Original commit message from CVS:
2005-07-01 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* tests/network-clock.scm: Commentary update.
* gst/elements/gstidentity.c (PROP_DUPLICATE): Gone daddy gone.
Didn't really make sense, not implementable with basetransform,
etc.
(gst_identity_transform): Unref inbuf via make_writable. Feeble
attempt at implementing the sync property, needs an unlock method.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c (gst_base_transform_transform_caps):
New func, by default returns the same caps (the identity
transformation).
(gst_base_transform_getcaps): Uses transform_caps to return
something sensible.
(gst_base_transform_setcaps): Complicated logic to get caps on
both pads, even if they are different, and to call set_caps once
for every time both pads get their caps set.
(gst_base_transform_handle_buffer): Give the ref to the transform
function. Allows in-place modification of the buffer.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.h (transform_caps): New class method.
Given caps on one side, what can I do on the other.
(set_caps): Take two caps, one for each side of the element.
* gst/gstpad.h:
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_fixate_caps): Change prototype to modify
caps in place. This is safe because we can check the mutability of
the caps, and a good idea because fixate functions are just called
as a matter of last resort. (Not actually implemented.)
(gst_pad_set_caps): If the caps we're setting is actually the same
as the existing pad caps, just update the pointer without calling
setcaps. Assert that caps is either NULL or fixed, as per the
docs.
* gst/gstghostpad.c: Update for fixate changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-06-27 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c (gst_type_find_helper): Unref any
remaining buffer.
* gst/gsttrace.c (gst_alloc_trace_list_sorted): New helper,
returns a sorted copy of the trace list.
(gst_alloc_trace_print_live): New API, only prints traces with
live objects. Sort the list.
(gst_alloc_trace_print_all): Sort the list.
(gst_alloc_trace_print): Align columns.
* gst/elements/gstttypefindelement.c:
* gst/elements/gsttee.c:
* gst/base/gstbasesrc.c:
* gst/base/gstbasesink.c:
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c:
* gst/gstqueue.c: Adapt for pad activation changes.
* gst/gstpipeline.c (gst_pipeline_init): Unref after parenting
sched.
(gst_pipeline_dispose): Drop ref on sched.
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_init): Set the default activate func.
(gst_pad_activate_default): Push mode by default.
(pre_activate_switch, post_activate_switch): New stubs, things to
do before and after switching activation modes on pads.
(gst_pad_set_active): Take a boolean and not a mode, dispatch to
the pad's activate function to choose which mode to activate.
Shortcut on deactivation and call the right function directly.
(gst_pad_activate_pull): New API, (de)activates a pad in pull
mode.
(gst_pad_activate_push): New API, same for push mode.
(gst_pad_set_activate_function)
(gst_pad_set_activatepull_function)
(gst_pad_set_activatepush_function): Setters for new API.
* gst/gstminiobject.c (gst_mini_object_new, gst_mini_object_free):
Trace all miniobjects.
(gst_mini_object_make_writable): Unref the arg if we copy, like
gst_caps_make_writable.
* gst/gstmessage.c (_gst_message_initialize): No trace init.
* gst/gstghostpad.c (gst_proxy_pad_do_activate)
(gst_proxy_pad_do_activatepull, gst_proxy_pad_do_activatepush):
Adapt for new pad API.
* gst/gstevent.c (_gst_event_initialize): Don't initialize trace.
* gst/gstelement.h:
* gst/gstelement.c (gst_element_iterate_src_pads)
(gst_element_iterate_sink_pads): New API functions.
* gst/gstelement.c (iterator_fold_with_resync): New utility,
should fold into gstiterator.c in some form.
(gst_element_pads_activate): Simplified via use of fold and
delegation of decisions to gstpad->activate.
* gst/gstbus.c (gst_bus_source_finalize): Set the bus to NULL,
help in debugging.
* gst/gstbuffer.c (_gst_buffer_initialize): Ref the buffer type
class once in init, like gstmessage. Didn't run into this issue
but it seems correct. Don't initialize a trace, gstminiobject does
that.
* check/pipelines/simple_launch_lines.c (test_stop_from_app): New
test, runs fakesrc ! fakesink, stopping on ::handoff via a message
to the bus.
(assert_live_count): New util function, uses alloc traces to check
cleanup.
* check/gst/gstghostpad.c (test_ghost_pads): More refcount checks.
To be modified when unlink drops the internal pad.
Original commit message from CVS:
* check/gstcheck.h:
add macros for checking refcounts on objects and caps
* check/gst/gstpad.c: (START_TEST), (gst_pad_suite):
add some more unit tests
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_link_check_compatible_unlocked),
(gst_pad_link_prepare), (gst_pad_link), (gst_pad_get_allowed_caps):
fix leaked refcounts (I hope :)) so unittest works
* gst/gstpad.h:
whitespace removal
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-06-08 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gstutils.c: RPAD fixes all around.
(gst_element_link_pads): Refcounting fixes.
* tools/gst-inspect.c:
* tools/gst-xmlinspect.c:
* parse/grammar.y:
* gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c:
* gst/base/gstbasesink.c:
* gst/gstqueue.c: RPAD fixes.
* gst/gstghostpad.h:
