This reverts commit b75a61342f.
The parser would only set the mode to progressive or mixed, missing the
cases where it should have been interleaved. Interleaved is more
difficult to detect because in h264 it happens per frame. On the other
hand, h264 decoders detect the interlacing information per-frame and set
the caps correctly. By giving potentially incorrect interlacing
information in the parser already, it's being enforced downstream even
after decoding, breaking some use cases (e.g. an encoder can't properly
mark the stream as TFF or BFF). On the other hand, there's no valid use
case for having interlacing information on the caps at the parsing
stage, so after a lot of discussion, it was decided to revert this.
Initial commit message:
=========================
Those are the rules:
In the SPS:
* if frame_mbs_only_flag=1 => all frame progressive
* if frame_mbs_only_flag=0 => field_pic_flag defines if each frame is
progressive or interlaced, thus the mode is 'mixed' in GStreamer
terms.

This will stop stripping four bytes start code. This was fixed and broken
again as it was causing the a timestamp shift. We now call
gst_base_parse_set_ts_at_offset() with the offset of the first NAL to ensure
that fixing a moderatly broken input stream won't affect the timestamps. We
also fixes the unit test, removing a comment about the stripping behaviour not
being correct.

Otherwise we may endup pushing incomplete caps, which cause a renegotiation.
Note that this has the effect that caps are no longer pushed twice in presence
of valid framerate in the headers.
Waiting for the next NAL increases the latency. If alignment=nal/au
has been negotiated, assumes that the buffer contains a complete
NAL and don't expect a second start-code. This way, nal -> nal,
au -> au and au -> nal no longer introduce latency.
As a side effect, the collect_pad() function was not able to poke at the
following NAL. This call is now moved before processing the NAL, so
it's looking at the current NAL before it's ingested into the parser
state in order to dermin if the end of an AU has been reached. The AUD
injection state as been adapted to support this.
This change will break pipelines if alignment=nal is used without respecting the
alignment. Effectively, the parser will no longer fix the broken aligment
which will result in parser error and the termination of the pipeline. Such
issue existed in tsdemux element and might exist in any forks of that code.

Add new property "update-timecode" to allow updating timecode
in picture timing SEI depending on timecode meta. Since the picture
timing SEI message requires proper VUI setting but we don't support
re-writing SPS, this might not work for some streams
Initially the case "only codec_data is different" was addressed in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705333 in order for
unusual bitstreams to be handled. That's the case where sps and pps
are placed in bitstream. When sps/pps are signalled only via caps
by upstream, however, the updated codec_data is mandatory for decoder
and therefore we shouldn't ignore them.
Some raw h264 encoded files trigger the assignment of wrong PTS to buffers
when some SEI data is provided. This change prevents it to happen.
Also ensure this behavior is being tested.
As the H265/H264 bitstream can support multiple slices,
mastering_display_info_state and content_light_level_state
should be changed only on first slice segment.
Fix#1152
According to H264 ITU standards from 06/19, GST_H264_PROFILE_HIGH_422
(profile_idc = 122) with constraint_set1_flag = 0 and
constraint_set3_flag = 0 can be mapped to high-4:2:2 or high-4:4:4.
GST_H264_PROFILE_HIGH_422 with constraint_set1_flag = 0 and
constraint_set3_flag = 1 can be mapped to high-4:2:2, high-4:4:4,
high-4:2:2-intra or high-4:4:4-intra.
From the documentation of gst_base_parse_set_infer_ts, it should be
disabled for non-audio data. Currently just disabling for all video
parsers that have reordered data: h264, h265, mpeg, mpeg4, vc1. Was
already disabled in h263.
A guint32 greater than 2^31 would be interpreted as negative by
gst_util_uint64_scale_int() and critical. Use the 64-bit integer version
of the function instead.
The SPS parsing functions take a parse_vui_param flag
to skip VUI parsing, but there's no indication in the output
SPS struct that the VUI was skipped.
The only caller that ever passed FALSE seems to be the
important gst_h264_parser_parse_nal() function, meaning - so the
cached SPS were always silently invalid. That needs changing
anyway, meaning noone ever passes FALSE.
I don't see any use for saving a few microseconds in
order to silently produce garbage, and since this is still
unstable API, let's remove the parse_vui_param.
When sps parsing fails we use a fallback sps from the caps, since we
have got an sps we need to update parser state and header as in the case the
sps was successfully parsed
Closes#503
Expose SEI data in the H.264 bitstream parser API and
extract closed captions and other things that are not
specified in the H.264 spec itself in the videoparser.

when computing timecode metas. Depending on the value of that flag,
n_frames is to be interpreted as a number of fields or a number of
frames. As GstVideoTimeCodeMeta always deals with frames, we want
to scale that number when needed.
vps/sps/pps in codec_data shouldn't be considered as inband data.
Otherwise, h26{4,5}parse never insert them to nal when transform
(packetized to byte-stream) use case
The spec states that "recovery point SEI message assists a decoder in
determining when the decoding process will produce acceptable
pictures for display after the decoder initiates random access or after the
encoder indicates a broken link in the coded video sequence."
Mark those as keyframes so muxers will mark them as seek points and
decoders will be able to start decoding from them rather than waiting
for an IDR.

This information could be used for example to pick a decoder supporting
a specific chroma and/or bit depth, like 4:2:2 10 bits.
It can also be used to inform earlier decoder about the format it is
about to decode.

When input is in AVC format there is no need to wait for the first buffer
before setting src caps. We already have all the information from the
input codec_data.
This allow us to already configure downstream elements allowing them,
for example, to already allocate their internal buffers as they know
the format of the input they are about to receive.
