The workaround for https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK/issues/1139
is required for vp8 only, so move this workaround to the corresponding
postinit_decoder function
The pipeline below works with this change
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=SA10104.vc1 ! \
'video/x-wmv,profile=(string)advanced',width=720,height=480,framerate=14/1 ! \
msdkvc1dec ! fakesink
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader only parses the sequence layer for VC1, so
the structure is unknown for a stream with interlace flag set in the
sequence layer. If forcing the struct to progressive in this plugin,
MediaSDK will fail to decode such streams.
It is possible MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync returns MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM
and this error can't be recovered by retrying MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync
in some cases, so we need to limit the number of retries to avoid infinite loop.
This fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/909
../subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/sys/msdk/msdk.c(61): error C2065: 'MFX_FOURCC_RGB565'
The minimum required version for the format seems to MFX_VERSION >= 1028
Returning MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM from
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync means the allocated mfx surface is not
suitable for the current frame, we need a new mfx surface and try
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync again.
When MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync () returns MFX_WRN_DEVICE_BUSY with
an output surface, a new input surface is required when retrying
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync ().
This fixes the out-of-surface issue mentioned in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/890
This gets rid of annoying message in the log, e.g. run the pipeline
below:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=352,height=288 ! msdkh264enc ! filesink \
location=test.h264
[LIBVA]:CRITICAL - DdiMedia_DestroyImage:4357: Invalid image
This make the pipeline below works:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! msdkvpp ! \
video/x-raw,format=UYVY ! filesink location=a.yuv
Once https://github.com/intel/media-driver/pull/526 in the media-driver
is merged, the pipeline below also works:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! msdkvpp ! \
video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=UYVY ! filesink location=a.yuv
An output surface is returned but without sync point when when
MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync () returns MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA, this
surface should be released too, otherwise the surface is occupied
and it is easy to exhaust all pre-allocated mfx surfaces.
Example pipeline (input_vp8.webm contains lots of frame with show_frame
set to 0):
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=input_vp8.webm ! matroskademux !
msdkvp8dec ! msdkvpp ! fakesink

Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/issues/862
The picture structure in the output parameters from
MFXVideoDECODE_Query is set to MFX_PICSTRUCT_UNKNOWN for some codecs, so
the structure of the corresponding mfx surfaces created for decoding are
unknown. The pipeline will be broken when these surfaces are used as the
input for msdkvpp.
Example pipeline:

This is a workaround for the above issue
The memory type was used as bitwise enum, but the enum was not
defined in that way.
Nonetheless, most of the usage of the memory type was as mutually
exclusive options, rather than option composition.
This patch refactor how the memory type is defined, so it is kept
the mutual exclusion among options.
When building the msdk plugin even if libmfx is found, unless the
plugin is explicitly enabled we should not error out if msdk
dependencies are not found.
Also give an error message when we don't build the plugin on Windows
because we're not building with MSVC.
BRCParamMultiplier in mfxInfoMFX is a parameter which specifies a

According to the MSDK documation[1], MFXCloneSession is a light-weight
equivalent of MFXJoinSession after MFXInit, so MFXJoinSession call isn't
needed in the msdk plugin, otherwise the cloned session is joined to the
parent session twice, and we will get a MFX error when closing the
parent session
example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=352,height=288 ! msdkh264enc ! msdkh264dec ! \

In gst-msdk, a mfx session may be shared between different gst
elements, each element tries to set the frame allocator. However, per
the MSDK documation[1], the behavior is undefined if reset the frame
allocator while the previous allocator is in use. Fortunately all
elements use the same frame allocator, so we can avoid to call
MFXVideoCORE_SetFrameAllocator again.

If so, BGRA is the preferred output format hence BGRA will be selected
as input format by default, e.g. in the pipleline below, BGRA instead of
NV12 is selected without renegotiation, so we can avoid the NV12 issue
(see commit 3f2314a) by default.
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! glimagesink
Otherwise MFXVideoVPP_Init will fail because it is called twice without
a close.
Example pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! msdkvpp ! glimagesink
Sometimes glimagesink emits GST_EVENT_RECONFIGURE event which results
in that MFXVideoVPP_Init is called twice, then get the negotiation
failure below:

WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstMsdkVPP:msdkvpp0: not

After applying this commit, the pipeline above may run without
negotiation failure, however NV12 layout in dmabuf mode is selected in
renegotiation, the display image is corrupted due to the NV12 issue which
was mentioned in commit 3f2314a. Some other fixes are needed to avoid
renegotiation by default
In general, we should assume any unhandled error is
non-recoverable.
In the flush frames loop, some error states can cause us
to never increment the task and therefore we get stuck
in an infinite loop and generate GST_ELEMENT_ERROR
over and over again. This eventually consumes all
system memory and triggers OOM. Thus, assume the worst
and break out of the loop upon the first "unhandled" error.

