Frames are encoded as different layers. Frame in a particular
layer will use pictures in lower or same layer as references.
Which means decoder can drop the frames in upper layer but still
decode lower layer frames.
B-frames, except the one in top most layer, are reference frames.
All the base layer frames are I or P.
eg: with 3 temporal layers
T3: B1 B3 B5 B7
T2: B2 B6
T1: I0 P4 P8
T1, T2, T3: Temporal Layers
P1...Pn: P-Frames:
B1...Bn: B-frames:
T1: I0->P4 , P4->P8 etc..
T2: I0--> B2 <-- P4
T3: I0--> B1 <-- B2, B2 --> B3 <-- P4

The frame_num generation was not correctly implemented.
According to h264 spec, frame_num should get incremented
for each frame if previous frame is a referece frame.
For eg: IPBPB sequece should have the frame numbers 0,1,2,2,3

Adds new property "prediction-type" to select different reference

Adds some basic building blocks to ease the implementation
of hierarchical prediction modes.
-- add an utility method to find temporal level of each frame
-- define max_ref_frame count based on temporal level count
-- add temporal_level_div[] for finding temporal level each frame
to be encoded.
-- find ip_period based on temporal level count

We can have p-frame as non-ref and also b-frame as ref
which are not supported yet. Reference flag
is the first machinery needed for more advanced
reference picture selection modes.

Adds a new function that changes the internal EGL display to the
current one (eglGetCurrentDisplay()) and sets the current context
too (eglGetCurrentContext()).
This new function is called by gst_vaapi_texture_egl_create() updating
the GstVaapiDisplayEGL with the current EGL display.

It is required to use the context of the calling thread when wrapping
a foreign texture. According the documentation of
GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta:
"The caller of gst_video_gl_texture_upload_meta_upload() must
have OpenGL set up and call this from a thread where it is valid
to upload something to an OpenGL texture."
This patch updates the EGL display and context in GstVaapiDisplay
instance to the one used by te renderer that uploads the texture.

Instead of silently fail to export the image if there is not available
the EGL_MESA_drm_image, log an error message. Also a code refactoring
was done.

As buffers negotiated with memory:VASurface caps feature can also be
mapped, they can also be configured to use VA derived images, in other
words "direct rendering".
Also, because of the changes in dmabuf allocator as default allocator,
the code for configuring the direct rendering was not clear.
This patch cleans up the code and enables direct rendering when the
environment variable GST_VAAPI_ENABLE_DIRECT_RENDERING is defined,
even then the memory:VASurface cap feature is negotiated.

Set if source pad can handle dmabuf only if the GstGL context comes
from downstream.
It is possible to know that at two moments:
1\ In the case of GstGLTextureUpload caps feature is negotiated and
downstream pool reports back gst.gl.GstGLContext.
2\ When GstGLContext is found as GstContext from dowstream.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788503
In function gst_vaapi_find_gl_context() add a direction parameter to
return back the direction where the GstGL context was found.
This is going to be useful when checking if downstream can import
dmabuf-based buffers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788503
This patch refactors the code by adding the function
vaapi_plugin_base_set_srcpad_can_dmabuf(), it determines if the passed
GstGLContext can handle dmabuf-based buffers.
The function is exposed publicly since it is intended to be used later
at GstVaapiDisplay instantiation.

Tis patch, allows some properties that we want to be set on
runtime. (eg. bitrate)
Note that all properties are under control by num_codedbuf_queued.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786321
In case of streaming, controlling bitrate dynamically for encoder might be
important to manage quality of the streaming.
This patch is to support such a scenario.

VPP support is only needed for advanced deinterlacing, which is not
enabled by default either. Error out if it is selected but VPP is not

gstreamer-vaapi initializes the display by trial-and-error, thus
logging an error message if the display initialisation fails the user
may be weary of the error message in the screen, if using VA-API 1.0
This commit set the VA error log handler to GStreamer warning level
while calling vaInitialize() and set it to error after that.

When creating the test display for querying capabilites, it try in
certain order: DRM, Wayland and finally X11. GLX nor EGL are tried
since they are either composited with X11 or Wayland.
The reason for this is to reduce the posibility of failure that could
blacklist the plugin.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782212
GstVaapiDisplayEGL is a wrapper of another GstVaapiDisplay, either X11
or Wayland. Nonetheless it created another vaDisplay for it, instead
of using the wrapped one.
This patch enables the reuse of the wrapped vaDisplay avoiding
instantiating two.

We returned FALSE from ::start() if VPP support is not available, but it
is only really needed for complex filters and during transform we check
for that. For simple deinterlacing it is not needed.
Instead of reusing a parameter variable for the return value of
gst_vaapipostproc_transform_caps(), this patch uses the function
scoped pointer. Thus, the code is cleaner.

used anymore.

This is a difference between the GObject API and the GstVaapi one: the
GValue passed to get a property value, in GObject has to be
initialized with g_value_init(), but in GstVaapi is has not.
In order to overcome this mismatch, this patch call g_value_init()
internally only in the passed one is not already initialized.
