Using GObject Introspection in Python, I am trying to create a custom PushSrc
element, which requires override create
or fill
virtual methods, without success.
The issue seems to be that both PushSrc
and its base class, BaseSrc
, has these virtual methods.
In other words, this code:
import gi
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')
gi.require_version('GstBase', '1.0')
from gi.repository import GstBase, Gst, GObject
Gst.init(None)
class MyPushSrc(GstBase.PushSrc):
def __init__(self):
self.add_pad_template(Gst.PadTemplate.new("src",
Gst.PadDirection.SRC,
Gst.PadPresence.ALWAYS,
Gst.Caps.new_any()))
GstBase.PushSrc.__init__(self)
def do_fill(self, buf):
return Gst.FlowReturn.OK
GObject.type_register(MyPushSrc)
results in this output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mypushsrc.py", line 8, in <module>
class MyPushSrc(GstBase.PushSrc):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 223, in __init__
cls._setup_vfuncs()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 120, in _setup_vfuncs
ambiguous_base.__info__.get_name()
TypeError: Method do_fill() on class GstBase.PushSrc is ambiguous with methods in base classes GstBase.PushSrc and GstBase.BaseSrc
Unfortunately, the fact that do_fill
in PushSrc
has just one argument agains three in BaseSrc
is not enough to the introspection differ these virtual methods. So, what can I do to override this method?
I think this is a bug in the GStreamer Python bindings which can’t currently be worked around. See the upstream bug report. Solutions might become available there if anybody works on the problem.
