Blocking in change_state() is a recipe for disaster, even more so if
we wait for another thread that also calls into various element API and
could then lead to deadlocks on e.g. the state lock.
Apart from the obvious drawbacks of hardcoding, the drawback here was
that, if we subtracted 2 frames (instead of 2.6) from the target running
time, we'd request the next keyframe a bit too far into the future,
which would make our files split at the wrong position.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797293
For drop-frame framerates, when the expected next max timecode wraps
around at the end of the day, we have to subtract the offset of the
daily jam, otherwise we end up with a duration that's a few frames too
long.

The behaviour of split-now is to output the current GOP after
starting a new file.
The newly-added split-after signal will output the current GOP
to the old file if possible once a new GOP is opened.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796982
The stream context was holding a reference to the
internal queue and pads, with pad probes that were
in turn holding references to the stream context.
This lead to a leak if the request pads weren't explicitly
released.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796893
When handling input with timestamps that repeat, sometimes
splitmuxsink would get confused and ignore a keyframe.
The logic in question is a holdover from before the cmd queue
moved the file cutting to the multiqueue output side and made
it deterministic, so it's no longer needed on the input
here.

This reverts commit 3ac5430311.
There's no need to make a freshly created event writable,
and the other half of this patch was already fixed
and pushed in f2f15a1
This mode is useful for muxers that can take a long time to finalize a
file. Instead of blocking the whole upstream pipeline while the muxer is
doing its stuff, we can unlink it and spawn a new muxer+sink combination
to continue running normally.
This requires us to receive the muxer and sink (if needed) as factories,
optionally accompanied by their respective properties structures. Also
added the muxer-added and sink-added signals, in case custom code has to
be called for them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783754
It can happen during teardown that the reference context becomes NULL.
In that case, trying to send the fragment-opened-closed message would
lead to a crash.
With this the muxer is not set to NULL after each segment but instead
only flush events are sent to it to reset the EOS state.
As a result, the muxer will keep stream state and e.g. mpegtsmux will
keep the packet continuity counter continuous between segments as needed
by hlssink2.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794816
76e458a119 changed the conditions from
"queued > threshold" to "queued >= threshold", which broke hlssink2 and
resulting in too small fragments being created although keyframes would
be at *exactly* the configured threshold.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794440
If codec_data is changed, the stream is no longer valid.
Rather than keeping running when refusing new caps,
this patch send a warning to the bus.
Also fix up splitmuxsink to ignore this warning while changing caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790000
We would accidentally pass through the duration value from the
demuxer from a single fragment, which causes problems when
feeding the stream from splitmuxsrc to rtsp-server. Streaming
would stop after one fragment due to that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792861
total_duration is initialised to CLOCK_TIME_NONE, not 0, so check
for that as well in order not to return an invalid duration to
a duration query. Doesn't fix anything particular observed in
practice, just seemed inconsistent.
With this patch we can now provide a set of files
created by multifilesink as a source for uri elements.
e.g. gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=multifile://img%25d.ppm
Note that for the %d pattern you need to replace % with %25.
This is to be compliant with URL naming standards.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783581
If the use-robust-muxing property is set, check if the
assigned muxer has reserved-max-duration and
reserved-duration-remaining properties, and if so set
the configured maximum duration to the reserved-max-duration
property, and monitor the remaining space to start
a new file if the reserved header space is about to run out -
even though it never ought to.
Switching to a new fragment because the input caps have
changed didn't properly end the previous file. Use the normal
EOS sequence to ensure that happens. Add a test that it works.
Returning FALSE because we drop an event means that
internal sources like qtdemux might throw an error
and break the whole pipeline. The only time it can
happen is either flushing or shutdown, and those
will be handled anyway.
They can cause us to deadlock, while we're waiting for a new frame and
upstream is waiting for the allocation query to be answered before
sending a frame
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=783753
Since the move from CVS the property name of the documentation example
has been filename instead of location. Users trying the gst-launch
command as is will get:
no property name "filename" in element
Fixing it.
If a non-reference stream is behind the reference stream by an amount of
time smaller than the alignment threshold (in nsec), it counts as being
after it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782563
... unless the muxer uses the same audio pad template name as
splitmuxsink. We can't request a pad called "audio_0" on a muxer that
wants pads to be "sink_%d".
Fix the check for whether the start time of the segment has
been reached when playing in reverse. Otherwise, playback
stops after reaching the start of any file part, instead of
continuing until all parts within the segment have played
A sparse stream's ending timestamp can be considerably smaller
than the ending timestamps of the other streams, which can lead
to skipping considerable time from the next part.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761086
Used signed calculations when measuring the max_ts of an input
fragment, so as to calculate the correct duration and offset
when buffers have timestamps preceding their segment
Majorly change the way that splitmuxsink collects
incoming data and sends it to the output, so that it
makes all decisions about when / where to split files
on the input side.
Use separate queues for each stream, so they can be
grown individually and kept as small as possible.
This removes raciness I observed where sometimes
some data would end up put in a different output file
over multiple runs with the same input.
Also fixes hangs with input queues getting full
and causing muxing to stall out.
Add a new signal for formatting the filename, which receives
a GstSample containing the first buffer from the reference
stream that will be muxed into that file.
Useful for creating filenames that are based on the
running time or other attributes of the buffer.
To make it work, opening of files and setting filenames is
now deferred until there is some data to write to it,
which also requires some changes to how async state changes
and gap events are handled.
Make sure the state of the parser is set to
collecting streams before chaining up to the
parent change_state() method, to close a
small window that can cause playback to
never commence.
Use GQueue instead of a GSList so we don't have to traverse
the whole list to append something every time. And it also
keeps track of the number of items in it for us.
Add a function to add filenames to the list of old files and
use it in more places, so that memory doesn't build up in
other modes either if no max_files limit is specified.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766991
Technically we weren't leaking the memory, just storing it internally
and never using it until the element is freed. But we'd still use more
and more memory over time, so this is not good over longer periods
of time. Only keep track of files if there's actually a limit set,
so that we will prune the list from time to time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766991
splitmuxsink requests pad from element using pad template like "video_%u", "audio_%u" and "sink_%d". This is true for most of the muxers.
But splitmuxsink not able to request pad to flvmux as flvmux has "audio" and "video" as pad templates.
fix: splitmuxsink should fallback to "audio" and "video" when template not found.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774507
Do not use last buffer TS + buffer duration because buffer duration
might be inaccurate, especially for frame rates like 30fps where a
rounding error is observed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773785
Commit 83e718 added a pad template to splitmux request
pads, which means that GstElement now releases the pads on
dispose, but after having removed all elements in the bin
and unlinked them. Make sure we can handle cleanup in that case
without throwing assertions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773784
The pacing of the overall muxing is controlled
by the video GOPs arriving, so we can only handle
1 video stream, and the request pad is named accordingly.
Ignore a request for a 2nd video pad if there's already
an active one.

