Add the pad mode to the activate function so that we can reuse the same function
for all activation modes. This makes the core logic smaller and allows for some
elements to make their activation code easier. It would allow us to add more
scheduling modes later without having to add more activate functions.
Turns some boolean arguments in the scheduling query to flags, which are easier
to extend and makes the code easier to read.
Make extra methods for configuring and querying the supported scheduling modes.
This should make it easier to add new modes later.
Add a new pad flag NEED_PARENT that ensures that the parent of a pad is
reffed and not NULL when the event, query and internal links functions
are called.
When a pad is added to an element automatically make sure the NEED_PARENT flag
is enabled.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
The fixate caps function was not used externally and we have vmethods in the
base classes where it is needed.
Update some docs.
simplify some fixate functions in the base classes. Also pass the untruncated
caps to the vmethod.
Make a new GstPadProbeInfo structure and pass this in the probe callback. This
allows us to add more things later and also allow the callback to replace or
modify the passed object.
Make a separate cookie to detect chancges in the list of probes and keeping
track of what hooks have been invoked yet.
Remove the requirement to have probes on srcpads in push mode and sinkpads in
pull mode.
Add some more debug.
Keep track of what callbacks got executed. If no callback is called and we are a
blocking pad, let the item pass. This allows you to block pads on selected
items only.
Explicitly have an UPSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM PadProbeType. This allows you to only
block the pad on upstream or downstream items.
Add convenience macros to only block on downstream/upstream items.
Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
Remove gst_pad_get_negotiated_caps(), it does not realy do what it says,
gst_pad_get_current_caps() returns the currently negotiated caps on the pad
correctly.
Always forward all events in the default handler. Previously it used to not
forward caps events by default. It makes more sense to forward the caps events,
if the element is interested in the caps, it will implement an event handler to
retrieve the caps and then it can decide to forward or not. If the element has
no event handler, it probably just doesn't care about caps and it probably is
also not going to modify the data in a way that needs a caps change.
Rename gst_pad_dispatcher() to gst_pad_forward() and make it more useful by
iterating the internal links of a pad and handling resync properly.
Add a method gst_pad_event_forward() that unconditionally forwards an event to
all internally linked pads.
Update some pad code to use the new forward function.
Keep track of installed number of probes to shortcut emission.
Allow NULL callbacks, this is useful for blocking probes.
Improve probe selection based on the mask, an empty mask for the data or the
scheduling flags equals that all probes match.
Add some more debug info.
Don't check the flushing flag in the probe callback handler, this needs to be
done before calling the handler.
Fix blocking probes.
Fix unit tests
Make the PadBlock callback take a GstBlockType parameter to handle the different
kind of stages in the pad block. This provides for more backwards compatibility
in the pad block API.
Separate blocking and unblocking into different methods, only blocking can do a
callback, unblock is always immediately. Also removed synchronous blocking, it
can always be implemented with a callback.
Change the sticky event array so that it contains a pending and an active event.
Events on the sinkpad are copied to the pending array and after the eventfunc
returned TRUE, moved to the active event. This allows us to queue new events
like when we do per-pad offsets without removing the currently active event.
Remove the active argument from the gst_pad_get_sticky_event() method, the
pending events are not something we want to expose.
Add methods to adjust the offset. This will be used to change the segment events
with an offset so that we can tweak the timing of the stream on a per-pad base.
gst_pad_template_get_caps(), gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps()
and gst_pad_get_pad_template() return a new reference of the
caps or template now and the return value needs to be
unreffed after usage.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Remove the context again, adding an extra layer of refcounting and object
creation to manage an array is too complicated and inefficient. Use a simple
array again.
Also implement event updates when calling gst_pad_chain() and
gst_event_send_event() directly.
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.
Copy the sticky events from the srcpad to the sinkpad when linking pads. Set the
STICKY_PENDING flag to make sure that the sticky events are dispatched before
pushing the next buffer to the element.
Add the sticky flag to events and a sticky index.
Keep sticky events in an array on each pad.
Remove GST_EVENT_SRC(), it is causing refcycles with sticky events, was not used
and is not very interesting anyway.
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.
Make the _get_caps functions behave like the _get_caps_reffed variants and
remove the _reffed variants. This means that _get_caps doesn't return a writable
caps anymore and an explicit _make_writable() is needed before modifying the
caps.
The problem with both macros is, that they suggest something that isn't true.
If GST_FLOW_IS_FATAL is true, there could still be a problem for many elements
and they should stop what they're currently doing and return that value
upstream (e.g. not-linked in a parser). If GST_FLOW_IS_SUCCESS is false, it
could still be that this is "ok" for the element (e.g. not-linked for a demuxer
on a few of its pads but not all).
It's better to not have these "convenience" macros but instead let people
*think* about the handling of different flow returns, that makes sense for
their element. And we should document the expected handling of flow returns for
different classes of elements in the plugin writer's guide.
Fixes bug #628014.
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.
A pad is 'negotiable' when its container element is in a state greater
than GST_STATE_READY

This way people can just #define their own custom flow returns to
one of these without having the compiler (esp. gcc-4.5) complain
about comparing integers to an enum or the enum not being listed
