Add function that (unlike the GLib equivalent) also accepts paths that
aren't absolute and will clean up relative markers such as ./ and ../
before forming a URI.
Fixes warnings with e.g. filesrc location=foo ! typefind caused by the
recent switch to g_filename_to_uri(), but also actually creates valid
URIs for the first time.
Windows code paths could need some more work, e.g. we don't clean up
the relative markers there for now (because path could have \ and /
as separators).
API: gst_filename_to_uri()
Remove class-to-interface-struct cast macros which don't work,
don't make sense, and in some cases wouldn't even compile if
used. Removal should be ok seeing that code which uses any of
these is broken and bound to crash. Fixes#565607.
API: remove GST_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE_CLASS
API: remove GST_IS_IMPLEMENTS_INTERFACE_CLASS
API: remove GST_URI_HANDLER_CLASS
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstelementfactory.c: (gst_element_register):
* gst/gsturi.h:
Patch from Alessandro Decina adding get_type_full and
get_protocols_full private vfuncs to the URIHandler interface
to allow bindings to support creating URI handlers.
Partially fixes: #339279
API: GstURIHandlerInterface::get_type_full
API: GstURIHandlerInterface::get_protocols_full
Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/gst/gstreamer-sections.txt:
* gst/gsturi.c: (get_element_factories_from_uri_protocol),
(gst_uri_protocol_is_supported), (gst_element_make_from_uri):
* gst/gsturi.h:
API: Add gst_uri_protocol_is_supported(), which checks if an sink
or src that supports a given URI protocol exists.
Original commit message from CVS:
implement URI schemes
Elements can now register as a source or sink for a protocol and applications can use gst_element_make_from_uri () to get an element that handles a given URI.
This patch provides:
- removal of old broken URI handling scheme.
- new URI handling using interfaces.
- updates for registry to save handled URIs.
- interface for URI handlers.
- implementation of that in filesrc and filesink for the file:// URI
- extension to pipeline parsing to allow specifying only a URI instead of element
Does not include:
- tests
- inclusion in docs build
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added infrastructure to run a filter against plugins, registries and
registrypools. This makes it possible to create custom code to filter
out the plugins/features you're interested in.
