The timestamp generator in gstvaapidecoder_mpeg2.c always interpolated
frame timestamps within a GOP, even when it's been fed input PTS for

That leads to incorrect output timestamps in some situations - for example
live playback where input timestamps have been scaled based on arrival time
from the network and don't exactly match the framerate.

When a DPB flush is required, e.g. at a natural and of stream or issued
explicitly through an IDR, try to detect any frame left in the DPB that
is interlaced but does not contain two decoded fields. In that case, mark
the picture as having a single field only.
This avoids a hang while decoding tv_cut.mkv.
Simplify the dpb_output() function to exclusively rely on the frame store
buffer to output, since this is now always provided. Besides, also fix
cases where split fields would not be displayed.
This is a regression from f48b1e0.
Cope with latest changes from codecparsers/h264. It is now required
to explicitly clear the GstH264PPS structure as it could contain
additional allocations (slice_group_ids).
Add new GstVaapiSurfaceProxy flag FFB, which means "first frame in
bundle", and really expresses the first view component of a multi
view coded frame. e.g. in H.264 MVC, the surface proxy has flag FFB
set if VOIdx = 0.
Likewise, new API is exposed to retrieve the associated "view-id".
Allow decoders to set the "one-field" attribute when the decoded frame
genuinely has a single field, or if the second field was mis-decoded but
we still want to display the first field.
Make sure to output the decoded picture, and push the associated
GstVideoCodecFrame, only once. The frame fully represents what needs
to be output, included for interlaced streams. Otherwise, the base
GstVideoDecoder class would release the frame twice.
Anyway, the general process is to output decoded frames only when
they are complete. By complete, we mean a full frame was decoded or
both fields of a frame were decoded.
Slightly optimize decoding process by submitting the current VA surface
for decoding earlier to the hardware, and perform the reference picture
marking process and DPB update process afterwards.
This is a minor optimization to let the video decode engine kick in work
earlier, thus improving parallel resources utilization.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams where a first field (e.g. B-slice)
was immediately output and the current decoded field is to be paired
with that former frame, which is no longer in DPB.

Optimize the process to detect new pictures or start of new access
units by checking if the previous NAL unit was the end of a picture,
or the end of the previous access unit.
Add support for MVC streams with multiple SPS and subset SPS headers
emitted regularly, e.g. at around every I-frame. Track the maximum
number of views in ensure_context() and really reset the DPB size to
the expected value, always. i.e. even if it decreased. dpb_reset()
only cares of ensuring the DPB allocation.
Fix the compaction process when the DPB is cleared for a specific
view, i.e. fix the process of filling in the holes resulting from
removing frame buffers matching the current picture.
It is not necessary to periodically send SPS or subset SPS headers.
This is up to the upper layer (e.g. transport layer) to decide on
if/how to periodically submit those. For now, only generate new SPS
or subset SPS headers when the codec config changed.
Note: the upper layer could readily determine the config headers
(SPS/PPS) through the gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_get_codec_data() function.

Set the value of num_anchor_refs_l0, num_anchor_refs_l1, num_non_anchor_refs_l0,

We can avoid scanning for start codes again if the bitstream is fed
in NALU chunks. Currently, we always scan for start codes, and keep

