Add a new pad flag NEED_PARENT that ensures that the parent of a pad is
reffed and not NULL when the event, query and internal links functions
are called.
When a pad is added to an element automatically make sure the NEED_PARENT flag
is enabled.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
The fixate caps function was not used externally and we have vmethods in the
base classes where it is needed.
Update some docs.
simplify some fixate functions in the base classes. Also pass the untruncated
caps to the vmethod.
Make a new GstPadProbeInfo structure and pass this in the probe callback. This
allows us to add more things later and also allow the callback to replace or
modify the passed object.
Make a separate cookie to detect chancges in the list of probes and keeping
track of what hooks have been invoked yet.
Remove the requirement to have probes on srcpads in push mode and sinkpads in
pull mode.
Add some more debug.
Keep track of what callbacks got executed. If no callback is called and we are a
blocking pad, let the item pass. This allows you to block pads on selected
items only.
Explicitly have an UPSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM PadProbeType. This allows you to only
block the pad on upstream or downstream items.
Add convenience macros to only block on downstream/upstream items.
Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
Remove gst_pad_get_negotiated_caps(), it does not realy do what it says,
gst_pad_get_current_caps() returns the currently negotiated caps on the pad
correctly.
Always forward all events in the default handler. Previously it used to not
forward caps events by default. It makes more sense to forward the caps events,
if the element is interested in the caps, it will implement an event handler to
retrieve the caps and then it can decide to forward or not. If the element has
no event handler, it probably just doesn't care about caps and it probably is
also not going to modify the data in a way that needs a caps change.
Rename gst_pad_dispatcher() to gst_pad_forward() and make it more useful by
iterating the internal links of a pad and handling resync properly.
Add a method gst_pad_event_forward() that unconditionally forwards an event to
all internally linked pads.
Update some pad code to use the new forward function.
Keep track of installed number of probes to shortcut emission.
Allow NULL callbacks, this is useful for blocking probes.
Improve probe selection based on the mask, an empty mask for the data or the
scheduling flags equals that all probes match.
Add some more debug info.
Don't check the flushing flag in the probe callback handler, this needs to be
done before calling the handler.
Fix blocking probes.
Fix unit tests
Make the PadBlock callback take a GstBlockType parameter to handle the different
kind of stages in the pad block. This provides for more backwards compatibility
in the pad block API.
Separate blocking and unblocking into different methods, only blocking can do a
callback, unblock is always immediately. Also removed synchronous blocking, it
can always be implemented with a callback.
