NAME

gpac - GPAC command-line filter session manager

SYNOPSIS

gpac [options]FILTER[LINK]FILTER[...]
gpac is GPAC’s command line tool for setting up and running filter chains.

FILTER: a single filter declaration (e.g., -i file, -o dump, inspect, ...), see gpac -h doc.
[LINK]: a link instruction (e.g., @, @2, @2#StreamType=Visual, ...), see gpac -h doc.
[options]: one or more option strings, each starting with a - character.
- an option using a single - indicates an option of gpac (see gpac -hx) or of libgpac (see gpac -hx core)
- an option using -- indicates a global filter or meta-filter (e.g. FFMPEG) option, e.g. --block_size=1000 or --profile=Baseline (see gpac -h doc)

Filter declaration order may impact the link resolver which will try linking in declaration order. Most of the time for simple graphs, this has no impact. However, for complex graphs with no link declarations, this can lead to different results.
Options do not require any specific order, and may be present anywhere, including between link statements or filter declarations.
Boolean values do not need any value specified. Other types shall be formatted as opt=val, except .I -i, -src, .I -o, -dst and .I -h options.

The session can be interrupted at any time using ctrl+c, which can also be used to toggle global reporting.

The possible options for gpac are:
-mem-track

enable memory tracker

-mem-track-stack

enable memory tracker with stack dumping

-sloop (int)

loop execution of session, creating a session at each loop, mainly used for testing. If no value is given, loops forever

-runfor (int)

run for the given amount of milliseconds

-runforx (int)

run for the given amount of milliseconds and exit with no cleanup

-runfors (int)

run for the given amount of milliseconds and exit with segfault (tests)

-runforl (int)

run for the given amount of milliseconds and wait forever at end (tests)

-r (string)

enable reporting
* r: runtime reporting
* r=FA[,FB]: runtime reporting but only print given filters, e.g. r=mp4mx for ISOBMFF multiplexer only
* r=: only print final report

-seps (string, default: :=#,!@)

set the default character sets used to separate various arguments
- the first char is used to separate argument names
- the second char, if present, is used to separate names and values
- the third char, if present, is used to separate fragments for PID sources
- the fourth char, if present, is used for list separators (sourceIDs, gfreg, ...)
- the fifth char, if present, is used for boolean negation
- the sixth char, if present, is used for LINK directives (see filters help (-h doc))

-i,-src (string)

specify an input file - see filters help (-h doc)

-o,-dst (string)

specify an output file - see filters help (-h doc)

-ib (string)

specify an input file to wrap as GF_FileIO object (testing of GF_FileIO)

-ob (string)

specify an output file to wrap as GF_FileIO object (testing of GF_FileIO)

-h,-help,-ha,-hx,-hh (string)

print help. Use -help or -h for basic options, -ha for advanced options, -hx for expert options and -hh for all.
Note: The @ character can be used in place of the * character. String parameter can be:
* empty: print command line options help
* doc: print the general filter info
* alias: print the gpac alias syntax
* log: print the log system help
* core: print the supported libgpac core options. Use -ha/-hx/-hh for advanced/expert options
* cfg: print the GPAC configuration help
* prompt: print the GPAC prompt help when running in interactive mode (see .I -k )
* modules: print available modules
* filters: print name of all available filters
* filters:*: print name of all available filters, including meta filters
* codecs: print the supported builtin codecs
* props: print the supported builtin PID and packet properties
* props PNAME: print the supported builtin PID and packet properties mentioning PNAME
* colors: print the builtin color names and their values
* layouts: print the builtin CICP audio channel layout names and their values
* links: print possible connections between each supported filters (use -hx to view src->dst cap bundle detail)
* links FNAME: print sources and sinks for filter FNAME (either builtin or JS filter)
* FNAME: print filter FNAME info (multiple FNAME can be given)
- For meta-filters, use FNAME:INST, e.g. ffavin:avfoundation
- Use * to print info on all filters (big output!), *:* to print info on all filters including meta filter instances (really big output!)
- By default only basic filter options and description are shown. Use -ha to show advanced options capabilities, -hx for expert options, -hh for all options and filter capabilities including on filters disabled in this build
* FNAME.OPT: print option OPT in filter FNAME
* OPT: look in filter names and options for OPT and suggest possible matches if none found. Use -hx to look for keyword in all option descriptions

-p (string)

use indicated profile for the global GPAC config. If not found, config file is created. If a file path is indicated, this will load profile from that file. Otherwise, this will create a directory of the specified name and store new config there. Reserved name 0 means a new profile, not stored to disk. Appending :reload to the profile name will force recreating a new configuration file

-alias (string)

assign a new alias or remove an alias. Can be specified several times. See alias usage (-h alias)

-aliasdoc (string)

assign documentation for a given alias (optional). Can be specified several times