We will add more profiles in the sink caps of msdkh265enc, so let
msdkh265enc re-add the sink pad template. Note this change doesn't
impact any capability
CodecProfile will be set in MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader() to match
the input stream. Setting the hard-coded profile here will mislead
user that msdkh265dec supports a special profile only.
Previously alloc_info is initialized when both thiz->initialized
and thiz->allocation_caps are true, but only thiz->initialized is
checked when alloc_info is used.
MediaSDK has been released as open source [1], but the directories
where it installs its files, are different from the binary only
distribution.
This patch adds to the libraries path the directory /lib. Also it
is defined in meson if the include directory has the mfx/ prefix,
something that is already handled in autotools.
1. https://github.com/Intel-Media-SDK/MediaSDK
the 2018.3.1 intel sdk release places libraries into /lib64 instead of
/lib/lin_x64 or /lib/x64, this commit adds /lib64 to the libdir
locations list
Fixes#815
Use async_depth for latency calcuation instead of
the length of Tasks array which could be NULL since we
don't do the msdk decoder init in set_format().
According to MediaSDK specification,
Width must be a multiple of 16 and Height must be a multiple
of 16 for progressive frame sequence and a multiple of 32 otherwise.
This patch sets a 16 bit alignment for width and 32 bit alignment
for height as default.

In cases where we do hard resest, the current code destroys the frame
which has new resolution bit early and this causes buffer_unmap
warnings. Keep an extra ref to the frame internally to avoid this.
The gst-msdk decoders only support packetized formats for
all codecs except VC1. For VC1, it supports codec_data for advanced
profiles and this codec_data wan't submitting to MSDK's DecodeHeader APIs.
Make sure the subclass deocders correctly configured so that
the codec_data buffers are in place in the internal adapter for
MediaSDK's DecoderHeader usage.
Currently we use the gst_video_decoder_get_oldest_frame()
to get the old pending frame to output. But this is not correct
if pts re-ordering required. This patch uses a custom made
get_old_frame() which accounts the PTS too similar to the
v4l2decoder.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796699
The patch adds a serios of changes to support dynamic resolution
change and efficient utilization of resources.
Major changes:
-- Use MSDK's apis to retrieve the headers instead of only relying
on upsteram notification. For eg: avc decoder requires SEI header
information for dpb count calculation which we don't get from caps.
-- For all codecs other than VP9, we force the reset of decoder
if resoultion changes to fit with gstreamer flow. VP9 enfource
the hard reset only if the new resolution is bigger.
-- delay the src caps setting till msdk api's invokation in
handle_frame to avoid caching multiple configuration values
-- ensure pool negotiation is based on decoder's allocation_caps.
--dynamic resoluttion change use an explicit allocation_query
to reclaim the buffers before closing the decoder (thanks to v4l2dec)
--In case if we don't get upstream notification of res change (for eg,
this can can happen for vp9 frames with ivfheader where ivfparse
is not able to notify the dynamic changes), we handle the the case
based on MFX_ERR_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM which is the return value
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync
-- calculate the minimum surfaces to be preallocated based on
msdk suggestion, downstream requirement, async depth and scratch surface
count for smooth display.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796566
According to msdk spec, there are two ways to enable filters:
1: Filters can be enabled by adding a filter ID
to mfxExtVPPDoUse. In this case, default filter parameters are used
2: Add filter configuration structures directly to mfxVideoParam.
Using 1 with 2 is optional but legal. Unfortunately it won't work
with some specific use cases like Detail/EdgeEnhancement.
Let's stick with option2 which works fine for all VPP operations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796468
Since we do the MSDK initializing in set_caps(), a FALSE
return may still cause the invokation of set_caps() again
and this will leads to buffer allocation and other mess-up.
So make sure the msdk initialized correctly before trying
to do any buffer allocation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796465
Make sure all the enabled filter structures are added in the
mfxVideoParm before doing the VPPQuery so that msdk
can do the input param validation