* gst/gstghostpad.c: New ghost pad implementation as full proxy
pads. The tricky thing is they provide both source and sink
interfaces, since they proxy the internal pad for the external
pad, and vice versa. Implement with lower-level ProxyPad objects,
with the interior proxy pad as a child of the exterior ghost pad.
Should write a doc on this.
* gst/gstpad.h: s/RPAD/PAD/, s/RealPad/Pad/.
(gst_pad_set_name, gst_pad_set_parent): Macros removed, use
gst_object API.
* gst/gstpad.c: Big changes. No more stub base GstPad, now all
pads are real pads. No ghost pads in this file. Not documenting
the myriad s/RPAD/PAD/ and REALIZE fixes.
(gst_pad_class_init): Add properties for "direction" and
"template". Both are construct-only, so they can't change during
the life of the pad. Fixes properly deriving from GstPad.
(gst_pad_custom_new, gst_pad_custom_new_from_template): Gone. For
derived objects, just set properties when creating the objects via
g_object_new.
(gst_pad_get_parent): Implement as a function, return NULL if the
parent is not an element.
(gst_pad_get_real_parent, gst_pad_add_ghost_pad)
(gst_pad_remove_ghost_pad, gst_pad_realize): Removed.
* gst/gstobject.c (gst_object_class_init): Make name a construct
property. Don't set it in the object init.
* gst/gstelement.c (gst_element_add_pad): Don't allow adding pads
with UNKNOWN direction.
(gst_element_add_ghost_pad): Remove non-orthogonal API. Replace
with gst_element_add_pad (e, gst_ghost_pad_new (name, pad)).
(gst_element_remove_pad): Remove ghost-pad special cases.
(gst_element_pads_activate): Remove rpad cruft.
* gst/gstbin.c (gst_bin_change_state): Use gst_pad_get_parent to
catch the pad's-parent-not-an-element case.
* gst/gst.h: Include gstghostpad.h.
* gst/gst.c (init_post): No more real, ghost pads.
* gst/Makefile.am: Add gstghostpad.[ch].
* check/Makefile.am:
* check/gst/gstbin.c:
* check/gst/gstghostpad.c (test_ghost_pads): Check that linking
into a bin creates ghost pads, and that the refcounts are right.
Partly moved from gstbin.c.
Original commit message from CVS:
Remove old query functions. Ported old code.
Added position/convert helper functions to gstutils.
Reordered gstpad.c code, grouping relevant things.
Remove gst_message_new(), always need to speficy a specific
message.
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-05-09 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gstiterator.h: Add some includes.
* gst/gstqueryutils.h: Include more headers.
* gst/gstpad.h:
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_query_position): New routine, replaces
some uses of gst_pad_query.
* gst/gstqueryutils.c: Build fixes. Make parse functions ignore
NULL out parameters.
(gst_query_new_position): New proc, allocates a new position
query.
* gst/Makefile.am (libgstreamer_@GST_MAJORMINOR@_la_SOURCES): Add
gstqueryutils.c to the build.
* gst/gststructure.c (gst_structure_set_valist): Implement with
the generic G_VALUE_COLLECT.
Original commit message from CVS:
2005-05-06 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gstquery.h
* gst/gstquery.c (_gst_query_initialize): Extend GstQuery from
GstData, init a memchunk.
(standard_definitions): Add a few query types, deprecate a few.
(gst_query_get_type): New proc.
(_gst_query_copy, _gst_query_free, gst_query_new): GstData
implementation.
(gst_query_new_application, gst_query_get_structure): New public
procs.
* docs/design/draft-query.txt: Removed LINKS from the query types,
because all the rest can be dispatched to other pads -- seemed
ugly to have a query that couldn't be dispatched. internal_links
is fine as a pad method.
* gst/gstpad.h: Add query2 as a pad method, add the new functions
in gstpad.c, but maintain binary compatibility for the moment.
Will fix before 0.9 is out.
* gst/gstqueryutils.c:
* gst/gstqueryutils.h: New files, implement 3 methods for each
query type: parse_query, parse_response, and set. Probably need an
allocator as well.
* gst/gst.h: Add gstquery.h and gstqueryutils.h to the list.
* gst/elements/gstfilesink.c (gst_filesink_query2):
* gst/base/gstbasesrc.c (gst_basesrc_query2): Replace old query,
query_types, and formats methods.
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_query2, gst_pad_query2_default)
(gst_pad_set_query2_function): New functions.
(gst_real_pad_init): Set query2_default as the default query2
function. Basically just dispatches to internally linked pads.
Needs review!
* gst/gstdata_private.h (_GST_DATA_INIT): Set data->refcount to 1
without using the atomic operations. Only one thread can possibly
be accessing the data at this point. Changed so as to avoid
gst_atomic operations.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.c: Remove handling of filtered caps. Fix/merge
functions that handle filtered links.
* gst/gstpad.h: Remove 'appfilter' field and prototypes of
removed functions.
* gst/gstutils.c: Fix/remove utility functions that handle
filtered caps.
* gst/gstutils.h:
* gst/gstvalue.c: Add serialization/deserialization of caps
* gst/parse/grammar.y: Ignore filtered caps when linking. This
requires fixing so that the filter caps notation creates
a capsfilter element and sets the filter_caps property. I
think everyone probably wants to keep the shorthand notation.
* docs/gst/tmpl/gstelement.sgml: updates for API changes.
* docs/gst/tmpl/gstpad.sgml:
* gst/elements/gstelements.c: Register capsfilter element.
* gst/Makefile.am: fix spacing