-uncache

revert all items in GPAC cache directory to their original name and server path

-js (string)

specify javascript file to use as controller of filter session

The following libgpac core options allow customizing the filter session:

-dbg-edges

log edges status in filter graph before dijkstra resolution (for debug). Edges are logged as edge_source(status, weight, src_cap_idx, dst_cap_idx)

-full-link

throw error if any PID in the filter graph cannot be linked

-no-block (Enum, default: no)

disable blocking mode of filters
* no: enable blocking mode
* fanout: disable blocking on fan-out, unblocking the PID as soon as one of its destinations requires a packet
* all: disable blocking

-no-reg

disable regulation (no sleep) in session

-no-reassign

disable source filter reassignment in PID graph resolution

-sched (Enum, default: free)

set scheduler mode
* free: lock-free queues except for task list (default)
* lock: mutexes for queues when several threads
* freex: lock-free queues including for task lists (experimental)
* flock: mutexes for queues even when no thread (debug mode)
* direct: no threads and direct dispatch of tasks whenever possible (debug mode)

-max-chain (int, default: 6)

set maximum chain length when resolving filter links. Default value covers for [ in -> ] dmx -> reframe -> decode -> encode -> reframe -> mx [ -> out]. Filter chains loaded for adaptation (e.g. pixel format change) are loaded after the link resolution. Setting the value to 0 disables dynamic link resolution. You will have to specify the entire chain manually

-max-sleep (int, default: 50)

set maximum sleep time slot in milliseconds when regulation is enabled

-threads (int)

set N extra thread for the session. -1 means use all available cores

-no-probe

disable data probing on sources and relies on extension (faster load but more error-prone)

-no-argchk

disable tracking of argument usage (all arguments will be considered as used)

-blacklist (string)

blacklist the filters listed in the given string (comma-separated list). If first character is ’-’, this is a whitelist, i.e. only filters listed in the given string will be allowed

-no-graph-cache

disable internal caching of filter graph connections. If disabled, the graph will be recomputed at each link resolution (lower memory usage but slower)

-no-reservoir

disable memory recycling for packets and properties. This uses much less memory but stresses the system memory allocator much more

Using Aliases

The gpac command line can become quite complex when many sources or filters are used. In order to simplify this, an alias system is provided.

To assign an alias, use the syntax gpac -alias="NAME VALUE".
* ’NAME’: shall be a single string, with no space.
* ’VALUE’: the list of argument this alias replaces. If not set, the alias is destroyed

When parsing arguments, the alias will be replace by its value.
Example
gpac -alias="output aout vout"

This allows later audio and video playback using gpac -i src.mp4 output

Aliases can use arguments from the command line. The allowed syntaxes are:
* ’@{a}’: replaced by the value of the argument with index a after the alias
* ’@{a,b}’: replaced by the value of the arguments with index a and b
* ’@{a:b}’: replaced by the value of the arguments between index a and b
* ’@{-a,b}’: replaced by the value of the arguments with index a and b, inserting a list separator (comma by default) between them
* ’@{-a:b}’: replaced by the value of the arguments between index a and b, inserting a list separator (comma by default) between them
* ’@{+a,b}’: clones the parent word in the alias for a and b, replacing this pattern in each clone by the corresponding argument
* ’@{+a:b}’: clones the parent word in the alias for each argument between index a and b, replacing this pattern in each clone by the corresponding argument

The specified index can be:
* forward index: a strictly positive integer, 1 being the first argument after the alias
* backward index: the value ’n’ (or ’N’) to indicate the last argument on the command line. This can be followed by -x to rewind arguments (e.g. @{n-1} is the before last argument)

Before solving aliases, all option arguments are moved at the beginging of the command line. This implies that alias arguments cannot be options.
Arguments not used by any aliases are kept on the command line, other ones are removed

Example
-alias="foo src=@{N} dst=test.mp4"

The command gpac foo f1 f2 expands to gpac src=f2 dst=test.mp4 f1
Example
-alias="list: inspect src=@{+:N}"

The command gpac list f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac inspect src=f1 src=f2 src=f3
Example
-alias="list inspect src=@{+2:N}"

The command gpac list f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac inspect src=f2 src=f3 f1
Example
-alias="plist aout vout flist:srcs=@{-,N}"

The command gpac plist f1 f2 f3 expands to gpac aout vout flist:srcs="f1,f2,f3"

Alias documentation can be set using gpac -aliasdoc="NAME VALUE", with NAME the alias name and VALUE the documentation.
Alias documentation will then appear in gpac help.

