Mention that elements implementing GstMixer and GstTuner need to be
in the right state before they can be used. Also mention GLib
functions for converting filenames to and from URIs.
Fixes#602877.
gst_event_new_sink_message()
gst_event_parse_sink_message()
This event is used for sending a GstMessage downstream and synchronized
with the stream, to be posted by the sink once it reaches the sink.
Fixes bug #602275.
and install into a different directory $(libexecdir/gstreamer-0.10) so that
everything is versioned properly.
NOTE: run 'make clean' after updating; if you are running an uninstalled setup,
you will need to update your gst-uninstalled script (unless it's symlinked
to gstreamer core master) and exit/enter your uninstalled environment to get
the updated environment. If you are running an installed setup, you should
run 'make uninstall' before merging this change or remove the old
plugin-scanner binary manually.
Fixes#601698.
gst_util_greatest_common_divisor()
gst_util_double_to_fraction()
gst_util_fraction_to_double()
Using these instead of going over GValue has much lower overhead.
Also add float<->fraction transform functions for GValue.
This returns the internal feature list cookie, which changes every
time a feature is added or removed. This can be used by elements
to check if they should update their cached feature lists.
We currently do a little too much work when we push the first buffer around
resulting in excessive caps checking. We can probably make this a little less
expensive.
This patch adds gst_caps_set_value() and allows gst_caps_set_simple() to
work on non-simple caps. See the API documentation for the functions
about what they do.
The intention of these changes is to ease working with caps in caps
transform functions. An example for this would be ffmpegcolorspace,
where the caps transform function could be changed to look roughly like
this (pseudocode ahead):
result = gst_caps_copy (template_caps);
value = gst_structure_get_value (gst_caps_get_structure (caps, 0),
"widh");
gst_caps_set_value (result, value);
/* same for height, framerate and par */
return caps;
which is much cleaner and easier to understand than the current code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597690
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
Add a simple version check when starting the plugin-scanner so we can
verify we're talking to one that talks the same language.
First try a plugin-scanner in the installed path, then try one via the
GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER env var if that doesn't work.
Update the uninstalled script.
Install the plugin-scanner to the libexec dir
Often we don't need the result of the intersection. Add a variant that only
tries to intersect. It can break out earlier and does less GValue copying.
API: gst_caps_can_intersect()
Use more refined search paths for our plugin modules. Not only does
this make things much faster in an uninstalled setup, it also makes
sure we're not accidentally using out-of-date plugins built ages
ago as part of a (failed) 'make distcheck' when we forget to clean
up the distcheck build directory.
There's no need to have GstStreamConsistency in a public header for
the time being, so make it private. While we're at it, add a gtk-doc
blurb for it though. Re-fixes #588744.
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
Add new method to iterate a bufferlist without having to allocate an iterator.
Add convenience method for getting an item from the list based on the group and
index.
Remove redundant _do_data callback and method.
Update unit-tests and add some more for the new methods.
Add functions to create a new tag list and set tags in one go, which
is nice for use in combination with functions that take ownership of
the taglist, such as gst_event_new_tag() or gst_element_found_tags().
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full()
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full_valist()
Add a pattern scan function similar to the one recently added to
GstAdapter, and a unit test (based on the adapter one).
Fixes#585592.
API: add gst_byte_reader_masked_scan_uint32()
Update design doc with step-start docs.
Add eos field to step done message
when stepping in reverse, update the segment time field.
Flush out the current step when we are flushing.
Add a bunch of vararg getter convenience functions to complement
the vararg setter functions, and a basic unit test. Fixes#534208.
API: gst_structure_get()
API: gst_structure_id_get()
API: gst_structure_get_valist()
API: gst_structure_id_get_valist()
Note in the docs that a flushing step in PLAYING brings the pipeline to the lost
state and skips the data before prerolling again.
Implement the flushing step correctly by invalidating the current step
operation, which would activate the new step operation.
Add gst_segment_to_position() that converts a running_time to a position in the
segment. A faulty variant of this function is currently used in inputselector
but we'll need it for frame stepping too.
