It allows encoders to detect and drop input frames which are already
late to increase the chance of the pipeline to catch up.
The QoS logic and code is directly copied from gstvideodecoder.c.

This is used to indicate upstream the requirement in buffers
while no buffer pool can be provided. In this case, only
configure the pool with caps/size/min/max if we have caps,
which we only parsed when there was no allocation pool.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730758
__gst_video_element_proxy_caps is called by
__gst_video_element_proxy_getcaps with caps set to the caps
allowed downstream. As we didn't set colorimetry or
chroma-site on the resulting caps, upstream considered it
possible to use whatever values it wanted, leading to
not negotiated errors later on.
As the description for that function is:
"Takes caps and copies its video fields to tmpl_caps",
it seems legitimate to set these fields there.

The goal here is to minimize the work needed to bring all images
to a common format. A better criteria than the number of pads
with a given format is the number of pixels with a given format.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786078
Crossfading is a bit more complex than just having two pads with the
right keyframes as the blending is not exactly the same.
The difference is in the way we compute the alpha channel, in the case
of crossfading, we have to compute an additive operation between
the destination and the source (factored by the alpha property of both
the input pad alpha property and the crossfading ratio) basically so
that the crossfade result of 2 opaque frames is also fully opaque at any
time in the crossfading process, avoid bleeding through the layer
blending.
Some rationnal can be found in https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7773.

When the pad has received EOS, its buffer may still be mixed
any number of times, when the pad's framerate is inferior
to the output framerate.
This was introduced by my patch in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782962, this patch
also correctly addresses the initial issue.
When the input is TRICKMODE_KEY_UNITS, we expect to only receive keyframes
which we want to decode/push immediately. Therefore don't queue them.
If upstream didn't send just keyframes (which is the ideal situation), two
different things can happen:
1) Either the subclass checks the segment flags and properly configures
the decoder implementation to only decode/output keyframes,
2) Or the subclass really decodes and outputs everything, in which case
the reverse frames will end up arriving "late" downstream (and will
be dropped). If upstream did properly send GOP in reverse order, we
still end up just showing keyframes (but at the overhead of decoding
everything).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777094
When caps changes while streaming, the new caps was getting processed
immediately in videoaggregator, but the next buffer in the queue that
corresponds to this new caps was not necessarily being used immediately,
which resulted sometimes in using an old buffer with new caps. Of course
there used to be a separate buffer_vinfo for mapping the buffer with its
own caps, but in compositor the GstVideoConverter was still using wrong
info and resulted in invalid reads and corrupt output.
This approach here is more safe. We delay using the new caps
until we actually select the next buffer in the queue for use.
This way we also eliminate the need for buffer_vinfo, since the
pad->info is always in sync with the format of the selected buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780682
Always put multiview-caps onto the output caps, assuming
mono if we've got no other information. It's still easy for
downstream elements to override using a capssetter or event
probe if desired.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776172
When entering this code path, we know that:
We received EOS on this pad.
We consumed all its buffers.
In any case, we want to replace vaggpad->buffer with NULL,
otherwise we will end up mixing the same buffer twice.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781037
The GSource for dealing with timeouts in
gst_video_convert_sample_async() might be attached to a non-default
context, so we should not be using g_source_remove() on the returned ID.
The correct thing to do is to keep a reference to the actual GSource and
then call g_source_destroy() on it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780297
Track how long it takes to generate the first buffer after a flush
as a simple measure of how efficient the decoder is at skipping /
rushing to get to the first decode.
When initializing a timecode from a GDateTime, and the remaining time
until the new second is less than half a frame (according to the given
frame rate), it would lead to the creation of an invalid timecode, e.g.
00:00:00:25 (at 25 fps) instead of 00:00:01:00. Fixed.