Configuration file

GPAC uses a configuration file to modify default options of libgpac and filters. This configuration file is located in $HOME/.gpac/GPAC.cfg.
Applications in GPAC can also specify a different configuration file through the .I -p option to indicate a profile. This allows different configurations for different usages and simplifies command line typing.
Example
gpac -p=foo []

This will load configuration from $HOME/.gpac/foo/GPAC.cfg, creating it if needed.
The reserved name 0 is used to disable configuration file writing.
By default the configuration file only holds a few system specific options and directories. It is possible to serialize the entire set of options to the configuration file, using .I -wc .I -wf. This should be avoided as the resulting configuration file size will be quite large, hence larger memory usage for the applications.
The options specified in the configuration file may be overridden by the values in restrict.cfg file located in GPAC share system directory (e.g. /usr/share/gpac), if present; this allows enforcing system-wide configuration values.
Note: The methods describe in this section apply to any application in GPAC transferring their arguments to libgpac. This is the case for gpac, MP4Box, MP4Client/Osmo4.

Core options

The options from libgpac core can also be assigned though the config file from section core using option name without initial dash as key name.
Example
[core]threads=2

Setting this in the config file is equivalent to using -threads=2.
The options specified at prompt overrides the value of the config file.

Filter options in configuration

It is possible to alter the default value of a filter option by modifying the configuration file. Filter foo options are stored in section [filter@foo], using option name and value as key-value pair. Options specified through the configuration file do not take precedence over options specified at prompt or through alias.
Example
[filter@rtpin]interleave=yes

This will force the rtp input filter to always request RTP over RTSP by default.
To generate a configuration file with all filters options serialized, use .I -wf.

Global filter options

It is possible to specify options global to multiple filters using --OPTNAME=VAL. Global options do not override filter options but take precedence over options loaded from configuration file.
This will set option OPTNAME, when present, to VAL in any loaded filter.
Example
--buffer=100 -i file vout aout

This is equivalent to specifying vout:buffer=100 aout:buffer=100.
Example
--buffer=100 -i file vout aout:buffer=10

This is equivalent to specifying vout:buffer=100 aout:buffer=10.
Warning: This syntax only applies to regular filter options. It cannot be used with builtin shortcuts (gfreg, enc, ...).
Meta-filter options can be set in the same way using the syntax --OPT_NAME=VAL.
Example
--profile=Baseline -i file.cmp -o dump.264

This is equivalent to specifying -o dump.264:profile=Baseline.

For both syntax, it is possible to specify the filter registry name of the option, using --FNAME:OPTNAME=VAL or --FNAME@OPTNAME=VAL.
In this case the option will only be set for filters which are instances of registry FNAME. This is used when several registries use same option names.
Example
--flist@timescale=100 -i plist1 -i plist2 -o live.mpd

This will set the timescale option on the playlists filters but not on the dasher filter.

General

Filters are configurable processing units consuming and producing data packets. These packets are carried between filters through a data channel called PID. A PID is in charge of allocating/tracking data packets, and passing the packets to the destination filter(s). A filter output PID may be connected to zero or more filters. This fan-out is handled internally by GPAC (no such thing as a tee filter in GPAC).
Note: When a PID cannot be connected to any filter, a warning is thrown and all packets dispatched on this PID will be destroyed. The session may however still run, unless .I -full-link is set.

Each output PID carries a set of properties describing the data it delivers (e.g. width, height, codec, ...). Properties can be built-in (see gpac -h props ), or user-defined. Each PID tracks its properties changes and triggers filter reconfiguration during packet processing. This allows the filter chain to be reconfigured at run time, potentially reloading part of the chain (e.g. unload a video decoder when switching from compressed to uncompressed sources).

Each filter exposes a set of argument to configure itself, using property types and values described as strings formatted with separators. This help is given with default separator sets :=#,@ to specify filters, properties and options. Use .I -seps to change them.

Property and filter option format

* boolean: formatted as yes,true,1 or no,false,0
* enumeration (for filter arguments only): must use the syntax given in the argument description, otherwise value 0 (first in enum) is assumed.
* 1-dimension (numbers, floats, ints...): formatted as value[unit], where unit can be k,K (x 1000) or m,M (x 1000000) or g,G (x 1000000000) or sec (x 1000) or min (x 60000). +I means max float/int/uint value, -I min float/int/uint value.
* fraction: formatted as num/den or num-den or num, in which case the denominator is 1 if num is an integer, or 1000000 if num is a floating-point value.
* unsigned 32 bit integer: formatted as number or hexadecimal using the format 0xAABBCCDD.
* N-dimension (vectors): formatted as DIM1xDIM2[xDIM3[xDIM4]] values, without unit multiplier.
* string: formatted as:
* ’value’: copies value to string.
* ’file@FILE’: load string from local FILE (opened in binary mode).
* ’bxml@FILE’: binarize XML from local FILE and set property type to data - see https://wiki.gpac.io/NHML-Format.
* data: formatted as:
* ’size@address’: constant data block, not internally copied; size gives the size of the block, address the data pointer.
* ’0xBYTESTRING’: data block specified in hexadecimal, internally copied.
* ’file@FILE’: load data from local FILE (opened in binary mode).
* ’bxml@FILE’: binarize XML from local FILE - see https://wiki.gpac.io/NHML-Format.
* ’b64@DATA’: load data from base-64 encoded DATA.
* pointer: pointer address as formatted by %p in C.
* string lists: formatted as val1,val2[,...]. Each value can also use file@FILE syntax.
* integer lists: formatted as val1,val2[,...]
Note: The special characters in property formats (0x,/,-,+I,-I,x) cannot be configured.

