Abuse libdvbsub PTS tracking to just store our running time in it, to get
it back in the callbacks. As GStreamer does its own PTS handling behind our
back (especially for video), we should just sync with video per running time,
not try to do it with PTS, which doesn't seem well accessible for video chain.
We can later relabel dvb-sub.c pts naming convention if wanted, it's just
passing along guint64 values, which GstClockTime fortunately is too.
The current idea is to collect the regions returned by the callback into
a FIFO buffer and pop and pre-render the top one into a separate
quick-to-blend cached format, which is then appropriately blended in the
video chain until the next one on top of the stack reaches the video chains
running time (or the fallback timer hits).
<tpm> leio, what's the mpegts demux hack about?
<leio> my libdvbsub code can't handle cut packets
<leio> so the hack instructs the demuxer to gather full packets before pushing down, but it applies that to more PES packet types than just dvbsub, but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing
<leio> either way, needs a cleaner solution, either in demuxer, or I need to handle cut packets
<tpm> ok, but really it should be fixed in the overlay, right?
<tpm> or a parser be inserted
<leio> the problem is that I don't know from the first packet beforehand if it is a cut one or no
<leio> not
<leio> err, first buffer
<leio> just when I receive the next one I see if it has a valid timestamp on it or not
<leio> so I can't very well queue it up in the chain either, I might be blocking the very last subtitle for no reason or something
<tpm> but you could just drop/ignore packets until you find one, right?
<leio> find what?
<tpm> a complete packet?
<leio> the problem isn't that they aren't complete
<leio> the problem is that they are cut across multiple GstBuffers by the demuxer without the hack
<tpm> sure, I understand that
<tpm> but you can't easily determine if a GstBuffer contains he start fragment of a packet or not?
<leio> I guess I could parse the packet and see if its length is enough, just like the libdvbsub code eventually does too
<leio> I can, it has a timestamp if it's the first chunk
<leio> I just never know if I need to wait for more, without some parsing
<tpm> ah ok
<leio> while the demuxer could just give me an uncut one in the first place
<leio> like it always does for program streams
<leio> that gather_pes is always set in gstmpegdemux, but not in gstmpegtsdemux
As imgbin_finished() is scheduled from g_idle_add, it might
be run a little later than expected, this can lead to the application
setting camerabin to ready before imgbin_finished() runs. In this case,
the processing counter goes to 0 and an assertion happens.
This patch relaxes the imgbin_finished() check on the processing
counter.
