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:
Fix launch so that it can play a list of files, now that EOS works enough.
(It needs to not have to restart gstreamer each time, but good enough for
now ;-) )
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:
Move plugin example code to new location, and put it into build system.
Add work on firstplugin chapter of pwg.
Fix typo in quotes.
Add @'s before commands in manuals.mak
Original commit message from CVS:
Do gst_init first in helloworld, so you can supply gst parameters.
Correct name of frequency cap to rate, in esdsink. Now connects properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
The examples must not be installed
Removed debugging from Makefiles for avidecoder/ac3parse
/test/bindings/dummy.h cannot be installed
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:
Added launch back into make system.
The Makefile wasn't being generated, resulting in make dist failing when
the directory was entered for make dist.
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:
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:
Move a step closer to autoplugging. The element selection in the
pipeline works.
Slight modification to the typefind function handling.
removed the stupid mime types in the mpeg decoders.
Adjust videosink for the new caps handling.
Modified the queue example to show an error in plan creation; Erik can you
solve this? This is the type of pipelines autoplugging uses.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a severe timestamp bug in mpeg_play.
Create a new thread upon a multisrc element in autoplugging: the autoplug
example now correctly sets up 5 threads for an mpeg player.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added an autoplug example. This little program (30 relevant lines) is able
to play MPEG1(system)/MPEG2(system)/AVI(DIVX)/Vorbis/AC3 and whatever codec
you write.
Separated the mp3 and mpeg1 types for better reuse.
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:
A first attempt to fix the queues in a cothreaded pipeline.
Some fixes to the thread handling.
Fix a bug in gstreamer-config : gthread was not included.
gst_bin_create_plan() is now done in the READY state.
a bin with only another bin in it will now work with gst_bin_iterate.
Added some examples for the queues.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added gst_pipeline_add_sink/src to allow multiple sink cases and
more complex autoplugging. Update docs too.
Simplified the pipeline autoplugging code.
Changed the cothread case: One iteration is now a push from the src
element. The disk source does not change its state anymore on eof.
Better type setting for the ac3 parser/decoder and mpeg2parse.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changes to gstreamer-config to include gtk+ libs
manual changes: queues, threads, programs
gsteditor does not crash anymore.
gstpipline new should return a GstElement *
fixed ac3dec for new getbits
fixes to gstreamer-launch
more efficient startup for gstplay.
Original commit message from CVS:
Externalized the plugin information in /etc/gstreamer/reg.xml
- no need to do a plugin_load_all()
- plugins are loaded when needed
- typedetect functions are loaded when needed (still buggy)
- no need to check for the existance of the plugin in the codecs
- added gstreamer-register to create the reg.xml file
- renamed launch to gstreamer-launch
- plugins need to register the typefactory they provide
modified the plugins to meet the new design
modified the plugins to correctly set their pad types
autoplugging can be done without loading the plugins now
Original commit message from CVS:
More docs (most of them just empty...)
Added automatic pad plugging.
Added automatic dynamic pad plugging.
Changed some codecs to correctly set their pad types.
