Detailed Description

PipeWire filter object class.

The filter object provides a convenient way to implement processing filters.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ pw_filter_flags

Extra flags that can be used in pw_filter_connect()

Enumerator
PW_FILTER_FLAG_NONE 

no flags

PW_FILTER_FLAG_INACTIVE 

start the filter inactive, pw_filter_set_active() needs to be called explicitly

PW_FILTER_FLAG_DRIVER 

be a driver

PW_FILTER_FLAG_RT_PROCESS 

call process from the realtime thread

PW_FILTER_FLAG_CUSTOM_LATENCY 

don't call the default latency algorithm but emit the param_changed event for the ports when Latency params are received.

◆ pw_filter_port_flags

Enumerator
PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_NONE 

no flags

PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_MAP_BUFFERS 

mmap the buffers except DmaBuf

PW_FILTER_PORT_FLAG_ALLOC_BUFFERS 

the application will allocate buffer memory.

In the add_buffer event, the data of the buffer should be set

◆ pw_filter_state

The state of a filter

Enumerator
PW_FILTER_STATE_ERROR 

the stream is in error

PW_FILTER_STATE_UNCONNECTED 

unconnected

PW_FILTER_STATE_CONNECTING 

connection is in progress

PW_FILTER_STATE_PAUSED 

filter is connected and paused

PW_FILTER_STATE_STREAMING 

filter is streaming

enum pw_filter_port_flags  flags,
size_t  port_data_size,
struct pw_properties props,
const struct spa_pod **  params,
uint32_t  n_params 
)

add a port to the filter, returns user data of port_data_size.

Parameters
filtera PipeWire Filter
directionport direction
flagsport flags
port_data_sizeallocated and given to the user as port_data
propsport properties, ownership is taken
paramsan array of params. The params should ideally contain the supported formats
n_paramsnumber of elements in params

◆ pw_filter_connect()

int pw_filter_connect ( struct pw_filter *  filter,
enum pw_filter_flags  flags,
const struct spa_pod **  params,
uint32_t  n_params 
)

Connect a filter for processing.

Returns
0 on success < 0 on error.

You should connect to the process event and use pw_filter_dequeue_buffer() to get the latest metadata and data.

Parameters
filtera PipeWire Filter
flagsfilter flags
paramsan array with params.
n_paramsnumber of items in params
