The unversioned tool wrappers are confusing and annoying for packagers,
users and developers alike. A gst-launch pipeline that works in 0.10
will likely not work in 0.11 (e.g. because elements or properties get
renamed, or syntax changes). The unversioned tools also yield useless
results when used with gdb or valgrind. Packagers need to co-ordinate
the packaging of all major versions to make sure there are no conflicts
when both try to install the same files. When two major versions are
in use (e.g. 0.10 and 0.11/1.0), it may be unclear (when looking at
things on IRC/pastebin/mailing list etc.) which version is actually
being used when there are unversioned wrappers. For all these reasons,
it seems best to just remove them for now.
Remove SIGUSR* handling from gst-launch, since it might interfere
with other things (e.g. libleaks), and should be done differently
anyway (either via support for simple timed-commands scripting or
remote control via DBus or so).
People should just query the registry themselves or write a small
python script if they need this functionality (which is likely
less work than parsing the XML that this script outputs, and I'm
not aware of anything using the xml2text xsl either).
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
It's often not obvious to people that elements like e.g. uridecodebin
(or demuxers) automatically support the standard signals of the
GstElement class, so let's print the useful pad-related ones for
elements with sometimes pads.
When option "-i" is given, set an index object on the pipeline and compute
statistics for all index writers. Print a sumary when shutting down the
pipeline.
The sync handler is called for all mesages, the event loop we previously used
was not. In the sync handler trigger pipeline dot dumps and call access for a
file in tmp-dir to add markers interceptable by strace and co.
Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.
Fixes#396774.
API: gst_element_class_set_meta_data(), gst_element_factory_get_meta_data_detail()
This reverts commit 1f8eba611a.
This should be fixed now (and if not should be fixed) and the
clock-lost handling is now needed for playbin2 gapless playback.
See bug #579127.
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
