The "album artist" tag is used when the artist of an entire
album differs from the artist of an individual track; for example,
when a "guest artist" appears on an album, or on compilations.
Fixes bug #590430.
GstTaks does not always unref the taskpool it was created from because it
depends on when the pool provided an ID for joining the task.
Rework some code so that we always unref the pool and optionally join when the
pool provided an id.
Fixes#589127
For now, don't show a g_warning() for empty tag strings and NULL
tags with non-git versions; we should wait for the fixes in our
plugin modules to make it into a release before we enable this
unconditionally.
Add a quick return if two types are the same. Change the check for the
intersection function to be the same as the one used in intersect(). The
later tries both directions.
Don't forbid the empty string "" in generic structures, only in taglists.
Properly allow the NULL string by adding special cases for serialising
and deserialising it. prop1=(string)NULL is the NULL string,
prop1=(string)"NULL" is the actual string with the value "NULL"
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
This makes the generated code faster since:
* It won't have to read an undirect value (which will most likely be
outside of the L1/L2 cache)
* We know that value never changes (the compiler has no clue that it doesn't).
It is not too obvious that getting and releasing request pads is not entierly
symetrical regarding to the pad refcount. Add a note about that to the docs.
This might deserve a FIXME-0.11 too.
Just in case someone who clearly can't be deterred by any number of leading
underscores uses this very private but still somewhat documented symbol
directly in their code (*cough* qtdemux *cough*).
Add new method to iterate a bufferlist without having to allocate an iterator.
Add convenience method for getting an item from the list based on the group and
index.
Remove redundant _do_data callback and method.
Update unit-tests and add some more for the new methods.
Add functions to create a new tag list and set tags in one go, which
is nice for use in combination with functions that take ownership of
the taglist, such as gst_event_new_tag() or gst_element_found_tags().
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full()
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full_valist()
Update design doc with step-start docs.
Add eos field to step done message
when stepping in reverse, update the segment time field.
Flush out the current step when we are flushing.
Small micro-optimisation: look up value table for fundamental types
via an array dedicated to fundamental types instead of going through
a hash table lookup. Since there can be only 255 fundamental types,
the table size/efficiency trade-off should be acceptable, esp. since
the most commonly-used types are all fundamental types. The size of
the table could probably be minimised further if needed by allocating
the table dynamically and only expanding it on demand.
GTypes are not ints and as such are not guaranteed to fit into an int
(with the exception of fundamental types), so we really shouldn't put
them into int variables. Even if a rather unlikely obscure corner case,
this has actually been a problem at some point in the past, see commit
99f16655f4.
Add a bunch of vararg getter convenience functions to complement
the vararg setter functions, and a basic unit test. Fixes#534208.
API: gst_structure_get()
API: gst_structure_id_get()
API: gst_structure_get_valist()
API: gst_structure_id_get_valist()
Don't dump hundreds of kB of hexdata into debug logs when converting
taglists containing huge images into a string. Instead, shorten the
buffer data so that the string is still readable and debug logs
stay managable. Can be turned off with GST_DEBUG_OPTIONS=full-tags.
See #584988.
The first time one calls gst_element_factory_make(), gst recreates the plugin
feature and the element factory. As a side effect we ref the class to fill
in detail we already have filled from the registry cache. This patch changes
the behaviour to just update the existing entries. The factory is now attached
to the type and set in gst_element_base_class_init().
Add a GType->GstValueTable hashtable mapping.
Avoid _get_type() multiple times when we can.
Use GSlice for fraction range dynamic memory
Add G_LIKELY when we can
Improve lookup of the value table using the hashtable
Fix some memory leaks shown by the new serialisation/deserialisation unit
test. Split the gst_string_wrap function in gstvalue.c into components and
use them to make gst_string_take_and_wrap, which takes ownership of the
string, avoiding a strdup.
Add some G_LIKELY/UNLIKELY, and clean up some leaks in error paths.
Reword this message a bit to make it clearer what it means, namely that
the state change may have failed for good reasons, but that the element
just failed to post a proper error on the bus. This is not an internal
GStreamer bug, and we really don't need people to flood bugzilla with
bug reports if one such plugin bug ever makes it into the wild.
Add gst_segment_to_position() that converts a running_time to a position in the
segment. A faulty variant of this function is currently used in inputselector
but we'll need it for frame stepping too.
API: GstSegment::gst_segment_to_position()
Use string_warp/unwrap to escape delimiters, otherwise deserialisation fails.
Also move GST_ASCII_IS_STRING to private header to avoid keeping it in sync.
Also use '\0' when terminating a string for better readability.
Update framestep document, we want to pass the flush flag in the step-done
message.
Add flush flag to the gstmessage.
Update examples to use the new step-done message api.
Implement framestep with playback rates < 0.0 too.
Add new STEP event and methods for creating/parsing the event
Update design docs.
Add new STEP_DONE message and method to create/parse.
API: GstEvent::gst_event_new_step()
API: GstEvent::gst_event_parse_step()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_new_step_done()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_parse_step_done()
Fixes minor memory leak in unit tests caused by the recent changes.
Since we're expected to take ownership of the GValue in the structure
field struct here, we need to unset it if we don't use it.
Make gst_tag_list_get_string() return FALSE for NULL strings and
empty strings, and gst_tag_list_get_pointer() return FALSE for
NULL pointers, like we do with dates and buffers.
Fixes#560345.
Also warn if an element or application tries to add a field with an
empty string to a structure (NULL strings are still needed and
allowed though) and do all those checks in the right function.
Fixes#559643.
Use gst_structure_id_empty_new() in combination with GST_QUARK
rather than gst_structure_id_new() when creating message, event,
query and taglist structures. Mostly just because we can.