Filter declaration [FILTER]

Generic declaration
Each filter is declared by its name, with optional filter arguments appended as a list of colon-separated name=value pairs. Additional syntax is provided for:
* boolean: value can be omitted, defaulting to true (e.g. :noedit). Using ! before the name negates the result (e.g. :!moof_first)
* enumerations: name can be omitted, e.g. :disp=pbo is equivalent to :pbo.

When string parameters are used (e.g. URLs), it is recommended to escape the string using the keyword gpac.
Example
filter:ARG=http://foo/bar?yes:gpac:opt=VAL

This will properly extract the URL.
Example
filter:ARG=http://foo/bar?yes:opt=VAL

This will fail to extract it and keep :opt=VAL as part of the URL.
The escape mechanism is not needed for local source, for which file existence is probed during argument parsing. It is also not needed for builtin protocol handlers (avin://, video://, audio://, pipe://)
For tcp:// and udp:// protocols, the escape is not needed if a trailing / is appended after the port number.
Example
-i tcp://127.0.0.1:1234:OPT

This will fail to extract the URL and options.
Example
-i tcp://127.0.0.1:1234/:OPT

This will extract the URL and options.
Note: one trick to avoid the escape sequence is to declare the URLs option at the end, e.g. f1:opt1=foo:url=http://bar, provided you have only one URL parameter to specify on the filter.

It is possible to disable option parsing (for string options) by duplicating the separator.
Example
filter::opt1=UDP://IP:PORT/:someopt=VAL::opt2=VAL2

This will pass UDP://IP:PORT/:someopt=VAL to opt1 without inspecting it, and VAL2 to opt2.

Source and Sink filters
Source and sink filters do not need to be addressed by the filter name, specifying src= or dst= instead is enough. You can also use the syntax -src URL or -i URL for sources and -dst URL or -o URL for destination, this allows prompt completion in shells.
Example
"src=file.mp4" or "-src file.mp4" or "-i file.mp4"

This will find a filter (for example fin) able to load file.mp4. The same result can be achieved by using fin:src=file.mp4.
Example
"dst=dump.yuv" or "-dst dump.yuv" or "-o dump.yuv"

This will dump the video content in dump.yuv. The same result can be achieved by using fout:dst=dump.yuv.

Specific source or sink filters may also be specified using filterName:src=URL or filterName:dst=URL.

The src= and dst= syntaxes can also be used in alias for dynamic argument cloning (see gpac -hx alias).

Forcing specific filters
There is a special option called gfreg which allows specifying preferred filters to use when handling URLs.
Example
src=file.mp4:gfreg=ffdmx,ffdec

This will use ffdmx to read file.mp4 and ffdec to decode it.
This can be used to test a specific filter when alternate filter chains are possible.

Specifying encoders and decoders
By default filters chain will be resolved without any decoding/encoding if the destination accepts the desired format. Otherwise, decoders/encoders will be dynamically loaded to perform the conversion, unless dynamic resolution is disabled. There is a special shortcut filter name for encoders enc allowing to match a filter providing the desired encoding. The parameters for enc are:
* c=NAME: identifies the desired codec. NAME can be the GPAC codec name or the encoder instance for ffmpeg/others
* b=UINT, rate=UINT, bitrate=UINT: indicates the bitrate in bits per second
* g=UINT, gop=UINT: indicates the GOP size in frames
* pfmt=NAME: indicates the target pixel format name (see properties (-h props) ) of the source, if supported by codec
* all_intra=BOOL: indicates all frames should be intra frames, if supported by codec

Other options will be passed to the filter if it accepts generic argument parsing (as is the case for ffmpeg).
The shortcut syntax c=TYPE (e.g. c=aac:opts) is also supported.

Example
gpac -i dump.yuv:size=320x240:fps=25 enc:c=avc:b=150000:g=50:cgop=true:fast=true -o raw.264

This creates a 25 fps AVC at 175kbps with a gop duration of 2 seconds, using closed gop and fast encoding settings for ffmpeg.

The inverse operation (forcing a decode to happen) is possible using the reframer filter.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 reframer:raw=av -o null

This will force decoding media from file.mp4 and trash (send to null) the result (doing a decoder benchmark for example).

