Instead of using the information we stored ourselves for the video frame
itself. Which was also the wrong one: it was the mode from the property,
not the autodetected one.
This fixes vanc extraction with mode=auto
We don't support negotiation with downstream but simply set caps based
on the buffers we receive. This prevents renegotiation to other formats,
and negotiation to NTSC in mode=auto in the beginning until the first
buffer is received.
As side-effect of this, also remove various other caps handling code
that was working around the behaviour of the default
BaseSrc::negotiate().
Previously we would've reported that there is signal unless we know for
sure that we don't have signal. For example signal would've been
reported before the device is even opened.
Now keep track whether the signal state is unknown or not and report no
signal if we don't know yet. As before, only send an INFO message about
signal recovery if we actually had a signal loss before.
As a side-effect we can now actually store the line offset in the
line21dec element, and have to perform fewer transformations in the
decklink elements (which were also buggy as they assumed a single byte
triplet per meta).
Before this patch, if mode=auto and video-format!=auto, video-format would
always be ignored, and get set to 8bit-yuv, or if detected to be RGB444, then
it would be set to 8bit-argb. This change respects video-format if it is set
to 10bit-yuv (v210) or 8bit-bgra, even when mode=auto.
Closes#772
If the "output-cc" property is set to TRUE and there is CC present
in the VBI Ancillary Data, they will be extracted and set on the
outgoing buffer as GstVideoCaptionMeta.
Only CDP packets are supported.

When we receive a video or audio buffer, we calculate the next stream
time based on the current stream time + buffer duration. If the next
buffer's stream time is after that, we issue a warning.
This happens because the stream time incoming from Decklink should be
really constant and without gaps. If there is a gap, it means that
something went wrong, e.g. the internal buffer pool is empty (too many
buffers queued up downstream).

The "fields" flag is ignored because currently GStreamer doesn't support
having only top or only bottom fields inside a frame. The "drop frame"
flag is ignored because some occurrences have been spotted where it
wasn't set while it should have been. In practice, when we have 29.97 or
59.94 FPS, it's always drop-frame.

If we drop many frames at once, printing one message per video frame and
one per audio packet would cause a lot of disk IO. Just print a total at
the end.

HRESULT is unsigned long on Windows, but the Decklink headers define
it to 'int' on Linux. Confusingly, the defines that talk about the
possible return values for it use long constants. The easy fix would
be to change the linux/LinuxCOM.h header, but that's copied from the
decklink SDK.
Change the logging to always upcast to unsigned long while printing
HRESULT for consistency across platforms.

[and so on]
This is basically a frame counter provided by the driver and it's
advancing at the speed of the HDMI/SDI input. Having this available on
each buffer allows to know what constant-framerate-based timestamp each
frame is corresponding to and can be used e.g. to write out files
accordingly without having the local pipeline clock timestamps used.

This reverts commit 845832263b.
The commit broke cross-mingw CI:
https://ci.gstreamer.net/job/GStreamer-master/8659/console
It seems that cross-mingw on Autotools and native-mingw on Meson
disagree about the size of HRESULT. Revert for now till I can
investigate the Meson side of things some more.

First of all, all the HD and UHD modes should be top-field-first, as
also returned by the Decklink mode iterator API.
Then we should include the caps field "field-order" in the caps of the
source (not the sink due to negotiation problems with optional fields).
And finally we should set the TFF flag on interlaced buffers that are
top-field-first.
On some hardware the first few frames are bogus and not very useful.
Their timestamps are off, they have no timecodes, or there are spurious
black frames / no-signal frames. After a few frames this stabilizes
though.

Based on this we calculate the actual capture time, which should get us
rid of any capturing jitter by averaging it out.
Also add a output-stream-time property which forces the elements to
output the stream time directly instead of doing any conversion to the
pipeline clock. Use with care.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774850
The hardware timestamps have no relation to when frames were produced,
only when frames arrived somewhere in the hardware. Especially there is
no guarantee that audio and video will have the same hardware timestamps
although they belong together, and even more important: the rate with
which the hardware timestamps increase is completely unrelated to the
rate with which the frames are captured!
As such we can as well use the pipeline clock directly and stop doing
complicated calculations. Also as a side effect this allows now running
without any pipeline clock, by directly making use of the stream times
as reported by the driver.