Simplify pad activation.
Added function to check if pull_range can be performed.
Error out when pulling inactive or flushing pads.
Removed const from refcounted types as it does not make sense.
Simplify pad templates in basesink
Added base class for simple 1-to-1 transforms.
Make identity subclass the base transform.

Added GstMessage for sending notifications on the bus.
Added GstTask as an abstraction for pipeline entry points.
Removed GstThread.
Removed Schedulers.
Simplified GstQueue for multithreaded core.
Made _link threadsafe, removed old capsnego.
Added STREAM_LOCK and PREROLL_LOCK in GstPad.
Added pad blocking functions.
Reworked scheduling functions in GstPad to prepare for
scheduling updates soon.
Moved events out of data stream.
Simplified GstEvent types.
Added return values to push/pull.
Removed clocking from GstElement.
Added prototypes for state change function for next merge.
Removed iterate from bins and state change management.
Fixed some elements, disabled others for now.
Fixed -inspect and -launch.
Added check for GstBus.
Original commit message from CVS:
First THREADED backport attempt, focusing on adding locks and
making sure the API is threadsafe. Needs more work. More docs
follow this week.
Original commit message from CVS:

(gst_pad_call_get_function):

Fix#150546, enable tests.
Original commit message from CVS:
2004-07-14 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gsttag.c: Add a tag merge func for pointers. The header was
there all along, but the function wasn't. (guile-gstreamer's build
system uses the address of the function -- I wasn't actually
trying to use this.)
2004-07-13 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_try_set_caps): Naive link functions (such
as gst_pad_proxy_pad_link) just link to every other pad when they
are called. In the case where the graph has cycles, this will mean
that a call to try_set_caps will recurse. Allow this recursion
and return OK, while we wait for the first try_set_caps to give a
proper return value.
(gst_pad_link_call_link_functions): Since this function is the
only one to set the NEGOTIATING flag on a pad, if the flag is set
it means that the link functions have indirectly recursed. If this
happens, error out to avoid infinite recursion and an eventual
SEGV.
(gst_real_pad_class_init): Remove a crufty GtkObject comment.
(gst_pad_proxy_getcaps): Intersect the result with the template
caps to ensure that the return value is valid.
2004-07-11 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* gst/gstdata.c (gst_data_is_writable): s/>=/>/. If there is only
one refcount, the calling function is the owner of the buffer.

* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_set_active), (gst_pad_link_new),
(gst_pad_link_free), (gst_pad_link_try), (_invent_event),
(gst_pad_pull):
implement enforcing discont events before buffers are passed. This
allows state changes of only some elements and later correctly going
on where they left off (or in short: you can now set audio sinks to
NULL to release the device when the pipeline is paused)
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_call_chain_function),
(gst_pad_call_get_function):
* gst/gstpad.h:
add gst_pad_call_chain_function and gst_pad_call_get_function for
scheduler interaction. They are required because of the changes
above.

(untested)
* gst/schedulers/gstoptimalscheduler.c:
(gst_opt_scheduler_class_init):
remove useless select, lock and unlock function calls
* gst/elements/gstaggregator.c: (gst_aggregator_loop):

* gst/gstelement.h: deprecate function factory macros
GST_ELEMENT_QUERY_TYPE_FUNCTION(), GST_ELEMENT_EVENT_MASK_FUNCTION().
These are our last variadic macros that can't be replaced with
inlines. Celebrate! Also fix a typo in an #ifdef that was
attempting to deprecate gst_element_clock_wait().

* gst/gstpad.h:
Add gst_pad_proxy_getcaps(), which filter elements can use

Fix gst_pad_get_allowed_caps(). It just wasn't doing what
was advertised.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.c:
Rearrange/rewrite much of the pad negotiation code, since it
resembled pasta. This actually changes the way some
negotiation works, since the previous code was inconsistent
depending on how it was invoked. Add (internal) structure
GstPadLink, which is used to hold some information (more in
the future) about the link between two pads. Fixes a number
of bugs, including random lossage of filter caps when the
initial negotiation is delayed. A few functions are still
unimplemented.
* gst/gstpad.h:
Add GST_PAD_LINK_{SUCESSFUL|FAILED}() macros. Please use
these when testing GstPadLinkReturn values instead of comparing
directly.
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.

- make *_PAD_* macros use glib casts
- make spider typefinding merge buffers correctly
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a simple function gst_pad_recover_caps_error that a plugin
should call from now on (instead of gst_element_error). This function
will emit a caps_nego_failed signal that the app can catch to resolve
the negotiation failure.

Original commit message from CVS:
This changes an important part of the plugin API, gst_pad_try_set_caps() no longer returns a boolean, it now returns a GstPadConnectReturn, which makes much more sense than a boolean. All plugins have also been changed, so don't worry ;)