Using NV12 layout in dmabuf mode giving mis-aligned
VPP output with the media-driver. Keep the NV12 support
(so that we can file the bug agianst msdk or mediadriver),
but lower the ordering so that BGRA picks as default.
NV12 issue can be reproduced with explicit capfilter:
vidoetestsrc ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=NV12 ! glimagesink
Added a utility method to replace the MemID (interanl VASurfaceID)
associated with the mfxFrameSurface. This is usefull for dmabuf-import

The new property "output-order" can be set to either "display" order
which is the default where frames will be outputting in display order,
or "decoded-order" which will be outputting the frames in decoded order.
The "decoded order" output is generally useful for debugging. But there
are few
customers who use it for low-latency streaming. For eg if the customer
already knows that the stream doesn't have b-frames (which means no
algorithm requires for display order calculation), then they can use
"decoded-order"
output to skip some of the DPB logic to avoid the frame accumulation at
start-up.
The root cause of the above issue is a bit of unclarity in h264 spec +
lazy implementation of many H264 encoders; This is well handled in
gstreamer-vaapi using "low-latency" property:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762509https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
For packetized input, inform the msdk that the buffer has
a complete frame or complementary field pairs. For decoding,
this means that the decoder can proceed with this buffer without
waiting for the start of the next frame, which effectively reduces
decoding latency.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
Currently we use an async depth of 4 as default (based on
recommendations
in msdk apps), which indicates how many asynchronous operations an
application performs
before the application explicitly synchronizes the result. As a result,
we
queue four frames in decoder which might not be good approach for
live streaming.
This patch reset the async-depth to 1 as default so that we do sync for
each frame we decode without queuing. Customer can play with already
exposed "async-depth" property for other use cases
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795783
So far msdk produced dmabuf fds are non-mappable.
If user wants to download the content of underlined surfaces,
dmabufcapsfeature negotiated pipeline will fail. So if the input surface
is dmabuf and downstream doesn't have support for dmabuf capsfeatures,
we do the vpp (no passthrough) and produce the mappable videomemory
buffers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794946
prpose_allocation:
-- always instantiate a pool for for upstream
-- use async_depth + 1 as min buffer count
decide_allocation:
-- always create a new bufferpool for source pad.
Each of the msdk element has to create it's own mfxsurfacepool
which is an msdk contraint. For eg: Each Msdk component (vpp, dec and
enc)
will invoke the external Frame allocator for video-memory usage
So sharing the pool between gst-msdk elements might not be a good idea.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793705
Using the default value (InterleavedDec == MFX_SCANTYPE_UNKNOWN)
causing issues with non-interleaved sample decode. Ideally the usage
of MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeHeader should fix these type of issue, but
it seems to be not. But hardcoding the InterleaveDec to
MFX_SCANTYPE_NONINTERLEAVED
is fixing the problem and fortunately msdk seems to be taking care of
Interleaved samples
too .So let's hardcode it for now.

This patch includes:

There was not handling the end of encoding sequence in encoder.
This patch does drain any remaining internal streams while decoder
already does this.
Document says:
"To mark the end of the encoding sequence, call this function with a
NULL surface
pointer. Repeat the call to drain any remaining internally cached
bitstreams—one
frame at a time—until MFX_ERR_MORE_DATA is returned."

Sometimes parent context is released before its children get released.
In this case MFXClose of parent session fails.
To make sure that child sessions are closed before closing a parent
session,
Parent context needs to manage child sessions and close them first when
it's released.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793412
Currently a gst buffer has one mfxFrameSurface when it's allocated and
can't be changed.
This is based on that the life of gst buffer and mfxFrameSurface would
be same.
But it's not true. Sometimes even if a gst buffer of a frame is finished
on downstream,
mfxFramesurface coupled with the gst buffer is still locked, which means
it's still being used in the driver.
So this patch does this.
Every time a gst buffer is acquired from the pool, it confirms if the
surface coupled with the buffer is unlocked.
If not, replace it with new unlocked one.
In this way, user(decoder or encoder) doesn't need to manage gst buffers
including locked surface.
To do that, this patch includes the following:
1. GstMsdkContext
- Manages MSDK surfaces available, used, locked respectively as the
following:
1\ surfaces_avail : surfaces which are free and unused anywhere
2\ surfaces_used : surfaces coupled with a gst buffer and being used
now.
3\ surfaces_locked : surfaces still locked even after the gst buffer
is released.
- Provide an api to get MSDK surface available.
- Provide an api to release MSDK surface.
2. GstMsdkVideoMemory
- Gets a surface available when it's allocated.
- Provide an api to get an available surface with new unlocked one.
- Provide an api to release surface in the msdk video memory.
3. GstMsdkBufferPool
- In acquire_buffer, every time a gst buffer is acquired, get new
available surface from the list.
- In release_buffer, it confirms if the buffer's surface is unlocked or
not.
- If unlocked, it is put to the available list.
- If still locked, it is put to the locked list.
This also fixes bug #793525.