are likely receiving one GstBuffer per NAL unit. i.e. h264parse with

Factor out the removal process of unused inter-view only reference
pictures from the DPB, prior to the possible insertion of the current
picture.
Ideally, the compiler could still opt for generating two loops. But
at least, the code is now clearer for maintenance.
Improve process for the removal of pictures from DPB before possible
insertion of the current picture (C.4.4) for H.264 MVC inter-view only
reference components. In particular, handle cases where picture to be
inserted is not the last one of the access unit and if it was already
output and is no longer marked as used for reference, including for
decoding next view components within the same access unit.
While invoking the DPB bumping process in presence of many views,
it could be necessary to output previous pictures that are ready,
in a whole. i.e. emitting all view components from the very first
view order index zero to the very last one in its original access
unit; and not starting from the view order index of the picture
that caused the DPB bumping process to be invoked.
As a reminder, the maximum number of frames in DPB for MultiView
High profile with more than 2 views is not necessarily a multiple
of the number of views.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-4.264.
Let the utility layer handle dynamic growth of the inter-view pictures
array. By definition, setting a new size to the array will effectively
grow the array, but would also fill in the newly created elements with
empty entries (NULL), thus also increasing the reported length, which
is not correct.
When decoding Multiview High profile streams with a large number of
views, it is not possible to make the VAPictureParameterBufferH264.
ReferenceFrames[] array hold the complete DPB, with all possibly
active pictures to be used for inter-view prediction in the current
access unit.
So reduce the scope of the ReferenceFrames[] array to only include
the set of reference pictures that are going to be used for decoding
the current picture. Basically, this is a union of all RefPicListX[]
array, for all slices constituting the decoded picture.
The inter-view reference components and inter-view only reference
components that are included in the reference picture lists shall
be considered as not being marked as "used for short-term reference"
or "used for long-term reference". This means that reference flags
should all be removed from VAPictureH264.flags.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-2.264.
If the VA driver exposes ad-hoc H.264 MVC profiles, then we have to
be careful to detect profiles changes and not reset the underlying
VA context erroneously. In MVC situations, we could indeed get a
profile_idc change for every SPS that gets activated, alternatively
(base-view -> non-base view -> base-view, etc.).
An improved fix would be to characterize the exact profile to use
once and for all when SPS NAL units are parsed. This would also
allow for fallbacks to a base-view decoding only mode.
Exclusively use VA drivers that support raw packed headers for encoding.
i.e. simply submit packed headers Subset SPS and Prefix NAL units. This
provides for better compatibility accross the various VA drivers and HW
generations since no particular API is needed beyond what readily exists.
Since we are encoding each view independently from each other, we
need a higher number of pre-allocated surfaces to be used as the
reconstructed frames. For Stereo High profile encoding, this means
to effectively double the number of frames to be stored in the DPB.
Add initial support for Subset SPS, Prefix NAL and Slice Extension NAL
for non-base-view streams encoding, and the usual SPS, PPS and Slice
NALs for base-view encoding.
The H.264 Stereo High profile encoding mode will be turned on when the
"num-views" parameter is set to 2. The source (raw) YUV frames will be
considered as Left/Right view, alternatively.
Each of the two views has its own frames reordering pool and reference
frames list management system. Inter-view references are not supported
yet, so the views are encoded independently from each other.

- all MultiView High profile streams with 2 views at most can be decoded

- all drivers that support slice-level decoding could normally support
MVC profiles when the DPB holds at most 16 frames.
In order to have a stricter conforming implementation, we need to carefully

Factor out process by which the decoded picture with the lowest POC

Add gst_vaapi_display_get_vendor_string() helper function to query

That function is thread-safe. It could be used for debugging purposes,

Make sure to initialize one GstVaapiDisplay at a time, even in threaded
environments. This makes sure the display cache is also consistent
during the whole display creation process. In the former implementation,
there were risks that display cache got updated in another thread.
Add support for dynamic growth of the VA surfaces pool. For decoding,
this implies the recreation of the underlying VA context, as per the
requirement from VA-API. Besides, only increases are supported, not
shrinks.
It is a requirement from VA-API specification that the VA context got
from vaCreateContext(), for decoding purposes, binds the supplied set
of VA surfaces. This means that if the set of VA surfaces is to be
changed for the current decode session, then the VA context needs to
be recreated with the new set of VA surfaces.

At the time the first VCL NAL unit of a primary coded picture is found,
and if that NAL unit was parsed to be an SPS or PPS, then the entries

Refine the heuristic to determine the maximum size of a coded buffer

Automatically derive the minimum profile and level to be used for

Add encoder "tune" option to override the default behaviour that is to
favor maximum decoder compatibility at the expense of lower compression
ratios.
Expected tuning options to be developed are:
- "high-compression": improve compression, target best-in-class decoders;
- "low-latency": tune for low-latency decoding;
- "low-power": tune for encoding in low power / resources conditions.
Only expose the exact static set of supported rate-control properties
to the upper layer. For instance, if the GstVaapiEncoderXXX class does
only support CQP rate control, then only add it the the exposed enum
type.
Add helper macros and functions to build a GType for an enum subset.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_keyframe_period() interface to allow the
user control the maximum distance between two keyframes. This new
property can only be set prior to gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state().
A value of zero for "keyframe-period" gets it re-evaluated to the
actual framerate during encoder reconfiguration.
Improve codec reconfiguration to be performed only through a single
function. That is, remove the _set_context_info() hook as subclass
should not alter the parent GstVaapiContextInfo itself. Besides, the
VA context is constructed only at the final stages of reconfigure().
Add interface to communicate the encoder resolution and related info
like framerate, interlaced vs. progressive, etc. This new interface
supersedes gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() and doesn't use any GstCaps
but rather use GstVideoCodecState.
Note that gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state() is also a synchronization
point for codec config. This means that the encoder is reconfigured
there to match the latest properties.
Add interface to communicate configurable properties to the encoder.
This covers both the common ones (rate-control, bitrate), and the
codec specific properties.

returned.

