The default gst_pad_fixate_caps() previously would only fixate each individual
struct. In case there are multiple structs, the resulting caps would still not
be fixed. In the spirit of how individual structs are fixated, this patch
changes gst_pad_fixate_caps() to remove all but the first struct.
Fixes#595886
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
The OGI links are dead, so remove them. Also remove the paragraph that pointed
to OGI and DS. Only mentioning DS there made it a but pointless. Add a generic
paragraph instead that tells a bit about the usecases gstreamer covers.
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.
Add support for buffering mode where we post BUFFERING messages based on the
level of the queues. It currently operates on the first queue that goes over or
under the high/low thresholds.
In buffering mode we want to ignore the max visible items to decide when the
queue is filled. Instead, we only look at the number of bytes and/or time in the
queue.
Don't shadow the sq argument in the underrun_cb function but use
a different variable name to iterate the other queues.
Use the same variable name in the overrun_cb function.
This avoids having to do the sorting everytime we use typefind
The behaviour of gst_type_find_factory_get_list has subtlely changed
in the sense that the order was previously undefined, whereas now
it returns them sorted by rank and then by name.
Simply use casting macros for accessing the message fields like we do for
buffers and events. Avoids some costly typechecking that does not really buy us
much.
CAPS_IS_ANY and CAPS_IS_EMPTY are the equivalent of their gst_caps_*
counterpart except that they avoid the typechecking and are inlined.
CAPS_IS_EMPTY_SIMPLE only checks for empty caps (without checking if
the caps is ANY).
We currently do a little too much work when we push the first buffer around
resulting in excessive caps checking. We can probably make this a little less
expensive.
Maintain a hashtable of the plugin basename. We can then use this
hashtable to speedup the search for an existing plugin and avoid
a whole lot of strcmp calls.