Original commit message from CVS:
Delay pad negotiation until the element is in READY or higher. this will
gice the element a chance to open its devices before we start calling the
connect functions.
Make sure we use the real pad in the negotiation.
Some other small cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
miscellaneous fixes, added gst_pad_unset_sched() api.
although I unref the old pipeline and the cothread context gets freed in dynamic-pipeline.c,
I still get segfaults.
Original commit message from CVS:
Landed the new improved capsnegotiation system.
The main idea is to keep track of the possible data types that can
pass through a connection. plugins can at any time inspect, adjust and
refine these caps. plugins also get notified when something changes to
the types so that they can reconfigure themselves.
Look at the updated plugins and the soon to be finished doc.
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:
Tee Fixes.
added cothread_stop (not used)
improved the pad event dispatcher.
added an event_received signal on the pad.
do less state changes in the autoplugger.
small scheduler fix.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Elements can now send events to their parent.
- remove the g_signals from the core for parent<->child communication
- the application can easily get element info by listening for an event
signal from the toplevel bin.
- added gst_element_info()/_error().
- fakesrc and fakesink use the info event instead of g_print.
- GST_TYPE_* causes segfaults with elect fence, rever to G_TYPE_POINTER
until we know what's wrong.
- various leaks fixed wrt element destroy.
- The object that created the event is now stored as GST_EVENT_SRC
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:
API docs.
revived _buffer_ref_by_count
fast types for scheduler and bin.
error checking on plugin features;

to quiet the warnings.
2. Fix GstBufferCopyFunc prototype.
3. Re-apply the reverted type!=0 assertion in gst_elementfactory_new.