Escaping option separators
When a filter uses an option defined as a string using the same separator character as gpac, you can either modify the set of separators, or escape the separator by duplicating it. The options enclosed by duplicated separator are not parsed. This is mostly used for meta filters, such as ffmpeg, to pass options to sub-filters such as libx264 (cf x264opts parameter).
Example
f:a=foo:b=bar

This will set option a to foo and option b to bar on the filter.
Example
f::a=foo:b=bar

This will set option a to foo:b=bar on the filter.
Example
f:a=foo::b=bar:c::d=fun

This will set option a to foo, b to bar:c and the option d to fun on the filter.

Filter linking [LINK]

Each filter exposes one or more sets of capabilities, called capability bundle, which are property type and values that must be matched or excluded by connecting PIDs.
To check the possible sources and destination for a filter FNAME, use gpac -h links FNAME

The filter graph resolver uses this information together with the PID properties to link the different filters.

Link directives, when provided, specify which source a filter can accept connections from.
They do not specify which destination a filter can connect to.

Default filter linking
When no link instructions are given (see below), the default linking strategy used is either implicit mode (default in gpac) or complete mode (if .I -cl is set).
Each PID is checked for possible connection to all defined filters, in their declaration order.
For each filter DST accepting a connection from the PID, directly or with intermediate filters:
- if DST filter has link directives, use them to allow or reject PID connection.
- otherwise, if complete mode is enabled, allow connection.
- otherwise (implicit mode):
- if DST is not a sink and is the first matching filter with no link directive, allow connection.
- otherwise, if DST is not a sink and is not the first matching filter with no link directive, reject connection.
- otherwise (DST is a sink) and no previous connections to a non-sink filter, allow connection.

Example
gpac -i file.mp4 c=avc -o output

With this setup in implicit mode:
- if the file has a video PID, it will connect to enc but not to output. The output PID of enc will connect to output.
- if the file has other PIDs than video, they will connect to output, since this enc filter accepts only video.

Example
gpac -cl -i file.mp4 c=avc -o output

With this setup in complete mode:
- if the file has a video PID, it will connect both to enc and to output, and the output PID of enc will connect to output.
- if the file has other PIDs than video, they will connect to output.

Furthermore in implicit mode, filter connections are restricted to filters defined between the last source and the sink(s).
Example
gpac -i video1 reframer:saps=1 -i video2 ffsws:osize=128x72 -o output

This will connect:
- video1 to reframer then reframer to output but will prevent reframer to ffsws connection.
- video2 to ffsws then ffsws to output but will prevent video2 to reframer connection.

Example
gpac -i video1 -i video2 reframer:saps=1 ffsws:osize=128x72 -o output

This will connect video1 AND video2 to reframer->ffsws->output

The implicit mode allows specifying linear processing chains (no PID fan-out except for final output(s)) without link directives, simplifying command lines for common cases.
Warning: Argument order really matters in implicit mode!

Example
gpac -i file.mp4 c=avc c=aac -o output

If the file has a video PID, it will connect to c=avc but not to output. The output PID of c=avc will connect to output.
If the file has an audio PID, it will connect to c=aac but not to output. The output PID of c=aac will connect to output.
If the file has other PIDs than audio or video, they will connect to output.

Example
gpac -i file.mp4 ffswf=osize:128x72 c=avc resample=osr=48k c=aac -o output

This will force:
- SRC(video)->ffsws->enc(video)->output and prevent SRC(video)->output, SRC(video)->enc(video) and ffsws->output connections which would happen in complete mode.
- SRC(audio)->resample->enc(audio)->output and prevent SRC(audio)->output, SRC(audio)->enc(audio) and resample->output connections which would happen in complete mode.

Quick links
Link between filters may be manually specified. The syntax is an @ character optionally followed by an integer (0 if omitted).
This indicates that the following filter specified at prompt should be linked only to a previous listed filter.
The optional integer is a 0-based index to the previous filter declarations, 0 indicating the previous filter declaration, 1 the one before the previous declaration, ...).
If @@ is used instead of @, the optional integer gives the filter index starting from the first filter (index 0) specified in command line.
Several link directives can be given for a filter.
Example
fA fB @1 fC

This indicates that fC only accepts inputs from fA.
Example
fA fB fC @1 @0 fD

This indicates that fD only accepts inputs from fB and fC.
Example
fA fB fC ... @@1 fZ

This indicates that fZ only accepts inputs from fB.

Complex links
The @ link directive is just a quick shortcut to set the following filter arguments:
* FID=name: assigns an identifier to the filter
* SID=name1[,name2...]: sets a list of filter identifiers, or sourceIDs, restricting the list of possible inputs for a filter.

Example
fA fB @1 fC

This is equivalent to fA:FID=1 fB fC:SID=1.
Example
fA:FID=1 fB fC:SID=1

This indicates that fC only accepts input from fA, but fB might accept inputs from fA.
Example
fA:FID=1 fB:FID=2 fC:SID=1 fD:SID=1,2

This indicates that fD only accepts input from fA and fB and fC only from fA
Note: A filter with sourceID set cannot get input from filters with no IDs.

