Original commit message from CVS:
GST_DEBUG reorganization
This is a big diff (ca 450k), containing loads of stuff:
- gstinfo.[ch] complete rewrite
- changing of all GST_DEBUG messages to reflect that change
- reorganization of subsystem disabling
- addition of gstconfig.h.in so we can track the disablings
- <gst/gst.h> does not include <unistd.h> and <config.h> anymore
- documentation updated for gstinfo stuff (build the docs yourself to know what changed)
- bugfixes for making of the docs (files from CVS are not deleted anymore
- testsuite for debugging changes in testsuite/debug
expect breakage
Original commit message from CVS:
Add patch for better buffering (especially useful for network streaming), see #108268 - kudos go to janzen@pixelmetrix.com
Original commit message from CVS:
Ouch: gst_element_dispose does a state change to NULL. Change the state to NULL yourself if you dispose plugins that reference some of the freed memory on state changes.
This is probably broken in lots of cases.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Proxy the get_caps function slightly differently. This is potentially
dangerous as it works quite differently. My tests seem to work though and
it fixes the play-multi-file-segfault in the player.
Original commit message from CVS:
Provide intrastructure to not have to pass NULL buffers on errors and
interrupts, this should fix some issues with the optimal scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Make the return GList of gst_element_get_pad_list as const
- Pad scheduler refactoring
- Remove gst_pad_set/unset_scheduler as it's not needed
- Reimplement gst_pad_get_scheduler using the parent scheduler
- Remove gst_pad_peek as it cannot work reliably
- Remove the pad bufpen, replace with scheduler private gpointer
- Make queue use the new _get_scheduler implementation
- Remove _pad_unset_scheduler from GstScheduler
- Remove LOOP_SEEK mode from aggregator
- Other fixes for API changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed bufferpool code and move that to gstbuffer.c
- implemented refcounting on GstData
- implemented new buffer code based on Company's work in the EVENTS2 branch
- added boxed types for GstData/GstEvent/GstBuffer/GstBufferPool
- added refcounting to bufferpools and events
- use lockfree allocation for buffers
- simplified the clock, use lockfree allocation
- use GQueue in GstQueue for faster access to the tail element
- update core plugins to the new event API
Original commit message from CVS:
Whan the buffer is filled, the buffer is kept and added to the queue
when there is room again. Don't do this after a flush.
Original commit message from CVS:
put upstream events in an async queue and resend them at the start of the chain. not working as expected yet but a start
Original commit message from CVS:
add an optional timeout for when queue blocks. when timeout is reached a GST_EVENT_FILLER is sent downstream
This is needed for gst-player since videosink has to be in the same thread as the ui, and spider blocks when there is no video (thus freezing the ui).
Original commit message from CVS:
Created an overridable method for seeking on an element, along with a default
implementation.
make queue flush on discont (not entirely correct)
removed the new_media from the discont event.
Original commit message from CVS:
- The clock_wait now returns the difference between requested time and
unlock time.
- Misc defines like GST_SECOND in gstclock.h
- remove pre/post in gstelement.c until fixed.
- added release_locks to gstelement so that the element can unlock itself
- added some more predefined events.
- added folowing functions to gstpad:
- convert function: get the relation between formats on this pad
- query function: get stats about the pad (position/total/latency)
- internal connect function: find out how this pad connects to other
pad internally to the element.
- generic pad_dispatcher.
- removed the last bits of pullregion
- use release_locks on the queue.
- added some events to queue
- make gstthread use the new release_locks function
- make the scheduler use the new clock_wait functions
- added events to fakesink
- added query functions to filesrc
- swap type and offset in the bytestream seek API to match fseek
- added some event handling in bytestream.
Original commit message from CVS:
* a hack to work around intltool's brokenness
* a current check for mpeg2dec
* details->klass reorganizations
* an element browser that uses details->klass
* separated cdxa parse out from the avi directory
Original commit message from CVS:
- Remove the propsprivate header file
- Added new API for properties.
- Moved the clock distribution to the scheduler.
- Removed the lock from GstCaps
- Added boxed types for Caps/Props
- Simplified the clock, new systemclock implementation
- Removed deprecated element_info/send_event functions
- First step at exposing more info in the pad_connect functions
- Queue cleanup
- Make the scheduler aware of other schedulers inside it
- Added the _SELF_SCHEDULABLE flag to gstthread
- Removed _get_widget from _utils, changed to new props API
- Make fakesink sync on timestamps when requested
- Removed the offset notify from filesrc
- Added a fast scheduler
- some scheduler cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
Landed the new improved capsnegotiation system.
The main idea is to keep track of the possible data types that can
pass through a connection. plugins can at any time inspect, adjust and
refine these caps. plugins also get notified when something changes to
the types so that they can reconfigure themselves.
Look at the updated plugins and the soon to be finished doc.
Original commit message from CVS:
summary: fix xml in gstreamer
1) make clear distinction between loading xml that actually creates objects and loading xml that just
synchronizes properties with objects. moved most of gst_element_restore_thyself functionality to
gst_xml_make_element. this new function name can change if it sucks.
2) many various fixes. createxml and runxml work now.
3) doc updates.
4) GstSignalObject is stil broken. i have no idea what it's supposed to do.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed deprecated buffer flags.
- removed gst_element_signal_eos, replaced with gst_element_set_eos
to set the object to PAUSED, signal an eos event etc..
- small updates to documentation
- repair some plugins
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added a function to get the currently executing cothread
- Removed some useless includes
- _interrupt now returns a boolean so the behaviour after the interrupt
can be controlled by the scheduler.
- Added a better way to set/get the default scheduler.
- make thread and pipeline get the default scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
Better, cleaner state management of the scheduler by adding scheduler state
flags.
typefind has to interrupt instead of yield.
Fix a leak in the queue when it's dropping buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Reclaim cothread state even if the cothread was never activated after
the free.
- fix the bin state change when there are no more children.
- use a real method to signal the parent bin of a state change.
- move the state change policy in the scheduler.
- remove the unused and ridiculous state change event
- don't free the cothread state when the element is disabled. only free it
when the element is removed from the scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
cothread cleanup.
- removed some old code.
- ran the thing through indent
- rename cothread_init/free to cothread_context_init/free
- implement cothread_free/destroy to clear the cothread_state slot
- make cothread_init reuse empty slots.
minor cleanups in error reporting (gstpad, gstelement)
code cleanup in gstthread
make unexpected state changes in gstthread less fatal
free the cothread_state in the scheduler.
This one passes all the current cvs testcases including dynamic-pipeline.
