Drop explicit initialization of most fields that are implicitly set to
zero. Drop helper macros for casting to GstVaapiPictureH264 or
GstVaapiFrameStore. Also remove some useless checks for NULL pointers.
Implement GstVaapiDecoder.start_frame() and end_frame() semantics so
that to create new VA context earlier and submit VA pictures to the
HW for decoding as soon as possible. i.e. don't wait for the next
frame to start decoding the previous one.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitH264 object, which holds the standard
NAL unit header (GstH264NalUnit) and additional parsed header info.
Besides, we now parse headers as early as in the _parse() function so
that to avoid un-necessary creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for
NAL units that are not slices.
This is a performance win by ~+1.1% only.
Use standard GstVideoCodecState throughout GstVaapiDecoder and expose
it with a new gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() function. This makes
it possible to drop picture size (width, height) information, framerate
(fps_n, fps_d) information, pixel aspect ratio (par_n, par_d) information,
and interlace mode (is_interlaced field).
This is a new API with backwards compatibility maintained. In particular,
gst_vaapi_decoder_get_caps() is still available.

Align gst_vaapi_decoder_get_surface() semantics with the rest of the
API. That is, return a GstVaapiDecoderStatus and the decoded surface
as a handle to GstVaapiSurfaceProxy in parameter.
This is an API/ABI change.
Introduce new decoding process whereby a GstVideoCodecFrame is created
first. Next, input stream buffers are accumulated into a GstAdapter,
that is then passed to the _parse() function. The GstVaapiDecoder object
accumulates all parsed units and when a complete frame or field is
detected, that GstVideoCodecFrame is passed to the _decode() function.
Ultimately, the caller receives a GstVaapiSurfaceProxy if decoding
process was successful.
The start_frame() hook is called prior to traversing all decode-units
for decoding. The unit argument represents the first slice in the frame.
Some codecs (e.g. H.264) need to wait for the first slice in order to
determine the actual VA context parameters.
Split decoding process into two steps: (i) parse incoming bitstreams
into simple decoder-units until the frame or field is complete; and
(ii) decode the whole frame or field at once.
This is an ABI change.
Introduce a new GstVaapiDecoderFrame that is just a list of decoder units
(GstVaapiDecoderUnit objects) that constitute a frame. This object is just
an extension to GstVideoCodecFrame for VA decoder purposes. It is available
as the user-data member element.
This is a libgstvaapi internal object.
Introduce GstVaapiDecoderUnit which represents a fragment of the source
stream to be decoded. For instance, a decode-unit will be a NAL unit for
H.264 streams, an EBDU for VC-1 streams, and a video packet for MPEG-2
streams.
This is a libgstvaapi internal object.
GstVaapiSurfaceProxy does not use any particular functionality from
GObject. Actually, it only needs a basic object type with reference
counting.
This is an API and ABI change.
Introduce a new reference counted object that is very lightweight and
also provides flags and user-data functionalities. Initialization and
finalization times are reduced by up to a factor 5x vs GstMiniObject
from GStreamer 0.10 stack.
This is a libgstvaapi internal object.
Fix decode_slice() to ensure a VA context exists prior to creating a
new GstVaapiSliceH264, which invokes vaCreateBuffer() with some VA
context ID. i.e. the latter was not initialized, thus causing failures
on Cedar Trail for example.
Use glib >= 2.32 semantics for GMutex and GRecMutex wrt. initialization
and termination. Basically, the new mutex objects can be used as static
mutex objects from the deprecated APIs, e.g. GStaticMutex and GStaticRecMutex.
This fixes symbol clashes between the gst-vaapi built-in codecparsers/
library and the system-provided one, mainly used by videoparses/. Now,
only symbols with the gst_vaapi_* prefix will be exported, if they are
not marked as "hidden" to libgstvaapi.
Fix gst_vaapi_image_map() to return TRUE and the GstVaapiImageRaw
structure correctly filled in if the image was already mapped.
Likewise, make gst_vaapi_image_unmap() return TRUE if the image
was already unmapped.
Fix reference leak of surface and image in GstVaapiVideoBuffer wrapper,
thus resulting on actual memory leak of GstVaapiImage when using them
for downloads/uploads from VA surfaces and more specifically surfaces
when the pipeline is shutdown. i.e. vaTerminate() was never called
because the resources were not unreferenced, and thus not deallocated
in the end.

