Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Note: This is a fork from https://github.com/dturing/node-gstreamer-superficial that adds a new method getPad that case be used to get pads and change their properties at pipeline play-time. See https://github.com/dturing/node-gstreamer-superficial/pull/56 for details. The plan is to delete this fork and published package when the above PR is merged into upstream and a new version of the package is released.

Superficial GStreamer binding

What?

This is a superficial binding of GStreamer to Node.js. It does not attempt at being a complete binding, and will hopefully one day be replaced by (or implemented with) node-gir.

How?

const gstreamer = require('gstreamer-superficial');
const pipeline = new gstreamer.Pipeline(`videotestsrc ! textoverlay name=text
	! autovideosink`);

pipeline.play();

Then, you can find an element within the pipeline, and set its properties:

const target = pipeline.findChild('text');

target.text = 'Hello';
Object.assign(target.text, {
	text: 'Hello',
	'font-desc': 'Helvetica 32',
})

(see also examples/basic-pipeline.js)

Pipeline also knows .stop(), .pause() and .pollBus(), the elements returned by .findChild() getting and setting all properties the real GObjects do, appsinks also support .pull() (see below).

Seeking and Querying Position and Duration

There is a simple .seek(position, flags) function. Normally you should pass 1 for flags (GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH). See Flags and Seek Docs.

You can query the pipeline's duration and current position with .getDuration() and .getPosition() (both might return -1). All time position values are in Seconds.

(see also examples/seek.js)

Polling the GStreamer Pipeline Bus

You can asynchronously handle bus messages using Pipeline.pollBus(callback):

pipeline.pollBus(msg => {
	console.log(msg);
});

(see also examples/bus.js)

Handling binary data

You can feast off GStreamer's appsink to handle binary data. .pull starts a background work queue and calls your callback whenever a buffer is (or caps are) available:

const appsink = pipeline.findChild('sink');

function onData(buf, caps) {
	if (caps) {
		console.log('CAPS', caps);
	}
	if (buf) {
		console.log('BUFFER size', buf.length);
		appsink.pull(onData);
	}

	// !buf probably means EOS
}

appsink.pull(onData);

(see examples/appsink.js)

A simple Ogg/Theora streaming server

should be working as implemented in examples/streaming/ run server.js (requires express) and point your browser to http://localhost:8001. (Tested only with Chromium). This handles retaining the streamheader to feed first to every newly connected client.

Who?

gstreamer-superficial was originally written by Daniel Turing, and has received contributions from various individuals as seen on github and in package.json.
