Make sure that an event resulting from the seek happens before removing
the pad probe, dropping anything while it is not the case.
This guarantees that the seek happens before `nlesource` outputs
anything. This was not necessary as with decodebin or usual source
flushing seeks lead to synchronous flush_start/flush_stop and we could
safely assume that once the seek is sent, it was happenning.
With nested `nlecomposition` this assumption is simply not true as
in the composition seeks are basically cached and happen later in
the composition updating thread.
This fixes races where we ended up removing the blocking probe before
the seek actually started to be executed in the nlecomposition
nested inside an nlesource which leaded to data from *before* the seek
to be outputed which means we could display wrong frames,
and it was leading to interesting deadlocks.
Seeks that lead to a stack change lead to deactivating the current
stack. At that point we explicitely flush downstream as a reaction to
the flushing seek. Until now those flushes had a random seqnum, this
fails if we are a nested compostion as the parent composition will end
up dropping that flush which in turns might lead to deadlocks. For
example, the flush goes through a `compositor` which wants to flush
downstream to stop its srcpad task, but that flush wouldn't have
"released" its srcpad thread if the composition srcpad drops it, meaning
it won't be able to stop the task ever.
Otherwise if we shutdown a composition whith an nested composition
(inside a source in the test) and leak it, we end up with the nested
composition task still running (in READY) which is bad.
Add a test for that which leaks the pipeline on purpose.
First marshilling it to the main thread is dangerous as it is a blocking
operation and it should never happen there.
The asset cache is MT safe now so it is possible to load the timeline
from that thread directly
Making sure to have 1 GstDiscoverer per thread.
Use that new feature in gesdemux by loading the timeline directly from
the streaming thread. Modifying the timeline is not supported allowed
anyway.
In the case of nested timeline in the toplevel timeline we ended up
with CompositionUpdate for seeks sent by our own composition to
granchildren composition. This was not causing essential issues
if all tracks where containing nested timelines but in cases
where one of the tracks only had a nested timelines, then we
were waiting forever for a `CompositionUpdateDone`.
CompositionUpdate translated into ASYNC_START/ASYNC_DONE should
be kept inside the GESTimeline and not travel up (possibly to some
parent GESTimeline).
This means we can use some newer features and get rid of some
boilerplate code using the G_DECLARE_* macros.
As discussed on IRC, 2.44 is old enough by now to start depending on it.
For smptealph element to work as expected the following compositing
element should mix with the default "over" operator, as described
in its documentation.
