Add GPLv2 COPYING file, and LGPL COPYING.LIB. Add the boilerplate
text about the plugin code being LGPL versus the linked plugin
being GPL.
Fixes: #590964
When we are dropping frames because of QoS disable the DTS interpolation because
we won't be able to update the timestamps and end up setting the wrong
timestamps. Instead, simply use the timestamps from ffmpeg.
ffmpeg typefinders don't do bounds checking for small chunks of
data, so just skip them if we don't have a lot of data, to avoid
invalid memory access and/or crashes.
This now uses ffmpeg functionality to keep random metadata next to
the buffers and to get the correct offset for a frame, similar to how
timestamps are handled.
Fixes bug #578278.
This cleans up licensing and makes it possible to build with LGPL code
only again.
Apart from that an opencore-amr encoder/decoder exists now but this
is not enabled as we don't want to use external libraries through ffmpeg
and have our own plugins for this already.
PixFmt that are declared in AVCodec.pix_fmts are ones which are 'officially'
declared as being supported. We should therefore not have to create a
AVCodecContext and open an encoder to know if it's supported or not.
Also, doing it this way allows us to better pickup configuration overrides
we have in gstffmpegcodecmap for some codecs (like restrictions on width,
height, framerate like it's the case for dnxhd).
Fixes#575545
Takes codec frame delay into account (roughly the same way it does for timestamps for reordered frames) to produce frames with correct offsets.
A special hack to allow trailing frame with timestamp=segment.stop to be displayed.
Fixes bug #578278.
Cache any events we get from upstream before we're open, especially
tag events we may be getting from apedemux/id3demux or the like, and
push them downstream later when we've added our pads instead of just
dropping them silently. Fixes transcoding tags for Monkey's Audio
Files with preceding APE or ID3v2 tags (#586957). Add minimal unit
test for this.
Also push stream tags later after the global tags and the newsegment
event rather than right after creating the pad.
So we don't build stuff we don't use, with the added benefit that
the GStreamer registry won't complain about not being able to
load these 'plugins' when running GStreamer uninstalled.
After a DISCONT, mark the next frame with DISCONT but don't wait for a new
keyframe. This greatly improves performance on lossy networks or currupted
frames as the decoder can usually continue and conceil errors up to the next
keyframe.
Avoid an infinite loop consuming buffer timestamp info when
the video frames contain only GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE timestamps.
Add some debug logging in the timestamp tracking paths.
Fixes: #585845
The 0.5 ffmpeg branch includes libswscale directly, not as an external,
breaking the dist (and warning in autogen.sh) about not being able to
update its revision.
Add some code to not update the svn external if the
FFMPEG_EXTERNALS_REVISION variable is empty.
Also, in autogen.sh check that the current FFmpeg checkout is from the
right branch according to ffmpegrev, and check it out again if
it's not.
If the same instance of the plugin is asked to be initialised more that once,
instances after the first one do not register the elements properly and the
elements become not usable.
For example, if you call gst_update_registry (), is not possible to create
elements after the call since the plugin is asked to be initialised again and
does not register the elements.
Fixes#584291
