Original commit message from CVS:
add initial version of gdkpixbuf loader for gtk that is capable of loading AVI and mpeg videos as GdkPixbufAnimation. I'm not sure if such a thing would be useful or too much trouble, so I'll throw it at enough testers to figure it out ;) We might want to disable it by defualt though in the future. (Currently there is not even a configure switch implemented to disable it.)
This includes a fix to not use GError in gstgdkpixbuf's typefind function and to only return GST_TYPE_FIND_MINIMUM when doing typefinding via gdk as this breaks quite a bit with the GStreamer loader installed.
Original commit message from CVS:
first bunch of conversions to new plugin_init. Includes libs/gst, gst/id3, sys/oss, ext/gnomevfs, gst/typefind and ext/mad.
You guessed it, everything Rhythmbox needs ;)
fixed BMP typefind and made gnomevfs one plugin instead of two while doing this
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:
Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins:
* a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio
work is underway here, but unfinished.
* A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to
the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for
GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox.
* Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty
basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now.
Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener'
that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other
windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's
needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements.
Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2
elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated!
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:
Add new element: frame dropper. This element inserts/drops frames to go from a certain input framerate to a certain output framerate. It's extremely simple and that's why it's so cute.
Original commit message from CVS:
Now set XVIDEO_LIBS only if the Xv library is found. Fixed matroska check
so that it doesn't stop the configure if it fails.
Original commit message from CVS:
A big rewrite of the spec file and some ffmpeg disting fixes. The ffmpeg plugin still doesn't build for me, but I think I am getting close :)
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:
Plugins cleanup:
* stereo2mono, mono2stereo, int2float, float2int: replaced by audioconvert.
* stereosplit replaced by oneton.
* vumeter replaced by level (and was broken anyway).
* avifile replaced by ffmpeg.
* mjpegtools duplicates functionality of jpeg. jpeg now works with jpeg-mmx,
too, which makes mjpegtools unneeded.
* allow for jpegmmx instead of jpeg.
* openquicktime replaced by qtdemux and ffmpeg. Broken anyway.
* XMMS is broken and will never be fixed.
* vga is broken and will not be fixed anywhere soon.
* videosink has never worked. If it works, add it back to replace xvideosink.
Original commit message from CVS:
* caps refcounting fixes for float2int
* fixed wrt setting of caps on int pad with dynamic number of sink pads in float2int
* added libsndfile plugin (currently only the src is implemented) - currently only float output, noninterleaved is implemented
Original commit message from CVS:
Corrected the configure.ac so it actually works. Updated some c files
so that they build on Solaris. This mostly involved supporting ISO
style variable-argument macros.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated autogen.sh/configure.ac and various Makefiles to make the
configure script set up all gcc specific compiler arguments, rather
than hardcoding them in the Makefile.am files
Original commit message from CVS:
Adds divx/xvid encoders.
* divx encoder is based on divx4linux (commercial, closed-source)
* xvid encoder is based on xvidcore (http://www.xvid.org/, GPL - Christian? ;) )
Both use a GstCaps that doesn't conform with what we currently use, I might fix that later on or so. For now, it doesn't matter, it's just a test. We're also missing corresponding decoders (ffmpeg can decoded this too, but that's not the point), these might come later too.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added initial version of audioconvert, a generic converter of integer audio/raw formats.
It currently supports conversion of
- channels (mono/stereo only, until someone tells me how to mix other channels)
- endianness (little/bi endian)
- signedness
- width (8, 1, 24 and 32 bits)
- depth (1 - width bits)
missing:
- enough testing (I intend to write a testsuite for this, but that's pending)
- samplerate conversion
- other goodies like format conversion etc
Expect bugs when using it.
problems this should solve:
- encoding wav files on big endian machines
- goom working with mono audio files in gst-player
- Iain's soundcard (that one is a problem in itself)
- complaints about missing conversion
- too many age old, nearly unmaintained plugins (stereo2mono etc.)
Have fun.
Original commit message from CVS:
Port some changes from 0.6.0/0.6.1 back to HEAD (.pc files moved to pkg-config/, .m4 file moved from plugins to core)
Original commit message from CVS:
add FreeBSD patches from Andrew Turner and add missing ivorbis m4 to cvs, also disable ivorbis plugin as the test mistakes ordinary vorbis for tremor
Original commit message from CVS:
another batch of connect->link fixes
please let me know about issues
and please refrain of making them yourself, so that I don't spend double
the time resolving conflicts
Original commit message from CVS:
drop mpeg2dec 0.2.1 support in favor of 0.3.0.
keeping old code around in cvs for a while just in case someone needs it.
