Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- bytestream is out of the core again
- typefind element is now part of gstelements
Original commit message from CVS:
many changes to startup handling:
- make gst_init_with_popt_table work like gst_init - exit program on failure, return void
- add gst_init_check_with_popt_table to be the same as gst_init_with_popt_table before - work the same as gst_init_check
- revert an old workaround and apply the proper fix
- do not use g_error to exit the application, g_error causes a segfault. Use exit.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Add more --disable options
- fix makefiles to only compile non-disabled features
- some compile fixes.
- removed extratypes, added gsturitype
- make get/set clock on a bin overridable
- some portability fixes for GUINT64
- separate pools from gstregistry.[ch] into gstregistrypool.[ch]
- make gstobject size fixed, even if we disabled load/save
- don't use 'new' as a variable as it is not a valib C++ variable
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added first attempt at general caching mechanism (GstTimeCache renamed
to GstCache)
- Some more clocking checks and updates (waiting on GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE
returns immediatly instead of blocking forever)
- Moved clock get/set functions to element class instead of instance.
- Added cache methods on elements.
- Renamed GST_PROPS_BOOL_TYPE to GST_PROPS_BOOLEAN_TYPE to make it more
consistent with gst_props_get/set_boolean and GST_PROPS_BOOLEAN.
- Give short stats about plugins in gst-inspect.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed unused locking from the cothreads
- use G_*_DECLS in .h files
- remove gstlog.h include from gstobject.h, add to .c files
- removed unused refcounting code from gstobject
- small fixes in #includes
- Added Scheduling policy and priority properties to gstthread so that
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR threads can be constructed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a runtime option to use a dummy threading implementation that uses
NOPs for all synchronisation and threading operations.
Original commit message from CVS:
Totally rewritten registry handling.
- move the registry save/load code into a gstregistry subclass, this
will make it possible to use other registries (flat file, web based,
RDBMS type, etc..)
- a simple GMarkup xml registry is implemented
- use standard statically linked plugins for core elements.
- GstPlugin has a very well defined set of functions now
A little bytestream hack..
Added more info to -inspect.
Some more debugging info for clocking.
Small cleanups
I use ./gst-register --gst-plugin-path=/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/gst-libs:/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/
to register core and gst-plugins now.
Original commit message from CVS:
registry handling changes
read up on it in docs/random/thomasvs/registry if interested
net effect should be transparent; ie. it will keep on working, but will
be more flexible than before. Testing with garnome seems to work now.
Should probably be rewritten completely, together with plugin loading, but
only after we spec it out ;) It's a bit messy.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Remove the propsprivate header file
- Added new API for properties.
- Moved the clock distribution to the scheduler.
- Removed the lock from GstCaps
- Added boxed types for Caps/Props
- Simplified the clock, new systemclock implementation
- Removed deprecated element_info/send_event functions
- First step at exposing more info in the pad_connect functions
- Queue cleanup
- Make the scheduler aware of other schedulers inside it
- Added the _SELF_SCHEDULABLE flag to gstthread
- Removed _get_widget from _utils, changed to new props API
- Make fakesink sync on timestamps when requested
- Removed the offset notify from filesrc
- Added a fast scheduler
- some scheduler cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
updated popt stuff:
- added 'gst_init_with_popt_table' to gst.h
- added a --silent option to launch to suppress g_object_notify events
Original commit message from CVS:
first pass at integrating popt into gstreamer
note: you will need popt 1.6.3 or greater (configure checks for this) -- debian
people will either need to patch popt 1.6.2 or install 1.6.3 by hand.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first stab at a better clocking system.
It still needs more infrastructure for async notification and custom clock
implementors.
This thing can still deadlock the pipeline.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added a function to get the currently executing cothread
- Removed some useless includes
- _interrupt now returns a boolean so the behaviour after the interrupt
can be controlled by the scheduler.
- Added a better way to set/get the default scheduler.
- make thread and pipeline get the default scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the event system to use event,timestamp,data instead of a pointer.
Updated elements to use the event system correctly.
Changed "size" to "filesize" in disksrc.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added mthodes to request an element to create pads: gst_element_request_pad*
This can be used to construct a tee and a muxer/mixer/aggregator element.
Moved the tee element to elements/ because it can now be handled with the
new pad request features.
The padfactory also has some changes: a pad can now be of presence REQUEST,
which means that the pad can be requested from this plugin (doh).
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive build fixup. Will send message to -devel list later with details
on the changes and what they mean for Makefile.am writers. Check
docs/random/omega/build/TODO for a list of things that I had to make sure
of.
NOTE: this requires a complete rebuild of all plugins, since I also
changed the STATE enum to a bitfield instead of sequential numbers.
