The goal of parsebin is to figure out which elements to link together in order
to provide elementary streams given any random input.
The problem is that deciding whether a given stream should still have more
elements plugged in or not was dependent on ... the presence of compatible
decoders (sic).
Instead of that, if we can't plug anymore elements on a given stream *and* it is
detected as being an elementary stream, expose it.

If sticky events are present on parsebin source pads, we propagate them to the
multiqueue source pads. Those will be propagated on the new urisourcebin source
pads like in the other code paths.
This ensures that STREAM_START event are present on new source pads. If CAPS
event are also present (not guaranteed), they will also be available.

These parameters are not actually `out` parameters but must
be allocated and zero-initialized by the calling function.
Marking them as `out caller-allocates` will cause memory
corruptions when calling these APIs from e.g., Python code.

If we have caps then we can only set exactly those caps, if we have no
caps yet then negotiating anything is not very meaningful because the
caps are defined by the application and not downstream.
Avoids, among other things, an unnecessary allocation query and spurious
useless caps being set before the first buffer.

This crept in several years ago sadly :(
The usage of accurate seeking should be reserved to use-cases where it is
essential that we seek to that position. This should not be the default.
There is a new option `--acurate-seeks/-a` to be able to force that.
Furthermore, if accurate seeks aren't required, a player should be using the
GST_SEEK_FLAG_KEY_UNIT flag to seek to the closest keyframe and provide the most
reactive experience.

Generating the source element is done when uridecodebin is doing the
READY to PAUSED state change, so it is reasonable to set the new source
element to that state.
This also allows detecting early failures with backing libraries or
hardware (checks done in NULL->READY).

We create a new context in `gst_gl_context_create_thread()` and then
activate it on the current thread. Thereafter we assume that the
current thread continues to be the active thread for that context and
call `gst_gl_context_fill_info()` which asserts that the current
thread is the active thread.
However, if at the same time a different thread calls
`send_message_async()`, it will call into
`gst_gl_window_cocoa_send_message_async()` which will schedule the
message to be invoked using GCD. That anonymous function will also
call `gst_gl_context_activate()`, which creates a race, which can lead
to:
```
gst_gl_context_fill_info: assertion 'context->priv->active_thread == g_thread_self ()' failed
```
Fix it by using `gst_gl_context_thread_add()` to invoke `fill_info()`
on the context.

The goal of the "global" group-id is to fix new inputs that do not come from the
same "source" as others. In order to ensure all "current" streams have the same
group-id we distribute the first valid group-id to all streams.
This commit fixes two issues with that:
* When inputs are unlinked they weren't always properly resetted (it would only
work if parsebin is used, which is no longer the default in
uridecodebin3/playbin3).
* When computing the global group-id, take into account unset
group-id (i.e. GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID).

As the path to the gir file is passed to hotdoc.generate_doc() and
not the build target itself, meson doesn't know about the dependency.
In turn, as the CI doesn't build everything before building the
documentation target, some gir files might not exist, for instance
in the case of gst-rtsp-server, causing the output documentation to
be empty.
The error occurred silently because hotdoc accepts wildcards for
*-sources arguments, thus it won't warn about a missing gir file as
it is legitimate for glob matching to resolve to nothing.

It might be possible to fulfill those but not with the first caps
structure. Instead of just fixating the first caps structure, check if
the preference can be fulfilled by any of the structures as the first
step.
Without this the following pipeline negotiates to mono after the
decoder because opusenc only has a single channel in its first caps
structure.

The number of expected pads was:
* Defaulting to 1
* Or being overriden by GST_MESSAGE_STREAMS_SELECTED

Using the "GstBin" flags to check if an adaptive demuxer is streams-aware isn't
a good idea since it prevents using elements which aren't bins.

Whenever the surface is resized before the stream is negotiated, we endup

Currently, when rtspsrc property add-reference-timestamp-metadata=true,
a downstream rtph264depay element will attach multiple copies of the
same GstReferenceTimestampMeta to the depayloaded media buffers. This
can have signficant performance impacts further downstream in a pipeline
like the following:
rtspsrc add-reference-timestamp-metadata=true ! rtph264depay ! h264parse ! ... ! rtph264pay ! ...
For example, if there are 10 packet buffers for a frame of RTP H.264
video, each of those packet buffers will contain the same reference
timestamp meta. The rtph264depay element will then attach all 10
metadata to the depayloaded frame. And then later when we payload the
frame buffer again for proxying, we now have 10 more buffers each with
10 instance of the same metadata. Allocating/deallocating 100+ instances
of metadata @ 30fps for multiple streams has a pretty large performance
impact.

