Original commit message from CVS:
rewritten pipeline parsing lands. Have fun breaking it.
regressions:
- No support for filtered links. If anybody needs this, please contact me and I'll add it as fast as possible.
improvements:
- The pipeline building actually works as expected.
- syntax compatible nearly everywhere but more flexible
- better property parsing (you can now set enums by name or nick)
- uses locked_state to allow for delayed pads
- can connect video pipelines without the need for queues
- allows properties on bins
- does not return a bin, but an element.
You may want to read docs/random/company/gstparse to learn how it works.
Original commit message from CVS:
- implement FLOATING flag on caps/props
- use gstmemchunk for caps/props
- implement remove_entry for props
- various refcounting functions
- fix refcounting on caps/props
- use tracing for caps/props/propsentries
- fix memleak in transform functions
- fix refcounting on elementfactory padtemplates
- add dispose for padtemplates
- shortcut pad negotiation early on
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed unused locking from the cothreads
- use G_*_DECLS in .h files
- remove gstlog.h include from gstobject.h, add to .c files
- removed unused refcounting code from gstobject
- small fixes in #includes
- Added Scheduling policy and priority properties to gstthread so that
SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR threads can be constructed.
Original commit message from CVS:
commit to make gstreamer follow the gtk function/macro naming conventions:
GstPadTemplate <-> gst_pad_template <-> GST_PAD_TEMPLATE
and the same for *factory and typefind.
Original commit message from CVS:
* new parser that uses flex and bison
- doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet...
* added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api
* added --gst-mask-help command line option
* fixed -o option for gst-launch
* GstElement api change:
- gst_element_get_pad
- gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad
- gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads
- gst_element_[dis]connect_elements -> gst_element_[dis]connect
* manual update
* example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes
- no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more
extensive doc system
Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
* warning fixes
* gst_object_set_name (name, NULL) uniquifies the name globally
- needs robusticizing
* gst_elementfactory_make can now take NULL as a second argument
Original commit message from CVS:
* cleaning up duplicated code in gstbin.c
* added some sanity checks in gstpad.c
* added checks for failed connections in gstparse.c
* better docs in gstxml.c
Original commit message from CVS:
* fix doc build for glib2
* remove template files from cvs, they are generated with gtkdoc-mktmpl
* new, cleaner interface to the parser facilities
* cleanups in gstparse.c
Original commit message from CVS:
This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.
Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
remove ability to set dparams from -launch. this is the only real loss of functionality from moving dparams out of core. Maybe I'll make the parser pluggable ;)
Original commit message from CVS:
1. Add more warnings for the gst core only. Various trival fixes
to quiet the warnings.
2. Fix GstBufferCopyFunc prototype.
3. Re-apply the reverted type!=0 assertion in gst_elementfactory_new.
Original commit message from CVS:
added to -launch syntax: if an arg is prefixed with a '@' it will be treated as a dparam. eg sinesrc @volume=1.0 @freq=440.0
Original commit message from CVS:
Allow elements to be given custom names with [] syntax.
ie, gstreamer-launch disksrc[mysrc] ! ...
makes a disksrc element named mysrc, rather than disksrc0
Suggestion: don't name things with names with numbers at the end, or they
may conflict with names allocated automatically.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed a stupid assert in request_pad.
Some fixes for pullregion and EOS conditions.
Remove an unneeded check in the scheduler (check for NULL buffer)
some EOS fixes for pullregion in disksrc.
Removed the macro in the gstparse.h header 'cause it's internal to gstparse.c
Added a check in gstparse for NULL element.
Original commit message from CVS:
can now take comma delimited list of pads. eg gstreamer-launch disksrc location=~/mp3/gnome.mp3 ! mad ! int2float src%d,src%d\!sink%d,sink%d float2int ! osssink
