Improve closure of gaps in frame_num by strictly following and trying
to fill them with previous reference frames. So, they are now tracked
thus avoiding insertion of dummy ("greenish") frames.
If the new picture to be added to the DPB is not a first field, then
it shall be the second field of the previous picture that was added
before.
This removes the need for dpb_find_picture() now that we track the
immediately preceding decoded picture, in decode order.
When a dummy "other-field" is inserted, it is assumed to inherit the
reference flags from the first field, and the sliding window decoded
reference picture marking process is also executed so that corrupted
frames are moved out as early as possible.
While doing so, we also try to output frames that now contain a single
valid field picture, prior to inserting any other picture into the DPB.
Note: this may be superfluous currently based on the fact that dpb_add()
combines the two most recent pairable fields, but this process would be
further simplified later on.
Mark the picture as "corrupted" if it is reconstructed from corrupted
references or if those references are fake, e.g. resulting from lost
frames.
This is useful for notifying the upper layer, or downstream elements,
that the decoded frame may contain artefacts.

Add initial infrastructure in core codec library and vaapidecode to mark
corrupted frames as such. A corrupted frame is such a frame that was

This patch fix the auto-plugging problem in gstreamer 1.2 and gstreamer 1.4
Right now there is not a primary ranked parser for vc1 and the demuxers
delivers caps without specifying the profile. This situation is not an issue
for avdec_vc1 but for vaapidecode it is, which refuses to negotiate without a
explicit profile defined in the negotiated caps.
Nonetheless, in gstreamer 1.5 it seems not to be a problem since the
negotiation admits caps subsets try outs.
This patch solves the issue ignoring the profile negotiation in the caps. For
gstreamer < 1.5 the profile string is not handled, so the auto-plugging get
done without the vc1 parser, such as happens in gstreamer 1.5.

Try to identify missing first fields too, thus disregarding any
intermediate gaps in frames. We also assume that we keep the same
field sequence, i.e. if previous frames were in top-field-first
(TFF) order, then so are subsequent frames.
Note that insertion of dummy first fields need to operate in two
steps: (i) create the original first field that the current field
will inherit from, and (ii) submit that field into the DPB prior
to initializing the current (other) field POC values but after any
reference flag was set. i.e. copy reference flags from the child
(other field) to the parent (first field).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745048
Interlaced H.264 video frames always have two fields to decode and
display. However, in some cases, e.g. packet loss, one of the field
can be missing. This perturbs the reference picture marking process,
whereby the number of references available in DPB no longer matches
the expected value.
This patch adds initial support for missing field within a decoded
frame. The current strategy taken is to find out the nearest field,
by POC value, and with the same parity.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745048
Try to maintain a "top-field-first" (TFF) flag, even if the H.264 standard
does not mandate it. This will be useful for tracking missing fields, and
also for more correct _split_fields() implementation for frames in the DPB.
Don't try to decode pictures until the first I-frame is received within
the currently active sequence. There is no point is decoding and then
displaying frames with artifacts.
Fix decoding of end_of_seq() NAL unit so that to not submit the current
picture for decoding again. This is pretty vintage code that dates back
before the existing of the whole decoder units machinery.
One issue that could be arising if that code was kept is that we could
have submitted a picture, and subsequently a GstVideoCodec frame, twice.
Once without the decode_only flag set, and once with that flag set. The
end result is that the GstVideoDecoder would release the codec frame
twice, thus releasing stale data.
In short, the piece of code that is removed by this patch is for once
completely obsolete for a while, and secondly error-prone in corner
cases.
If the GOP temporal sequence number (TSN) is interpolated from a valid
PTS, then we need to compensate that PTS corresponding to the start of
GOP with the next picture to be decoded, which shall be an I-frame,
based on its sequence number.

Before pushing a the new frame, the render() method calls sync() to flush the

There is a race condition where g_drm_device_type can be left set to
DRM_DEVICE_RENDERNODES when it shouldn't.
If thread 1 comes in and falls into the last else statement setting up both

it sets g_drm_device_type = RENDERNODES.
Now when thread 2 comes in and sees g_drm_device_type is RENDERNODES, it queues
up that type to be tried but then encounters the lock and has to wait until the
first thread finishes. Once the lock is acquired it will then proceed to ONLY try
RENDERNODES and fail it. But it doesn't try LEGACY. And from then on, all future

Add gst_vaapi_display_get_display_name() helper function to determine
the name associated with the underlying native display. Note that for
raw DRM backends, the display name is actually the device path.
The timestamp generator in gstvaapidecoder_mpeg2.c always interpolated
frame timestamps within a GOP, even when it's been fed input PTS for
every frame.
That leads to incorrect output timestamps in some situations - for example
live playback where input timestamps have been scaled based on arrival time
from the network and don't exactly match the framerate.