Fix formts for various GST_DEBUG et al. invocations. More precisely,
make size_t arguments use the %zu format specifier accordingly; force
XID formats to be a 32-bit unsigned integer; and fix the format used

been using strings nowadays.
The following helper functions are no longer used, thus are removed:
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_structure()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_caps()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_to_caps()
Replace gst_vaapi_display_get_{decode,encode}_caps() APIs with more

returned GstCaps, with more convenient APIs that return an array of
GstVideoFormat: gst_vaapi_display_get_{image,subpicture}_formats().
Fix display creation code to check that any display obtained from a
neighbour actually has the type we expect. Note: if display type is
set to "any", we can then accept any VA display type.
The GLTextureUploadMeta implementation assumed that for each upload()
sequence, the supplied texture id is always the same as the one that

The previous fix was only valid to express the maximum size of the
macroblock layer, i.e. without any headers. Now, also account for
the slice headers and top picture header, but also any other header
we might stuff into the VA coded buffer, e.g. sequence headers.
Fix coded buffer size for each codec. A generic issue was that the
number of macroblocks was incorrectly computed. The second issue was
specific to MPEG-2 were the max number of bits per macroblock, and
as defined by the standard, was incorrectly mapped to the (lower)
H.264 requirement. i.e. 4608 bits vs. 3200 bits limit.
Change get_context_info() into a set_context_info() function that
initializes common defaults into the base class, thus allowing the
subclasses to specialize the context info further on.
The set_context_info() hook is also the location where additional

guaranteed to have valid video resolution size and framerate. i.e.
gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() was called beforehand.
Clean public APIs up so that to better align with the decoder APIs.
Most importantly, gst_vaapi_encoder_get_buffer() is changed to only
return the VA coded buffer proxy. Also provide useful documentation
for the public APIs.
Kill GstVaapiEncoderSyncPic objects that are internally and temporarily

Refactor the GstVaapiCodedBuffer APIs so that to more clearly separate

As a last resort, if video processing capabilities (VPP) are not available,
or they did not produce anything conclusive enough, then try to fallback to
the original rendering code path whereby the whole VA surface is rendered
as is, no matter of video cropping or deinterlacing requests.
Note: under those conditions, the visual outcome won't be correct but at
least, something gets displayed instead of bailing out.
Try to use VA/VPP processing capabilities to handle video cropping and
additional rendering flags that may not be directly supported by the
underlying hardware when exposing a suitable Wayland buffer for the
supplied VA surface. e.g. deinterlacing, different color primaries than
BT.601, etc.
Update the frame redraw infrastructure with a new FrameState stucture
holds all the necessary information used to display the next pending
surface.
While we are at it, delay the sync operation down to when it is actually
needed. That way, we keep performing additional tasks meanwhile.
Disable video cropping in MPEG-2 codec because it is partially implemented
and actually because nobody implements it that way, and the standard spec
does not specify the display process either anyway.
Most notably, there are two possible use cases for sequence_display_extension()
horizontal_display_size & vertical_display_size: (i) guesstimating the
pixel-aspect-ratio, or (ii) implement some kind of span & scan process
in conjunction with picture_display_extension() information.

otherwise for earlier GStreamer 0.10.x builds.
Add helper functions to describe GstVaapiPoint and GstVaapiRectangle
structures as a standard GType. This could be useful to have them
described as a GValue later on.
Don't expose GstVaapiContext APIs and make them totally private to
libgstvaapi core library. That API would also tend to disappear in