Properly implemented the disksink.
Fixed a compile problem with alsa.
Added bufferpool handling to dvdec
Some compiler warning fixes
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large patch:
- changed the API for the padtemplates:
- remove the factories (array of pointers) for the padtemplates,
properties and caps. The static array was a nice idea but converting
all the property values to a gpointer was not a good idea.
float properties were not possible, and casting a gint to a pointer
is not very portable. The new API just uses the _padtemplate_new,
_caps_new and _props_new functions to create the templates.
This has the added benefit that the API is now uniform for static
and dynamic templates and that the code can be made cleaner.
- lots of cleanups in the way the capabilities are constructed (va_list)
- lots of updates for all the plugins (new API)
- docs updates (new API)
- removed the videoraw docs.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of updates to the plugins for caps negotiation.
Added YUY2 output to the win32 dlls.
Added a colorspace converter in gstplay
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego proxying. It should be OK now.
Added another testcase enum that shows various capsnego algorithms.
Warn about pads that try to set a capability incompatible with their
padtemplate.
Implemented refcounting and copy_on_write for caps/props.
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:
More doc updates
Manual additions: xml/load save of custom XML, debugging, request pads
added a signal to the example plugin
fixed a bug in mp3parse (ifdef 1)
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked getregion/pullregion stuff. Region is now specified by a type
(OFFSET_LEN, TIME_LEN, etc.) and two guint64's. They are offset and len,
where offset can be used for the time field, and len would be zero or
the time unit (say, 33ms for video).
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:
- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.
Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates
Added XML load from memory functionality
Undid the videosink patch, something else is wrong now on my machine:
no MMX acceleration :-(
Original commit message from CVS:
Major cleanup of the latest ghostpad changes. Fixed everything that
broke, correctly. Someone will want to go update the API doc templates.
Original commit message from CVS:
First pass at updating to new ghostpad system. The objects are in place,
I now need to go and get all the Bin end of things worked out. Testing
should be fairly easy, at least for verification.
Everything I've tried so far works with no changes, with is amazing.
That's just cool. Once again we rewrite an entire subsystem, and nothing
else notices anything but the new features ;-)
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
Rearranged cothreads sources a bit, added some API docs.
Added some functions needed for gstreamer-inspect.
Added num_sources to fakesink.
Original commit message from CVS:
Started work on better ghostpad management, and started to build the low-
level EOS mechanism.
Also removed a couple of printouts that aren't needed any more.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added multiple caps to the pads
Extended the padfactory for the multiple caps
GstCaps now have a name so that future manipulations on them can be done by name
Updated the plugins for the new caps list
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive scheduling changes (again). Not entirely complete, but getting
closer. Need to think about various scheduling plans that we might want
to produce, and figure out the rules for what is legal, and how to get
the results we need as far as the plan.
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:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the GstPadFactory and added the GstPadTemplate.
The GstPadFactory is an easy way to define a pad with capabilities.
The GstPadFactory is converted into a GstPadTemplate. The template is
used to create new pads and to expose the possible pads used in an
element to the plugin system.
updated mp3parse, mpg123, cdparanoia to the new API.
Rerun gstreamer-register because the XML definition has changed.
Original commit message from CVS:
More Caps changes, this change introduces the padfactory. the GstPadFactory
will be used to describe the pads that an element will contain during
its lifetime.
mpg123 and mp3parse serve as an example.
More XML changes to incorporate the padfactories.
Original commit message from CVS:
