This should fix QoS problems, where basesink believed it was rendering with
20FPS but actually we were just queueing up X11 Expose events and only once
in a while something was rendered.
I was lucky that:
e1 = vc_dispmanx_element_add ()
eglCreateWindowSurface (e1)
vc_dispmanx_element_remove (e1)
e2 = vc_dispmanx_element_add ()
resulted in having e2 equal to e1. And also having the egl surface
that does not allocate its buffers before the first draw.
It avoids to draw to an invalid buffer.
Withtout this the default frame buffer is undefined:
glBindFramebuffer (GL_FRAMEBUFFER, 0)
Visually you could see some white frames at the beginning
when lunching videotestsrc ! glimagesink
With OpenGL Profiler from XCode you could see some
GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION for the first frames
"(NSApplication *)sharedApplication This method also makes a connection
to the window server and completes other initialization"
The implicit thing which is not mentioned is that it required
to be called in the main thread.
Fix a regression introduces by 82b7c915bb
When using with gst-launch, it was not possible to click on the close
cross of the window anymore which is a bit anoying and also because
it's was possible before.
Prior to this commit the GstGLContextCocoaClass was initialized
in the main thread because gst_gl_context_new was called in the
state change function from going from ready to paused.
From this commit this call is done from the streaming thread.
So that the call to [NSApplication sharedApplication];
was not done in the main thread anymore.
We now ensure that by assuming there is a GMainLoop running.
It's for debugging purpose so that's ok to do that. Also
note we already do this assumtion to run app itereations.
The regression had no consequence on the cocoa/videooverlay example
(that should be moved from gst-plugins-gl to -bad) because the
application is responsible for that necessary call.
This patch provides the basic infrastructure required for this.
Upload and Download has been ported to this.
Has the nice effect of allowing GstGLMemory to be our
refcounted texture object for any texture type (not just RGBA).
Should not lose any features/video formats.
As the relevant variables are initialized to 0/NULL, we can loop
over the full range and make sure we free partial allocations
when an error happens partway through initialization.
Mesa, for example returns valid pointers for glGetIntegerv and
glGetStringi even if the gl version is less than that required for
both those functions to supposedly exist.
