Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
This allows removing structures from caps without them being freed. Helpful when
plugins need to move around structures without having to do an expensive structure
copy.
API:gst_caps_steal_structure
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621527
People often call
gst_caps_make_writable (caps);
instead of
caps = gst_caps_make_writable (caps);
and cause a bug. Warning about an unused return value helps here.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616541#c2 for an example.
This patch adds gst_caps_set_value() and allows gst_caps_set_simple() to
work on non-simple caps. See the API documentation for the functions
about what they do.
The intention of these changes is to ease working with caps in caps
transform functions. An example for this would be ffmpegcolorspace,
where the caps transform function could be changed to look roughly like
this (pseudocode ahead):
result = gst_caps_copy (template_caps);
value = gst_structure_get_value (gst_caps_get_structure (caps, 0),
"widh");
gst_caps_set_value (result, value);
/* same for height, framerate and par */
return caps;
which is much cleaner and easier to understand than the current code.

Often we don't need the result of the intersection. Add a variant that only
tries to intersect. It can break out earlier and does less GValue copying.

Original commit message from CVS:
2005-07-01 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* tests/network-clock.scm: Commentary update.
* gst/elements/gstidentity.c (PROP_DUPLICATE): Gone daddy gone.
Didn't really make sense, not implementable with basetransform,
etc.
(gst_identity_transform): Unref inbuf via make_writable. Feeble
attempt at implementing the sync property, needs an unlock method.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.c (gst_base_transform_transform_caps):
New func, by default returns the same caps (the identity
transformation).
(gst_base_transform_getcaps): Uses transform_caps to return
something sensible.
(gst_base_transform_setcaps): Complicated logic to get caps on
both pads, even if they are different, and to call set_caps once
for every time both pads get their caps set.
(gst_base_transform_handle_buffer): Give the ref to the transform
function. Allows in-place modification of the buffer.
* gst/base/gstbasetransform.h (transform_caps): New class method.
Given caps on one side, what can I do on the other.
(set_caps): Take two caps, one for each side of the element.
* gst/gstpad.h:
* gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_fixate_caps): Change prototype to modify
caps in place. This is safe because we can check the mutability of
the caps, and a good idea because fixate functions are just called
as a matter of last resort. (Not actually implemented.)
(gst_pad_set_caps): If the caps we're setting is actually the same
as the existing pad caps, just update the pointer without calling
setcaps. Assert that caps is either NULL or fixed, as per the
docs.
* gst/gstghostpad.c: Update for fixate changes.

check new caps against existing caps -- if they're the same, return
OK without renegotiating. caps-nego-failed signal fixed so that
the marshaller isn't VOID__OBJECT. Also changed to G_TYPE_POINTER
to save an extra caps copy. Don't complete negotiation if a pad

- totally reworked type(find) system
- bytestream is out of the core again

GstProps instead of keeping the two in sync.
- implemented proper flag updates in _props_set and _props_remove.

added gst_{props,caps}_{from,to}_string to API, see documentation for use, put errors into testsuite/caps/string-conversions.c

Original commit message from CVS:
Header file fix (these ## are needed for multi-arguments) and a fix for gst_props_get() if safe = FALSE (we still need three arguments per fetch)
Original commit message from CVS:
- Remove the propsprivate header file
- Added new API for properties.
- Moved the clock distribution to the scheduler.
- Removed the lock from GstCaps
- Added boxed types for Caps/Props

- Removed _get_widget from _utils, changed to new props API
- Make fakesink sync on timestamps when requested
- Removed the offset notify from filesrc
- Added a fast scheduler
- some scheduler cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
* document gst_caps_debug
* change gst_caps_debug to accept a label argument, assists greatly
in debugging capsnego
* better names from gst_object_name_default
* some more debugging in gstpad.c
* require caps to match padtemplates on both side of a connection
* gstspider uses default naming so that names are globally unique
* moved filesrc offset arg to the top -- show up first in a prop list.
in the future we should have flags on props indicating which ones
it might be interesting for the end-user to change.
* initialize cothreads in the more standard way, and provide some more debugging
Original commit message from CVS:
Delay pad negotiation until the element is in READY or higher. this will
gice the element a chance to open its devices before we start calling the
connect functions.
Make sure we use the real pad in the negotiation.
Some other small cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
Landed the new improved capsnegotiation system.
The main idea is to keep track of the possible data types that can
pass through a connection. plugins can at any time inspect, adjust and
refine these caps. plugins also get notified when something changes to
the types so that they can reconfigure themselves.
Look at the updated plugins and the soon to be finished doc.
Original commit message from CVS:
API docs updates.
Properly implemented the disksink.
Fixed a compile problem with alsa.
Added bufferpool handling to dvdec
Some compiler warning fixes
Original commit message from CVS:
A rather large patch:
- changed the API for the padtemplates:
- remove the factories (array of pointers) for the padtemplates,
properties and caps. The static array was a nice idea but converting
all the property values to a gpointer was not a good idea.
float properties were not possible, and casting a gint to a pointer
is not very portable. The new API just uses the _padtemplate_new,
_caps_new and _props_new functions to create the templates.
This has the added benefit that the API is now uniform for static
and dynamic templates and that the code can be made cleaner.
- lots of cleanups in the way the capabilities are constructed (va_list)
- lots of updates for all the plugins (new API)
- docs updates (new API)
- removed the videoraw docs.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of updates to the plugins for caps negotiation.
Added YUY2 output to the win32 dlls.
Added a colorspace converter in gstplay
Original commit message from CVS:
Modified a lot of plugins to use the caps system.
Modified the caps of audio/raw to our agreed properties.
Added the multidisksrc plugin of Dominic Ludlam
Renamed audiosink/src to osssink/src and updated all the examples using
the old name. Moved oss specific plugins in an oss directory. removed
the old audiosink from the elements/ dir.
removed audioraw.h metadata header files since we now use the properties.
There are still a few plugins that won't build because they include the
old audioraw.h header file. This will be fixed soon.
Make sure the caps are set in the plugins as described by their
padtemplates (this should solve problems with gstmediaplay with various
media files).
*please don't panic when some plugins won't build, just cd manually into
the plugin dirs* This will be fixed soon.
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego proxying. It should be OK now.
Added another testcase enum that shows various capsnego algorithms.
Warn about pads that try to set a capability incompatible with their
padtemplate.
Implemented refcounting and copy_on_write for caps/props.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the capsnegotiation function
audiosink now uses capsnego to set its parameters
mpg123/ac3dec use capsnego instead of metadata
Added the beginnings of a testsuite for capsnego.
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive build fixup. Will send message to -devel list later with details
on the changes and what they mean for Makefile.am writers. Check
docs/random/omega/build/TODO for a list of things that I had to make sure
of.
NOTE: this requires a complete rebuild of all plugins, since I also
changed the STATE enum to a bitfield instead of sequential numbers.