API: GstSegment::gst_segment_to_position()
Update framestep document, we want to pass the flush flag in the step-done
message.
Add flush flag to the gstmessage.
Update examples to use the new step-done message api.
Implement framestep with playback rates < 0.0 too.
Add new STEP event and methods for creating/parsing the event
Update design docs.
Add new STEP_DONE message and method to create/parse.
API: GstEvent::gst_event_new_step()
API: GstEvent::gst_event_parse_step()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_new_step_done()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_parse_step_done()
Add a start_time field and some methods. The start_time will contain the
running_time of when the element last went to paused. This time can be user to
report the position in PAUSED but also to do more correct clipping and
stepping later.
Add a gst_element_lost_state_full() with an extra argument to control
distribution of a new base_time. We will need this for flushing step
operations.
API: GstElement::gst_element_lost_state_full()
Reuse buffer code for bufferlists. Not sure if this measurably impacts performance
for the simple buffer case, if it does after doing some benchmarks, we can
decouple it later.
Fixes#572285
Remove the static function set on the TaskPool before _prepare() is called and
allow for assigning a function to a Task when we _push().
Update the examples
Pass the thread object in a GValue, which would allow the application to figure
out the type of the object instead of us having to explicitly code it in a
message field.
Add the first version of the STREAM_STATUS message design docs.
This message will be used to give applications more control over the
streaming threads.
Two new log levels to dump FIXMEs into the log and to log data
in form of a hex dump (#578114).

Yes, 'codec' isn't exactly the best word, but let's be consistent with AUDIO_CODEC
and VIDEO_CODEC (which may be 'raw' formats as well after all). Prerequisite for
bug #576552.
Add some of the bits needed for an uninstalled gst-rtsp-server (so gdb works
on the examples etc.). Python bits are still missing, and we might need an
-uninstalled.pc file as well in the future. Break up very long lines to make
them easier to read and maintain. Also remove gst-plugins paths from the
old days.
This will be mostly useful in all elements that have some kind of internal
seek/index table. Currently almost all of them (or even all of them)
are using a linear search although the used array is already sorted,
wasting some CPU time without good reason.
Fixes bug #573623.
We got the constants for G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN the wrong way around in some docs (fixes: #572392). Also mention
G_BYTE_ORDER in the audio types section.
Add a GST_MESSAGE_REQUEST_STATE that can be posted by element when they would
like to have the application change the state of the pipeline. the primary use
case is to pause the pipeline when an audio mixer is mixing a higher priority
stream but it can also be used for other purposes.
Add some docs and a unit test.
Implement the REQUEST_STATE message in gst-launch.
API: gst_message_new_request_state()
API: gst_message_parse_request_state()
API: GST_MESSAGE_REQUEST_STATE
Replace all mentions of CVS with git. Add link to gst-uninstalled script in cgit and to SubmittingPatches page in wiki. Fix some typos. Update indenting rules to what we actually use (#571646).
This tag will list a homepage for the media,
i.e. the artist's or movie's homepage.
This is different to GST_TAG_LOCATION as the latter
lists the original location of the media.
Fixes bug #571227.
Add a property to select the clock type, currently REALTIME and MONOTONIC when
posix timers are available.
Implement the systemclock with GstPoll instead of GCond. This allows us to
schedule timeouts with nanosecond precission on newer kernels and with ppoll
support. It's also resilient to changes to the systemclock because of NTP or
similar.
Add a special timer mode in GstPoll that makes it only use the control socket
with a timeout to schedule timeouts. Also add a pair of methods to wakeup the
timeout thread.
API: GstPoll::gst_poll_new_timer()
API: GstPoll::gst_poll_write_control()
API: GstPoll::gst_poll_read_control()
We don't want to use -Wall -Werror and friends when building the gtk-doc-generated
$docmodule-scan.c, since we can't easily fix stuff if a certain gtk-doc/compiler
combination breaks the build. Fixes build on ubuntu intrepid.
Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/faq/gst-uninstalled:
Add libgstapp-0.10 from -base to search path and remove the old
lib from -bad from the search path.
