Camerabin2 uses state changes to force the source to renegotiate its
caps to the capture formats. The state changes makes the source lose
its clock and base_time, causing it to stop timestamping the buffers.
We still need a proper way to make sources renegotiate its caps, so this
patch is a hack to make the source continue timestamping buffers even
after changing state. The patch works by getting the clock and base
time before doing the state change to NULL and setting them back
after putting it to PLAYING again. It also cares to drop the first
new segment after this state change.
When going to ready, camerabin2 could create an empty file
if the videosink was put to ready. This patch only puts videosink
to ready on the PAUSED_TO_READY state change if it is on PAUSED
or PLAYING.
Implement previewing functionality using 2 properties. A boolean
(post-previews) that indicates if previews should be posted, and a
GstCaps (preview-caps) to provide the desired preview caps.
wrappercamerabinsrc implements previewing by supplying the captured
image to a pipeline to adapt it to the required caps before posting.
Use a hack to make the event upstream to reach the camera source
instead of going downstream and being useless.
This was already fixed this way for image srcpad renegotiate and
video srcpad was left unfixed.
Instead of linking 3 src pads from tee to the ghostpads, use 2
srcpads and add an output-selector to completely split caps
negotiation of video/image modes. I don't think there is an
use case that would require image and video pads to be used
at the same time.
Adds a custom renegotiate event that is pushed to the camerasrc pad
that needs renegotiation due to the user selecting a new capture
caps for that pad.
This is a way of notifying the source that it should update its caps, even
if it doesn't use pad allocs.
Use better name for the variables, making the code clearer. Also
keep a ref for some internal elements to avoid fetching them
by name when needed later.
We need to reset the elements from the video recording branch, including
the queue and capsfilter in order to clear the eos state and activate
the pads.
This makes it possible to record multiple videos with camerabin2 in a
sequence, otherwise the source would get a unexpected return and
push EOS, stopping the whole pipeline.
As video recording bin's state is locked, we should always
remember of setting it to NULL when camerabin2 goes to NULL
Be more careful when using elements that might not
have been created yet
And do not set location property recursively on videorecordingbin
Adds a location property to enable applications to select
the captured files names. Locations are handled just like
multifilesink ones
Also disables -Wformat-nonliteral to allow to use non-literals
on g_strdup_printf on camerabin and generate a sequence of
locations for captures.
Keep vidbin state locked to avoid it going to playing without
being used and leaving an empty file created.
Check the docs on the code for details on the handling.
Adds property that informs if v4l2camerasrc is available
for starting a new capture.
It is useful for applications to know (via deep-notify) when the
property changes and a new capture is possible. Note, however, that
starting a new capture from the notify callback will cause a deadlock.
Removes the old logic for v4l2camerasrc that used the mode
property switching to start/stop captures to make it identical
to camerabin2 behavior and to allow the future addition of
pausing a video recording.
This also removes the MODE_PREVIEW as it became useless.
Implements video capture on v4l2camerasrc by using the mode property,
when mode is set to video, the pad probe pushes a new segment
and starts pushing buffers on the pad, when it the property is
sent back to preview, the pad probe pushes an EOS and stops
pushing buffers.
This is controlled by a Recording State variable, that is protected
by the GST_OBJECT_LOCK. I don't think locking for every buffer is
nice, so we could find an alternative lockless way here.
Use 'mode' enum definition from gstcamerabin-enum file to avoid
conflicts between v4l2camerasrc and gstcamerabin2 modes.
For now there is a MODE_PREVIEW there that is only used on the
camerasrc, not sure if we are keeping it at the future, but for
now this works.
Adds mode property to camerabin2, allowing users to
select between video and stills capture. Also adds
start/stop capture actions to trigger and stop
capturing
Adds an bin that is responsible for encoding and saving video
streams to files.
For now it is simply a ffmpegcolorspace ! theoraenc ! oggmux !
filesink bin.
Still uncapable of recording audio.
Adds viewfinder bin element, one of the modules of camerabin2
that is responsible for displaying the video from the camera.
For now it is only a bin with ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale !
autovideosink