First attempt at rebuilding the type/plugin system
- make sure caps/props are saved in the registry
autoplugging is completely broken.
removed the typefactories and typeids from all the pads in the plugins
XML load/save is ok (be sure to rerun gstreamer-register)
Original commit message from CVS:
Snapshot of work-in-progress do deal with out-of-bin elements. Current
system is very likely going to be ditched due to its complexity and the
fact that it doesn't work right now. More than that, it's generating some
really odd results in my test program, which aren't readily explainable.
If you want to keep a working copy of your working copy (heh), don't update
until this is replaced with a hybrid approach. This approach will be the
beginning of a plan generator that can construct full hybrid schedules
given hints from various places.
Hybrid means that cothreads are used, but there are chunks of the pipeline
that are actually dealt with by chaining. This can improve speed by
reducing cothread switches (which are much cheaper than thread switches,
but still far from free, about 570 cycles on my PIII), but does carry a
complexity burden. Luckily, the structure of GStreamer allows that burden
to live entirely in create_plan. Luck? I think not ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the way things are scheduled, especially sources. A Src used to
have a push() function, and optionally a pushregion() to deal with async
reads, etc. That whole thing has gone away, in favor of providing a
pull() function for the output (Src) pad instead, ala chain functions.
This makes constructing cothreaded schedules out of non-loop elements
somewhat easier. Basically there was always a question as to which pad
was being dealt with. In the pullregion case, cothread-specific data was
used to try to pass the region struct to the right place, which is a slow
hack. And in general, the push function severely limited the kind of
tricks that could be played when there's more than one output pad, such as
a multi-out file reader with async capabilities on each pad independently.
This changes the way cothread scheduling occurs. Instead of the hack to
deal with Src's by calling their push() function (or optionally the
pushregion(), in certain cases), we now are working towards a general
mechanism where pads are the only thing that are dealt with directly.
An optimization was made in the process of doing this: the loopfunction
actually run as the outer [stack] frame of the cothread is now set more
intelligently in create_plan() based on what kind of element it is. We
now have:
loopfunc_wrapper: used for loop-based elements, it simply calls the
loopfunc in a loop, paying attention to COTHREAD_STOPPING (see
below). It currently does other, soon to be depracated, stuff.
pullsrc_wrapper: wraps a Src that's not loop-based (since your options
are now loop- or pull-based)
There will be a couple more to deal with other cases, such as Connections
and chain-based elements. The general idea is that it's a lot more
efficient to make the decisions once in create_plan than to keep doing
this huge if/else chain in the wrapper. Just choose the right wrapper up
front. It'll be most apparent performance-wise in the case of whichever
element context is switched to first for each iteration, since the whole
wrapper setup is done for every iteration.
The tricky part is that there is now a bit of overloading of the function
pointers in a pad. The current meanings (possibly to change a bit more
soon) are:
chainfunc: as always, chainfunc pointer is mirrored between peer pads
(this may change, and the chain func may end up in pushfunc)
pushfunc: SrcPad: gst_pad_pushfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer
SinkPad: none (may take over chainfunc, see below) pullfunc:
SrcPad: Src or Connection's function to construct buffers
SinkPad: gst_pad_pullfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer
There are a number of issues remaining with the scheduling, not the least
of which is the fact that Connections are still dealt with the old way,
with _push() functions and such. I'm trying to figure out a way to unify
the system so it makes sense. Following the scheduling system is hard
enough, trying to change it is murder.
Another useful scheduling addition, mentioned above, is COTHREAD_STOPPING.
It's an element flag that's used to signal whatever code is running in
cothread context that it should be finishing up and exiting soon. An
example of this is in plugins/cobin/spindentity.c. All the loops should
now be composed of do/while loops, rather than while(1) loops:
