Refactor calling the GETCAPS function and checks.
Move the filter code in one place.
When using fixed pad caps, get the currently configured caps and then fallback
to the GETCAPS function. We used to simply ignore the GETCAPS function, which
resulted in transform elements returning the template caps instead of doing the
caps transform.
Always forward all events in the default handler. Previously it used to not
forward caps events by default. It makes more sense to forward the caps events,
if the element is interested in the caps, it will implement an event handler to
retrieve the caps and then it can decide to forward or not. If the element has
no event handler, it probably just doesn't care about caps and it probably is
also not going to modify the data in a way that needs a caps change.
Rename gst_pad_dispatcher() to gst_pad_forward() and make it more useful by
iterating the internal links of a pad and handling resync properly.
Add a method gst_pad_event_forward() that unconditionally forwards an event to
all internally linked pads.
Update some pad code to use the new forward function.
Optimize linking by only releasing the pad locks when there are link functions
installed on the pads.
Add some G_LIKELY here and there.
Move error paths out of the main code flow.
Keep track of installed number of probes to shortcut emission.
Allow NULL callbacks, this is useful for blocking probes.
Improve probe selection based on the mask, an empty mask for the data or the
scheduling flags equals that all probes match.
Add some more debug info.
Don't check the flushing flag in the probe callback handler, this needs to be
done before calling the handler.
Fix blocking probes.
Fix unit tests
Make the PadBlock callback take a GstBlockType parameter to handle the different
kind of stages in the pad block. This provides for more backwards compatibility
in the pad block API.
Separate blocking and unblocking into different methods, only blocking can do a
callback, unblock is always immediately. Also removed synchronous blocking, it
can always be implemented with a callback.
Make pad block call the callback as soon as the pad is not in use. This makes it
possible to make sure that when the callback is called, no activity is happening
on the pad and that no activity will ever happen until the pad is unblocked
again. This makes pad blocking work when there is no dataflow or after EOS and
greatly helps dynamic pipelines.
Move the probe handling right where we wait on the pad block. The two are
related but not the same and the probe can eventually influence the pad
blocking as we'll se later.
Fix up some broken unit tests or tests that fail with the new behaviour.
Rework _push_event() a little so that it drops events on blocking pads.
Make sure that events are forwarded when we unblock.
Add counter on the pad to keep track of busy pads.
Implement a default buffer-list function in case the element doesn't implement
one.
Also pass buffer-lists to the have-data signal, this allows us to remove some
backward compatibility code.
Change the sticky event array so that it contains a pending and an active event.
Events on the sinkpad are copied to the pending array and after the eventfunc
returned TRUE, moved to the active event. This allows us to queue new events
like when we do per-pad offsets without removing the currently active event.
Remove the active argument from the gst_pad_get_sticky_event() method, the
pending events are not something we want to expose.
When linking pads and when copying a segment event from the sourc pad to the
sinkpad, apply the src and sinkpad offsets to the segment base. Make sure that
we only modify the event stored on the sinkpad and never the one on the source
pad.
When changing the pad offset, perform the segment copy with the updated offsets.
When pushing a segment event, apply the srcpad offset before sending the event
to the peer pad.
This part is missing the adjustment of the segment event on the sinkpad, which
is for a later patch.
Add methods to adjust the offset. This will be used to change the segment events
with an offset so that we can tweak the timing of the stream on a per-pad base.
First store the sticky event on the sinkpad in the inactive state, then check
for the flushing flag. We want to have the events on sinkpads at all times,
ready to be activated when the pad becomes active.
Make a function to call the eventfunc and perform a caps check when we are
dispatching a caps event.
This makes sure that all code paths correctly check that the caps are
acceptable before sending the caps to the eventfunction.
