Make it possible to query the supported options of a bufferpool and enable
options. This is a bit more generic than the API to enable metadata. The purpose
is to make it possible to add new custom config options to the configuration of
the bufferpool when supported.
The idea was originally that if one passed &dest_fmt with
dest_fmt=GST_FORMAT_DEFAULT, then the code answering the query
could change dest_fmt to the actual default format used. However,
in more than half a decade of GStreamer 0.10 no piece of code in
GStreamer has ever used that feature, nor are there that many
users of this API that actually check whether the format returned
is the original format passed before using the values returned.
Also, it's just annoying-to-use API in its own right.
For all these reasons, make it so that the destination format is
passed directly and can't be changed by the element queried.
Refactor calling the GETCAPS function and checks.
Move the filter code in one place.
When using fixed pad caps, get the currently configured caps and then fallback
to the GETCAPS function. We used to simply ignore the GETCAPS function, which
resulted in transform elements returning the template caps instead of doing the
caps transform.
Avoid playing with the refcount to decide when a buffer has been recycled by the
dispose function. The problem is that we then temporarily can have a buffer with
a refcount > 1 being acquired from the pool, which is not writable. Instead use
a simple boolean return value from the dispose function to inform the called
that the object was recycled or not.
After we allocated a new buffer, call the release_buffer vmethod to put the new
buffer in the pool instead of assuming that the pool uses the default
release_method implementation.
Don't remove memory blocks from the buffer when we clip and resize, instead set
the memory offset and size to 0. This allows us to make the buffer larger again
later.
Add more debug.
Alow resize to 0 bytes.
Do clipping correctly.
Add more unit tests. Also add a failing test: when we resize to 0 and then
try to resize back to the original size it fails because the memory was
removed.
Allow for negative offsets when doing memory copy and share.
Add fast path in the _get_sizes() function.
Fix resize for negative offset and expanding the buffer.
Add some unit tests.
Also return the offset in a GstMemory block with the get_sizes() method. This
allows us to figure out how much prefix there is unused.
Change the resize function so that a negative offset can be given. This would
make it possible to resize the buffer so that the prefix becomes available.
Add gst_buffer_get_sizes() to return the offset and maxsize as well as the size.
Also change the buffer resize method so that we can specify a negative offset
to remove prefix bytes.
It was a bit too clever, and didn't really work as an API,
confusing people to no end. Better implement specific methods
whether an interface is usable/available/ready on the interface
itself, or even add GError arguments, rather than try to have
per-instance interfaces.
Don't mix messages and pads and tags.
Make the sink post tag messages when a tag event is received.
Since tags are sticky on pads now, they can be retrieved from there
when needed.
Make the Array of structures private. This should allow us to implement
the array more efficiently or with some preallocated structures when
we want to later.
Add a new method to clean up a static structure so that we can remove some code
that pokes into the private bits of the caps.
Add a function to retrieve an array of supported metadata apis from the the
bufferpool.
Add functions to configure and query the configured metadata apis in a
bufferpool configuration.