If the seek stop point (or start, during reverse play)
was within the segment we just finished, go EOS immediately
instead of proceeding through all other parts and sending
0 length seeks to them.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=772138
When one part moves ahead of the others - due to excessive
downstream queueing, or really small input files - then
we can end up activating parts more than once. That can lead to
effects like shutting down pad tasks prematurely.

This reverts commit f1ceaab02f.
This broke atomic file writes in "buffer" mode. It did make
sure that any streamheaders are prepended to each file in
buffer mode as well, but that's not really needed in practice,
whereas atomic file writes are, so let's restore the status
quo ante for now since this was primarily a code cleanup anyway,
and if anyone needs to streamheaders in buffer mode too they
can make a patch to implement that differently. Re-implementing
the atomic writes in the element also seems way too much work.

async-handling in GstBin causes the pipeline to spin at 100%
CPU as the top-level pipeline tries to change that state
to PLAYING constantly. This is a workaround for a core
problem, essentially, but an improvement in this case for now.
After dropping the splitmux lock, re-check the state,
don't just fall through and sleep unconditionally,
as we may have already missed the wakeup.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769514
Use signed clock times for running time everywhere
so that we handle negative running times without
going haywire, similar to what queue and multiqueue
do these days.
Set the async-handling property on GstBin to let it manage
async-handling instead of the local handling from the previous
commit. Works because of #174a5e in core
When switching fragments, hide the async-start/async-done
messages from the parent bin, as otherwise we sometimes (very rarely)
hang in PAUSED instead of returning / continuing to PLAYING
state.
This signal allows a user to directly return a sorted list of
files to be joined, so that they don't have to follow the
filename pattern that the "location" property expects.

Make sure that all data is drained out when the reference pad
goes EOS. Fixes a problem where data that arrives on other
pads after the reference pad finishes can stall forever and
never pass EOS.

Deadlock occurs when splitting files if one stream received no buffer during
the first GOP of the next file. That can happen in that scenario for example:
1) The first GOP of video is collected, it has a duration of 10s.
max_in_running_time is set to 10s.
2) Other streams catchup and we receive the first subtitle buffer at ts=0 and
has a duration of 1min.
3) We receive the 2nd subtitle buffer with a ts=1min. in_running_time is set to
1min. That buffer is blocked in handle_mq_input() because
max_in_running_time is still 10s.
4) Since all in_running_time are now > 10s, max_out_running_time is now set to
10s. That first GOP gets recorded into the file. The muxer pop buffers out
of the mq, when it tries to pop a 2nd subtitle buffer it blocks because the
GstDataQueue is empty.
5) A 2nd GOP of video is collected and has a duration of 10s as well.
max_in_running_time is now 20s. Since subtitle's in_running_time is already
1min, that GOP is already complete.
6) But let's say we overran the max file size, we thus set state to
SPLITMUX_STATE_ENDING_FILE now. As soon as a buffer with ts > 10s (end of
previous GOP) arrives in handle_mq_output(), EOS event is sent downstream
instead. But since the subtitle queue is empty, that's never going to
happen. Pipeline is now deadlocked.
To fix this situation we have to:
- Send a dummy event through the queue to wakeup output thread.
- Update out_running_time to at least max_out_running_time so it sends EOS.
- Respect time order, so we set out_running_tim=max_in_running_time because
that's bigger than previous buffer and smaller than next.