Use G_GUINT64_FORMAT for guint64 values.
Introduced by fcb63e77a9
Found by Alexander Larsson
gstvideodecoder.c: In function 'gst_video_decoder_have_frame':
gstvideodecoder.c:3312:51: error: format '%u' expects argument of type 'unsigned int', but argument 8 has type 'guint64 {aka long long unsigned int}' [-Werror=format=]
Don't guess a timestamp of the start of the segment when running
in reverse mode, as more likely it means we're discontinuous somewhere
in the middle of the segment, and we'll fix up timestamps once
the frames are decoded and reversed.
When a PTS is not set, we still want to store the rest of the
buffer information, or else we lose important things like the
duration or buffer flags when parsing.
This adds a property to select the maximum number of threads to use for
conversion and scaling. During processing, each plane is split into
an equal number of consecutive lines that are then processed by each
thread.
During tests, this gave up to 1.8x speedup with 2 threads and up to 3.2x
speedup with 4 threads when converting e.g. 1080p to 4k in v210.

In gst_video_time_code_is_valid, also check for invalid
ranges when using drop-frame TC. Refactor some code which
broke after the check was added.

It was taking the initial input y-offset from the output value, which
only works for y=0 (in which case both are the same). If y > 0, we would
always stay behind the requested input offset and never ever read
anything from the input.
Sometimes there is a human-oriented timecode that represents an
interval between two other timecodes. It corresponds to the human
perception of "add X hours" or "add X seconds" to a specific timecode,
taking drop-frame oddities into account. This interval-representing
timecode is now a GstVideoTimeCodeInterval. Also added function to add it to
a GstVideoTimeCode.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776447
The flags and field order weren't properly initialized in the
gst_video_info_init().
Furthermore in gst_video_info_from_caps() we might set unitiliazed
values previously, this only sets them if valid.
For drop-frame timecodes, the nsec_since_daily_jam doesn't necessarily
directly correspond to this many hours/minutes/seconds/frames. We have
to get the frame count as per frames_since_daily_jam and then convert.

Refuse to answer BYTES queries ourselves. The only

It adds a third argument to pass GstBufferPoolAcquireParams
to gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer.
If a user subclasses GstBufferPoolAcquireParams, this allows to
pass an updated param to the underlying buffer pool at each
gst_video_decoder_allocate_output_frame_with_params call.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773165
Usually this information is static for the whole stream, and various
container formats store this information inside the headers for the
whole stream.
Having it inside the caps for these cases simplifies code and makes it
possible to express these requirements more explicitly with the caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771376
Also the format must be fixed on the default raw caps. If not
gst_video_info_from_caps() will fail and
gst_video_decoder_negotiate_default_caps() return FALSE.
The test simulates the use case where a gap event is received before
the first buffer causing the decoder to fall back to the default caps.

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
They are false positive overflows, because coverity doesn't realize that
hours <= 24, minutes < 60 and seconds < 60 in all functions. Also casting the
number 60 (seconds in minute, minutes in hour) to guint64 for the
calculations, in order to avoid overflowing once we allow more than 24-hour
timecodes.
CIDs #1371459, #1371458
Most of them are overflow related and false positives, but coverity can't know
that these can't overflow without us giving it more information. Add some
assertions for this.
One was an actual issue with flags comparison.

We need to take into account the input segment flags to know whether
we should drain the decoder after a new keyframe in trick mode.
Otherwise we would have to wait for the next frame to be outputted (and
the segment to be activated) which ... well ... kind of beats the whole
point of this draining :)
And especially don't use the stream lock for that, as otherwise non-serialized
queries (CONVERT) will cause the stream lock to be taken and easily causes the
application to deadlock.

Fix problem with the line cache where it would forget the first line in
the cache in some cases.
Keep as much backlog as we have taps. This generally works better and we
could do even better by calculating the overlap in all taps.
Allocated enough lines for the line cache.
Use only half the number of taps for the interlaced lines because we
only have half the number of lines.
The pixel shift should be relative to the new output pixel size so scale
it.