A sourceID name can be further extended using fragment identifier (# by default):
* name#PIDNAME: accepts only PID(s) with name PIDNAME
* name#TYPE: accepts only PIDs of matching media type. TYPE can be audio, video, scene, text, font, meta
* name#TYPEN: accepts only N (1-based index) PID of matching type from source (e.g. video2 to only accept second video PID)
* name#TAG=VAL: accepts the PID if its parent filter has no tag or a tag matching VAL
* name#P4CC=VAL: accepts only PIDs with builtin property of type P4CC and value VAL.
* name#PName=VAL: same as above, using the builtin name corresponding to the property.
* name#AnyName=VAL: same as above, using the name of a non built-in property.
* name#Name=OtherPropName: compares the value with the value of another property of the PID. The matching will fail if the value to compare to is not present or different from the value to check. The property to compare with shall be a built-in property.
If the property is not defined on the PID, the property is matched. Otherwise, its value is checked against the given value.

The following modifiers for comparisons are allowed (for any fragment format using =):
* name#P4CC=!VAL: accepts only PIDs with property NOT matching VAL.
* name#P4CC-VAL: accepts only PIDs with property strictly less than VAL (only for 1-dimension number properties).
* name#P4CC+VAL: accepts only PIDs with property strictly greater than VAL (only for 1-dimension number properties).

A sourceID name can also use wildcard or be empty to match a property regardless of the source filter.
Example
fA fB:SID=*#ServiceID=2
fA fB:SID=#ServiceID=2

This indicates to match connection between fA and fB only for PIDs with a ServiceID property of 2.
These extensions also work with the LINK @ shortcut.
Example
fA fB @1#video fC

This indicates that fC only accepts inputs from fA, and of type video.
Example
gpac -i img.heif @#ItemID=200 vout

This indicates to connect to vout only PIDs with ItemID property equal to 200.
Example
gpac -i vid.mp4 @#PID=1 vout

This indicates to connect to vout only PIDs with ID property equal to 1.
Example
gpac -i vid.mp4 @#Width=640 vout

This indicates to connect to vout only PIDs with Width property equal to 640.
Example
gpac -i vid.mp4 @#Width-640 vout

This indicates to connect to vout only PIDs with Width property less than 640
Example
gpac -i vid.mp4 @#ID=ItemID#ItemNumber=1 vout

This will connect to vout only PID with an ID property equal to ItemID property (keep items, discard tracks) and an Item number of 1 (first item).

Multiple fragment can be specified to check for multiple PID properties.
Example
gpac -i vid.mp4 @#Width=640#Height+380 vout

This indicates to connect to vout only PIDs with Width property equal to 640 and Height greater than 380.

Warning: If a PID directly connects to one or more explicitly loaded filters, no further dynamic link resolution will be done to connect it to other filters with no sourceID set. Link directives should be carefully setup.
Example
fA @ reframer fB

If fB accepts inputs provided by fA but reframer does not, this will link fA PID to fB filter since fB has no sourceID.
Since the PID is connected, the filter engine will not try to solve a link between fA and reframer.

An exception is made for local files: by default, a local file destination will force a remultiplex of input PIDs from a local file.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o dump.mp4

This will prevent direct connection of PID of type file to dst file.mp4, remultiplexing the file.

The special option nomux is used to allow direct connections (ignored for non-sink filters).
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o dump.mp4:nomux

This will result in a direct file copy.

This only applies to local files destination. For pipes, sockets or other file outputs (HTTP, ROUTE):
- direct copy is enabled by default
- nomux=0 can be used to force remultiplex

Sub-session tagging
Filters may be assigned to a sub-session using :FS=N, with N a positive integer.
Filters belonging to different sub-sessions may only link to each-other:
- if explicitly allowed through sourceID directives (@ or SID)
- or if they have the same sub-session identifier

This is mostly used for implicit mode in gpac: each first source filter specified after a sink filter will trigger a new sub-session.
Example
gpac -i in1.mp4 -i in2.mp4 -o out1.mp4 -o out2.mp4

This will result in both inputs multiplexed in both outputs.
Example
gpac -i in1.mp4 -o out1.mp4 -i in2.mp4 -o out2.mp4

This will result in in1 mixed to out1 and in2 mixed to out2, these last two filters belonging to a different sub-session.

