The stream's duration in microseconds or 0 if unknown.
Set when playback has finished.
%NULL for a properly working stream or the GError
that the stream is in.
The file being played back or %NULL if not playing a file.
Whether the stream contains audio.
Whether the stream contains video.
The stream being played back or %NULL if not playing a stream.
This is %NULL when playing a file.
Try to restart the media from the beginning once it ended.
Whether the audio stream should be muted.
Whether the stream is currently playing.
Whether the stream has finished initializing and existence of audio and video is known.
Set unless the stream is known to not support seeking.
Set while a seek is in progress.
The current presentation timestamp in microseconds.
Volume of the audio stream.
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

Resets the media file to be empty.
Compute a concrete size for the GdkPaintable.
Applies the sizing algorithm outlined in the
CSS Image spec
to the given paintable. See that link for more details.
It is not necessary to call this function when both specified_width
and specified_height are known, but it is useful to call this
function in GtkWidget:measure implementations to compute the
other dimension when only one dimension is given.
the width paintable could be drawn into or 0.0 if unknown
the height paintable could be drawn into or 0.0 if unknown
the width paintable would be drawn into if no other constraints were given
the height paintable would be drawn into if no other constraints were given
This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.
Sets self into an error state.
This will pause the stream (you can check for an error
via [methodGtk.MediaStream.get_error] in your
GtkMediaStream.pause() implementation), abort pending
seeks and mark the stream as prepared.
if the stream is already in an error state, this call will be ignored and the existing error will be retained.
To unset an error, the stream must be reset via a call to
[methodGtk.MediaStream.unprepared].
Gets an immutable paintable for the current contents displayed by paintable.
This is useful when you want to retain the current state of an animation, for example to take a screenshot of a running animation.
If the paintable is already immutable, it will return itself.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
name of the key for that association
Gets the duration of the stream.
If the duration is not known, 0 will be returned.
Returns whether the streams playback is finished.
If the stream is in an error state, returns the GError
explaining that state.
Any type of error can be reported here depending on the implementation of the media stream.
A media stream in an error cannot be operated on, calls
like [methodGtk.MediaStream.play] or
[methodGtk.MediaStream.seek] will not have any effect.
GtkMediaStream itself does not provide a way to unset
an error, but implementations may provide options. For example,
a [classGtk.MediaFile] will unset errors when a new source is
set, e.g. with [methodGtk.MediaFile.set_file].
Get flags for the paintable.
This is oftentimes useful for optimizations.
See [flagsGdk.PaintableFlags] for the flags and what they mean.
Returns the stream that self is currently playing from.
When self is not playing or not playing from a stream,
%NULL is returned.
Gets the preferred aspect ratio the paintable would like to be displayed at.
The aspect ratio is the width divided by the height, so a value of 0.5
means that the paintable prefers to be displayed twice as high as it
is wide. Consumers of this interface can use this to preserve aspect
ratio when displaying the paintable.
This is a purely informational value and does not in any way limit the
values that may be passed to [methodGdk.Paintable.snapshot].
Usually when a paintable returns nonzero values from
[methodGdk.Paintable.get_intrinsic_width] and
[methodGdk.Paintable.get_intrinsic_height] the aspect ratio
should conform to those values, though that is not required.
If the paintable does not have a preferred aspect ratio,
it returns 0. Negative values are never returned.
Gets the preferred height the paintable would like to be displayed at.
Consumers of this interface can use this to reserve enough space to draw the paintable.
This is a purely informational value and does not in any way limit the
values that may be passed to [methodGdk.Paintable.snapshot].
If the paintable does not have a preferred height, it returns 0.
Negative values are never returned.
Gets the preferred width the paintable would like to be displayed at.
Consumers of this interface can use this to reserve enough space to draw the paintable.
This is a purely informational value and does not in any way limit the
values that may be passed to [methodGdk.Paintable.snapshot].
If the paintable does not have a preferred width, it returns 0.
Negative values are never returned.
Returns whether the stream is set to loop.
See [methodGtk.MediaStream.set_loop] for details.
Returns whether the audio for the stream is muted.
See [methodGtk.MediaStream.set_muted] for details.
Return whether the stream is currently playing.
Gets a property of an object.
The value can be:
In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().
Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.
the name of the property to get
return location for the property value
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Returns the current presentation timestamp in microseconds.
Returns the volume of the audio for the stream.
See [methodGtk.MediaStream.set_volume] for details.
Gets n_properties properties for an object.
Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid.
Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid
properties are passed in.
the names of each property to get
the values of each property to get
Called by implementations of GdkPaintable to invalidate their contents.
Unless the contents are invalidated, implementations must guarantee that
multiple calls of [methodGdk.Paintable.snapshot] produce the same output.
This function will emit the [signalGdk.Paintable::invalidate-contents]
signal.
If a paintable reports the %GDK_PAINTABLE_STATIC_CONTENTS flag,
it must not call this function.
Called by implementations of GdkPaintable to invalidate their size.
As long as the size is not invalidated, paintable must return the same
values for its intrinsic width, height and aspect ratio.
This function will emit the [signalGdk.Paintable::invalidate-size]
signal.
If a paintable reports the %GDK_PAINTABLE_STATIC_SIZE flag,
it must not call this function.
Checks whether object has a [floating][floating-ref] reference.
Returns whether the stream has finished initializing.
At this point the existence of audio and video is known.
Checks if a stream may be seekable.
This is meant to be a hint. Streams may not allow seeking even if this function returns %TRUE. However, if this function returns %FALSE, streams are guaranteed to not be seekable and user interfaces may hide controls that allow seeking.
It is allowed to call [methodGtk.MediaStream.seek] on a non-seekable
stream, though it will not do anything.
Checks if there is currently a seek operation going on.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
the name of a property installed on the class of object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.
Pauses playback of the stream.
If the stream is not playing, do nothing.
Starts playing the stream.
If the stream is in error or already playing, do nothing.
Called by users to attach the media stream to a GdkSurface they manage.
The stream can then access the resources of surface for its
rendering purposes. In particular, media streams might want to
create a GdkGLContext or sync to the GdkFrameClock.
Whoever calls this function is responsible for calling
[methodGtk.MediaStream.unrealize] before either the stream
or surface get destroyed.
Multiple calls to this function may happen from different
users of the video, even with the same surface. Each of these
calls must be followed by its own call to
[methodGtk.MediaStream.unrealize].
It is not required to call this function to make a media stream work.
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
This function should only be called from object system implementations.
Start a seek operation on self to timestamp.
If timestamp is out of range, it will be clamped.
Seek operations may not finish instantly. While a
seek operation is in process, the [propertyGtk.MediaStream:seeking]
property will be set.
When calling gtk_media_stream_seek() during an ongoing seek operation, the new seek will override any pending seek.
timestamp to seek to.
Ends a seek operation started via GtkMediaStream.seek() as a failure.
This will not cause an error on the stream and will assume that playback continues as if no seek had happened.
See [methodGtk.MediaStream.seek_success] for the other way of
ending a seek.
Ends a seek operation started via GtkMediaStream.seek() successfully.
This function will unset the GtkMediaStream:ended property if it was set.
See [methodGtk.MediaStream.seek_failed] for the other way of
ending a seek.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