but keep symbols visible so that the various render backends could
share a common display cache implementation in libgstvaapi.
Try to clean-up the documentation from any stale entry too.
Don't expose functions that reference a GstVaapiImageRaw, those are
meant to be internal only for implementing subpictures sync. Also add
a few private definitions to avoid functions calls for retrieving
image size and format information.
Use hardware accelerated XRenderComposite() function, from the RENDER
extension, to blit a pixmap to screen. Besides, this can also support
cropping and scaling.
Implement the new render-to-pixmap API. The only supported pixmap format
that will work is xRGB, with native byte ordering. Others might work but
they were not tested.
Add API to transfer VA urfaces to native pixmaps. Also add an API to
render a native pixmap, for completeness. In general, rendering to
pixmap would only be useful to certain VA drivers and use cases on
X11 display servers. e.g. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap (TFP) handled
in an upper layer.
Mark dummy pictures as output already so that we don't try to submit
them to the upper layer since this is purely internal / temporary
picture for helping the decoder.
Once the picture was output, it is no longer necessary to keep an extra
reference to the underlying GstVideoCodecFrame. So, we can release it
earlier, and maybe subsequently release the associate surface proxy
earlier.
Fix new internal video format API, based on GstVideoFormat, to not
clobber with system symbols. So replace the gst_video_format_* prefix
with gst_vaapi_video_format_ prefix, even if the format type remains
GstVideoFormat.
Fix memory leak when processing interlaced pictures and that occurs
because the first field, represented as a GstVideoCodecFrame, never
gets released. i.e. when the picture is completed, this is generally
the case when the second field is successfully decoded, we need to
propagate the GstVideoCodecFrame of the first field to the original
GstVideoDecoder so that it could reclaim memory.
Otherwise, we keep accumulating the first fields into GstVideoDecoder
private frames list until the end-of-stream is reached. The frames
are eventually released there, but too late, i.e. too much memory
may have been consumed.

The queue of free objects to used was deallocated with g_queue_free_full().
However, this convenience function shall only be used if the original queue

g_queue_clear(), while iterating over all free objects to deallocate them.
Fix creation of surface pool objects to honour explicit pixel format
specification. If this operation is not supported, then fallback to
the older interface with chroma format.
If a VA surface was allocated with the chroma-format interface, try to
determine the underlying pixel format on gst_vaapi_surface_get_format(),

Make it possible to create VA surfaces with a specific pixel format.
This is a new capability brought in by VA-API >= 0.34.0. If that
capability is not built-in (e.g. using VA-API < 0.34.0), then
gst_vaapi_surface_new_with_format() will return NULL.
Add gst_video_format_get_chroma_type() helper function to determine
the GstVaapiChromaType from a standard GStreamer video format. It is
possible to reconstruct that from GstVideoFormatInfo but it is much
simpler (and faster?) to use the local GstVideoFormatMap table.
Add new chroma formats available with VA-API >= 0.34.0. In particular,
this includes "RGB" chroma formats, and more YUV subsampled formats.
Also add a new from_GstVaapiChromaType() helper function to convert
libgstvaapi chroma type to VA chroma format.
Make gst_vaapi_image_pool_new() succeed, and thus returning a valid
image pool object, only if the underlying VA display does support the
requested VA image format.
Get rid of GstCaps to create surface/image pool, and use GstVideoInfo

libgstvaapi more.
Add new video format mappings to VA image formats:
- YUV: packed YUV (YUY2, UYVY), grayscale (Y800) ;
- RGB: 32-bit RGB without alpha channel (XRGB, XBGR, RGBX, BGRX).

Make it possible associate an empty cropping rectangle to the surface
proxy, thus resetting any cropping rectangle that was previously set.
This allows for returning plain NULL when no cropping rectangle was
initially set up to the surface proxy, or if it was reset to defaults.
Add helper macros to retrieve the VA surface information like size
(width, height) or chroma type. This is a micro-optimization to avoid
useless function calls and NULL pointer re-checks in internal routines.
Add gst_vaapi_picture_set_crop_rect() helper function to copy the video
cropping information from raw bitstreams to each picture being decoded.
Also add helper function to surface proxy to propagate that information
outside of libgstvaapi. e.g. plug-in elements or standalone applications.