The picture size signalled by sps->{width,height} is the actual size with
cropping applied, not the original size derived from pic_width_in_mbs_minus1
and pic_height_in_map_units_minus1. VA driver expects that original size,
uncropped.
There is another issue pending: frame cropping information needs to be
taken care of.
Fix commit 18245b4 so that to link and build parserutils.[ch] first.
This is needed since that's the common dependency for actual codec
parsers (gstvc1parser.c for instance).
... this is useful to make sure pixel-aspect-ratio and framerate
information are correctly parsed since we have no means to detect
that at configure time.
Invoke gst_mpeg_video_finalise_mpeg2_sequence_header() to get the
correct PAR values. While doing so, require a newer version of the
bitstream parser library.
Note: it may be necessary to also parse the Sequence_Display_Extension()
header.

This patch updates to relect the 1.0 version of the protocol. The main
changes are the switch to wl_registry for global object notifications
and the way that the event queue and file descriptor is processed.

git am got confused somehow, though the end result doesn't change at
all since we require both SPS and PPS to be parsed prior to decoding
the first slice.
Only start decoding slices when at least one SPS and PPS got activated.
This fixes cases when a source represents a substream of another stream
and no SPS and PPS was inserted before the first slice of the generated
substream.
... for interlaced streams. The short_ref[] and long_ref[] arrays may
contain up to 32 fields but VA ReferenceFrames[] array expects up to
16 reference frames, thus including both fields.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams when adaptive_ref_pic_marking_mode_flag
is equal to 1, i.e. when memory management control operations are used. In
particular, when field_pic_flag is set to 0, the new reference flags shall
be applied to both fields.
Decoded frames are only output when they are complete, i.e. when both
fields are decoded. This also means that the "interlaced" caps is not
propagated to vaapipostproc or vaapisink elements. Another limitation
is that interlaced bitstreams with MMCO are unlikely to work.
Split remove_reference_at() into a function that actually removes the
specified entry from the short-term or long-term reference picture array,
and a function that sets reference flags to the desired value, possibly
zero. The latters marks the picture as "unused for reference".
Fix gst_vaapi_picture_new_field() to preserve the original picture type.
e.g. gst_vaapi_picture_new_field() with a GstVaapiPictureH264 argument
shall generate a GstVaapiPictureH264 object.
Introduce new `structure' field to the H.264 specific picture structure
so that to simplify the reference picture marking process. That local
picture structure is derived from the original picture structure, as
defined by the syntax elements field_pic_flag and bottom_field_flag.
Move DPB flush up if the current picture to decode is an IDR. Besides,
don't bother to check for IDR pictures in dpb_add() function since an
explicit DPB flush was already performed in this case.
... to build the short_ref[] and long_ref[] lists from the DPB, instead
of maintaining them separately. This avoids refs/unrefs while making it
possible to generate the list based on the actual picture structure.
This also ensures that the list of generated ReferenceFrames[] actually
matches what reference frames are available in the DPB. i.e. short_ref[]
and long_ref[] entries are implied from the DPB, so there is no risk of
having "dangling" references.
Use the POC member available in the GstVaapiPicture base class and
get rid of the dependency on the local VAPictureH264 TopFieldOrderCnt
and BottomFieldOrderCnt. Rather, use a simple field_poc[] array
initialized to INT_MAX, so that to simplify picture POC calculation
for non frame pictures.
Further get rid of GstVaapiPictureH264-local VAPictureH264.flags for
reference bits, thus simplifying the reference picture marking process
to only track a single set of reference flags. Also introduce a new
long_term_frame_idx member.
