In various use-case you want to dynamically change the framerate (e.g.
live streams where the available network bandwidth changes). Doing this
via capsfilters in the pipeline tends to be very cumbersome and racy,
using this property instead makes it very painless.
The average_period_set variable can be accessed in different threads, so
always lock it when reading. Furthermore when switching to averaging
mode we should make sure we don't have cached buffers that aren't used
in that mode. And any modeswitch will cause the latency to change, so we
should post a NewLatency message
The old v4l interface has been deprecated for years and even
been removed from the kernel headers. If anyone still needs
this plugin, they can resurrect it in gst-plugins-bad, there's
no reason for it to be in -base.
The outgoing buffer timestamp is calculated by scaling an output buffer
count by the src pad frame rate caps. If these caps change, we need to
reset the count and work from a new base timestamp. The new output
buffer timestamp is then the count scaled by the new caps values added
onto the base timestamp.
We currently don't use the GAP flag for video and the docs say
that this is for buffers, that have been created to fill a gap
and contains neutral data. For video this is the previous frame.
This information can be used by encoders to encode the duplicated
frames more efficiently. See bug #627459.
Add a property that makes videorate skip to the first buffer it
receives instead of padding the stream from segment start to the
first real buffer.
Fixes bug #567928.
Handle buffers with -1 timestamps better by keeping track of the en time of the
previous buffer and assuming the -1 timestamp buffer goes right after the
previous one.
when we have two buffers that are equally good, output the oldest buffer once to
minimize latency.
don't try to calculate latency when the input framerate is unknown.
When videorate duplicates a buffer with a DISCONT flag, it copies the discont on
the first pushed buffer but fails to clear it for subsequent buffers. This
causes theoraenc!oggmux and possibly other elements to consider this a discont
stream.
Fix videorate to produce discont as the first buffer and after a flushing seek.
Fixes#580271.

There is no sensible way to handle incoming buffers which don't have a

Original commit message from CVS:

If videorate changes caps, we can no longer use the old buffer
(which may have a different size, incompatible with our caps).
So don't do that; just duplicate the new frame more times.
