Original commit message from CVS:
rewritten pipeline parsing lands. Have fun breaking it.
regressions:
- No support for filtered links. If anybody needs this, please contact me and I'll add it as fast as possible.
improvements:
- The pipeline building actually works as expected.
- syntax compatible nearly everywhere but more flexible
- better property parsing (you can now set enums by name or nick)
- uses locked_state to allow for delayed pads
- can connect video pipelines without the need for queues
- allows properties on bins
- does not return a bin, but an element.
You may want to read docs/random/company/gstparse to learn how it works.
Original commit message from CVS:
* new parser that uses flex and bison
- doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet...
* added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api
* added --gst-mask-help command line option
* fixed -o option for gst-launch
* GstElement api change:
- gst_element_get_pad
- gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad
- gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads
- gst_element_[dis]connect_elements -> gst_element_[dis]connect
* manual update
* example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes
- no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more
extensive doc system
Original commit message from CVS:
* form a semantic representation of the pipeline in preparation for
actual instantiation.
the parser is shaping up quite nicely; it should, in theory, be able to create
all types of pipelines that gstreamer supports
