A new FEI based encoder element for h264 is added: vaapih264feienc
FEI is a an extension to VA-API which is providing low level
advanced control over different stages of encoding.
Extending vaapih264enc with fei support is possible, but it will
make the code too much complicated and will be difficult
to debug. So adding the new encoder element, but keeping
the rank as 0 , vaapih264enc will stay as the primary
encoder for normal use cases.
The vaaih264feienc is mainly useful for customers who want to play
with MotionVectors and Macroblock Predictions. Also user can
do one stage of encoding(eg: only the Motion Vector Calculation)
in software and offload trasformation/entroy-coding etc to
Hardware (which is what PAK module is doing) using FEI element.
vaapih264feienc can work in different modes using fei-mode properoty
eg: gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! vaapih264feienc fei-mode=ENC+PAK ! filesink location=sample.264
Important Note: ENC only mode won't produce any encoded data which is expected.
But ENC alwys requires the output of PAK in order to do the inter-prediction
over reconstructed frames.
Similary PAK mode alway requires MV and MBCode as input, so unless there is an
upstream element providing those buffers, PAK only won't work as expected.
In a nutshell, ENC_PAK and the ENC+PAK modes are the only options we can verify
with vaapih264feienc. But ideally, EN+PAK mode verification is enough to make sure
that ENC and PAK are working as expected since ENC+PAK mode always invoke ENC and PAK
separately in vaapih264feienc.

In the spirit of the codec split, this patch removes the documentation of
vaapidecode and adds a page per each possible decoder.
Nonetheless, only those available in the compilation system are going to be
instrospected, because the rest are not registered.
When running transform_caps() vmethod, returning the srcpad caps, the caps are
early restricted to the element properties set: width, height, format and
force keep aspect.
A new file was added gstvaapipostprocutil.{c,h} where the utilities functions
are stored.

When runnig the `make dist` target from a clean tree, it fails because
if could not find the copied files from codecparsers submodule.
They weren't copied because they weren't declared as built sources.
This patch removes the stamp mechanism and use the actual file list to copy
as the built sources. Also it fixes the duplication of the parser files.

GST_CODEC_PARSER_* variables are defined if builtin codec parsers are disabled
when running configure.
Right now, libgstcodecparsers links only to libgstvaapi, but libgstvaapi_parse
need it if builtin codec parsers are disabled.
This patch adds GST_CODEC_PARSER_* variables to libgstvaapi_parse
compilation. If builtin codec parsers are enable, this variable is null, so it
should work using libgstvaapi, as normal.

Working on bug #744042 I realized that the gstvaapiuploader is practically not
used.
This patch removes the gstvaapiuploader and add the method
gst_vaapi_plugin_base_get_allowed_raw_caps () that returns the raw caps that
the system can handle, which is used by vaapisink and vaapipostproc.

This patch fixes several issues found when running the `make distcheck`
target:
- In commit c561b8da, the update of gstcompat.h in Makefile.am was
forgotten.
- In commit c5756a91 add the simple_encoder_source_h in EXTRA_DIST was
forgotten.
- vpx.build.stamp is not generated at all, only vpx.configure.stamp.
- The make target distcleancheck failed because some autogenerated files
were not handled with the DISTCLEANFILES variable.
Note: `make distcheck -jXX` is not currently supported.
This is a mirror of h265parse element in upstream gst-plugins-bad.
There could be additional patches but all should go to upstream.
This is for making development faster.
Note: vaapiparse_h265 will get build only for GStreamer version >= 1.4
This patch only removes the support of gstreamer-1.0 in the autotools
scripts. No other files are touched.
In the automake file all the converters were deprecated.

Add a "vaapidecodebin" element to vaapi plugins.
Child Elements: "vaapidecode ! queue ! vaapipostproc"
The Reasons for implementing a new bin element:
-- Help to Autoplug Hardware Accelerated Video Postprocessing element in playbin
with out any dependency to upstream gstreamer.
This is to overcome the *unacceptable* delay in upstream gstreamer to get new
features in. Eg: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687182.
Also customers using older gstreamer versions (1.2 and 1.4) will get the
benefit of autoplugging, hardware accelerated deinterlacing support etc.
-- Help to maintain a single thread implementation in vaapidecode.
This will result a dead-lock free vaapidecode in most of the cases.

Add initial support for EGL through GstVideoGLTextureUploadMeta.
Fix gst_vaapi_ensure_display() to allocate a GstVaapiDisplay off the
downstream supplied GstGLContext configuration, i.e. use its native
display handle to create a GstVaapiDisplay of type X11 or Wayland ;
and use the desired OpenGL API to allocate the GstVaapiDisplayEGL
wrapper.

Record GL context supplied by downstream elements. This can be useful,
and further needed, to enforce run-time check that the GL context is
compatible for use by libgstvaapi. e.g. check that we don't create a
VA/GLX display for EGL/X11 contexts.

The built-in video parsers elements are built into a single DSO named
libgstvaapi_parse.so. The various video parsers could be accessed as
vaapiparse_CODEC.
For now, this only includes a modified version of h264parse so that to
support H.264 MVC encoded streams.
Fix generation of source tarballs when certain conditionals are not
met. e.g. always include all buildable codecparsers sources in the
distribution tarball, fix plug-in element sources set to include X11
and encoder bits.
Introduce a new GstVaapiPluginBase object that will contain all common
data structures and perform all common tasks. First step is to have a
single place to hold VA displays.
While we are at it, also make sure to store and subsequently release
the appropriate debug category for the subclasses.
Add GstVaapiEncodeMPEG2 element object. The actual plug-in element
is called "vaapiencode_mpeg2".

Add thin compatibility layer for the deprecated GstVideoContext API.
For GStreamer API >= 1.2, this involves the following two functions:

context to the rest of the pipeline.

Install a new video converter that supports X11 pixmap targets for X11
backends only, or make the GLX converter creation function chain up to

Add support for interlaced streams with GStreamer 1.0 too. Basically,
this enables vaapipostproc, though it is not auto-plugged yet. We also
make sure to reply to CAPS queries, and happily handle CAPS events.
Fix make dist to allow build for either GStreamer 0.10 or 1.0. i.e. make
sure to include all source files in either case while generating source
tarballs.
Introduce a new configure option --with-gstreamer-api that determines
the desired GStreamer API to use. By default, GStreamer 1.0 is selected.
Also integrate more compatibility glue into gstcompat.h and plugins.
