Name the allocation vmethod on srcpad decide_allocation because source pads will
have to decide what allocation parameters will be used.
Name the allocation vmethod on sinkpads propose_allocation because they will
need to configure the allocation query with a proposed values for upstream.
Wim suggested that using GstPadDirection instead of a GstPad in the
arguments to the new query vfunc would be more consistent with the other
functions.
Implement the sink event handling like the src event handler. Make the default
implementation parse and forward the event. This makes it possible to actually
return an error value from the event handler.
Remove the requirement to have to return a ref to the input buffer when in
passthrough mode. This saves a few ref/unref cycles and fixes another 0.11
FIXME.
Make a new copy_metadata vmethod and move the code to copy the timestamps, flags
and offsets into a default implementation. This will allow us to give the
subclasses a chance to override the copy method.
Move the code for prepare_output_buffer to a default implementation. this allows
us to simplify some things and have subclasses call into the default
implementation when needed.
Remove the caps and size from the prepare_output_buffer function. with
bufferpools and capsnego done differently, we don't need this in most cases and
if we do, we can simply use the transform_size function and get the caps from
the srcpad.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Instead of passing it structure by structure. This allows
better optimized transform_caps functions and allows better
transformation decisions.
See bug #619844.
Don't error out when the allocation query returns success.
Do bufferpool query after we pushed the caps event downstream so that we can get
a good bufferpool suggestion.
Also proxy the bufferpool query downstream when we operate in in_place mode.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Use the caps event to configure basetransform.
Remove force_alloc hack, we don't need this in 0.11 with new upstream
negotiation.
Avoid getting some pad caps.
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
1) We need to lock and get a strong ref to the parent, if still there.
2) If it has gone away, we need to handle that gracefully.
This is necessary in order to safely modify a running pipeline. Has been
observed when a streaming thread is doing a buffer_alloc() while an
application thread sends an event on a pad further downstream, and from
within a pad probe (holding STREAM_LOCK) carries out the pipeline plumbing
while the streaming thread has its buffer_alloc() in progress.
If the element gave us caps in a specific order, let's retain that
by intersecting against the template but retaining the order given
by the element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617045
Avoid doing unnecessary pad-allocs when on passthrough mode.
If multiple basetransform elements are on a pipeline, they
would do a pad-alloc for each received buffer, each element
would do this, so we would have lots of pad allocs on the
pipeline for a single buffer being pushed through it.
This patch attempts to reduce this amount by avoiding
doing pad-allocs if the element has already done it
after the last pushed buffer. So it will only be allowed
to do a new pad-alloc after it has pushed a buffer, so we get
1x1 pad-alloc and buffer ratio
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642373
If after computing the suggestion with downstream caps we still have
a non-fixed suggestion caps try to intersect with the input caps
of the pad alloc to avoid useless renegotiations.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642130
This can happen for example when downstream proposed new caps, later proposed
the previous caps again which in turn enables passthrough mode in upstream
elements and the wrong-sized buffer appears in an element where the caps
change never happened. Simply allocate a new buffer in this case.
See bug #635461.
Make the _get_caps functions behave like the _get_caps_reffed variants and
remove the _reffed variants. This means that _get_caps doesn't return a writable
caps anymore and an explicit _make_writable() is needed before modifying the
caps.
Because of the awkward refcounting in prepare_output_buffer, we might end up
with writable buffers that point to the same data. Check for those cases so that
we avoid a useless memcpy and keep valgrind quiet.
Fixes#628176
When we are handling a buffer and need to allocate an output buffer, handle the
case when downstream suggests us a format that we can't convert the input buffer
to. In that case, check if there is another format available downstream instead
of failing.
Fixes#621332 and see also #614296
If initially pass-through caps are negotiated between a transform element's
sink and src pads, but then the downstream element returns different caps
on a buffer from pad_alloc(), basetransform gets stuck with proxy_alloc=TRUE
even though the upstream peer doesn't accept the caps, causing
gst_pad_peer_accept_caps() to be called on each buffer in _buffer_alloc():
if (!gst_caps_is_equal (newcaps, caps)) {
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (trans, "caps are new");
/* we have new caps, see if we can proxy downstream */
>> if (gst_pad_peer_accept_caps (pad, newcaps)) {
/* peer accepts the caps, return a buffer in this format */
GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (trans, "peer accepted new caps");
which is taking ~40ms/frame.
This patch does two things. (1) if the buffer returned from pad_alloc() has
new caps, trigger the decision whether to proxy the buffer-alloc to be
revisited, and (2) disable proxy if peer does not accept new caps. (The first
part may not be strictly needed, but seemed like a good idea.)
Note that this issue would not arise except in case of downstream elements
who have on their template-caps, some that would be suitable for pass-through,
but at runtime pick more restrictive caps (for ex, after querying a driver for
what formats it actually supports).
When basetransform received an unsupported caps on pad_alloc
it just returned not-negotiated. This patch makes it query
the allowed caps between his sinkpad and upstream's srcpad
to find a caps to suggest.
This happens when dinamically switching pipeline elements
and upstream pad_allocs with the previous caps that was
being used.
Fixes#614296
Allow subclasses to override the acceptcaps function because in some cases a
custom implementation can be much much faster than the default one.
See #621190
When doing pad_allocs, use non-fixed caps suggestions and
try to fixate them before using. This makes possible to
have suggested buffer size with 0 in basetransform just
to signal upstream a renegotiation is needed
Fixes#576234Fixes#609046
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
Check when we need to touch the metadata of the output buffer after selecting
the output buffer so that we have everything in one place.
Also take flags and timestamp modifications into account.
When we have the same input as output caps, reuse the input caps object. After
the caps refcounting has been sorted out now, we can finally enable this
optimisation.
While reconfiguring a basetransform element we need also to recheck
the alloc request. Because it's possible that due to caps changes
the proxy_alloc state is not correct anymore.
