Don't force allocation of VA surfaces in YUV 4:2:0 format. Rather, allow
for the upper layer to specify the desired chroma type. If the chroma
type field is not set (or yields zero), then YUV 4:2:0 format is used
by default.
Fix possible bug when a per-segment deblocking filter level value
needs to be set in non-absolute mode, i.e. when the loop filter update
value is negative in delta mode.
Also clamp the resulting filter level value to 0..63 range.
Improve condition to disable the loop filter. The previous heuristic
used to check all filter levels, for all segments. It turns out that
only the base filter_level value defined in the frame header needs
to be checked.
This fixes 00-comprehensive-013.
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.
The built-in libvpx serves multiple purposes, among which the most
important ones could be: track the most up-to-date, and optimized,
range decoder; allow for future hybrid implementations (non-VLD);
and have a completely independent range decoder implementation.
Apply correct patch from fd.o #722760 to fix several issues: update the
license terms to LGPLv2.1+, fix dependencies to built-in libvpx and fix
make dist.
Add libvpx submodule that tracks the upstream version 1.3.0. This is
needed to build a libgstcodecparsers_vpx.so library with all symbols
placed into the GSTREAMER namespace.
The gst_h264_parse_parse_sei() function now returns an array of SEI
messages, instead of a single SEI message. Reason: it is allowed to
have several SEI messages packed into a single SEI NAL unit, instead
of multiple NAL units.
8fadf40 h264: Fix multiple SEI messages in one SEI RBSP parsing.
644825f h265: remove trailling 0x00 bytes as the spec doesn't allow them
95f9f0f h264: remove trailling 0x00 bytes as the spec doesn't allow them

7ba641d h265: Fix debug output
d9f9f9b h264: not all startcodes should have 3-byte 0 prefix
Fix parser and decoder state to sync at the right locations. This is
because we could reset the parser state, while the decoder state was
not copied yet, e.g. when parsing several NAL units from multiple frames
whereas the current frame was not decoded yet.
This is a regression brought in by commit 6fe5496.
Fix gstreamer-vaapi includedir for GStreamer 1.2 setups. i.e. use
the pkgconfig version (1.0) instead of the intended API version (1.2).
libgstvaapi1.0-dev and libgstvaapi1.2-dev packages will now conflict,
as would core GStreamer 1.0 and GStreamer 1.2 dev packages anyway.
Add gst_vaapi_get_config_attribute() helper function that takes a
GstVaapiDisplay and the rest of the arguments with VA types. The aim
is to have thread-safe VA helpers by default.
Make sure to configure the encoder with the set of packed headers we
intend to generate and submit. i.e. make selection of packed headers
to submit more robust.
Cache the first compatible GstVaapiProfile found if the encoder is not
configured yet. Next, factor out the code to check for the supported
rate-control modes by moving out vaGetConfigAttributes() to a separate
function, while also making sure that the attribute type is actually
supported by the encoder.
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
minimal, i.e. simpy helpers to create a VA context and handle pool
of associated VA surfaces.
Improve documentation and debug messages. Clean-up APIs, i.e. strip
them down to the minimal set of interfaces. They are private, so no
need expose getters for instance.
Make sure that libgstvaapi private headers remain internally used to
build libgstvaapi libraries only. All header dependencies were reviewed
and checks for IN_LIBGSTVAAPI definition were added accordingly.
Also rename GST_VAAPI_CORE definition to IN_LIBGSTVAAPI_CORE to keep
consistency.
Set a valid GstVideoCodecFrame.system_frame_number when decoding a
stream in standalone mode. While we are at it, improve the debugging
messages to also include that frame number.
When decoding failed, or that the frame was dropped, the associated
surface proxy is not guaranteed to be present. Thus, the GST_DEBUG()
message needs to check whether the proxy is actually present or not.

Don't emit NAL HRD parameters for now in the SPS headers because the
SEI buffering_period() and picture_timing() messages are not handled
yet. Some additional changes are necessary to get it right.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722734
Fix default CPB buffer size to something more reasonable (1500 ms)
and that still fits the level limits. This is a non configurable
property for now. The initial CPB removal delay is also fixed to
750 ms.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722087
Round down the calculated, or supplied, bitrate (kbps) into a multiple
of the HRD bitrate scale factor. Use a bitrate scale factor of 64 so
that to have less losses in precision. Likewise, don't round up because
that could be a strict constraint imposed by the user.
Fix the level calculation involving bitrate limits. Since we are
targetting NAL HRD conformance, the check against MaxBR from the
Table A-1 limits shall involve cpbBrNalFactor depending on the
active profile.
Submit sequence parameter buffers only once, or when the bitstream
was reconfigured in a way that requires such. Always submit packed
sequence parameter buffers at I-frame period, if the VA driver needs
those.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722737
Make sure to submit the packed headers only if the underlying VA driver
requires those. Currently, only handle packed sequence and picture
headers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722737
The VAEncSequenceParameterBuffer.ip_period value reprents the distance
between the I-frame and the next P-frame. So, this also accounts for
any additional B-frame in the middle of it.
This fixes rate control heuristics for certain VA drivers.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722735
Fix level characterisation when the bitrate is automatically computed
from the active coding tools. i.e. ensure the bitrate once the profile
is completely characterized but before the level calculation process.
Document and rename a few functions here and there. Drop code that
caps num_bframes variable in reset_properties() since they shall
have been checked beforehand, during properties initialization.
Clean-up GstBitWriter related utility functions and simplify notations.
While we are at it, also make bitstream writing more robust should an
overflow occur. We could later optimize for writing headers capped to
their maximum possible size by using the _unchecked() helper variants.
Drop private header since it was originally used to expose internals
to the plugin element. The proper interface is now the properties API,
thus rendering private headers totally obsolete.
Add support for hue, saturation, brightness and constrat adjustments.
Also fix cap info local copy to match the really expected cap subtype
of interest.

