Description
The downloadbuffer element provides on-disk buffering and caching of, typically, a network file. temp-template should be set to a value such as /tmp/gstreamer-XXXXXX and the element will allocate a random free filename and buffer the data in the file.
With max-size-bytes and max-size-time you can configure the buffering limits. The downloadbuffer element will try to read-ahead these amounts of data. When the amount of read-ahead data drops below low-percent of the configured max, the element will start emitting BUFFERING messages until high-percent of max is reached again.
The downloadbuffer provides push and pull based scheduling on its source pad and will efficiently seek in the upstream element when needed.
The temp-location property will be used to notify the application of the allocated filename.
When the downloadbuffer has completely downloaded the media, it will
post an application message named "GstCacheDownloadComplete"
with the following information:
* G_TYPE_STRING
"location":
the location of the completely downloaded file.
