Add a prepare method that is called before sync happens. The purpose of this
method is to prepare the rendering of the giving buffer so that the following
render() call after sync is a quick as possible.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Merge the render_object code with the chain method. It is only called from there
and there are quite a few variables that can be reused to makes things less
confusing.
Add new wait_eos vmethod to wait for the eos timeout before posting the EOS
message on the bus.
Add default event handler. Move the default event actions in there. Call the
event vmethod from the pad event handler. Subclasses are now supposed to chain
up to the parent event handler or unref the event and do their own thing.
Avoid passing unused parameters to functions.
Rename the last-buffer property to last-sample and make it return the new
GstSample type so that we can include caps and timing info in one nice bundle.
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.
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.
Name the allocation vmethod on srcpad decide_allocation because source pads will
have to decide what allocation parameters will be used.
Name the allocation vmethod on sinkpads propose_allocation because they will
need to configure the allocation query with a proposed values for upstream.
Add a vmethod to handle the pad query.
Install a default handler for the pad query.
Add a vmethod to setup the allocation properties.
Use the new query function in filesink
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.
Add a boolean to the flush_stop event to make it possible to implement flushes
that don't reset_time.
Make basesink post async_done with the reset_time property from the flush stop
event.
Fix some unit tests
Move the flag to indicate that a new_base_time should be distributed to the
pipeline, from the async_start to the async_done message. This would allow us to
decide when to reset the pipeline time based on other reasons than the
FLUSH_START event.
The main goal eventually is to make the FLUSH events not reset time at all but
reset the time based on the first buffer or segment that prerolls the pipeline
again.
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.
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.
Add a new enable-last-buffer property. When false, it disables storing the last
received buffer in basesink::last-buffer. This can be useful in cases where
buffers need to be released asap.
API: GstBaseSink::enable-last-buffer
For the reason outlined at the beginning of gst_private.h (inline
functions in glib may need the g_log_domain variable). Also include
gst_private.h before using any G_OS_* defines, esp. in plugin loader.
This allows demuxers to update the segment stop of an already
finished stream. This might be needed if some stream goes to
EOS before the duration of the longest stream is known to properly
set the segment stop of all streams to the same value in the end.
Rounding errors with the floating point rate could make it so that we
don't end up exactly at the required stepping duration.
Use the segment clipping boundaries, which are not subject to rate
adjustements, instead to detect when we reached the stepping duration.
Add some debug info related to going to the PAUSED state.
When clamping the base time, correctly use 'now', instead of
'-now' - the intent is to prevent 'now-base' ever being
negative, which would cause a position report outside the segment.