data to associate with that key
Sets the `GtkMediaFile to play the given file.
This is a utility function that converts the given filename
to a GFile and calls [methodGtk.MediaFile.set_file].
name of file to play
Sets the GtkMediaFile to play the given stream.
If anything is still playing, stop playing it.
Full control about the stream is assumed for the duration of
playback. The stream will not be closed.
the stream to play from
Sets whether the stream should loop.
In this case, it will attempt to restart playback from the beginning instead of stopping at the end.
Not all streams may support looping, in particular non-seekable streams. Those streams will ignore the loop setting and just end.
%TRUE if the stream should loop
Sets whether the audio stream should be muted.
Muting a stream will cause no audio to be played, but it does not modify the volume. This means that muting and then unmuting the stream will restore the volume settings.
If the stream has no audio, calling this function will still work but it will not have an audible effect.
%TRUE if the stream should be muted
Starts or pauses playback of the stream.
whether to start or pause playback
Sets a property on an object.
the name of the property to set
the value
Sets the `GtkMediaFile to play the given resource.
This is a utility function that converts the given resource_path
to a GFile and calls [methodGtk.MediaFile.set_file].
path to resource to play
Sets the volume of the audio stream.
This function call will work even if the stream is muted.
The given volume should range from 0.0 for silence to 1.0
for as loud as possible. Values outside of this range will
be clamped to the nearest value.
If the stream has no audio or is muted, calling this function will still work but it will not have an immediate audible effect. When the stream is unmuted, the new volume setting will take effect.
New volume of the stream from 0.0 to 1.0
Snapshots the given paintable with the given width and height.
The paintable is drawn at the current (0,0) offset of the snapshot.
If width and height are not larger than zero, this function will
do nothing.

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Pauses the media stream and marks it as ended.
This is a hint only, calls to [methodGtk.MediaStream.play]
may still happen.
The media stream must be prepared when this function is called.
Called by GtkMediaStream implementations to advertise the stream
being ready to play and providing details about the stream.
Note that the arguments are hints. If the stream implementation cannot determine the correct values, it is better to err on the side of caution and return %TRUE. User interfaces will use those values to determine what controls to show.
This function may not be called again until the stream has been
reset via [methodGtk.MediaStream.stream_unprepared].
%TRUE if the stream should advertise audio support
%TRUE if the stream should advertise video support
%TRUE if the stream should advertise seekability
The duration of the stream or 0 if unknown
Resets a given media stream implementation.
[methodGtk.MediaStream.stream_prepared] can then be called again.
This function will also reset any error state the stream was in.
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.
Media stream implementations should regularly call this function to update the timestamp reported by the stream.
It is up to implementations to call this at the frequency they deem appropriate.
The media stream must be prepared when this function is called.

Gets an immutable paintable for the current contents displayed by paintable.
This is useful when you want to retain the current state of an animation, for example to take a screenshot of a running animation.
If the paintable is already immutable, it will return itself.
Get flags for the paintable.
This is oftentimes useful for optimizations.
See [flagsGdk.PaintableFlags] for the flags and what they mean.
Gets the preferred aspect ratio the paintable would like to be displayed at.
The aspect ratio is the width divided by the height, so a value of 0.5
means that the paintable prefers to be displayed twice as high as it
is wide. Consumers of this interface can use this to preserve aspect
ratio when displaying the paintable.
This is a purely informational value and does not in any way limit the

Usually when a paintable returns nonzero values from
[methodGdk.Paintable.get_intrinsic_width] and
[methodGdk.Paintable.get_intrinsic_height] the aspect ratio
should conform to those values, though that is not required.
If the paintable does not have a preferred aspect ratio,
it returns 0. Negative values are never returned.
Gets the preferred height the paintable would like to be displayed at.
Consumers of this interface can use this to reserve enough space to draw the paintable.
This is a purely informational value and does not in any way limit the

This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an
interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface
will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or,

any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface
name of a property to look up.
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default
vtable initialization function (the class_init member of
#GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has
been called for any object types implementing this interface.
If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.
