How to convert timestamp in human readable form.

[Shubham Shrivastava]

timestamp: 178452710056
stream_time: 178452710056
running_time: 178452710056
offset: 18446744073709551615

offset_end: 18446744073709551615

this type of output i got from

      gst_structure_get_clock_time (s,"timestamp",&timestamp);
        g_print("timestamp: %llu \n", timestamp);
         // g_print ("timestamp------------ %s",&timestamp);
        gst_structure_get_clock_time (s,"stream-time",&stream_time);
        g_print("stream_time: %llu \n", stream_time);
        gst_structure_get_clock_time (s,"running-time",&running_time);
        g_print("running_time: %llu \n", running_time);
        gst_structure_get_uint64(s, "offset", &offset);
        g_print("offset: %llu \n", offset);
        gst_structure_get_uint64(s, "offset-end", &offset_end);
        g_print("offset_end: %llu \n", offset_end);

So to convert  it to human readable form when i did it like this

    strptime("178452710056", "%s", &tm);
    strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d %h %H:%M %Y", &tm);

It shows wrong date and time.

Plz suggest.

Two issues here:

1. the returned timestamp is relative to the structure field lifetime,
   it does not refer to the system time.
2. GstClockTime expresses time in nanoseconds, not seconds.

Try using
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Date-and-Time-Functions.html#g-get-real-time
and take care to convert units (g_get_real_time returns microseconds).

Ciao,

Hi,

Give a look to the GST_TIME_FORMAT.

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstInfo.html#GST-TIME-FORMAT:CAPS

This is a simple way to print a GstClockTime to something readable. 

Best

Matteo
