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:
We need to store the new GList. Else, this causes problems if we remove the first entry from the list (unreferenced pointer). Also, we need to destroy the unused entry afterwards (memleak).
Original commit message from CVS:
s/GstBuffer/GstData/ in the API where you can pass events. Fix the plugins to deal with that. Fixes#113488. Also includes scheduler patches, and probably fixes some queue bugs relating to events and buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
Make GST_PROPS_PROPERTIES return NULL when props is NULL. This allows
GST_PROPS_PROPERTIES (gst_caps_get_props (caps)) even if the caps have no props.
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:
cast -> check, since we don't need the result. This also removes a warning when it fails, and since we check for that ourselves, that's a good thing.
Original commit message from CVS:
make the registry read the plugin feature's rank - this should even make the autoplugger work again. Did I mention I'm annoyed because someone didn't test his rank-removing patch? Once opening gst-player or rhythmbox with it would have shown that it doesn't work anymore...
Original commit message from CVS:
When scheduling a group, check that its not the group thats currently in the
top of the runqueue.
Then, when scheduling a different group, disable the first group and search for the next enabled group to run. Stops deadlocking in loop based elements.
Also remove the g_list_length's from the debugging statements for a bit of speed
Original commit message from CVS:
implement translatable error messages using gerror.
Includes bugfixes for:
- crash when unlinking Ghostpads
- make *_PAD_* macros use glib casts
- make spider typefinding merge buffers correctly
Original commit message from CVS:
Add my name to the copywrite (since I wrote most of this file).
Don't fail if get_writer_id is called more than once for the same writer.
Rename debug category according to accepted norms.
