* configure.ac:
Improve mpeg2enc detection. This is for distributions that do
ship mjpegtools, but without mpeg2enc. Also does object check
for might there ever be ABI incompatibility.
* ext/mpeg2enc/gstmpeg2enc.cc:
Add Andrew as second maintainer (he's helping me), and also add
an error if no caps was set. This happens if I pull before capsnego
and that's something I should solve sometime else.
* gst/matroska/matroska-demux.c:
(gst_matroska_demux_parse_blockgroup):
Fix time parsing.
* gst/matroska/matroska-mux.c: (gst_matroska_mux_audio_pad_link),
(gst_matroska_mux_track_header):
Add caps to templates.
* gst/mpegaudioparse/gstmpegaudioparse.c: (mp3_sink_factory):
Add mpegversion=1 to prevent confusion with MPEG/AAC.
* gst/mpegstream/gstmpegdemux.c:
Remove layer since it causes warnings about unfixed caps.
* gst/videotestsrc/gstvideotestsrc.c: (gst_videotestsrc_get):
Fix obvious typo (we error out if caps were set, we should of
course error out if *no* caps were set).
* sys/oss/gstosselement.c: (gst_osselement_convert):
Fix format conversion, we confused bits/bytes.
* sys/oss/gstosselement.h:
Improve documentation for 'bps'.
* sys/v4l/TODO:
Remove stuff about plugins that need removing - this was done
ages ago.
* sys/v4l/gstv4lmjpegsrc.c: (gst_v4lmjpegsrc_init),
(gst_v4lmjpegsrc_src_convert), (gst_v4lmjpegsrc_src_query):
* sys/v4l/gstv4lsrc.c: (gst_v4lsrc_init), (gst_v4lsrc_src_convert),
(gst_v4lsrc_src_query):
* sys/v4l2/gstv4l2src.c: (gst_v4l2src_init),
(gst_v4l2src_src_convert), (gst_v4l2src_src_query):
Add get_query_types(), get_formats() and query() functions.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a first attempt at a wrapper for the lib'ified mpeg2enc of
mjpegtools. Currently, there's a few release candidates for mjpegtools-1.6.2
available, but no stable version yet.
I've made 4 small subclasses to wrap input, output, options and generic
encoding model. The last .cc file is the GStreamer plugin element.
Note that it doesn't actually work yet, I'm doing something wrong with
header parsing and Andrew asked me to commit so he could help debugging
that. Apart from that, we should soon be able to make top-quality MPEG
encodes! :).
mpeg2enc licensing is tricky, btw, I don't even want to start discussing
that...
Original commit message from CVS:
Adding a new plugin: switch.
It takes N input and only has 1 output. You can "switch" the forwarded input through properties ("nb_sources", "active_source") and i will probably add tuner interface support soon.
It should be able to handle any kind of data passing through it.
It is still a work in progress don't consider it usable for production yet.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix v4l detection (it requires X, but X is detected after v4l, so this needed to be swapped). Also add X requirement to v4l2
Original commit message from CVS:
tagging stuff and build fixes. In detail:
- make gdk-pixbuf loader work when distchecking
- fix invalid syntax in ffmpeg Makefile. wildcards for EXTRA_DIST are not allowed. This broke builds where distdir != srcdir
- fix ffmpeg cvs grabbing when srcdir != distdir
- new id3tag plugin for id3 tag reading/writing (uses mad's libid3tag)
- mad and libid3tag require mad/libid3tag v0.15. Fixed configure to require that
- added ogg demuxer in ext/ogg. The demuxer does not handle events yet. Especially getting seeking right will require some effort or code copying from libvorbis.
- added raw vorbis detection to typefinding. oggdemux requires a typefind function to detect its contents.
- tags plugin in gst/tags. Provides API in <gst/tags/gsttagediting.h>. API includes tag matching GStreamer <=> ID3 and GStreamer <=> vorbis and writing/reading vorbiscomments or ID3v1 tags. Also included is a simple vorbiscomment reader/writer. Writing will not really work though until someone writes oggmux.
- various build fixes. Mostly missing (DIST)CLEANFILES.
- vorbisenc handles tag writing.
Now it's YOUR turn to fix and write more plugins that handle writing/reading of tags. :)
Original commit message from CVS:
set default errorlevel to NONE. Make configure change it to ERROR (the current value) when running cvs builds. This should make releases not output any debugging information at all
Original commit message from CVS:
add initial version of gdkpixbuf loader for gtk that is capable of loading AVI and mpeg videos as GdkPixbufAnimation. I'm not sure if such a thing would be useful or too much trouble, so I'll throw it at enough testers to figure it out ;) We might want to disable it by defualt though in the future. (Currently there is not even a configure switch implemented to disable it.)
This includes a fix to not use GError in gstgdkpixbuf's typefind function and to only return GST_TYPE_FIND_MINIMUM when doing typefinding via gdk as this breaks quite a bit with the GStreamer loader installed.
Original commit message from CVS:
first bunch of conversions to new plugin_init. Includes libs/gst, gst/id3, sys/oss, ext/gnomevfs, gst/typefind and ext/mad.
You guessed it, everything Rhythmbox needs ;)
fixed BMP typefind and made gnomevfs one plugin instead of two while doing this
Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- all typefind functions are in gst/typefind now
- more typefind functions then before
- some plugins might fail to compile now because I don't have them installed and they
a) require bytestream or
b) haven't had their typefind fixed.
Please fix those plugins and put the typefind functions into gst/typefind if they don't have dependencies
Original commit message from CVS:
Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins:
* a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio
work is underway here, but unfinished.
* A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to
the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for
GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox.
* Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty
basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now.
Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener'
that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other
windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's
needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements.
Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2
elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated!
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
Add new element: frame dropper. This element inserts/drops frames to go from a certain input framerate to a certain output framerate. It's extremely simple and that's why it's so cute.
