Background:
Whenever a caps event is received by appsink, the caps are stored in the
same internal queue as buffers. Only when enough buffers have been
popped from the queue to reach the caps, `priv->sample` gets its caps
updated to match, so that they are correct for the following buffers.
Note that as far as upstream elements are concerned, the caps of appsink
are updated immediately when the CAPS event is sent. Samples pulled from
appsink retain the old caps until a later buffer -- one that was sent by
upstream elements after the new caps -- is pulled.
The race condition:
When a flush is received, appsink clears the entire internal queue. The
caps of `priv->sample` are not updated as part of this process, and
instead remain as those of the sample that was last pulled by the user.
This leaves open a race condition where:
1. Upstream sends a new caps event, and possibly some buffers for the
new caps.
2. Upstream sends a flush (possibly from a different thread).
3. Upstream sends a new buffer for the new caps. Since as far as
upstream is concerned, appsink caps are the new caps already, no new
CAPS event is sent.
4. The appsink user pulls a sample, having not pulled before enough
samples to reach the buffers sent in step 1.
Bug: the pulled sample has the old caps instead of the new caps.
Fixing the race condition:
To avoid this problem, when a buffer is received after a flush,
`priv->sample`'s caps should be updated with the current caps before the
buffer is added to the internal queue.
Interestingly, before this patch, appsink already had code for this, in
gst_app_sink_render_common():
/* queue holding caps event might have been FLUSHed,
* but caps state still present in pad caps */
if (G_UNLIKELY (!priv->last_caps &&
gst_pad_has_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink)))) {
priv->last_caps = gst_pad_get_current_caps (GST_BASE_SINK_PAD (psink));
gst_sample_set_caps (priv->sample, priv->last_caps);
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (appsink, "activating pad caps %" GST_PTR_FORMAT,
priv->last_caps);
}
This code assumes `priv->last_caps` is reset when a flush is received,
which makes sense, but unfortunately, there was no code in the flush
code path resetting it.
This patch adds such code, therefore fixing the race condition. A unit
test demonstrating the bug and testing its behavior with the fix has
also been added.

On windows, if you are not using built-in commands you need
to pass the full path of your executable into the subprocess.call/
Popen syscall. ex `c:/foo/bar/baz.exe`. This get's long and is
not ergonomic when you want to run trivial task like:
`gst-env.py ninja` or `gst-inspect0.0` or `gst-validate-launcher`
Instead, on windows, always launch a shell to be able to resolve
the executable from the PATH.

This transition is meant to be very similar to crossfade, but
instead of fading out the background video at the same time as the
foreground fades in, the background video stays at 100% opacity
during the whole transition.
This essentially "restores" the old crossfade behaviour that was changed in:
eb48faf342
but using a new type enum, so that both behaviours are available,
letting applications choose.

The timestamp in the tfdt refers to the first trun box and if there are
multiple trun boxes then the distance between the first timestamps will
grow.
At some point this distance reaches a threshold and triggers the
resetting of the first sample's timestamp of this trun box to be reset
to the tfdt.
This threshold is implemented for files where there is a jump in the
timeline between fragments and where this can be detected via a jump
between the end timestamp of the previous fragment and the tfdt of the
next. This behaviour is preserved.

NVIDIA GPUs have undocumented limitation regarding minimum resolution
and it can be queried via a NVDEC API. However, since we don't want to
bring CUDA/NVDEC API into D3D11, use hardcoded values for now
until we find a nice way for capability check.

Various elements are assuming that the pointer matches a pad template
they know about, and also randomly created pad templates might be
missing some important information that is necessary to create a valid
pad.
For example, creating a new pad template for audiomixer's sinkpad
without providing the correct GType would cause audiomixer to create a
GstAggregatorPad. That will then later fail spectacularly because it
assumes that it got a GstAudioAggregatorPad.
Passing a pad template that does not belong to the element class in here
will easily lead to undefined behaviour.

If for some reason the encoder produces frames with a pts higher than
the input one, we were dropping all the video encoder frames and ended
up crashing when trying to access the pts of a NULL pointer returned by
gst_video_encoder_get_oldest_frame().
I hit this scenario by feeding a decreasing timestamp to vp8enc which
seem to confuse the encoder.

Until March 2022, the FFmpeg MXF muxer would write the various index table
segments with the same instance ID, which should only be used if it is a
duplicate/repeated table.
In order to cope with those, we first compare the other index table segment
properties (body/index SID, start position) before comparing the instance
ID. This will ensure that we don't consider them as duplicate, but can still
detect "real" duplicates (which would have the same other properties).

Use newly added gst_h265_parser_identify_and_split_nalu_hevc()
method to handle broken streams where packetized NAL unit
contain start code prefix in it.
It's obviously wrong stream but we know how to work around it
and even need to support such broken streams since
stateless decoder implementations are being a primary
decoder element.

Add gst_h265_parser_identify_and_split_nalu_hevc() method to
handle a case where packetized stream contains start-code prefix.
This new method behaves similar to exisiting gst_h265_parser_identify_nalu_hevc()
but it will scan start-code prefix to split given data into
NAL units.

Instead of using a hard-coded list of preferred formats according the
chroma type, now if now caps are pre-negotiated, from template caps
will choose the first format with the same chroma type. If
pre-negotiated, then it will choose the first format, with same chroma
type, from the first caps structure.
Also all the decoders will check if GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_UNKNOWN is
returned, failing the negotiation.

Hantro H1 and Rockchip VEPU2 drivers will pad the width/height to a
multiple of 16. In order to obtain the right JPEG size, the image needs
to be cropped using the S_SELECTION API. This support is added as best
effort since older drivers may emulate this by looking at the capture
queue width/height.

goes away
* If used, store the corresponding combiner sink pad in the SourcePad helper

GstD3D11ScreenCapture object is pipeline-independent global object
and the object can be shared by multiple src elements,
in order to overcome a limitation of DXGI Desktop Duplication API.
Note that the API allows only single capture session in a process for
a monitor.
Therefore GstD3D11ScreenCapture object must be able to handle a case
where a src element holds different GstD3D11Device object. Which can
happen when GstD3D11Device context is not shared by pipelines.
What's changed:
* Allocates capture texture with D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED for the
texture to be able to copied into other device's texture
* Holds additional shader objects per src element and use it when drawing
mouse

mp4mux can't negotiate caps with upstream/downstream and always outputs

it produces the first buffers.
By having the default aggregator negotiation enabled the same caps

Otherwise setting the srcpad caps based on the sinkpad caps event will
already push a segment event downstream before the upstream segment is
known.
If the upstream segments are just forwarded when the upstream segment
event arrives this would result in two segment events being sent
downstream, of which the first one will usually be simply wrong.

In the case where not all streams have received any data, growing the interleave

hang.
Bump up the interleave growth rate for those use-cases to 500ms per input (still
up to the limit of 5s).