Change the submission order of VA objects so that to make that process
more logical. i.e. submit sequence parameter first, if any; next the
packed headers associated to sequece, picture or slices; and finally
the actual picture and associated slices.
Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: rename some
variables, drop unused macro definitions, drop initialization of vars
that are zero-initialized from the base class, drop un-necessary casts,
allocate GPtrArrays with a destroy function.
Fix frame cropping rectangle calculation to handle horizontal resolutions
that don't match a multiple of 16 pixels, but also the vertical resolution
that was incorrectly computed for progressive sequences too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722089
For non "Constant-QP" modes, we could provide more reasonable heuristics
for the target bitrate. In general, 48 bits per macroblock with all the
useful coding tools enable looks safe enough. Then, this rate is raised
by +10% to +15% for each coding tool that is disabled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719699
Add support for "high-compression" tuning option. First, determine the
largest supported profile by the hardware. Next, check any target limit
set by the user. Then, enable each individual coding tool based on the
resulting profile_idc value to use.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719696
Allow user to precise the largest profile to use for encoding due
to target decoder constraints. For instance, if CABAC entropy coding
mode is requested by "constrained-baseline" profile only is desired,
then an error is returned during codec configuration.
Also make sure that the suitable profile we derived actually matches
what the HW can cope with.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719694
Refine the heuristic to determine the maximum size of a coded buffer
to account for the exact number of slices. set_context_info() is the
last step during codec reconfiguration, no additional change is done
afterwards, so re-using the num_slices field here is fine.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719953
Automatically derive the minimum profile and level to be used for
encoding, based on the activated coding tools. The encoder will
be trying to generate a bitstream that has the best chances to be
decoded on most platforms by default.
Also change the default profile to "constrained-baseline" so that
to ensure maximum compatibility when the stream is decoded.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719691
Fix lookup for a suitable HW profile, as to be used by the underlying
hardware, based on heuristics that lead to characterize the SW profile,
i.e. the one used by the SW level encoding logic.
Also fix constraint_set0_flag (A.2.1) and constraint_set1_flag (A.2.2)
as they should respectively match the baseline and main profile.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719827
The libgstvaapi core encoders are meant to support raw bitstreams only.
Henceforth, we are always producing a stream in "byte-stream" format.
However, the "codec-data" buffer which holds SPS and PPS headers is
always available. The "lengthSizeMinusOne" field is always set to 3
so that in-place "byte-stream" format to "avc" format conversion could
be performed.
Various clean-ups to improve consistency and readability: rename some
variables, drop unused macro definitions, drop initialization of vars
that are zero-initialized from the base class, drop un-necessary casts.
Fix lookup for a suitable HW profile, as to be used by the underlying

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719529
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719529
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719529
Instal <gst/vaapi/gstvaapiutils_h264.h> header but only expose the
H.264 levels in there. The additional helper functions are meant
to be private for now.
Fix formts for various GST_DEBUG et al. invocations. More precisely,
make size_t arguments use the %zu format specifier accordingly; force
XID formats to be a 32-bit unsigned integer; and fix the format used
for gst_vaapi_create_surface_with_format() error cases since we have
been using strings nowadays.
The following helper functions are no longer used, thus are removed:
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_structure()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_from_caps()
- gst_vaapi_video_format_to_caps()
Replace gst_vaapi_display_get_{decode,encode}_caps() APIs with more
more convenient APIs that return an array of GstVaapiProfile instead
of GstCaps: gst_vaapi_display_get_{decode,encode}_profiles().
Replace gst_vaapi_display_get_{image,subpicture}_caps() APIs, that
returned GstCaps, with more convenient APIs that return an array of
GstVideoFormat: gst_vaapi_display_get_{image,subpicture}_formats().
Fix display creation code to check that any display obtained from a
neighbour actually has the type we expect. Note: if display type is
set to "any", we can then accept any VA display type.
The GLTextureUploadMeta implementation assumed that for each upload()
sequence, the supplied texture id is always the same as the one that
was previously cached into the underlying GstVaapiTexture. Cope with
any texture id change the expense to recreate the underlying VA/GLX
resources.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719643
Improve robustness when some expected packets where not received yet
or that were not correctly decoded. For example, don't try to decode
a picture if there was no valid frame headers parsed so far.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57902
Conformance test Base_Ext_Main_profiles/BA3_SVA_C.264 complys with
extended profile specifications. However, the SPS header has the
constraint_set1_flag syntax element set to 1. This means that, if
a Main profile compliant decoder is available, then it should be
able to decode this stream.
This changes makes it possible to fall-back from Extended profile
to Main profile if constraint_set1_flag is set to 1.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720190
Recognize streams marked as conforming to the "Constrained Baseline
Profile". If VA driver supports that as is, fine. Otherwise, fallback
to baseline, main or high profile.
Constrained Baseline Profile conveys coding tools that are common
to baseline profile and main profile.
