In roll-up modes, we open new lines when the last column is reached.
This commit implements lookahead on a word basis, in order to avoid
splitting words unless absolutely necessary (when a word won't fit
on a full row)
Trying to write "" in order to erase characters in the caption
frame simply fails silently, the proper way to implement
delete_to_end_of_row and backspace was to memset the relevant
cells.
This element outputs the same format expected by tttocea608 in
json mode.
It notably differs from cea608tott in that it only uses libcaption's
low-level API, as it needs to maintain its own view of the current
state of the screen, and make fine-grained decisions as to when
to output data and how to timestamp it.
It covers a large portion of the 608 spec, with the exception of
a few features that probably haven't ever seen widespread usage,
those are listed in a TODO list at the top.
It has been tested with a reference file produced by CEA and covers
all the features it demonstrates.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/480>
Up to now, tttocea608 supported text/utf8, and no interface to
control the positioning of closed captions apart from new lines
in the input text.
CEA 608 supports a larger set of features than that, such as
positioning CC precisely in its 32 x 15 grid, styling text,
switching from one mode to another, resetting the base row
in roll-up mode etc ..
A custom, JSON-based format is now supported by the element
(caps application/x-json, format=cea608), allowing users to
control those features in a pretty advanced manner.
A side effect of this is that the approach previously used
by the element to ensure frame-accurate CC display is now
untenable: where we knew before that an input buffer would
at most span 74 buffers and calculate a somewhat reasonable
latency based on that, this is no longer possible. Instead
we pick the approach most CC encoders seem to pick, and
accept a certain latency at display time: for example the
flipping of the back buffer to the display buffer for a
10-character text buffer will occur 7 frames after its
PTS. This has obvious benefits in terms of code complexity
and should generally be acceptable.

be used by another element in a follow-up commit
style preambles look like:
|P|0|0|1|C|0|ROW| |P|1|N|0|STYLE|U|
and column preambles look like:
|P|0|0|1|C|0|ROW| |P|1|N|1|CURSR|U|
Both preambles go through eia608_row_pramble(), the value they
pass as the x parameter is supposed to hold 4 bits, either
0|STYLE
or 1|CURSR
This value then gets bit-shifted by 1 and or'd in the second byte.
The value is also and' with 0x1E to ensure it can't leak into
the upper bits.
The previous code resulted in x being a 5-bit value, 0x10 (0b10000).
This resulted in outputting a style preamble, as 0x10 << 1 & 0x1E
is 0b00000. When the indent was 0 (the usual case), this went
undetected, but with any other value it resulted in no indent being
applied, but the text getting colored or italicized.
This patch fixes x to have the correct value of 0x8 | indent.
cargo-c will produce a pkg-config file making it easier to statically
link plugins.
Also add 'static' features for plugins depending on < 1.14 as this is the
minimal required version to use static linking because of ABI changes in
core.
Various SCC files have invalid drop frame timecodes.
Every full minute the first two timecodes are skipped, except for every
tenth minute, which means that e.g. "00:01:00;00" is not a valid
timecode and the next valid timecode would be "00:01:00;02".
