For some hevc 10bit 4K encoding cases, the encoding process may be
slow, and MediaSDK surface can't be released in time before one other
available surface is needed. So add an extra surface for hevc encoding
to avoid this issue.
If the last flow was not GST_FLOW_OK, the encoding thread is not running
and there is nothing to pop from GAsyncQueue (this causes deadlock).
To prevent deadlock, just return the handle_frame without further encoding
process if the last flow was not GST_FLOW_OK. Note that the last flow
will be cleared per FLUSH_STOP and STREAM_START event.
The hard-coded upper bound 32 (or 48 depending on resolution) might waste
GPU memory and high resolution encoding causes OUT-OF-MEMORY allocation error
quite easily. This commit calculates the number of required pre-allocated
device memory based on encoding options and it can reduce the amount of device memory
used by nvenc.
NVDEC driver always uses input timestamp without adjustment
even if bframe encoding was enabled.
So DTS can be larger than PTS when bframe was enabled.
To ensure PTS >= DTS, we should adjust the timestamp manually
based on the PTS difference between the first
encoded frame and the second one. That's also the maximum PTS/DTS
difference.
To support rc-lookahead and bframe encoding, nvenc needs one more
staging queue, because NvEncEncodePicture can return NV_ENC_ERR_NEED_MORE_INPUT
but which was not considered so far.
As documented by NVENC programming guide, pending buffers should wait
other inputs until NvEncEncodePicture returns success.
New encoding flow is
- Submit raw picture buffer to encoder with NvEncEncodePicture
- The submitted input/output buffer pair will be queued to pending_queue
- If NvEncEncodePicture returned success, then move all pair in pending_queue
to final stage
- Otherwise, wait more input raw pictures.
Another change is dropping NV_ENC_LOCK_INPUT_BUFFER usage.
So now nvenc always uses CUDA memory input buffer. As a result,
both opengl and system memory handling are unified.
* The number of iteration is always one so the iteration is useless
and that makes code complicated.
* Also defining named structure can code mroe readable.
* g_free is null safe
New rate-control modes are introduced (if device can support)
* cbr-ld-hr: CBR low-delay high quality
* cbr-hq: CBR high quality
* vbr-hq: VBR high quality
Also, various configurable rate-control related properties are added.
Introducing new dynamic class between GstNvBaseEncClass and
each subclass to be able to access device specific properties and
capabilities from each subclass implementation side.
Add new macro for sink/src pad template to ensure no DMABuf caps
features are exposed on Windows. Some DMABuf caps features
were not handled by the commit 9ec62418c3
gst_buffer_make_writable() requires exclusive reference to the
GstMemory so the _make_writable() for the msdk buffer will result
to fallback system memory copy, because the msdk memory were initialized
with GST_MEMORY_FLAG_NO_SHARE flag.
Note that, disable sharing GstMemory brings high overhead but actually
the msdk memory objects can be shared over multiple buffers.
If the memory is not shareable, newly added GstAllocator::mem_copy will
create copied msdk memory.
Sometimes a HEVC/H265 stream doesn't have a valid profile but MSDK can
handle this stream. Like vaapih265dec, msdkh265dec may advertise the sink
caps without profile
DecodedOrder was deprecated in msdk-2017 version, but some customers
still use this for low-latency streaming of non-b-frame encoded streams,
which needs to output the frame at once
Asking decklink to render audio data seems to be based entirely on
the sample counts which completely disregards the timestamps
we pass to decklink. As a result, we need to explicitly check
for late buffers and drop them ourselves.
Do not restrict allowed maximum resolution depending on the
initial resolution. If new resolution is larger than previous one,
just re-init encode session.
Due to uncleared last flow, decoding after seek was never possible
(last_ret == GST_FLOW_FLUSHING).
nvdec dose not need to keep track of the previous flow return,
and actually the interest is data/even flow of the current handle_frame().
Implementing ::negotiate() method to support runtime output format
change. If downstream was reconfigured, baseclass will invoke
::negotiate() method, and nvdec should update output memory
type depending on downstream caps.
Input stream might be silently changed without ::set_format() call.
Since nvdec has internal parser, nvdec element can figure out the format change
by itself.
Register openGL resource only once per memory. Also if upstream
provides the registered information, reuse the information
instead of doing it again. This can improve performance dramatically
depending on system since the resource registration might cause
high overhead.
Introduce GstCudaGraphicsResource structure to represent registered
CUDA graphics resources and to enable sharing the information among
nvdec and nvenc. This structure can reduce the number of resource
registration which cause high overhead.
For openGL interoperability, nvdec uses cuGraphicsGLRegisterImage API
which is to register openGL texture image.
Meanwhile nvenc uses cuGraphicsGLRegisterBuffer API to registure openGL buffer object.
That means two kinds of graphics resources are registered per memory
when nvdec/nvenc are configured at the same time.
The graphics resource registration brings possibly high overhead
so the registration should be performed only once per resource
from optimization point of view.
Both g_list_delete_link and g_list_remove remove an element and free it,
so l->next is invalid (catched by valgrind) after calling g_list_delete_link
or g_list_remove
Returning MFX_WRN_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM means MSDK detects some
incompatible parameters but it is resolved, and we may not regard
MFX_WRN_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_PARAM as a fatal error. In this fix,
GST_FLOW_OK is returned but with a warning message so that a pipeline
may run to the end.

video-direction property is common property in gstreamer. In addition,
both mirroring & rotation properties are marked as deprecated,
video-direction will override mirroring & rotation properties when they

gst_msdkdec_finish_task() may release all frames in
GstVideoDecoder object. In this case, allocate_output_buffer()
cannot get the oldest frame to allocate buffer.
So gst_msdkdec_handle_frame() should return GST_FLOW_OK for
letting gst_video_decoder_decode_frame() to send a new frame
for decoding.
