Some cameras (IDS) have broken DirectShow drivers which incorrectly fill some

Currently, we use AHC*_CALL macros to call many of the Camera functions.
However, we already have helper classes to call the Camera functions, so

As a nice side-benefit, we also get improved error handling and

GError gets populated, and we log a GST_ERROR when something fails. This
was harder to do using macros, as all error handling was hidden from the
caller.

CPU waits are more expensive and are only required if the CPU is ever going to
access the data. GPU waits perform inter-context synchronisation and are cheaper
as they don't require CPU intervention.
When we are not waiting, we need to pass -1 to signal that we just want to check
that the frame was/n't rendered. Avoids waiting for frames that will never be

Currently it was wrongly reporting min/max as being the shortest and
longest possible frame duration. This is not how latency works in
GStreamer.
Fix by reporting min latency as being the longest possible duration of

simply assume that max latency is the same (the usual default behaviour).

This commit is a part of portng android hardware camera from 0.10 implementation.
To preserve history and get diff clearly, the interesting files are moved to
deployment directory and the remaining files are removed.
Moved the java wrapper API into its own files and made use of the
gst-dvm macros. Also renamed the API to have the proper naming
convention and coding style in order to match the one in androidcamera.
This is a work in progress! "android/media/MediaCodecList" is still missing
and the actual elements have not been ported to use the new function names.
The on_preview callback gets called with NULL if the buffer in the queue is
too small, so we need to handle the case where the array is NULL. Also
there is a bug in the android source which makes it drop one of the buffers
so if we had 5 buffers, and we renegotiate to a higher resolution, then we'd
only get 4 calls to on_preview_frame with NULL, with one being dropped.
This means we can't reallocate the buffers in the if (data == NULL) case
because we might end up with 0 buffers in the end.
Implement a new memory type wrapping CVPixelBuffer.
There are two immediate advantages:
a) Make the GstMemory itself retain the CVPixelBuffer. Previously,
the containing GstBuffer was solely responsible for the lifetime of
the backing CVPixelBuffer.
With this change, we remove the GST_MEMORY_FLAG_NO_SHARE so that
GstMemory objects be referenced by multiple GstBuffers (doing away
with the need to copy.)
b) Delay locking CVPixelBuffer into CPU memory until it's actually
mapped -- possibly never.
The CVPixelBuffer object is shared among references, shares and
(in planar formats) planes, so a wrapper GstAppleCoreVideoPixelBuffer
structure was introduced to manage locking.

When doing GLMemory avfvideosrc negotiates UYVY. This change allows avfvideosrc
! tee name=t ! ... ! glimagesink t. ! ... ! gldownload ! vtenc_h264 ! ...
to do GLMemory and 0-copy with the encoder (with the CV meta).
Change texture format from BGRA to NV12. This allows a pipeline like avfvideosrc
! tee name=t ! ... ! glimagesink t. ! ... ! gldownload ! vtenc_h264 ! ... to
negotiate GLMemory. This makes the glimagesink branch much faster (obviously)
and triggers the 0-copy path between avfvideosrc and vtenc (using the CV meta).
Combined this results in a huge perf improvement on iOS (25-30% of CPU time in a
pipeline like the one above).
Note that this doesn't introduce a new shader conversion in the sink, since BGRA
textures had to be copied/converted from format=BGRA,texture-target=RECTANGLE to
format=RGBA,texture-target=2D anyway.
Fixate to the highest possible resolution and fps. Otherwise by default we end
up fixating at 2fps and the lowest supported resolution, which is hardly what
someone who bought an overpriced smartphone wants.
We need a static lock to protect various NVENC methods in _set_format(). Without
this the CPU use increases dramatically on initialisation of the element when
there are multiple elements being initialised at the same time.

