Doing so is even more pertinent in 0.11, since core assists much less
in setting up negotiation and feedback on handling caps event is more likely
to get lost.
Add a max-threads property, which defaults to '0 = auto'
Add a utility function taken from libschroedinger which sets
the ffmpeg worker thread count to match the computer processor
count by default.
When input buffer timestamps are invalid, next timestamp are used for
audio. Then, the next out timestamp is updated with the used timestamp
and the calculated duration. However, if the used timestamp is invalid,
it should not be used. Otherwise, the next buffer will use a wrong
timestamp that is not in the clipped segment, making the buffer to be
dropped.
This fixes playback with SBTVD MPEG TS streams, using AAC LATM.
A keyframe may be quite a while in the future, and the decoder
has no way of knowing this. A poor decision could mean quite some
time with no video output.
This decision should be left to the upstream element: a demuxer
might know about incoming keyframes, or some other element might
be able to request a keyframe.
Fixes bug #649372.
Right now it doesn't use any of the extra fields AVPacket provides.
It might be wise to investigate the pts/dts ones to see if we can finally
get rid of the timing-related cruft we have.
Set the caps right after allocation of the buffer because we know the buffer is
writable then and we are correctly negotiated. Since ffmpeg keeps around
references to frames, making the buffer metadata writable where it was done
before pushing will always end up with a copy and that makes the sink do a slow
memcpy all the time.
Set caps on buffers right after we allocate them to avoid refcounting problems
and having to make the buffer metadata writable for no good reason.
Don't unmap the memory with a 0 size or we would modify the memory size when
it's not needed.
FFMpeg parsing and decoding calls require to additionally allocate bytes
at the end of the input bitstream and this padding must be initialized
to zero.

Sometimes the parser loses track of timestamps and starts to reuse old
timestamp. Feed it some dummy data and clear some context variables to work
around the problem.
When estimating the frame duration, the diff between two incomming timestamps
should be scaled by the amount of frames in the interval. Improves duration
estimation and DTS interpolation.
Use the diff between input timestamps to estimate the duration when no duration
is set on input buffers. Only do this when there are no reordered input
timestamps. Improves interpolation in DTS mode when no input duration is set.
When we flush the parser cache, we only need to clear the bytes of the cache,
not the complete state of the cache. In the case of H264 this doesn't require
the parser to receive a new SPS/PPS after a DISCONT buffer.
Add function to reset the timestamp tracking.
Check for reordered timestamps on the input buffers and assume PTS input
timestamps when we see reordered timestamps.
Recover from an occasionally wrong input timestamp by also tracking the output
timestamps. When we detect a reordered output timestamp, assume DTS input
timestamps again.
Fixes#611500
Don't use studlyCaps; gboolean != GstFlowReturn; use gst_caps_set_simple()
instead of creating a GValue just to set a boolean field on a caps structure.
See #622736.
Properly convert bytes into time using sample size, sample rate
and channels number, instead of sample rate only.
This can cause huge timestamp discontinuities (even though the
durations remain correct) and might cause problems to muxers.
Fixes#623388
The buffer durations were not being reordered along with the timestamp
and offset of the buffers, resulting in buffers using the duration of the
latest incoming frame instead of their original frame.
Fixes#611398
When we have an input width/height that should be used for clipping, only
perform the clipping if the rectangle is smaller than the actual picture size.
Fixes#330681
Don't escape the codec_data, it breaks some streams (but likely also fixes
others). It's better to leave it as is, like most other players do.
See #608332
Make check for vdpau decoders more generic. There might be vdpau
decoders we don't expect when using an external ffmpeg version,
and we want those blacklisted as well (e.g. ffdec_mpeg4_vdpau).
Use format field in the pad caps to differentiate VC-1 from WMV3.
Fix a typo in the caps creation and parsing - the field is called
'format' - not 'fourcc'
Add a dodgy hack to populate the extradata size field
(first byte) when it is 0 - as it seems to be for some (Matroska)
test files.
When the video caps aren't fixed yet, make sure we return the most
precise set of caps. It seems a regression was introduced in cc082f,
causing restricted caps to never be used if the context == NULL
None of the restricted caps generation uses the context, so no need to
check whether the context.
Fixes bug #578160.
Resetting default values is currently very complex in libavcodec, so
we only call it when needed (i.e. when a context was previously used).
Shaves off 10% of the setup of a decoder.
This reverts commit 98439aacc7.
Instead of printing a warning when trying to set the property
it should do nothing as before and the property description
should contain a note that setting it has no effect.
...instead of just doing nothing when setting it. This makes sure
that people notice that they shouldn't set the property because
it creates a warning now.
For audio always add the minimum ffmpeg buffer size, for video
use the same weird buffer size as they use in ffmpeg.c:
width*height*6 + 200
Also make setting of the buffer-size property a no-op.
Fixes bug #593651.

Fixes bug #593651.
When we are dropping frames because of QoS disable the DTS interpolation because
we won't be able to update the timestamps and end up setting the wrong
timestamps. Instead, simply use the timestamps from ffmpeg.
ffmpeg typefinders don't do bounds checking for small chunks of
data, so just skip them if we don't have a lot of data, to avoid
invalid memory access and/or crashes.
This now uses ffmpeg functionality to keep random metadata next to
the buffers and to get the correct offset for a frame, similar to how
timestamps are handled.
Fixes bug #578278.
PixFmt that are declared in AVCodec.pix_fmts are ones which are 'officially'
declared as being supported. We should therefore not have to create a
AVCodecContext and open an encoder to know if it's supported or not.
Also, doing it this way allows us to better pickup configuration overrides
we have in gstffmpegcodecmap for some codecs (like restrictions on width,
height, framerate like it's the case for dnxhd).
Fixes#575545
Takes codec frame delay into account (roughly the same way it does for timestamps for reordered frames) to produce frames with correct offsets.
A special hack to allow trailing frame with timestamp=segment.stop to be displayed.
Fixes bug #578278.
Cache any events we get from upstream before we're open, especially
tag events we may be getting from apedemux/id3demux or the like, and
push them downstream later when we've added our pads instead of just
dropping them silently. Fixes transcoding tags for Monkey's Audio
Files with preceding APE or ID3v2 tags (#586957). Add minimal unit
test for this.
Also push stream tags later after the global tags and the newsegment
event rather than right after creating the pad.
After a DISCONT, mark the next frame with DISCONT but don't wait for a new
keyframe. This greatly improves performance on lossy networks or currupted
frames as the decoder can usually continue and conceil errors up to the next
keyframe.
Avoid an infinite loop consuming buffer timestamp info when
the video frames contain only GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE timestamps.
Add some debug logging in the timestamp tracking paths.
Fixes: #585845
If the same instance of the plugin is asked to be initialised more that once,
instances after the first one do not register the elements properly and the
elements become not usable.
For example, if you call gst_update_registry (), is not possible to create
elements after the call since the plugin is asked to be initialised again and
does not register the elements.
Fixes#584291
The patch from Bug #580796 hacked around existing infrastructure to handle
timestamps as DTS (as in all AVI files) causing the logic to be disabled.
Properly hook the timestamp handling into the existing infrastructure to handle
these cases too, partially reverting a26b94d92c
and moving some stuff around.
Refixes #580796.
If the set of caps for either audio or video is completely empty, skip
adding that pad template to the class. Some muxers only support audio-only
or video-only and otherwise end up with EMPTY caps in the pad template.