When a DPB flush is required, e.g. at a natural and of stream or issued
explicitly through an IDR, try to detect any frame left in the DPB that
is interlaced but does not contain two decoded fields. In that case, mark
the picture as having a single field only.
This avoids a hang while decoding tv_cut.mkv.
Simplify the dpb_output() function to exclusively rely on the frame store
buffer to output, since this is now always provided. Besides, also fix
cases where split fields would not be displayed.
This is a regression from f48b1e0.
Cope with latest changes from codecparsers/h264. It is now required
to explicitly clear the GstH264PPS structure as it could contain
additional allocations (slice_group_ids).
Add new GstVaapiSurfaceProxy flag FFB, which means "first frame in
bundle", and really expresses the first view component of a multi
view coded frame. e.g. in H.264 MVC, the surface proxy has flag FFB
set if VOIdx = 0.
Likewise, new API is exposed to retrieve the associated "view-id".
Allow decoders to set the "one-field" attribute when the decoded frame
genuinely has a single field, or if the second field was mis-decoded but
we still want to display the first field.
Make sure to output the decoded picture, and push the associated
GstVideoCodecFrame, only once. The frame fully represents what needs
to be output, included for interlaced streams. Otherwise, the base
GstVideoDecoder class would release the frame twice.
Anyway, the general process is to output decoded frames only when
they are complete. By complete, we mean a full frame was decoded or
both fields of a frame were decoded.
Slightly optimize decoding process by submitting the current VA surface
for decoding earlier to the hardware, and perform the reference picture
marking process and DPB update process afterwards.
This is a minor optimization to let the video decode engine kick in work
earlier, thus improving parallel resources utilization.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams where a first field (e.g. B-slice)
was immediately output and the current decoded field is to be paired
with that former frame, which is no longer in DPB.

Optimize the process to detect new pictures or start of new access
units by checking if the previous NAL unit was the end of a picture,
or the end of the previous access unit.
Add support for MVC streams with multiple SPS and subset SPS headers
emitted regularly, e.g. at around every I-frame. Track the maximum
number of views in ensure_context() and really reset the DPB size to
the expected value, always. i.e. even if it decreased. dpb_reset()
only cares of ensuring the DPB allocation.
Fix the compaction process when the DPB is cleared for a specific
view, i.e. fix the process of filling in the holes resulting from
removing frame buffers matching the current picture.
It is not necessary to periodically send SPS or subset SPS headers.
This is up to the upper layer (e.g. transport layer) to decide on
if/how to periodically submit those. For now, only generate new SPS
or subset SPS headers when the codec config changed.
Note: the upper layer could readily determine the config headers
(SPS/PPS) through the gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_get_codec_data() function.

Report sample aspect ratio (SAR) as present, and make it match what
we have obtained from the user as pixel-aspect-ratio (PAR). i.e. the
VUI parameter aspect_ratio_info_present_flag now defaults to TRUE.
Set the value of num_anchor_refs_l0, num_anchor_refs_l1, num_non_anchor_refs_l0,
and num_non_anchor_refs_l1 to zero since the inter-view prediction is not yet
supported.
When the seq_parameter_set_data() syntax structure is present in a subset
sequence parameter set and vui_parameters_present_flag is equal to 1, then
timing_info_present_flag shall be equal to 0 (H.7.4.2.1.1).
Submit Prefix NAL headers (nal_unit_type = 14) before every packed
slice header (nal_unit_type = 1 or 5) only for the base view. In non
base views, a Coded Slice Extension NAL header (nal_unit_type = 20)
is required, with an appropriate nal_unit_header_mvc_extension() in
the NAL header bytes.

Fix search for a picture in the DPB that has a lower POC value than
the current picture. The dpb_find_lowest_poc() function will return
a picture with the lowest POC in DPB and that is marked as "needed

of the current picture is needed.
This is a regression from 1c46990.

Fix dpb_clear() to clear previous frame buffers only if they actually
exist to begin with. If the decoder bailed out early, e.g. when it
does not support a specific profile, that array of previous frames
might not be allocated beforehand.
We can avoid scanning for start codes again if the bitstream is fed
in NALU chunks. Currently, we always scan for start codes, and keep
track of remaining bits in a GstAdapter, even if, in practice, we
are likely receiving one GstBuffer per NAL unit. i.e. h264parse with
"nal" alignment.