For reverse playback it is important to handle correctly the frame sync
points, which is set when the input buffer doesn't have the DELTA_UNIT flag.
This is handled correctly when decoder is packetized, but when it is not the
frame's sync point is not copied, and the reverse playback never decodes frame
batches.
The current patch adds the buffer's flags to the Timestamp list, where the
timestamp and duration of the input buffers are hold.
There were two consecutive log messages in gst_video_decoder_decode_frame().
Given the information they provide, it is more efficient to squash them into a
single one.
The playback rate is hold in the input_segment member variable, not in the
output_segment, and the parse_gather list was never filled because of that.
This patch changes the comparison with input_segment.
The output segment is only set up after data is output, which might be far in
the future for reverse playback. Also we are here interested in the state at
the current *input* frame (which is the keyframe), not any possible output.
For reverse playback the same behaviour was already implemented in
flush_parse().
For reverse playback, chain_forward() is only used to gather frames and not
for decoding, and it is actually called by the draining logic, causing an
infinite recursion.
While it's a bit tricky to discard frames *before* decoding (because
we might not be sure which data is needed or not by the decoder), we
can discard them after decoding if they are too late anyway.
Any following basetransform based element or similar would drop the frame too.
When asked to just decode keyframe, if we got a keyframe drain out
the decoder straight away.
This avoids having to wait for the next frame and reduces delay even
more.

This ensures the decoder is properly drained out when receiving a
DISCONT buffer. The optimal way of doing this would have been to
receive a GAP event before hand but it is not always possible.
Fixes big delays with some decoders (ex gst-libav) that will not
drain out data when only decoding keyframes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767232
The base class was setting the DISCONT flag before checking whether the buffer
would be in segment or not.
Fix issues with DISCONT flags not being properly propagated downstream when
decoders buffers were out of segment.

If the input buffer is after the end of the output buffer, then waiting

Since the allocation query caps contains memory size and the pad's caps
contains the display size, a video encoder or decoder might need to allocate
a different frame size than the size negotiated in the caps.
This patch splits this logic distinction for videodecoder and videoencoder.
The user if needs a different allocation caps, should set the allocation_caps
in the GstVideoCodecState before calling negotiate() vmethod. Otherwise the
allocation_caps will be the same as the caps set in the src pad.

Changes since v1:
- Fixed x-offset calculation in uv.
- Added 6-bit shifts to FormatInfo.
When caps are already negotiated it should be possible to
select formats other than the one that was negotiated. If downstream
allows alpha video caps and it has already negotiated to a non-alpha
format, caps queries should still return the alpha caps as a possible
format as caps renegotiation can happen.
Includes tests (for compositor) to check that caps queries done after
a caps has been negotiated returns complete results

libgstreamer currently exports some debug category
symbols GST_CAT_*, but those are not declared in any
public headers.
Some plugins and libgstvideo just use GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_EXTERN()
to declare and use those, but that's just not right at
all, and it won't work on Windows with MSVC. Instead look
up the categories via the API.
gst_pad_get_allowed_caps() will return NULL if the srcpad has no peer.
In that case, use gst_pad_peer_query_caps() with template caps as filter
to have negotiated output caps properly before forwarding GAP event.

Allows the subclass to completely override the chosen src caps.
This is needed as videoaggregator generally has no idea exactly
what operation is being performed.

In the case where the stream doesn't have a framerate set and the frames
don't have a duration set, we still want to use the clipping path to
make sure we don't push buffers outside of the segment.
The problem was the previous iteration was setting a duration of 2s, which
meant that any buffer which was less than 2s before the segment start would
end up getting pushed.
Instead, use a saner 40ms (25fps single frame duration) to figure out whether
the frame could be within the segment or not
v210, UYVP and IYU1 are complex formats for which pixel stride does not really
have a meaning. If we copy width*pstride bytes per line, it's not going to do
the right thing. As a fallback, copy stride bytes per line. This might copy
uninitialized bytes at the end of each line, but at least copies the frame.

We have to queue buffers based on their running time, not based on
the segment position.
Also return running time from GstAggregator::get_next_time() instead of
a segment position, as required by the API.
Also only update the segment position after we pushed a buffer, otherwise
we're going to push down a segment event with the next position already.