Break the circular references between GstVaapiContext and its children
GstVaapiSurfaces. Since the VA surfaces held an extra reference to the
context, which holds a reference to its VA surfaces, then none of those
were released.
How does this impact support for subpictures?
The only situation when the parent context needs to disappear is when
it is replaced with another one because of a resolution change in the
video stream for instance, or a normal destroy. In this case, it does
not really matter to apply subpictures to the peer surfaces since they
are either gone, or those that are left in the pipe can probably bear
a reinstantiation of the subpictures for it.
So, parent_context is set to NULL when the parent context is destroyed,
other VA surfaces can still get subpictures attached to them, individually
not as a whole. i.e. subpictures for surface S1 will be created from
active composition buffers and associated to S1, subpictures for S2 will
be created from the next active composition buffers, etc. We don't try
to cache the subpictures in those cases (pending surfaces until EOS
is reached, or pending surfaces until new surfaces matching new VA context
get to be used instead).
Make sure to create the GLX context once the window object has completed
its creation. Since gl_resize() relies on the newly created window size,
then we cannot simply overload the GstVaapiWindowClass::create() hook.
So, we just call into gst_vaapi_window_glx_ensure_context() once the
window object is created in the gst_vaapi_window_glx_new*() functions.
Make it possible to add extra an extra filter to most of display cache
lookup functions so that the GstVaapiDisplay instance can really match
a compatible and existing display by type, instead of relying on extra
string tags (e.g. "X11:" prefix, etc.).
Drop obsolete GST_VAAPI_IS_xxx() helper macros since we are no longer
deriving from GObject and so those were only checking for whether the
argument was NULL or not. This is now irrelevant, and even confusing
to some extent, because we no longer have type checking.
Note: this incurs more type checking (review) but the libgstvaapi is
rather small, so this is manageable.
Make GstVaapiID a gsize instead of guessing an underlying integer large
enough to hold all bits of a pointer. Also drop GST_VAAPI_ID_NONE since
this is plain zero and that it is no longer passed as varargs.
Port GstVaapiDecoder and GstVaapiDecoder{MPEG2,MPEG4,JPEG,H264,VC1} to
GstVaapiMiniObject. Add gst_vaapi_decoder_set_codec_state_changed_func()
helper function to let the user add a callback to a function triggered
whenever the codec state (e.g. caps) changes.
Port GstVaapiVideoPool, GstVaapiSurfacePool and GstVaapiImagePool to
GstVaapiMiniObject. Drop gst_vaapi_video_pool_get_caps() since it was
no longer used for a long time. Make object allocators static, i.e.
local to the shared library.
Drop support for user-defined data since this capability was not used
so far and GstVaapiMiniObject represents the smallest reference counted
object type. Add missing GST_VAAPI_MINI_OBJECT_CLASS() helper macro.
Besides, since GstVaapiMiniObject is a libgstvaapi internal object, it
is also possible to further simplify the layout of the object. i.e. merge
GstVaapiMiniObjectBase into GstVaapiMiniObject.
Propagate the picture size from the bitstream to the GstVaapiDecoder,
and subsequent user who installed a signal on notify::caps. This fixes
decoding of TS streams when the demuxer failed to extract the required
information.
Add gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame_with_timeout() helper function that will
wait for a frame to be decoded, until the specified timeout in microseconds,
prior to returning to the caller.
This is a fix to performance regression from 851cc0, whereby the vaapidecode
loop executed on the srcpad task was called to often, thus starving all CPU
resources.
Rework GstVideoDecoder::handle_frame() to decode the current frame,
while possibly waiting for a free surface, and separately submit all
decoded frames from a task. This makes it possible to pop and render
decoded frames as soon as possible.
Add support for interlaced streams with GStreamer 1.0 too. Basically,
this enables vaapipostproc, though it is not auto-plugged yet. We also
make sure to reply to CAPS queries, and happily handle CAPS events.
Fix support for interlaced contents with GStreamer 0.10. In particular,
propagate GstVaapiSurfaceProxy frame flags to GstVideoCodecFrame flags
correctly.
This is a regression from commit 87e5717.
Rename GstVaapiDecoderFrame to GstVaapiParserFrame because this data
structure was only useful to parsing and a proper GstvaapiDecoderFrame
instance will be created instead.
Fix regression from 0.4-branch whereby GstVaapiSurfaceProxy no longer
held any information about the expected presentation timestamp, frame
duration or additional flags like interlaced or top-field-first.
Use new GstVaapiSurfaceProxy internal helper functions to propagate the
necessary GstVideoCodecFrame flags to vaapidecode (GStreamer 0.10).
Also make GstVaapiDecoder push_frame() operate similarly to drop_frame().
i.e. increase the GstVideoCodecFrame reference count in push_frame rather
than gst_vaapi_picture_output().
Add more attributes for raw decoding modes, i.e. directly through the
libgstvaapi helper library. In particular, add presentation timestamp,
duration and a couple of flags (interlaced, TFF, RFF, one-field).
Ensure libgstvaapi-glx*.so builds against libdl since dlsym() is used
to resolve glXGetProcAddress() from GLX libraries. This fix builds on
Fedora 17.