The `vaapipostproc' element could never determine if the H.264 stream

vaapipostproc element to automatically enable deinterlacing.

Factor out the removal process of unused inter-view only reference
pictures from the DPB, prior to the possible insertion of the current
picture.
Ideally, the compiler could still opt for generating two loops. But
at least, the code is now clearer for maintenance.
Improve process for the removal of pictures from DPB before possible
insertion of the current picture (C.4.4) for H.264 MVC inter-view only
reference components. In particular, handle cases where picture to be
inserted is not the last one of the access unit and if it was already
output and is no longer marked as used for reference, including for
decoding next view components within the same access unit.
While invoking the DPB bumping process in presence of many views,
it could be necessary to output previous pictures that are ready,
in a whole. i.e. emitting all view components from the very first
view order index zero to the very last one in its original access
unit; and not starting from the view order index of the picture
that caused the DPB bumping process to be invoked.
As a reminder, the maximum number of frames in DPB for MultiView
High profile with more than 2 views is not necessarily a multiple
of the number of views.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-4.264.
Let the utility layer handle dynamic growth of the inter-view pictures
array. By definition, setting a new size to the array will effectively
grow the array, but would also fill in the newly created elements with
empty entries (NULL), thus also increasing the reported length, which
is not correct.
When decoding Multiview High profile streams with a large number of
views, it is not possible to make the VAPictureParameterBufferH264.
ReferenceFrames[] array hold the complete DPB, with all possibly
active pictures to be used for inter-view prediction in the current
access unit.
So reduce the scope of the ReferenceFrames[] array to only include
the set of reference pictures that are going to be used for decoding
the current picture. Basically, this is a union of all RefPicListX[]
array, for all slices constituting the decoded picture.
The inter-view reference components and inter-view only reference
components that are included in the reference picture lists shall
be considered as not being marked as "used for short-term reference"
or "used for long-term reference". This means that reference flags
should all be removed from VAPictureH264.flags.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-2.264.
If the VA driver exposes ad-hoc H.264 MVC profiles, then we have to
be careful to detect profiles changes and not reset the underlying
VA context erroneously. In MVC situations, we could indeed get a
profile_idc change for every SPS that gets activated, alternatively
(base-view -> non-base view -> base-view, etc.).
An improved fix would be to characterize the exact profile to use
once and for all when SPS NAL units are parsed. This would also
allow for fallbacks to a base-view decoding only mode.
Exclusively use VA drivers that support raw packed headers for encoding.
i.e. simply submit packed headers Subset SPS and Prefix NAL units. This
provides for better compatibility accross the various VA drivers and HW
generations since no particular API is needed beyond what readily exists.
Since we are encoding each view independently from each other, we
need a higher number of pre-allocated surfaces to be used as the
reconstructed frames. For Stereo High profile encoding, this means
to effectively double the number of frames to be stored in the DPB.
Add initial support for Subset SPS, Prefix NAL and Slice Extension NAL
for non-base-view streams encoding, and the usual SPS, PPS and Slice
NALs for base-view encoding.
The H.264 Stereo High profile encoding mode will be turned on when the
"num-views" parameter is set to 2. The source (raw) YUV frames will be
considered as Left/Right view, alternatively.
Each of the two views has its own frames reordering pool and reference
frames list management system. Inter-view references are not supported
yet, so the views are encoded independently from each other.

Optimize lookups of view ids / view order indices by caching the result
of the calculatiosn right into the GstVaapiParserInfoH264 struct. This
terribly simplifies is_new_access_unit() and find_first_field() functions.
Add safe fallbacks for MVC profiles:
- all MultiView High profile streams with 2 views at most can be decoded
with a Stereo High profile compliant decoder ;
- all Stereo High profile streams with only progressive views can be
decoded with a MultiView High profile compliant decoder ;
- all drivers that support slice-level decoding could normally support
MVC profiles when the DPB holds at most 16 frames.
In order to have a stricter conforming implementation, we need to carefully
detect access unit boundaries. Additional operations could be necessary to
perform at those boundaries.