Arguments inheriting

Unless explicitly disabled (see .I -max-chain), the filter engine will resolve implicit or explicit (LINK) connections between filters and will allocate any filter chain required to connect the filters. In doing so, it loads new filters with arguments inherited from both the source and the destination.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4:OPT -o file.aac -o file.264

This will pass the :OPT to all filters loaded between the source and the two destinations.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPT -o file.264

This will pass the :OPT to all filters loaded between the source and the file.aac destination.
Note: the destination arguments inherited are the arguments placed AFTER the dst= option.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 fout:OPTFOO:dst=file.aac:OPTBAR

This will pass the :OPTBAR to all filters loaded between file.mp4 source and file.aac destination, but not OPTFOO.
Arguments inheriting can be stopped by using the keyword gfloc: arguments after the keyword will not be inherited.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPTFOO:gfloc:OPTBAR -o file.264

This will pass :OPTFOO to all filters loaded between file.mp4 source and file.aac destination, but not OPTBAR
Arguments are by default tracked to check if they were used by the filter chain, and a warning is thrown if this is not the case.
It may be useful to specify arguments which may not be consumed depending on the graph resolution; the specific keyword gfopt indicates that arguments after the keyword will not be tracked.
Example
gpac -i file.mp4 -o file.aac:OPTFOO:gfopt:OPTBAR -o file.264

This will warn if OPTFOO is not consumed, but will not track OPTBAR.

A filter may be assigned a name (for inspection purposes, not inherited) using :N=name option. This name is not used in link resolution and may be changed at runtime by the filter instance.

A filter may be assigned a tag (any string) using :TAG=name option. This tag does not need to be unique, and can be used to exclude filter in link resolution. Tags are not inherited, therefore dynamically loaded filters never have a tag.

URL templating

Destination URLs can be dynamically constructed using templates. Pattern $KEYWORD$ is replaced in the template with the resolved value and $KEYWORD%%0Nd$ is replaced in the template with the resolved integer, padded with up to N zeros if needed.
KEYWORD is case sensitive, and may be present multiple times in the string. Supported KEYWORD:
* num: replaced by file number if defined, 0 otherwise
* PID: ID of the source PID
* URL: URL of source file
* File: path on disk for source file; if not found, use URL if set, or PID name otherwise
* Type: name of stream type of PID (video, audio ...)
* p4cc=ABCD: uses PID property with 4CC value ABCD
* pname=VAL: uses PID property with name VAL
* OTHER: locates property 4CC for the given name, or property name if no 4CC matches.

$$ is an escape for $

Templating can be useful when encoding several qualities in one pass.
Example
gpac -i dump.yuv:size=640x360 vcrop:wnd=0x0x320x180 c=avc:b=1M @2 c=avc:b=750k -o dump_$CropOrigin$x$Width$x$Height$.264:clone

This will create a cropped version of the source, encoded in AVC at 1M, and a full version of the content in AVC at 750k. Outputs will be dump_0x0x320x180.264 for the cropped version and dump_0x0x640x360.264 for the non-cropped one.

Cloning filters

When a filter accepts a single connection and has a connected input, it is no longer available for dynamic resolution. There may be cases where this behavior is undesired. Take a HEIF file with N items and do:
Example
gpac -i img.heif -o dump_$ItemID$.jpg

In this case, only one item (likely the first declared in the file) will connect to the destination.
Other items will not be connected since the destination only accepts one input PID.
There is a special option clone allowing filters to be cloned with the same arguments. The cloned filters have the same ID as the original one.
Example
gpac -i img.heif -o dump_$ItemID$.jpg:clone

In this case, the destination will be cloned for each item, and all will be exported to different JPEGs thanks to URL templating.
Example
gpac -i vid.mpd c=avc:FID=1:clone -o transcode.mpd:SID=1

In this case, the encoder will be cloned for each video PIDs in the source, and the destination will only use PIDs coming from the encoders.

When implicit linking is enabled, all filters are by default clonable. This allows duplicating the processing for each PIDs of the same type.
Example
gpac -i dual_audio resample:osr=48k c=aac -o dst

The resampler filter will be cloned for each audio PID, and the encoder will be cloned for each resampler output.
You can explicitly deactivate the cloning instructions:
Example
gpac -i dual_audio resample:osr=48k:clone=0 c=aac -o dst

The first audio will connect to the resample filter, the second to the enc filter and the resample output will connect to a clone of the enc filter.

Templating filter chains

There can be cases where the number of desired outputs depends on the source content, for example dumping a multiplex of N services into N files. When the destination involves multiplexing the input PIDs, the :clone option is not enough since the multiplexer will always accept the input PIDs.
To handle this, it is possible to use a PID property name in the sourceID of a filter with the value * or an empty value. In this case, whenever a new PID with a new value for the property is found, the filter with such sourceID will be dynamically cloned.
Warning: This feature should only be called with a single property set to * (or empty) per source ID, results are undefined otherwise.
Example
gpac -i source.ts -o file_$ServiceID$.mp4:SID=*#ServiceID=*
gpac -i source.ts -o file_$ServiceID$.mp4:SID=#ServiceID=

In this case, each new ServiceID value found when connecting PIDs to the destination will create a new destination file.

