Original commit message from CVS:
Fix some clocking issue in OSS. The issue is that if we seek forward (note: specifically forward-only), then we call handle_discont() before re-setting the clock to active. However, gstclock.c tells us that handle_discont only succeeds if allow_discont=TRUE, which is set in... set_active(TRUE). So, we first need to re-activate the clock and *then* call handle_discont(). More importantly, though, we should **NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER** **NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER** call clock_wait() after a forward discont without first having called handle_discont(). I don't know who added that code, but it's beyond fundamentally broken. clock_wait() **WAITS** until we're at the new given buftime, so if we do that on a forward-seek buffer, we... yes! we wait the amount of time that we seeked forward. Anyway, Apparently this code has been in here for quite a long time so I don't get how this can ever have worked...
Original commit message from CVS:
Remove ossgst... It's a crude hack (beyond ugly), it's broken and it failed to load during the last few months. If anyone wants to revive it, have fun finding it back in the CVS history
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a first attempt at a wrapper for the lib'ified mpeg2enc of
mjpegtools. Currently, there's a few release candidates for mjpegtools-1.6.2
available, but no stable version yet.
I've made 4 small subclasses to wrap input, output, options and generic
encoding model. The last .cc file is the GStreamer plugin element.
Note that it doesn't actually work yet, I'm doing something wrong with
header parsing and Andrew asked me to commit so he could help debugging
that. Apart from that, we should soon be able to make top-quality MPEG
encodes! :).
mpeg2enc licensing is tricky, btw, I don't even want to start discussing
that...
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed bug when filling tags in gstflacenc
Added merging support, and a mode which stops after outputting tags to flactag
Original commit message from CVS:
Adding a new plugin: switch.
It takes N input and only has 1 output. You can "switch" the forwarded input through properties ("nb_sources", "active_source") and i will probably add tuner interface support soon.
It should be able to handle any kind of data passing through it.
It is still a work in progress don't consider it usable for production yet.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added element to rewrite vorbiscomments embedded in flac files. It currently
doesn't honour the tag merge mode setting.
Changed application/x-flac to audio/x-flac in gstflacenc.c
Original commit message from CVS:
Riff, EBML, fourcc etc. work. Not fully finished, but better than
what we used to have and definately worth a first broad testing.
I've revived rifflib. Rifflib used to be a bytestream-for-riff, which
just dup'ed bytestream. I've rewritten rifflib to be a modern riff-
chunk parser that uses bytestream fully, plus adds some extra functions
so that riff file parsing becomes extremely easy. It also contains some
small usability functions for strh/strf and metadata parsing. Note that
it doesn't use the new tagging yet, that's a TODO.
Avidemux has been rewritten to use this. I think we all agreed that
avidemux was pretty much a big mess, which is because it used all
sort of bytestream magic all around the place. It was just ugly.
This is a lot nicer, very complete and safe. I think this is far more
robust than what the old avidemux could ever have been. Of course, it
might contain bugs, please let me know.
EBML writing has also been implemented. This is useful for matroska.
I'm intending to modify avidemux (with a riffwriter) similarly. Maybe
I'll change wavparse/-enc too to use rifflib.
Lastly, several plugins have been modified to use rifflib's fourcc
parsing instead of their own. this puts fourcc parsing in one central
place, which should make it a lot simpler to add new fourccs. We might
want to move this to its own lib instead of rifflib.
Enjoy!
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix v4l detection (it requires X, but X is detected after v4l, so this needed to be swapped). Also add X requirement to v4l2
Original commit message from CVS:
Apply patch from jesimon@libertysurf.fr (Jeremy SIMON) in #122368.
FLAC io functions should be called every time the encoder is initialized.