The tile width in pixel is not always available. Notably for
8L128 10bit format, the tile is 8x128 bytes, and the pixel
format is fully packed. That means that the tile contains at
least 6 pixels per line, but it also hold some bits of the
pixel from the same line on the previous or next tile.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3424>
In current tile representation, only tiles with power of two
width and height in bytes are supported. This limitation
prevents adding more complex tiles formats.
In this patch, we deprecate tile_ws and tile_hs from GstVideoFormatInfo and
replace if with an array of GstVideoTileInfo. Each plane tiles are then
described with their pixels width/height, line stride and total size.
The helper gst_video_format_info_get_tile_sizes() that depends on the
deprecated API is also being removed. This can simply be removed as it wasn't
in any stable release yet.

This was the intention from the start, just took me a few years *cough* to
actually implement it properly.
Gapless is handled by re-using as much as possible the same decoders and sinks
if present, and only pre-rolling switching at the sources level (with buffering
if/when needed).
In order to enable "gapless" playback, the "next" uri should be set at any time
between the moment the `about-to-finish` signal is emitted and the moment the
current play item is done. Previously this could only be done with the signal
emission.
This new implementation also allows "Instantaneous URI switching". This allows a
much faster way of switching playback entries while re-using as many elements as
possible. To enable this set `instant-uri` property to TRUE, the default being
FALSE.

DecodebinInput (and their backing parsebin or identity) are no longer released
when the corresponding sinkpad is unlinked, but when it's released.
The parsebin element will be resetted:
* If incoming caps are incompatible (was the case before)
* Or when unlinking and it was previously pull-based
This opens the way to use decodebin3 with changing inputs (i.e. gapless)
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2784>
Introduce the option to have the streams be parsed with `parsebin` for
compatible sources (i.e. which are eligible for buffering in the same way as
before this commit).
By parsing the inputs directly, this allows more accurate buffering control:
* Instead of relying on potential bitrate information coming from somewhere
* and *without* being linked downstream
If `parse-streams` is activated and the stream is eligible for buffering, then a
`multiqueue` will be used on the output of `parsebin` in order to handle the
buffering.
API: `parse-streams`

If the incoming streams are already parsed, there is no need to add yet-another
parsebin to process it *IF* that stream is compatible with a decoder or the
decodebin3 output caps.
This only applies if all the following conditions are met:
* The incoming stream can *NOT* do pull-based scheduling
* The incoming stream provides a `GstStream` and `GstStreamCollection`
* The caps are compatible with either the decodebin3 output caps or a decoder
input
If all those conditions are met, a identity element is used instead of a
parsebin element and the same code paths are taken.

* Instead of creating temporary `PendingPad` structures, always create a
DecodebinInputStream for every pad of parsebin

sure that other parsebins from the same GstStreamCollection are unblocked
since they come from the same source

Make an explicit topology/tree of structures:
* ChildSrcPadInfo is created for each source element source pad
* ChildSrcPadInfo contains the chain of optional elements specific to that
pad (ex: typefind)
* A ChildSrcPadInfo links to one or more OutputSlot, which contain what is
specific to the output (i.e. optional buffering and ghostpad)
* No longer use GObject {set|get}_data() functions to store those structures and
instead make them explicit
* Pass those structures around explicitely in each function/callback
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2784>
The following problem could happen:
* Thread 1 : urisourcebin gets activated from READY->PAUSED
* Thread 2 : some element causes a pad to be added to urisourcebin , which gets
linked downstream, which decides to activate upstream to pull-based.
* That requires "activating" the pads from PUSH to NONE, and then from NONE to PULL
* Thread 1 : the base class state change handlers checks if all pads are
activated
The issue is that since going form PUSH to PULL requires going through NONE,
there is a window during which:
* Thread 1 : The pad was set to NONE (before being set to PULL)
* Thread 2 : The base class activates that pad (to PUSH)
* Thread 1 : The attempt to "activate" to PULL fails (silently or not)
This is very racy, so in order to avoid that, we make sure that we only add pads
once the transition from READY->PAUSED in the parent classes is done.
