Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
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.
1) We need to lock and get a strong ref to the parent, if still there.
2) If it has gone away, we need to handle that gracefully.
This is necessary in order to safely modify a running pipeline. Has been
observed when a streaming thread is doing a buffer_alloc() while an
application thread sends an event on a pad further downstream, and from
within a pad probe (holding STREAM_LOCK) carries out the pipeline plumbing
while the streaming thread has its buffer_alloc() in progress.
Improve the calculation of the duration. When we have no input duration set on
the input buffers stop is set to start and then we end up using a 0 duration in
the average calculation.
Keep track of the earliest allowed timestamp according to the latest
QoS report and drop buffers before that time. Activate this filter
when throttling is enabled. We could later also activate this in the
other QoS cases.
See #638891
Only update the last_stop value when we had a valid stop position for the
clipping or else the clipping code assumes the stop position extends to the end
of the segment, which makes the position reporting return weird values.
Unify the different position reporting code paths to make it more
understandable.
Use start_time to get more accurate position reporting in paused.
Fix unit tests for more accurate reporting.
Use atomic ops to read and write more properties. Taking the preroll lock in get_property
can lock up applications reading the property during preroll.