Since there is already an "adaptive-B" option, just
use boolean property for B-pyramid enabling.
Fixme: Not sure whether this can be supported in vp8 and vp9.

Add a new property "trellis" to enable trellis quantization.
Keeping trellis as a flag value (which is boolean for gst x264 enc element)
since it is possible to enable/disable this seperately for
I,P and B frames through MediaSDK ext option headers.
The subclass implementations always need to inform base-encoder
if it requires the inclusion of Extend Header buffers (mfxExtCodingOption2
and mfxExtCodingOption3).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791637
This option controls down sampling in look ahead bitrate
control mode. According to spec it is only supported in AVC.
Fixme: Probably HEVC also have support for this in recent
MSDK versions. We could move the enumeration types to common
header usable for multiple codecs.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791637
MediaSDK has support for a number of rate control algorithms.
Adding all possible options to the property rate-control.
Fixme1: In case of failure, currently we don't have a proper method
to show which rate-control has been failed. It could be better
to add some extensive validation on EncQuery output in case of error.
Unfortunately, not all ratecontrol methods are supported by every codecs
and we don't have the dynamic detection of supported ratecontrol methods yet.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791637
We have the property "i-frames" to set the IDR interval in a
gop. Unfortunately MSDK HEVC encoder behaves bit differently
for IdrInterval field, IdrInteval == 1 indicate every
I-frame should be an IDR (which is IdrInterval == 0 for other codecs),
IdrInteval == 2 means every other I-frame is an IDR
(which is IdrInterval == 1 for other codecs) etc.
So we generalize the behaviour of property "i-frames" by
incrementing the value by one in each case (only for HEVC).

The gst-msdk decoders prefer packetized streams as input
and in this case we can avoid unnecessary input bitstream copy
to mfxBitstream. This works fine for codecs like h264 where
we only support byte-stream with au alignment. Other format
conversions should be done thorugh parsers. But this won't work
for codecs like vc1 where we don't have an autoplugged parser.
Even the parser is not capable to do format conversions.
Packetizing through base decoders parse() routine will bring a
lot of uncecessary of complexities and codecparser libraray dependency.
So we just use an interal gst_adaper to keep track of bitstream
which is not consumed by msdk durig AsynchronusDecoding.
This adapter will get used only if subclass implementations
set the "is_packetized" to FALSE for msdk base encoder.

Currently msdkvc1dec is not capable to handle the codec_data,
only instream headers are supported. Also msdk vc1 decoder

Most of the decdoebin/playbin pipeline won't work with the above
constraints
because vc1parse is still not an autoplug element.

1\ If downstream's pool is MSDK bufferpool,
2\ If there's shared GstMsdkContext in the pipeline,
a decoder decides to use video memory.
This policy should be improved to handle more cases.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
In case that pipeline is like ".. ! decoder ! encoder ! ..." with using
video memory,
decoder needs to know the async depth of the following msdk element so
that it could
allocate the correct number of video memory.
Otherwise, decoder's memory is exhausted while processing.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
How to share/create GstMsdkcontext is the following:
- Search GstMsdkContext if there's in the pipeline.
- If found, check if it's decoder, encoder or vpp by job type.
- If it's same job type, it creates another instance of
GstMsdkContext
with joined-session.
- Otherwise just use the shared GstMsdkContext.
- If not found, just creates new instance of GstMsdkContext.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790752
According to the driver's instruction, if there are two or more encoders
or decoders in a process, the session should be joined by
MFXJoinSession.
To achieve this successfully by GstContext, this patch adds job type
specified if it's encoder, decoder or vpp.
If a msdk element gets to know if joining session is needed by the
shared context,
it should create another instance of GstContext with joined session,
which
is not shared.