Cloning in implicit linking mode applies to output as well:
Example
gpac -i dual_audio -o dst_$PID$.aac

Each audio track will be dumped to aac (potentially reencoding if needed).

Assigning PID properties

It is possible to define properties on output PIDs that will be declared by a filter. This allows tagging parts of the graph with different properties than other parts (for example ServiceID). The syntax is the same as filter option, and uses the fragment separator to identify properties, e.g. #Name=Value.
This sets output PIDs property (4cc, built-in name or any name) to the given value. Value can be omitted for boolean (defaults to true, e.g. :#Alpha).
Non built-in properties are parsed as follows:
- file@FOO will be declared as string with a value set to the content of FOO.
- bxml@FOO will be declared as data with a value set to the binarized content of FOO.
- FOO will be declared as string with a value set to FOO.
- TYPE@FOO will be parsed according to TYPE. If the type is not recognized, the entire value is copied as string. See gpac -h props for defined types.

User-assigned PID properties on filter fA will be inherited by all filters dynamically loaded to solve fA -> fB connection.
If fB also has user-assigned PID properties, these only apply starting from fB in the chain and are not inherited by filters between fA and fB.

Warning: Properties are not filtered and override the properties of the filter’s output PIDs, be careful not to break the session by overriding core properties such as width/height/samplerate/... !
Example
gpac -i v1.mp4:#ServiceID=4 -i v2.mp4:#ServiceID=2 -o dump.ts

This will multiplex the streams in dump.ts, using ServiceID 4 for PIDs from v1.mp4 and ServiceID 2 for PIDs from v2.mp4.

PID properties may be conditionally assigned by checking other PID properties. The syntax uses parenthesis (not configurable) after the property assignment sign:
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV.
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL,(CP2=CV2)VAL2
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV, and to VAL2 for PIDs with property CP2 equal to CV2.
#Prop=(CP=CV)(CP2=CV2)VAL
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV and property CP2 equal to CV2.
#Prop=(CP=CV)VAL,()DEFAULT
This will assign PID property Prop to VAL for PIDs with property CP equal to CV, or to DEFAULT for other PIDs.
The condition syntax is the same as source ID fragment syntax.
Note: When set, the default value (empty condition) always matches the PID, therefore it should be placed last in the list of conditions.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(audio)"Super Audio",(video)"Super Video"

This will assign property MyProp to Super Audio for audio PIDs and to Super Video for video PIDs.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(audio1)"Super Audio"

This will assign property MyProp to Super Audio for first audio PID declared.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:#MyProp=(Width+1280)HD

This will assign property MyProp to HD for PIDs with property Width greater than 1280.

Using option files

It is possible to use a file to define options of a filter, by specifying the target file name as an option without value, i.e. :myopts.txt.
Warning: Only local files are allowed.
An option file is a simple text file containing one or more options or PID properties on one or more lines.
A line beginning with "//" is a comment and is ignored.
Options in an option file may point to other option files, with a maximum redirection level of 5.
An option file declaration (filter:myopts.txt) follows the same inheritance rules as regular options.
Example
gpac -i source.mp4:myopts.txt:foo=bar -o dst

Any filter loaded between source.mp4 and dst will inherit both myopts.txt and foo options and will resolve options and PID properties given in myopts.txt.

Specific filter options

Some specific keywords are replaced when processing filter options.
Warning: These keywords do not apply to PID properties. Multiple keywords cannot be defined for a single option.
Defined keywords:
* $GSHARE: replaced by system path to GPAC shared directory (e.g. /usr/share/gpac)
* $GJS: replaced by the first path from global share directory and paths set through .I -js-dirs that contains the file name following the macro, e.g. $GJS/source.js
* $GLANG: replaced by the global config language option .I -lang
* $GUA: replaced by the global config user agent option .I -user-agent
* $GINC(init_val[,inc]): replaced by init_val and increment init_val by inc (positive or negative number, 1 if not specified) each time a new filter using this string is created.

The $GINC construct can be used to dynamically assign numbers in filter chains:
Example
gpac -i source.ts tssplit @#ServiceID= -o dump_$GINC(10,2).ts

This will dump first service in dump_10.ts, second service in dump_12.ts, etc...

As seen previously, the following options may be set on any filter, but are not visible in individual filter help:
* FID: filter identifier
* SID: filter source(s)
* N: filter name
* FS: sub-session identifier
* TAG: filter tag
* clone: filter cloning flag
* nomux: enable/disable direct file copy
* gfreg: preferred filter registry names for link solving
* gfloc: following options are local to filter declaration (not inherited)
* gfopt: following options are not tracked
* gpac: argument separator for URLs

External filters

GPAC comes with a set of built-in filters in libgpac. It may also load external filters in dynamic libraries, located in default module folder or folders listed in .I -mod-dirs option. The files shall be named gf_* and shall export a single function RegisterFilter returning a filter register - see libgpac documentation for more details.