When the mode of decklinkvideosink is set to "auto", the sink claims to
support the full set of caps that it can support for all modes. Then, every
time new caps are set, the sink will automatically find the correct mode for
these caps and set it.
Caveat: We have no way to know whether a specific mode will actually work for
your hardware. Therefore, if you try sending 4K video to a 1080 screen, it
will silently fail, we have no way to know that in advance. Manually setting
that mode at least gave the user a way to double-check what they are doing.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758694
Some devices only ever keep one buffer available in the GL queue resulting in
multiple calls to release_output_buffer only causing one frame to be rendered.
If there is a queue after amcvideodec (even playsink's small one), then
multiple buffers are pushed but only a small fraction of them are actually
rendered on time. The rest will either render some number of frames ahead of
where they are meant to be or timeout waiting for a frame that's already been
rendered.
Solved by moving the release_output_buffer into the sync_meta the is pushed
downstream. When downstream renders, the custom sync implementation attempts
to release the current buffer (if not already released) and render. Once the
frame has been rendered to the screen, the next frame is released and is
hopefully available by the time the next frame is to be rendered.
This fixes a perceived frame jitter in the output.
Year 12: I still don't understand how negotiation works.
Apparently gst_pad_query_caps doesn't do what I thought it did. To get the
actual caps that can flow through vtdec:src we must call gst_pad_peer_query_caps
with the template caps as filter.
Fixes negotiation with stuff that doesn't understand GLMemory (hello videoscale).
This provides a performance and power usage improvement by removing
the texture copy from an OES texture to 2D texture.
The flow is as follows
1. Generate the output buffer with the required sync meta with the incrementing
push counter and OES GL memory
1.1 release_output_buffer (buf, render=true) and push downstream
2. Downstream waits for on the sync meta (timed wait) or drops the frame (no wait)
2.1 Timed wait for the frame number to reach the number of frame callbacks fired
2.2 Unconditionally update the image when the wait completes (success or fail).
Sets the affine transformation matrix meta on the buffer.
3. Downstream renders as usual.
At *some* point through this the on_frame_callback may or may not fire. If it
does fire, we can finish waiting early and render. Otherwise we have to
wait for a timeout to occur which may cause more buffers to be pused into the
internal GL queue which siginificantly decreases the chances of the
on_frame_callback to fire again. This is because the frame callback only occurs
when the internal GL queue changes state from empty to non-empty.
Because there is no way to reliably correlate between the number of buffers
pushed and the number of frame callbacks received, there are a number of
workarounds in place.
1. We self-increment the ready counter when it falls behind the push counter
2. Time based waits as the frame callback may not be fired for a certain frame.
3. It is assumed that the device can render at speed or performs some QoS of
the interal GL queue (which may not match the GStreamer QoS).
It holds that we call SurfaceTexture::updateTexImage for each buffer pushed
downstream however there's no guarentee that updateTexImage will result in
the exact next frame (it could skip or duplicate) so synchronization is not
guaranteed to be accurate although it seems to be close enough to be unable
to discern visually. This has not changed from before this patch. The current
requirement for synchronization is that updateTexImage is called at the point in
time when the buffers is to be rendered.

Rework negotiation implementing GstVideoDecoder::negotiate. Make it possible to
switch texture sharing on and off at runtime. Useful to (eventually) turn
texture sharing on in pipelines where glimagesink is linked only after
decoding has already started (for example OWR).
Improve decode error handling by avoiding calling into GstVideoDecoder from the
VT decode callback. This removes contention on the GST_VIDEO_DECODER_STREAM_LOCK
which used to make the decode callback slow enough for VT to start dropping lots
of frames once the first frame was dropped.
Otherwise, gst_vtenc_negotiate_profile_and_level will double-release as
it checks for profile_level != NULL. This caused crashes when the
vtenc instance is stopped and then restarted.

CMBlockBuffer offers a model similar to GstBuffer, as it can
consist of multiple non-consecutive memory blocks.
Prior to this change, what we were doing was:
1) Incorrect:
CMBlockBufferCreateWithMemoryBlock does not copy the data,
but we gst_buffer_unmap'd right away.
2) Inefficient:
If the GstBuffer consisted of non-contiguous memory blocks,
gst_buffer_map resulted in malloc / memcpy.
With this change, we construct a CMBlockBuffer out of individual mapped
GstMemory objects. CMBlockBuffer is made to retain the GstMemory
objects (through the use of CMBlockBufferCustomBlockSource), so the

In JNI_OnLoad() we will already get the Java VM passed and could
just directly use that. gstreamer_android-1.0.c will now provide
this to us.
Reason for this is that apparently not all Android system are
providing the JNI functions to get the currently running Java VMs, so
we would fail to get. With this we will always be able to get the Java
VM on such systems.
We only need that if no Java VM is running yet, and all usual cases,
i.e. when calling GStreamer from an actual Android app, there will already
be a Java VM we can just use.
It seems like some phones come without that symbol, let's hope they come
with the other symbol but for now don't make a missing JNI_CreateJavaVM fatal.
This allows us to signal what kind of audio we are expecting to record,
which should tell the system to apply filters (such as echo
cancellation, noise suppression, etc.) if required.
Even when we fail to encode frame, we should still enqueue it so
it could be passed into handle_frame (with output_buffer == NULL).
Otherwise, we risk GstVideoEncoder's queue of frames growing unbounded.
Note: We're slightly changing the renegotiation code to accommodate for
frames without output buffers, but this commit takes no ownership over
the way negotiation is being done.

