Original commit message from CVS:
- if you call gst_element_request_pad_by_name() with, say "sink4" as the pad name
and there is a "sink%d" template, the request_new_pad function will be called.
this is to allow for, for example, requesting a certain channel on a multichannel
device.
- to this end, request_new_pad now has the following prototype:
GstPad* (*request_new_pad) (GstElement *element, GstPadTemplate *templ, const gchar *name)
if request_pad_by_name was called with a name like "sink%d" (i.e. no parsing
was necessary) then NULL is passed as 'name'.
- all plugins that use request pads have been changed to the new api.
also, some incremental (untested) alsa updates, switching to the bytestream api...
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of modifications to the plugin system.
- Added a GstPluginfeature object that serves as a base class for all
plugin contents.
- changed the plugin API, everyhting is now added with
gst_plugin_add_feature
- typefactories are named now so that they can be located easily and filled
in at plugin load.
- mime types like "video/raw image/raw" are gone for now.
- lots of plugin updates (style and API changes)
- tested with an without registry.
- updates to various tools.
- added a little testsuite to test/show how you can load plugins (4 modes)
Test this one, Almost everything has changed :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Aplied the patch from Andy Wingo <apwingo@eos.ncsu.edu> add padtemplates
to element classes without using an elementfactory.
The gst_element_add_padtemplate_to_class method was renamed to
gst_element_class_add_padtemplate to better match glib/gtk conventions.
Original commit message from CVS:
gobject2gtk.h: added g2g_object_get_type() prototype
gst.c: fixed gst_add_paths_func() prototype
gstelement.c: changed some prototypes, added a cast
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the arguments for DEBUG and INFO. Removed -debug-verbose.
Renamed GST_DISABLE_XML to GST_DISABLE_LOADSAVE and added --disable flag.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed a stupid assert in request_pad.
Some fixes for pullregion and EOS conditions.
Remove an unneeded check in the scheduler (check for NULL buffer)
some EOS fixes for pullregion in disksrc.
Removed the macro in the gstparse.h header 'cause it's internal to gstparse.c
Added a check in gstparse for NULL element.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a utility function in gstutils to set an object argument as a
string. gstparse.c and gstelement.c now use this function.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first attempt for XML embedding in the main core XML.
Objects will emit a signal that a user app can connect to in order to
insert its XML into the tree.
You can catch the object_loaded signal in GstXML to parse the user
supplied XML data in the stream. The object_loaded signal is implemented
with a custom made class signal. All GstObject classes now automatically
create a GstSignalObject that serves as a proxy to the user app when an
object is loaded. All objects are currently responsible to emit the
class signal themselves.
runxml and createxml serve as an example how the XML hooks can be used to
insert and retrieve custom XML tags.
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:
Add gst_element_request_compatible_pad and remove gst_element_request_pad.
Implemented something reasonable for gst_element_request_compatible_pad,
but havn't tested much: it won't work for tee because the pad templates
have no caps, and negotiation is not yet written, so it is assumed that the
tee pads can't connect to anything.
Original commit message from CVS:
More EOS changes.
When a bin2 is found inside a bin1, we add the bin2 to the EOS providers
of the bin1. When there is nothing more to schedule in bin1 and bin2 has
fired EOS, bin1 is in EOS.
The queue overrides the EOS notification and calls EOS on the src pad
when the queue is empty and the sink pad is in EOS.
Original commit message from CVS:
A very small change to make eos somewhat work. no inner bins are checked.
When an element fires EOS, the chain with that element is removed from
the scheduler (marked inactive). If all chains are inactive, the bin
fires EOS.
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:
Updated the manual and the docs.
Removed the esdsink in gst/elements/ we have a real one not in the
plugins dir.
Added more APIs to query the plugins, types and caps. more fields now
have a getter and a setter. This is needed to make gstreamer wrapper
fiendly.
Added gst_element_disconnect beacuse we also have a gst_element_connect
Original commit message from CVS:
Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
GST_DEBUG now takes a category parameter, which is the same as GST_INFO
system. They are now called GST_CAT_*. All the GST_DEBUGs are set to 0
for now, we need to go and fix all these eventually.
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:
Docs updates: remove sink, src, filter, connection
added gstinfo to docs.
Updated some core files for the docs
gsttypefind did not include gst_private
Added CFlags to Makefile.am in gst/elements
Original commit message from CVS:
Added DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR systems. Very little code is converted yet.
Policy decisions need to be made as to what kinds of cases get what kind
of response, and what the default ERROR response should be. Right now it
will print out all the information, then have gdb spew a stack trace.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reparented everything to GstElement, removing GstSrc, GstSink, GstFilter,
and GstConnection. Also fixed a bug in gst_bin_iterate_func.
