Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- all typefind functions are in gst/typefind now
- more typefind functions then before
- some plugins might fail to compile now because I don't have them installed and they
a) require bytestream or
b) haven't had their typefind fixed.
Please fix those plugins and put the typefind functions into gst/typefind if they don't have dependencies
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
New mimetypes gone into effect today - this commit changes all old mimetypes over to the new mimetypes spec as described in the previous commit's document. Note: some plugins will break, some pipelines will break, expect HEAD to be broken or at least not 100% working for a few days, but don't forget to report bugs
Original commit message from CVS:
compatibility fix for new GST_DEBUG stuff.
Includes fixes for missing includes for config.h and unistd.h
I only ensured for plugins I can build that they work, so if some of them are still broken, you gotta fix them yourselves unfortunately.
Original commit message from CVS:
- if you don't know the timestamp, don't try to guess. Send an invalid one.
- use new macro GST_CLOCK_TIME_IS_VALID
- send the first buffer, too (funny that nobody noticed for ages, that we don't send the first audio buffer ever, no?)
Original commit message from CVS:
- Small speed improvements
- added id3 tag support
This is a POC for metadata notification, benefits of using gobject
properties and GstCaps are basically:
- GstCaps as boxed type (g_strdup_value_contents() etc works)
- g_object_notify to notify the app of (new/updated) metadata
- deep_notify to get easily pass metadata up in the pipeline
- GstCaps API for easy parsing of lists, strings, ints etc.
- GstCaps mime type to describe the type of metadata (ID3 tags,
standard Gst tags etc)
- easy method of setting metadata on objects/pads (for encoders)
Original commit message from CVS:
- Expose some object properties as enums
- implement format/eventmask/querytype getters
- implement more efficient seeking with the new getters
Original commit message from CVS:
add ranks only for plugins who participate in autoplugging. If you have a file that used to autoplug but doesn't anymore, then let me know or add a rank to the missing element.
