When switching between video/still modes the pre-night-mode fps
should be reset to prevent it being used in the incorrect mode, causing
the videosource to fail configuring itself
Store width/height/fps for video captures in a separate variable
than the one that stores the currently used value.
This prevents the user preferences to be lost when resetting
the currently used dimensions for night mode, for example
Resets used caps so that camerabin doesn't try to use them
when restarting, where elements/properties might have changed
and the old caps be incompatible
Adds a higher priority to the idle_add function for when
the image bin finished the image capture. This reduces the
delay for the application to be notified about this.
GetOverlappedResult() might never return with some drivers. Time out
after 1000 ms. We cannot really fix this without either:
1) Controlling the streaming thread so we can do CancelIo() from that
thread.
2) Switch to using IO completion ports.
Turns out that the reference implementation does this, hence we need to
mirror this behaviour. This typically happens with hardware that takes
some time to initialize.
Most important part here is special-casing "device busy" so the application
is able to provide better feedback when another application is using the
device.
* Make the driver write directly into each GstBuffer to avoid memcpy().
* Don't memset() the buffer before reusing it.
* Recycle memory by keeping two spare buffers. Two because the sink
downstream may keep a ref to the previous buffer.
Note that we align buffers on highest possible byte boundary (4096) so we
don't have to take into account what kind of alignment the driver requires.
Provides the following elements:
qtkitvideosrc: OS X video source relying on the QTKit API. Comes with
hard-coded caps as the API does not provide any way of querying for
formats supported by the hardware. Hasn't been tested a lot, but seems
to work.
miovideosrc: OS X video source which uses the undocumented/private
CoreMediaIOServices API, which is also the one used by iChat.
Present on latest version of Leopard and all versions of Snow Leopard.
Has been tested extensively with built-in cameras and TANDBERG's
PrecisionHD USB camera.
vtenc, vtdec: Generic codec wrappers which make use of the undocumented/
private VideoToolbox API on OS X and iOS. List of codecs are currently
hard-coded to H.264 for vtenc, and H.264 + JPEG for vtdec. Can easily be
expanded by adding new entries to the lists, but haven't yet had time to
do that. Should probably also implement probing as available codecs depend
on the OS and its version, and there doesn't seem to be any way to
enumerate the available codecs.
vth264decbin, vth264encbin: Wrapper bins to make it easier to use
vtdec_h264/vtenc_h264 in live scenarios.
iphonecamerasrc: iPhone camera source relying on the undocumented/private
Celestial API. Tested on iOS 3.1 running on an iPhone 3GS. Stops working
after a few minutes, presumably because of a resource leak. Needs some
love.
Note that the iOS parts haven't yet been ported to iOS 4.x.
