Enumerator:
EMOTION_WAKEUP 

pipeline is up and running

EMOTION_SLEEP 

turn off hardware ressource usage like overlay

EMOTION_DEEP_SLEEP 

destroy the pipeline, but keep full resolution pixels output around

EMOTION_HIBERNATE 

destroy the pipeline, and keep half resolution or object resolution if lower


Function Documentation

EAPI Eina_Bool emotion_object_priority_get ( const Evas_Object *  obj)

Get the actual priority of an object.

Parameters:
objThe object which the query is being ran on.
Returns:
EINA_TRUE if the object has a priority access to the hardware.

This actually return the priority status of an object. If it failed to have a priviledged access to the hardware, it will return EINA_FALSE.

emotion_object_priority_get()
EAPI void emotion_object_priority_set ( Evas_Object *  obj,
Eina_Bool  priority 
)

Raise priority of an object so it will have a priviledged access to hardware ressource.

Parameters:
objThe object which the query is being ran on.
priorityEINA_TRUE means give me a priority access to the hardware ressource.

Hardware have a few dedicated hardware pipeline that process the video at no cost for the CPU. Especially on SoC, you mostly have one (on mobile phone SoC) or two (on Set Top Box SoC) when Picture in Picture is needed. And most application just have a few video stream that really deserve high frame rate, hiogh quality output. That's why this call is for.

Please note that if Emotion can't acquire a priviledged hardware ressource, it will fallback to the no-priority path. This work on the first asking first get basis system.

EAPI Emotion_Suspend emotion_object_suspend_get ( Evas_Object *  obj)

Get the current state of the pipeline.

Parameters:
objThe object which the query is being ran on.
Returns:
the current state of the pipeline.
See also:
Emotion_Suspend
emotion_object_suspend_set()
EAPI void emotion_object_suspend_set ( Evas_Object *  obj,
Emotion_Suspend  state 
)

Change the state of an object pipeline.

Parameters:
objThe object which the query is being ran on.
stateThe new state for the object.

Changing the state of a pipeline should help preserve the battery of an embedded device. But it will only work sanely if the pipeline is not playing at the time you change its state. Depending on the engine all state may be not implemented.
