By adding this field, buffer producers can now explicitly set the exact
geometry of planes, allowing users to easily know the padded size and
height of each plane.
GstVideoMeta is always heap allocated by GStreamer itself so we can
safely extend it.
This is inconsistent with other add_meta methods such as
gst_buffer_add_video_meta , which will return NULL without
logging when gst_video_info_set_format fails.
It is up to the caller to check the return value of the
function, and log if appropriate.
The current GstVideoRegionOfInterestMeta API allows elements to detect
and name ROI but doesn't tell anything about how this information is
meant to be consumed by downstream elements.
Typically, encoders may want to tweak their encoding settings for a
given ROI to increase or decrease their quality.
Each encoder has its own set of settings so that's not something that
can be standardized.
This patch adds encoder-specific parameters to the meta which can be
used to configure the encoding of a specific ROI.
A typical use case would be: source ! roi-detector ! encoder
with a buffer probe on the encoder sink pad set by the application.
Thanks to the probe the application will be able to tell to the encoder
how this specific region should be encoded.
Users could also develop their specific roi detectors meant to be used with a
specific encoder and directly putting the encoder parameters when
detecting the ROI.

Add logging categories for most video objects.
Remove some useless debug lines in video-info and videotestsrc.
Add a performance debug line in the video scaler.
Instead of returning the first video meta found on a buffer, return the
one with the lowest id (which is usually the same thing, except on
multi-view buffers)
This allows elements to specify a function to upload
a buffer content to a specific OpenGL texture ID. It
could be used by the vaapi elements to provide a way
for eglglessink or WebKit to upload a VA surface to
an GL texture without the respective sinks knowing
anything about VA.
Rename the frame_flags to flags. Because they are flags on the frame object it
does not need the redundant frame_ prefix.
Change the order of the metadata constructor so that the flags come before the
format and dimension arguments.
There's a new GstVideoFrameFlags enum now that contains the frame
specific flags only. GstVideoFlags does not contain the TFF/TFF/ONEFIELD
flags anymore because these are strictly frame specific.
Also add fallback to parse these fields from the GstBufferFlags in
gst_video_frame_map() if there's no GstVideoMeta attached to the buffer.