Fix previous commit whereby gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() was
supposed to make GstVaapiDecoder own the return GstVideoCodecState
object. Only comment was updated, not the actual code.
Make gst_vaapi_decoder_get_codec_state() return the original codec state,
i.e. make the GstVaapiDecoder object own the return state so that callers
that want an extra reference to it would just gst_video_codec_state_ref()
it before usage. This aligns the behaviour with what we had before with
gst_vaapi_decoder_get_caps().
This is an ABI incompatible change, library major version was bumped from
previous release (0.5.2).
Fix the name of the plug-in element reported to gst-inspect-1.0. i.e. we
need an explicit definition for GStreamer >= 1.0 because the GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE
incorrectly uses #name for creating the plug-in name, instead of using macro
expansion (and let further expansion of macros) through e.g. G_STRINGIFY().
Fix make dist to allow build for either GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0. i.e. make
sure to include all source files in either case while generating source
tarballs.
Introduce a new configure option --with-gstreamer-api that determines
the desired GStreamer API to use. By default, GStreamer 1.0 is selected.
Also integrate more compatibility glue into gstcompat.h and plugins.
This integrates support for GStreamer API >= 1.0 only in the libgstvaapi
core decoding library. The changes are kept rather minimal here so that
the library retains as little dependency as possible on core GStreamer
functionality.

Drop the following functions that are now obsolete:
- gst_vaapi_context_get_surface()
- gst_vaapi_context_put_surface()
- gst_vaapi_context_find_surface_by_id()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_get_context()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_set_context()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_set_surface()
This is an API change.
Now that the surface pool is reference counted in the surface proxy wrapper,
we can safely ignore surface size checks in gst_vaapi_decoder_ensure_context().
Besides, this check is already performed in gst_vaapi_context_reset_full().
Introduce gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new_from_pool() to allocate a new surface
proxy from the context surface pool. This change also makes sure to retain
the parent surface pool in the proxy.
Besides, it was also totally useless to attach/detach parent context to
VA surface each time we acquire/release it. Since the whole context owns
all associated VA surfaces, we can mark this as such only once and for all.
Move GstVaapiVideoMeta from core libgstvaapi decoding library to the
actual plugin elements. That's only useful there. Also inline reference
counting code from GstVaapiMiniObject.
Make sure libgstvaapi core decoding library doesn't include un-needed
dependencies. So, move out GstVaapiVideoConverterGLX to plugins instead.
Besides, even if the vaapisink element is not used, we are bound to have
a correctly populated GstSurfaceBuffer from vaapidecode.
Also clean-up the file along the way.
In decode_codec_data(), force initialization of format to zero so that
we can catch up cases where codec-data has neither "format" nor "wmvversion"
fields, thus making it possible to gracefully fail in this case.
Add a new GstVaapiDecoder::decode_codec_data() hook to actually decode
codec-data in the decoder sub-class. Provide a common shared helper
function to do the actual work and delegating further to the sub-class.
Drop GstVaapiDecoderUnit buffer field (GstBuffer) since it's totally
useless nowadays as creating sub-buffers doesn't bring any value. It
actually means more memory allocations. We can't do without that in
JPEG and MPEG-4:2 decoders.
Use gst_element_class_set_static_metadata() from GStreamer 1.0, which
basically is the same as gst_element_class_set_details_simple() in
GStreamer 0.10 context.
Use newer gst_video_overlay_rectangle_get_pixels_unscaled_raw() helper
function with GStreamer 0.10 compatible semantics, or that tries to
approach the current meaning. Basically, this is also just about moving
the helper to gstcompat.h.
Generated source files were missing a dependency on the complete set of
generated header files. e.g. gstvideodecoder.c requires gstvideoutils.h
to build and almost every codec parser source depends on parserutils.h.

There shall be only one place to call decode_current_picture(), and this
is in the end_frame() hook. The EOS unit is processed after end_frame()
so this means we cannot have a valid picture to decode/output at this
point.
Improve robustness when some expected packets where not received yet
or that were not correctly decoded. For example, don't try to decode
a picture if there was no valid sequence or picture headers.
Fix gst_vaapi_decoder_get_surface() to only return frames with a valid
surface proxy, i.e. with a valid VA surface. This means that any frame
marked as decode-only is simply skipped.
If the decoder was not able to decode a frame because insufficient
information was available, e.g. missing sequence or picture header,
then allow the frame to be gracefully dropped without generating
any error.
It is also possible that a frame is not meant to be displayed but
only used as a reference, so dropping that frame is also a valid
operation since GstVideoDecoder base class has extra references to
that GstVideoCodecFrame that needs to be released.
The Wayland API is not fully thread-safe and client applications shall
perform locking themselves on key functions. Besides, make sure to
release the lock if the _render() function fails.
Introduce gst_vaapi_window_wayland_sync() helper function to wait for
the completion of the redraw request. Use it in _render() function to
actually block until the previous draw request is completed.
The redraw callback needs to be attached to the surface prior to the
commit. Otherwise, the callback notifies the next surface repaint,
which is not the desired behaviour. i.e. we want to be notified for
the surface we have just filled.
Another isse was the redraw_pending was reset before the actual completion
of the frame redraw callback function, thus causing concurrency issues.
e.g. the callback could have been called again, but with a NULL buffer.
When the Wayland display is shared, we still have to create our own local
shell and compositor objects, since they are not propagated from the cache.
Likewise, we also need to determine the display size or vaapisink would
fail to account for the display aspect ratio, and will try to create a 0x0
window.

