Callback from gstreamer to application

[deeps8us]

I have a gstreamer code (say playback.c) with basic functions such as load, play, stop, seek etc.
I have a testapp which will link the playback.c library and call those functions.
I need to post current position from playback.c to my testapp (to update the progress bar). Like a callback function. How is it done in gstreamer. Saw posting to gst bus and all. But my testapp should not be using gstreamer directly. It is like an independent application.

In general, the position is simply being polled using a timer (checked
regularly).

you can also use gst_bus_async_signal_func to convert messages on the bus to signals which you can mask as callbacks within your interface. What you are trying to do is similar if not the same as what gstplayer does. I would suggest you check gstplayer under gst-libs/gst/player in gst-plugins-bad.

Hi,

I also want to develop a testplayer application linking with a playback.c library (GStreamer-based codes) to use functions such as play, stop, etc.
 
My testplayer calls playback_create function to create a new thread which invokes playback_main function. Then, the playback_main sets up pipeline and finally calls g_main_loop_run(). The testplayer will receive user commands in a while loop to manipulate several playback pipelines.

My first question is: is my design (creating a new thread which runs event loop) appropriate for this scenario?

My second question is: how does the testplayer control the pipeline? For example, how to design a playback_stop function to be used by testplayer for stopping a pipeline?

ps. I need to develop playback.c although gstplayer may be useful.

Thanks

You may prefer to read open source player implementation, such as totem media player to start with (simple player).

That may answer many questions on user operations with multimedia playback.