OMX.Exynos. codecs are existing on some devices like the

has other codecs that work with a different name, but let's
just give them marginal rank in case there are devices that
have no other codecs and these are actually the only working
ones
On some devices there are codecs that don't start with OMX., while
there are also some that do. And on some of these devices the ones
that don't start with OMX. just crash during initialization while
the others work. To make things even more complicated other devices
have codecs with the same name that work and no alternatives.
So just give a lower rank to these non-OMX codecs and hope that
there's an alternative with a higher rank.
Also stagefright gives codecs starting with OMX. a higher rank too and

It is incorrect to modify the frame properties after passing them, since

while having the default vtdec at secondary rank. This allows decodebin/playbin
to prefer the hardware based decoders, and if that fails to initialize because
hardware resources are busy to fall back to e.g. the libav based h264 decoder
instead of the software based vtdec (which is slower), and only fall back to
the software based vtdec if there is no higher ranked decoder available.
Using requestMediaDataWhenReadyOnQueue the layer will execute a block
when it would like more frames. Using this we can provide the current
frame and avoid needlessly filling the layer's buffer queue causing
older frames to be displayed when under resource pressure.
Otherwise we might set bogus values or GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.
Also make sure to reset the caps field to NULL after unreffing
the caps to prevent accidential use afterwards, and unref any
old caps before we remember new caps.
Otherwise we will still have a reference to the surface left, which would
prevent activating the sink again later. E.g. after we lost the device.

The driver has an internal buffer of unspecified and unconfigurable size, and
it will pull data from our ring buffer as fast as it can until that is full.
Unfortunately that means that we pull silence from the ringbuffer unless its
size is by conincidence larger than the driver's internal ringbuffer.
The good news is that it's not required to completely fill the buffer for
proper playback. So we now throttle reading from the ringbuffer whenever
the driver has buffered more than half of our ringbuffer size by waiting
on the clock for the amount of time until it has buffered less than that
again.
The ringbuffer's acquire() is too early, and ringbuffer's start() will only be
called after the clock has advanced a bit... which it won't unless we start
scheduled playback.
Not from the decklink clock. Both will return exactly the same time once the
decklink clock got slaved to the pipeline clock and received the first
observation, but until then it will return bogus values. But as both return
exactly the same values, we can as well use the pipeline clock directly.
There is no reason to pre-roll more buffers here as we have our own ringbuffer
with more segments around it, and we can immediately provide more buffers to
OpenSL ES when it requests that from the callback.
Pre-rolling a single buffer before starting is necessary though, as otherwise
we will only output silence.
Lowers latency a bit, depending on latency-time and buffer-time settings.
4 is the "typical" number of buffers defined by Android's OpenSL ES
implementation, and its code is optimized for this. Also because we
have our own ringbuffer around this, we will always have enough
buffering on our side already.
Allows for more efficient processing.
The pseudo buffer pool code was using gst_buffer_is_writable()
alone to try and figure-out if cached buffer could be reused.
It needs to check for memory writability too. Also check map
result and fix map flags.

Use YUV instead of RGB textures, then convert using the new apple specific
shader in GstGLColorConvert. Also use GLMemory directly instead of using the
GL upload meta, avoiding an extra texture copy we used to have before.
When doing texture sharing we don't need to call CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress to
map the buffer in CPU. This cuts about 10% relative cpu time from a vtdec !
glimagesink pipeline.
Otherwise we might start the scheduled playback before the audio or video streams are
actually enabled, and then error out later because they are enabled to late.
We enable the streams when getting the caps, which might be *after* we were
set to PLAYING state.

This API has been deprecated for eternities and microsoft
stopped shipping the headers in 2010 accoding to wikipedia,
so let's just remove it and focus on bringing the plugins
based on the newer APIs up to snuff.
This fixes handling of flushing seeks, where we will get a PAUSED->PLAYING
state transition after the previous one without actually going to PAUSED
first.
Otherwise we will overflow the internal buffer of the hardware
with useless frames and run into an error. This is necessary until
this bug in basesink is fixed:

decklinkvideosink might be added later to the pipeline, or its state might
be handled separately from the pipeline. In which case the running time when
we (last) went into PLAYING state will be different from the pipeline's.
However we need our own start time to tell the Decklink API, which running
time should be displayed at the moment we go to PLAYING and start scheduled
rendering.