do {
buf = gst_pad_pull(spindentity->sinkpad);
gst_pad_push(spindentity->srcpad,buf);
} while (!GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING(element));
The reason for this is that COTHREAD_STOPPING may be set before the above
loop ever gets started. It wouldn't do for the body of the loop to never
once get called, that would simply stall the pipeline. Note that only the
core library code is ever responsible for setting and unsetting this flag.
All elements have to do is respond to it by cleanly exiting the loop and
the function holding it.
This is needed primarily to allow iterations to occur properly.
Basically, there's a single entry point in the cothread scheduling loop,
gst_bin_iterate_func() simply switches to this cothread. If the element
in this context is allowed to loop infinitely, nothing would even switch
back to the context from which the iterate() was originally called. This
is a bit of a problem. The solution is for there to be an implicit switch
back to the originating context. Now, even I'm not sure exactly how this
works, but if the cothread that's switched to actually returns, execution
returns back to the calling context, i.e. iterate_func().
COTHREAD_STOPPING is therefore set just before switching into this
(currently randomly chosen) context, on the assumption that it will return
promptly after finishing its duties. The burden of clearing the flag
falls to the various wrapper functions provided by the Bin code, thus
element writers don't have to worry about doing that at all (and simply
shouldn't).
Related changes:
All the sources in elements/ have been changed to reflect the new system.
FIXMEs:
1) gstpipeline.c calls gst_src_push at some point, dunno why, it's
commented out now.
2) any other sources, including vcdsrc, dvdsrc, and v4lsrc will break
badly and need to be modified to work as pull-based sources.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added multiple types to the pads.
Added first preview of the capabilities system.
Autoplugging is seriously broken with these (and other) changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added seeking to the avi decoder by implementing pull_region.
Fixes to the asyncdisksrc.
Added thread specific data to the cothreads.
Original commit message from CVS:
Code cleanup, make it adhere to the Gnome/Gtk+ code formatting, which is
quite clean and more readable.
Renamed parseavi to avidecoder
Implemented seeking/time display/pause/play/stop/clean exit to gstmediaplay
Added an element flag to indicate that it cannot deal with noncontigous
buffers. If such an element is found in the pipeline, seeking is disabled
for the complete stream (avidecoder cannot deal with seeking until we convert
it to a loop based element with pull_region to fetch the indeces etc...)
Original commit message from CVS:
Loading and saving of XML pipeline descriptions.
GladeXML like operation implemented (you can retrieve parts of a pipeline)
Original commit message from CVS:
Megapatch, changes which states are available, how they're used, and how
they're set. Also modifies the scheduling system, breaking pulled
buffers. Check mail archives for more details.
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.
Original commit message from CVS:
Switched Cr and Cb in YUV2RGB
fixed the avi parser (gstriff had wrong size)
the system_encoder can now do video only system streams
sanitized the colorspace and scaler api.
added fast self modifying asm scaler.
worked on the typefind stuff.
added a cool media player (gstplay) it uses the typefinder to playback
avi, mpeg1 (system and video) streams. It is also a testbed and a real app.
Original commit message from CVS:
Documentation updates. All standard library objects and standard
elements are documented. Modified some of the elements to more
accuratly report about their arguments so the documentation builds
more reasonable output.
Added aviencoder and jpegencoder elements (not working yet)
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a rather large patch. Switched on -Wall compiler flag and fixed
the warnings.
Made the Video for Linux more like it should be.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a pull function in the gstpad. Modified the videosink to implement
the pull. This function allows a source element to request a buffer
from the destination. This is much more efficient because the
videosink can then pass a buffer with SHM to the element, which does
not require an aditional memcpy.
removed scaling from the videosink. I need something better.