Factor out process by which the decoded picture with the lowest POC

could also be simplified as they mostly share the same operations.
Make init_picture_ref_lists() more consistent with other functions
related to the reference marking process by supplying the current
picture as argument.
Add gst_vaapi_display_get_vendor_string() helper function to query
the underlying VA driver name. The display object owns the resulting
string, so it shall not be deallocated.
That function is thread-safe. It could be used for debugging purposes,
for instance.
Make sure to initialize one GstVaapiDisplay at a time, even in threaded
environments. This makes sure the display cache is also consistent
during the whole display creation process. In the former implementation,
there were risks that display cache got updated in another thread.
Add support for dynamic growth of the VA surfaces pool. For decoding,
this implies the recreation of the underlying VA context, as per the
requirement from VA-API. Besides, only increases are supported, not
shrinks.
It is a requirement from VA-API specification that the VA context got
from vaCreateContext(), for decoding purposes, binds the supplied set
of VA surfaces. This means that if the set of VA surfaces is to be
changed for the current decode session, then the VA context needs to
be recreated with the new set of VA surfaces.
Complement fix committed as e95a42e.

complementary reference field pair is also marked as "used for long-term

At the time the first VCL NAL unit of a primary coded picture is found,
and if that NAL unit was parsed to be an SPS or PPS, then the entries
in the parser may have been overriden. This means that, when the picture
is to be decoded, slice_hdr->pps could point to an invalid (the next)
PPS entry.
So, one way to solve this problem is to not use the parser PPS and
SPS info but rather maintain our own activation chain in the decoder.

Don't force allocation of VA surfaces in YUV 4:2:0 format. Rather, allow

The gst_h264_parse_parse_sei() function now returns an array of SEI

Fix parser and decoder state to sync at the right locations. This is

Make sure to configure the encoder with the set of packed headers we

Cache the first compatible GstVaapiProfile found if the encoder is not

Also fix the default set of supported rate control modes to not the
"none" variant. It's totally useless to expose it at this point.
Introduce GstVaapiContextUsage so that to explicitly determine the
usage of a VA context. This is useful in view to simplifying the
creation of VA context for VPP too.
Unknown attributes, or attributes that are not supported for the given
profile/entrypoint pair have a return value of VA_ATTRIB_NOT_SUPPORTED.
So, return failure in this case.
Move GstVideoOverlayComposition handling to separate source files.
This helps keeing GstVaapiContext core implementation to the bare

hardware, based on heuristics that lead to characterize the SW profile,
i.e. the one used by the SW level encoding logic.
Automatically derive the minimum profile and level to be used for
encoding, based on the activated coding tools. Improve lookup for
the best suitable level with the new MPEG-2 helper functions.
Also change the default profile to "simple" so that to ensure maximum
compatibility when the stream is decoded.

Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: drop unused
macro definitions, drop initialization of vars that are zero-initialized
from the base class, drop un-necessary casts.
Add encoder "tune" option to override the default behaviour that is to
favor maximum decoder compatibility at the expense of lower compression
ratios.
Expected tuning options to be developed are:
- "high-compression": improve compression, target best-in-class decoders;
- "low-latency": tune for low-latency decoding;
- "low-power": tune for encoding in low power / resources conditions.
Only expose the exact static set of supported rate-control properties
to the upper layer. For instance, if the GstVaapiEncoderXXX class does
only support CQP rate control, then only add it the the exposed enum
type.
Add helper macros and functions to build a GType for an enum subset.
Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_keyframe_period() interface to allow the
user control the maximum distance between two keyframes. This new
property can only be set prior to gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state().
A value of zero for "keyframe-period" gets it re-evaluated to the
actual framerate during encoder reconfiguration.
Improve codec reconfiguration to be performed only through a single
function. That is, remove the _set_context_info() hook as subclass
should not alter the parent GstVaapiContextInfo itself. Besides, the
VA context is constructed only at the final stages of reconfigure().
Add interface to communicate the encoder resolution and related info
like framerate, interlaced vs. progressive, etc. This new interface
supersedes gst_vaapi_encoder_set_format() and doesn't use any GstCaps
but rather use GstVideoCodecState.
Note that gst_vaapi_encoder_set_codec_state() is also a synchronization
point for codec config. This means that the encoder is reconfigured
there to match the latest properties.
Add interface to communicate configurable properties to the encoder.
This covers both the common ones (rate-control, bitrate), and the
codec specific properties.

Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_bitrate() interface to allow the user control
the bitrate for encoding. Currently, changing this parameter is only
valid before the first frame is encoded. Should the value be modified
afterwards, then GST_VAAPI_ENCODER_STATUS_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILED is
returned.

Add gst_vaapi_encoder_set_rate_control() interface to request a new
rate control mode for encoding. Changing the rate control mode is
only valid prior to encoding the very first frame. Afterwards, an
error ("operation-failed") is issued.