Avoid usage of goto. Simplify decode_step() process to first accumulate all
pending buffers into the GstAdapter, and then parse and decode units from
that input adapter. Stop the process once a frame is fully decoded or an
error occurred.
Make sure we always have a free surface left to use for decoding the
current frame. This means that decode_step() has to return once a frame
gets decoded. If the current adapter contains more buffers with valid
frames, they will get parsed and decoded on subsequent iterations.
Keep only one DPB interface and rename gst_vaapi_dpb2_get_references()

Fix support for global-alpha subpictures. The previous changes brought
the ability to check for GstVideoOverlayRectangle changes by comparing
the underlying pixel buffer pointers. If sequence number and pixel data
did not change, then this is an indication that only the global-alpha
value changed. Now, try to update the underlying VA subpicture global-alpha
value.
Signed-off-by: Gwenole Beauchesne <gwenole.beauchesne@intel.com>
Don't re-upload VA subpicture if only the render rectangle changed.
Rather deassociate the subpicture and re-associate it with the new
render rectangle.
A GstVideoOverlayRectangle is created whenever the underlying pixels data
change. However, when global-alpha is supported, it is possible to re-use
the same GstVideoOverlayRectangle but with a change to the global-alpha
value. This process causes a change of sequence number, so we can no longer
check for that.
Still, if sequence numbers did not change, then there was no change in
global-alpha either. So, we need a way to compare the underlying GstBuffer
pointers. There is no API to retrieve the original pixels buffer from
a GstVideoOverlayRectangle. So, we use the following heuristics:
1. Use gst_video_overlay_rectangle_get_pixels_unscaled_argb() with the same
format flags from which the GstVideoOverlayRectangle was created. This
will work if there was no prior consumer of the GstVideoOverlayRectangle
with alternate (non-"native") format flags.
2. In overlay_rectangle_has_changed_pixels(), we have to use the same
gst_video_overlay_rectangle_get_pixels_unscaled_argb() function but
with flags that match the subpicture. This is needed to cope with
platforms that don't support global-alpha in HW, so the gst-video
layer takes care of that and fixes this up with a possibly new
GstBuffer, and hence pixels data (or) in-place by caching the current
global-alpha value applied. So we have to determine the rectangle
was previously used, based on what previous flags were used to
retrieve the ARGB pixels buffer.
We previously assumed that an overlay composition changed if the number
of overlay rectangles in there actually changed, or that the rectangle
was updated, and thus its seqnum was also updated.
Now, we can cope with cases where the GstVideoOverlayComposition grew
by one or a few more overlay rectangles, and the initial overlay rectangles
are kept as is.
Create the GPtrArray once in the _init() function and destroy it only
in the _finalize() function. Then use overlay_clear() to remove all
subpicture associations for intermediate updates, don't recreate the
GPtrArray.
Make GstVaapiOverlayRectangle a reference counted object. Also make
sure that overlay_rectangle_new() actually creates and associates the
VA subpicture.
Handle global-alpha from GstVideoOverlayComposition API. Likewise,
the same code path could also work for premultiplied-alpha but this

Use GPOINTER_TO_SIZE() instead of GPOINTER_TO_UINT() while manipulating
pointers. The latter is meant to be 32-bit only, not uintptr_t like size.
Only a gsize can hold all bits of a pointer.
Thanks to Ouping Zhang for spotting this error.
Heuristic: if the second start-code is available, check whether that
one marks the start of a new frame because e.g. this is a sequence
or picture header. This doesn't save much, since we already cache the
results.
Accelerate scan for start codes by skipping up to 3 bytes per iteration.
A start code prefix is defined by the following bytes: 00 00 01. Thus,
for any group of 3 bytes (xx yy zz), we have the following possible cases:
1. If zz != 1, this cannot be a start code, then skip 3 bytes;
2. If yy != 0, this cannot be a start code, then skip 2 bytes;
3. If xx != 0 or zz != 1, this cannot be a start code, then skip 1 byte;
4. xx == 00, yy == 00, zz == 1, we have match!
This algorithm requires to peek bytes from the adapter. This increases the
amount of bytes copied to a temporary buffer, but this process is much faster
than scanning for all the bytes and using shift/masks. So, overall, this is
a win.
Move parsing back to decoding step, but keep functions separate for now.
This is needed for future optimizations that may introduce some meta data
for parsed info attached to codec frames.
Optimize pre-allocation of decoder units, thus avoiding un-necessary
memory reallocations. The heuristic used is that we could have around
one slice unit per macroblock line.
Use a GArray to hold decoder units in a frame, instead of a single-linked
list. This makes 'append' calls faster, but not that much. At least, this
makes things clearer.
Allocate decoder unit earlier in the main parse() function and don't
delegate this task to derived classes. The ultimate purpose is to get
rid of dynamic allocation of decoder units.
The SPS, PPS and slice headers are not fully zero-initialized in the
codecparsers/ library. Rather, the standard upstream behaviour is to
initialize only certain syntax elements with some inferred values if
they are not present in the bitstream.
At the gstreamer-vaapi decoder level, we need to further initialize
certain syntax elements with some sensible default values so that to
not complicate VA drivers that just pass those verbatim to the HW,
and also avoid an memset() of the whole decoder unit.

