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:
pseudo code describing a GstThread synchronisation proposal. pretty
similar to what there is now but with some subtle differences.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the capsnegotiation function
audiosink now uses capsnego to set its parameters
mpg123/ac3dec use capsnego instead of metadata
Added the beginnings of a testsuite for capsnego.
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
Antoher way of dealing with EOS. This proposal does not use the recursion
to propagate the EOS signal. This implies that an element cannot deny an
EOS signal anymore but since the signal is generated when a NULL buffer is
pushed, somebody did something wrong anyway.
Original commit message from CVS:
While typing on eos2 about the EOS handling, I got an idea and started
eos3. eos3 takes a different approach by merging the eos detection and
the scheduling in a quite elegant way. I'm not sure we handle the
scheduling like this though...
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive, massive update of most source files. I went through and cleaned
up all the warnings that I could, which involved fixing some of the plugins.
The configure.in script was re-arranged and cleaned up so, and a check for
libtool 1.3.5 was added to autogen.sh. Added checks for Gtk and GNOME.
Some plugins were removed from the list of things to build for various reasons.
Added GST_DEBUG_FORCE_DISABLE in gstgetbits, since that's time critical and
even an if() from a DEBUG can significantly increase runtimes.
Original commit message from CVS:
WARNING: Don't grab this updated unless you're really, REALLY sure.
WARNING: Wait for the next one.
Whole lotta changes here, including a few random bits:
examples/*/Makefile: updated to use `libtool gcc`, not just `gcc`
gst/
gstbuffer.h: updated to new flag style
gst.c, gstdebug.h: added new debugging for function ptrs
gstpipeline.c: set type of parent_class to the class, not the object
gstthread.c: ditto
plugins/
cdparanoia/cdparanoia.c: added an argument type, updated some defaults
cobin/spindentity.c: updated to new do/while loopfunction style
mp3encode/lame/gstlame.c: argument types, whole lotta lame options
tests/: various changes
Now, for the big changes: Once again, the scheduling system has changed.
And once again, it broke a whole bunch of things. The gist of the change
is that there is now a function pointer for gst_pad_push and gst_pad_pull,
instead of a hard-wired function. Well, currently they are functions, but
that's for debugging purposes only, they just call the function pointer
after spewing lots of DEBUG().
This changed the GstPad structure a bit, and the GstPad API as well.
Where elements used to provide chain() and pull() functions, they provide
chain() and get() functions. gst_pad_set_pull[region]_function has been
changed to get_pad_set_get[region]_function. This means all the elements
out there that used to have pull functions need to be updated. The calls
to that function have been changed in the normal elements, but the names
of the functions passed is still _pull[region](), which is an aesthetic
issue more than anything.
As for what doesn't work yet, just about anything dealing with Connections
is hosed, meaning threaded stuff won't work. This will be fixed about 12
hours from now, after I've slept, etc. The simplefake.c test works in
both cothreaded and chained cases, but not much else will work due to the
Connection problem. Needless to say, don't grab this unless you *need*
these features *now*, else wait to update this stuff until tomorrow.
I'm going to sleep now.
Original commit message from CVS:
First pass at an outline for the Filter Writer's Guide. Mostly complete,
though the structure needs some work. Just need someone to write it ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
This is the audio/video sync release.
Changed the mpegvideoparser to parse complete pictures. Added the PTS
timestamps to the pictures.
Added PTS timestamps to the MPEG audio frames.
Made the clock a littlebit better.
Gstplay now uses two more threads one for video, one for audio playback.
Added the first QoS callbacks for the pads.
hopefully fix an mmx compilation problem.
