Original commit message from CVS:
first bunch of conversions to new plugin_init. Includes libs/gst, gst/id3, sys/oss, ext/gnomevfs, gst/typefind and ext/mad.
You guessed it, everything Rhythmbox needs ;)
fixed BMP typefind and made gnomevfs one plugin instead of two while doing this
Original commit message from CVS:
Add a local copy of riff.h as we don't use rifflib anymore.
Rewrite the main loop to use bytestreams instead of rifflib. Make it a loopbased
filter.
Handle metadata, cues and labels as well
Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- all typefind functions are in gst/typefind now
- more typefind functions then before
- some plugins might fail to compile now because I don't have them installed and they
a) require bytestream or
b) haven't had their typefind fixed.
Please fix those plugins and put the typefind functions into gst/typefind if they don't have dependencies
Original commit message from CVS:
Rename osselement to ossmixer and only open audio device if we have at least one pad. This makes ossmixer *only* open the mixer, which means we can open multiple mixer sessions.
Original commit message from CVS:
Add a parser for metadata
(demux_metadata): Given the buffer containing the metadata, look through it and
get the info out of it.
(wav_new_chunk_callback): Change the if statement to a switch statement.
Handle GST_RIFF_TAG_LIST by changing what the type of list it is and parsing out
metadata if it is "INFO".
Original commit message from CVS:
* added colorbalance to spec
* added mixer to spec
* added tuner to spec
* added xoverlay to spec
* a little luv goes a long way
Original commit message from CVS:
Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins:
* a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio
work is underway here, but unfinished.
* A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to
the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for
GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox.
* Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty
basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now.
Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener'
that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other
windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's
needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements.
Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2
elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated!
Original commit message from CVS:
Make GstMixerTrack a GObject. I also want to make it emit several signals, starting work is in here but it's not fully implemented yet. for OSS, this will cause issues, but for ALSA, this is all automated.
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
Add new element: frame dropper. This element inserts/drops frames to go from a certain input framerate to a certain output framerate. It's extremely simple and that's why it's so cute.
Original commit message from CVS:
Set keyframe flag only when it is a keyframe. This will break quite some formats because many encoders dont set this flag correctly, but I'll fix that as I encounter them. divx5 works correctly now. ;).
