set_config() vmethod should fail gracefully, thus upstream could
negotiate another pool if possible.
Instead of sending error messages to the bus, let demote the level
to warning.
Instead of creating a new allocator when upstream requests a different
allocator, this patch tries to reuse the internal allocator if it was
already initializated.
If the stream changes, then either one will be unref and a new
allocator is created.
This mechanism comes from ffmpeg vaapi implementation, where they have
their own quirks.
A specific driver is identified by a substring present in the vendor
string. If that substring is found, a set of bitwise flags are store.
These flags can be accessed through the function
gst_vaapi_display_has_driver_quirks().
The purpose for this first quirks is to disable the put image try for
AMD Gallium driver (see [1]).

Validate if the meta returned by gst_buffer_get_vaapi_video_meta() in
the acquired buffer is not null.
This situation should be very "pathological", but still it is better
be safe since that meta might be used later to create a new dma
buffer.
gst_vaapi_video_buffer_pool_reset_buffer() is called when the sink
releases the last reference on an exported DMA buffer. This should
release the underlying surface proxy. To avoid releasing the wrong
surface due to a stale surface proxy reference in the buffer's
GstVaapiVideoMeta, always update the reference to the correct surface
in gst_vaapi_video_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer().
When baseline-as-constrained is set, the decoder will expose support
for baseline decoding and assume that the baseline content is
constrained-baseline. This can be handy to decode streams in hardware
that would otherwise not be possible to decode. A lot of baseline
content is in fact constrained.
And, if downstream requests a specific level, the caps are not
negotiated, because there is no mechanism right now to specify a
custom level in the internal encoder.
When the available caps doesn't intersect with the allowed caps in the
pipeline, a new caps is proposed rather than just expecting to
iterate.
Later, the intersected caps (profile_caps) is fixated in order to
extract the configuration.
FEI encoders are not actively mantained neither tested, and it is
using infrastructure that is changing and FEI is stopping this
effort.
Also it is required to rethink how FEI can be used in GStreamer.
Use the gst_video_aggregator_pad_has_current_buffer API
to check if the current sinkpad has a queued buffer before
attempting to obtain a input buffer from the base plugin.
If the sinkpad does not have a current buffer, then it is
either not producing them yet (e.g. current time < sinkpad
start time) or it has reached EOS.
Previously, we only handled EOS case.
Example:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 \
! vaapipostproc ! vaapioverlay name=overlay \
! vaapisink videotestsrc timestamp-offset=1000000000 \
num-buffers=100 ! video/x-raw,width=160,height=120 \
! overlay.
Recursive functions are elegant but dangerous since they might
overflow the stack. It is better to turn them into a list tranversal
if possible, as this case.
Instead of using a parent structure that has to be derived by API
consumers, this change propse a simplification by using the common
pattern of GTK of passing a function pointer and user data which will
be passed as its parameter. That user data contains the state and the
function will be called to update that state.
The current get_profile just return one possible profile for the encode,
which is not enough. For example, if we want to support HEVC 4:4:4
profile, the input of encode should be VYUA rather than NV12 in HEVC
main profile. So the command line:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! fakesink
can not work because vaapih265enc just report NV12 in sink caps, we need
to specify the profile obviously like:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! capsfilter caps=video/x-h265, \
profile=main-444 ! fakesink
The encode should have the ability to choose the profile based on input
format automatically. If the input video format is VUYA, the main-444
profile should be auto choosed.
We modify to let get_allowed_profiles of each encode sub class to return
an array of all supported profiles based on downstream's allowed caps, or
return NULL if no valid profiles specified by downstream.
If no allowed profiles found, all profiles which belong to the current
encoder's codec will be the candidates.
The function gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_attributes collects the surface's
attributes for that profile list we just get.
So for this case, both NV12 and VUYA should be returned.
TODO: some codec like VP9, need to implement the get_profile() function.
A plugin similar to the base compositor element but
uses VA-API VPP blend functions to accelerate the
overlay/compositing.
Simple example:
gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc ! vaapipostproc \
! tee name=testsrc ! queue \
! vaapioverlay sink_1::xpos=300 sink_1::alpha=0.75 \
name=overlay ! vaapisink testsrc. ! queue ! overlay.
We can get all the information about the video format at one shot
when we create the test context for getting the supported formats.
The current way to get the width and height ranges are inefficient,
since it calls the function gst_vaapi_profile_caps_append_encoder()
and it creates another temporal context to detect the resolution
information.

We now set encode->allowed_sinkpad_caps to NULL if we fail to get
surfaces formats. This causes two problem:
1. gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps use NULL as its caps parameter,
which changes its behavior. It will use encode's sinkpad template
rather than empty caps to do the clip job. So even if we fail to set
allowed_sinkpad_caps, gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps can still return
valid caps.
2. We should just set the allowed_sinkpad_caps once. The NULL point
make the ensure_allowed_sinkpad_caps function works again and again.
Don't reset the can_dmabuf field. This restores the
close/reset logic that existed prior to commit
ca2942176b in regards to
dmabuf support.
Plugins only call gst_vaapi_plugin_base_set_srcpad_can_dmabuf
once during startup, but may need to reset the other private
fields multiple times during negotiation. Thus, can_dmabuf
should be exempt from the resets.

GstVaapiMiniObject and GstVaapiObject are deprecated.
This is the first step to remove them by porting GstVaapiSurface as
a GstMiniBuffer descendant.

The base plugin public API function implementations determine
which pad should be passed to the internal helper functions.
Currently, only the base plugin static sinkpad and static
srcpad are supported/used. However, this change enables future
API functions to be added that can accept a pad (i.e. request pad)
from an element subclass (e.g. a GstVideoAggregator subclass).
Define a struct (GstVaapiPadPrivate) to encapsulate the
pad-specific data (i.e. buffer pool, allocator, info,
caps, etc.).
Add an interface to retrieve the data struct for a given
pad.
Finally, update the base plugin to use the data struct
throughout the implementation.
This will enable us to easily extend the base plugin in the
future to allow for N-to-1 pad subclasses (e.g. overlay/
composite).
We do not need to maintain a standalone list of decoder's output
template for raw formats and that is easy to make mistake(for
example, the AYVU is wrong in that list, should be VUYA).
Just use GST_VAAPI_FORMATS_ALL to replace the raw formats list for
src template.
We need to provide more precise template caps for postproc's src
and sink pads. The GST_VIDEO_FORMATS_ALL make all video formats
available which are really superfluous.
GST_VAAPI_FORMATS_ALL collects all declared formats in video-format
as a caps template string, and make them available in caps with
memory:VASurface feature.
Fixes: #199
When translating navigation x,y coordinates for
video-direction, it is necessary to subtract 1
when using the video dimensions to compute the
new x,y coordinates. That is, a 100x200 image
should map coordinates in x=[0-99],y=[0-199].
