When the tune is NONE, we now can choose entrypoint freely. So the
GST_VAAPI_ENCODER_TUNE macro may not return the correct current
entrypoint.
We also delay CTU size calculation after entrypoint has been decided.
FEI encoders are not actively mantained neither tested, and it is
using infrastructure that is changing and FEI is stopping this
effort.
Also it is required to rethink how FEI can be used in GStreamer.
Use the gst_video_aggregator_pad_has_current_buffer API
to check if the current sinkpad has a queued buffer before
attempting to obtain a input buffer from the base plugin.
If the sinkpad does not have a current buffer, then it is
either not producing them yet (e.g. current time < sinkpad
start time) or it has reached EOS.
Previously, we only handled EOS case.
Example:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=100 \
! vaapipostproc ! vaapioverlay name=overlay \
! vaapisink videotestsrc timestamp-offset=1000000000 \
num-buffers=100 ! video/x-raw,width=160,height=120 \
! overlay.
Recursive functions are elegant but dangerous since they might
overflow the stack. It is better to turn them into a list tranversal
if possible, as this case.
Instead of using a parent structure that has to be derived by API
consumers, this change propse a simplification by using the common
pattern of GTK of passing a function pointer and user data which will
be passed as its parameter. That user data contains the state and the
function will be called to update that state.
This new API allows the user to call a single method (process)
which handles the [display] lock/unlock logic internally for
them.
This API supersedes the risky begin, render, end API.
It eliminates the need for the user to call a lock method
(process_begin) before processing the input buffers
(process_render) and calling an unlock method (process_end)
afterwards.
See #219
The current get_profile just return one possible profile for the encode,
which is not enough. For example, if we want to support HEVC 4:4:4
profile, the input of encode should be VYUA rather than NV12 in HEVC
main profile. So the command line:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! fakesink
can not work because vaapih265enc just report NV12 in sink caps, we need
to specify the profile obviously like:
gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=200 ! capsfilter \
caps=video/x-raw,format=VUYA,width=800,height=600 ! vaapih265enc \
tune=low-power init-qp=30 ! capsfilter caps=video/x-h265, \
profile=main-444 ! fakesink
The encode should have the ability to choose the profile based on input
format automatically. If the input video format is VUYA, the main-444
profile should be auto choosed.
We modify to let get_allowed_profiles of each encode sub class to return
an array of all supported profiles based on downstream's allowed caps, or
return NULL if no valid profiles specified by downstream.
If no allowed profiles found, all profiles which belong to the current
encoder's codec will be the candidates.
The function gst_vaapi_encoder_get_surface_attributes collects the surface's
attributes for that profile list we just get.
So for this case, both NV12 and VUYA should be returned.
TODO: some codec like VP9, need to implement the get_profile() function.
vaapioverlay is only registered if the VA driver support the blend
operation.
This patch only executes the test if vaapioverlay is available,
otherwise the test is bail out without raising an error.
A plugin similar to the base compositor element but
uses VA-API VPP blend functions to accelerate the
overlay/compositing.
Simple example:
gst-launch-1.0 -vf videotestsrc ! vaapipostproc \
! tee name=testsrc ! queue \
! vaapioverlay sink_1::xpos=300 sink_1::alpha=0.75 \
name=overlay ! vaapisink testsrc. ! queue ! overlay.
We can get all the information about the video format at one shot
when we create the test context for getting the supported formats.
The current way to get the width and height ranges are inefficient,
since it calls the function gst_vaapi_profile_caps_append_encoder()
and it creates another temporal context to detect the resolution
information.

Some profile, such as H265_MAIN_444 on new Intel platform, may only
support ENTRYPOINT_SLICE_ENCODE_LP entrypoint. This leads two
problems:
1. We need to specify the tune mode like `vaapih265enc tune=low-power`
every time when we need to use this kind of profile. Or we can not
create the encoder context successfully.
2. More seriously, we set the entrypoint to a fixed value in
init_context_info() and so the create_test_context_config() can not
create the test context for these profile and can not get the
supported video formats, either.
We now change the entrypoint setting based on the tune option of the
encoder. If no tune property provided, we just choose the first
available entrypoint.
Instead of init_context_info() setting the passed profile, it is
assumed that it has to be set by each encoder.

We use GST_VAAPI_OBJECT_NATIVE_DISPLAY with wrong parameter for x11
pixmap creation, which causes crash if we run the internal test case
of:
test-decode --pixmap
We now set encode->allowed_sinkpad_caps to NULL if we fail to get
surfaces formats. This causes two problem:
1. gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps use NULL as its caps parameter,
which changes its behavior. It will use encode's sinkpad template
rather than empty caps to do the clip job. So even if we fail to set
allowed_sinkpad_caps, gst_video_encoder_proxy_getcaps can still return
valid caps.
2. We should just set the allowed_sinkpad_caps once. The NULL point
make the ensure_allowed_sinkpad_caps function works again and again.
Don't reset the can_dmabuf field. This restores the
close/reset logic that existed prior to commit
ca2942176b in regards to
dmabuf support.
Plugins only call gst_vaapi_plugin_base_set_srcpad_can_dmabuf
once during startup, but may need to reset the other private
fields multiple times during negotiation. Thus, can_dmabuf
should be exempt from the resets.

The old way make the one config for each profile/entrypoint pair,
which is not very convenient for description the relationship
between them. One profile may contain more than one entrypoints
to within it, so a set like data structure should be more suitable.

`info_to_pack.h264_slice_header` is always allocated by
gst_vaapi_feipak_h264_encode(), thus checking it to free it afterwards
in doesn't make much sense. But it requires to be free on the error
path.
There may be a null pointer dereference, or else the comparison
against null is unnecessary.
In gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_fei_encode: All paths that lead to this null
pointer comparison already dereference the pointer earlier