Make GstVaapiVideoBuffer a simple wrapper for video meta. This buffer is
no longer necessary but for compatibility with GStreamer 0.10 APIs or users
expecting a GstSurfaceBuffer like Clutter.
Use PTS value computed by the decoder, which could also be derived from
the GstVideoCodecFrame PTS. This makes it possible to fix up the PTS if
the original one was miscomputed or only represented a DTS instead.
Create a new VA context if the encoded surface size changes because we
need to keep the underlying surface pool until the last one was released.
Otherwise, either of the following cases could have happened: (i) release
a VA surface to an inexistent pool, or (ii) release VA surface to an
existing surface pool, but with different size.
Avoid creating a GstBuffer for slice data. Rather, directly use the codec
frame input buffer data. This is possible because the codec frame is valid
until end_frame() where we submit the VA buffers for decoding. Anyway, the
slice data buffer is copied into the VA buffer when it is created.
Implement GstVaapiDecoder.start_frame() and end_frame() semantics so
that to create new VA context earlier and submit VA pictures to the
HW for decoding as soon as possible. i.e. don't wait for the next
frame to start decoding the previous one.
Parse slice() header and first macroblock position earlier in _parse()
function instead of waiting for the _decode() stage. This doesn't change
anything but readability.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitMpeg2 object, which holds the standard
GstMpegVideoPacket and additional parsed header info. Besides, we now
parse as early as in the _parse() function so that to avoid un-necessary
creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for video packets that are not slices.
Theory of operations: all units marked as "slice" are moved to the "units"
list. Since this list only contains slice data units, the prev_slice pointer
was removed. Besides, we now maintain two extra lists of units to be decoded
before or after slice data units.
In particular, all units in the "pre_units" list will be decoded before
GstVaapiDecoder::start_frame() is called and units in the "post_units"
list will be decoded after GstVaapiDecoder::end_frame() is called.
Make GstVaapiSurfaceProxy only a thin wrapper around a VA context and a
VA surface. i.e. drop any other attribute like timestamp, duration,
interlaced or top-field-first.
Maintain decoded surfaces as GstVideoCodecFrame objects instead of
GstVaapiSurfaceProxy objects. The latter will tend to be reduced to
the strict minimum: a context and a surface.
Add new gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame() function meant to be used with
gst_vaapi_decoder_decode(). The purpose is to return the next decoded
frame as a GstVideoCodecFrame and the associated GstVaapiSurfaceProxy
as the user-data object.
Decoder units were zero-initialized, including the SPS/PPS/slice headers.
The latter don't require zero-initialization since the codecparsers/ lib
will do so for key variables already. This is not a great value per se but
at least it makes it possible to check whether the default initialization
decisions made in the codecparsers/ lib were right or not.
This can be reverted if this exposes too many issues.
Drop explicit initialization of most fields that are implicitly set to
zero. Drop helper macros for casting to GstVaapiPictureH264 or
GstVaapiFrameStore. Also remove some useless checks for NULL pointers.
Implement GstVaapiDecoder.start_frame() and end_frame() semantics so
that to create new VA context earlier and submit VA pictures to the
HW for decoding as soon as possible. i.e. don't wait for the next
frame to start decoding the previous one.
Introduce new GstVaapiDecoderUnitH264 object, which holds the standard
NAL unit header (GstH264NalUnit) and additional parsed header info.
Besides, we now parse headers as early as in the _parse() function so
that to avoid un-necessary creation of sub-buffers in _decode() for
NAL units that are not slices.
This is a performance win by ~+1.1% only.
