When we have a multi-stream (i.e. audio and video) input and the demuxer
adds/removes pads for a new stream (common in a mpeg-ts stream when the
program stream mapping is updated), the algorithm for EOS handling was
previously wrong (it would only drop the EOS of the *last* pad but would
let the EOS on the other pads go through).
The logic has only been changed a tiny bit for EOS handling resulting in:
* If there is no next group, let the EOS go through
* If there is a next group, but not all pads are drained in the active
group, drop the EOS event
* If there is a next group and all pads are drained, then the ghostpads
will be removed and the EOS event will be dropped automatically.
Make sure decodebin1 doesn't try to plug the same parser twice
in a row (so we can change all parsers to accept parsed input as
well without breaking applications still using the old decodebin1
element).
This allows us to make parsers accept both parsed and unparsed input
without decodebin plugging them in a loop until things blow up, ie.
without affecting applications that still use the old playbin or the
old decodebin.
(Making parsers accept parsed input is useful for later when we want
to use parsers to convert the stream-format into something the decoder
can handle. It's also much more convenient for application authors
who can plug parsers unconditionally in transcoding pipelines, for
example).
... which allows adding additional packets and may be needed to counteract
the shrink that implicitly occurred during a map/unmap cycle when adding
a previous packet.
Make a new GstVideoFormatinfo structure that contains the specific information
related to a format such as the number of planes, components, subsampling,
pixel stride etc. The result is that we are now able to introduce the concept of
components again in the API.
Use tables to specify the formats and its properties.
Use macros to get information about the video format description.
Move code to set strides, offsets and size into one function.
Remove methods that are not handled with the structures.
Add methods to retrieve pointers and strides to the components in the video.
Add a flags property and two flags to allow one to disable the
conversion elements within encodebin. Doing so insists that the
uncompressed input to encodebin for the appropriate stream type is
sufficient to meet the caps requirements of the encoders, muxers and
encodebin target.
This is mostly beneficial to bypass slow caps negotiations in the
conversion elements.
