Original commit message from CVS:
first phase of spider cleanup
- get rid of the buffer cache for type finding
- do type finding within spider identity instead of in seperate element
- currently doing type finding with the first buffer only. will eventually merge buffer until there is "enough" data to typefind with
- spider now only has 1 sink instead of many. I don't believe it would be possible to mux with spider anyway
- if type finding fails, gst_element_error is called. Its up to the app to catch the error signal and stop the pipeline
Original commit message from CVS:
Add an event function so that seek events are not forwarded when we
have a cache, seeking in the cache still needs to be implemented though..
Original commit message from CVS:
a couple of fixes here:
- forward eos events to all src pads, even if spider didn't connect them. this ensures that the pipeline will stay in a consistant state even when not all pads are sent data
- don't check for nonnull spider until it is actually needed. it really is null when it has been disposed and this method is called.
Original commit message from CVS:
commit to make gstreamer follow the gtk function/macro naming conventions:
GstPadTemplate <-> gst_pad_template <-> GST_PAD_TEMPLATE
and the same for *factory and typefind.
Original commit message from CVS:
* warning fixes
* gst_object_set_name (name, NULL) uniquifies the name globally
- needs robusticizing
* gst_elementfactory_make can now take NULL as a second argument
Original commit message from CVS:
major rewrite of the spider.
Now uses GstSpiderConnection to track current connections and remember the way they're plugged.
Advantages of this approach:
- function prototypes are now much cleaner.
- Allow event propagation (EOS) to elements that are not connected but plugged.
- Allow deconstruction of plugged pipes. (not implemented)
Disadvantage:
- I screwed up naming (always get src and sink the wrong way). It's very inconsistent in the gstspider.[ch] files
- a little more time and memory are needed to manage the structs
Original commit message from CVS:
- use autoplugging instead of predefined way on sometimes pads
- exchange plugtype with factories in the spider
- revamp the spider, now messier than before...
- bugfixing
- style corrections
