Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
cast -> check, since we don't need the result. This also removes a warning when it fails, and since we check for that ourselves, that's a good thing.
Original commit message from CVS:
make the registry read the plugin feature's rank - this should even make the autoplugger work again. Did I mention I'm annoyed because someone didn't test his rank-removing patch? Once opening gst-player or rhythmbox with it would have shown that it doesn't work anymore...
Original commit message from CVS:
When scheduling a group, check that its not the group thats currently in the
top of the runqueue.
Then, when scheduling a different group, disable the first group and search for the next enabled group to run. Stops deadlocking in loop based elements.
Also remove the g_list_length's from the debugging statements for a bit of speed
Original commit message from CVS:
implement translatable error messages using gerror.
Includes bugfixes for:
- crash when unlinking Ghostpads
- make *_PAD_* macros use glib casts
- make spider typefinding merge buffers correctly
Original commit message from CVS:
Add my name to the copywrite (since I wrote most of this file).
Don't fail if get_writer_id is called more than once for the same writer.
Rename debug category according to accepted norms.
Original commit message from CVS:
kill some memleaks, add ::signal-handoffs property to fakesrc/sink (default FALSE), cache return values of _gst_debug_nameof_funcptr
Original commit message from CVS:
Implement simple seek API. This can later be extended to work with GstPipeline as arguments and so on *autodetect proper element to send event to and so on), but this'll do as a start... See #116149
Original commit message from CVS:
optimized debugging.
good: - we're a lot faster than before (no more locking in debug printing)
bad : - we leak memory now when adding/removing debug handlers (which equals never for every current gstreamer app)
- gst_debug_set_active isn't threadsafe anymore
Original commit message from CVS:
Remove check for readability of a registry, since if it doesn't
exist, it's not readable. Lower-level functions already handle
this.
