderer, whose current position has been queried
position : The renderer's current playback position in seconds, counting from the beginning of the current media item or -1 if we could not retrieve it
user_data : Optional user data pointer passed to mafw_renderer_get_position()
error : A GError that is set if an error has occurred. If not NULL, none of the other parameters (except self) are valid.
