Add GstVaapiWindowClass::get_colormap() hook to help determine the
currently active colormap bound to the supplied window, or actually
create it if it does not already exist yet.
Add GstVaapiWindowClass::get_visual_id() function hook to help find
the best suitable visual id for the supplied window. While doing so,
also simplify the process by which an X11 window is created with a
desired Visual, i.e. now use a visual id instead of a Visual object.
Add a new generic helper function gst_vaapi_window_new() to create
a window without having the caller to check for the display type
himself. i.e. internally, there is now a GstVaapiDisplayClass hook
to create windows, and the actual backend implementation fills it in.
Add new generic helper functions gst_vaapi_texture_new_wrapped()
This is a simplification in view to supporting EGL.
Add gst_vaapi_display_has_opengl() helper function to help determining
whether the display can support OpenGL context to be bound to it, i.e.
if the class is of type GST_VAAPI_DISPLAY_TYPE_GLX.
Make gst_vaapi_display_get_display_type() return the actual VA display
type. Conversely, add a gst_vaapi_display_get_class_type() function to
return the type of the GstVaapiDisplay instance. The former is used to
identify the display server onto which the application is running, and
the latter to identify the original object class.
Record the underlying native display instance into the toplevel
GstVaapiDisplay object. This is useful for fast lookups to the

Add new generic helper functions gst_vaapi_texture_new_wrapped()

This is a simplification in view to supporting EGL.
GstVaapiTexture is a generic abstraction that could be moved to the
core libgstvaapi library. While doing this, no extra dependency needs
to be added. This means that a GstVaapitextureClass is now available
for any specific code that needs to be added, e.g. creation of the
underlying GL texture objects, or backend dependent ways to upload
a surface to the texture object.
Generic OpenGL data types (GLuint, GLenum) are also replaced with a
plain guint.

The VA/GLX interfaces are obsolete. They used to exist for XvBA, and

The gst_vaapi_texture_put_surface() function is missing a crop_rect

Note: from a user point-of-view, he should create the GstVaapiTexture
object with the cropped size. That's the default behaviour in software
decoding pipelines that we need to cope with.
This is an API/ABI change, and SONAME version needs to be bumped.

Add new gst_vaapi_surface_new_full() helper function that allocates
VA surface from a GstVideoInfo template in argument. Additional flags

- allocate linear storage (GST_VAAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_LINEAR_STORAGE) ;
- allocate with fixed strides (GST_VAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_STRIDES) ;
- allocate with fixed offsets (GST_VAAPI_SURFACE_ALLOC_FLAG_FIXED_OFFSETS).
Add new gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new() helper to wrap a surface into
a proxy. The main use case for that is to convey additional information
at the proxy level that would not be suitable to the plain surface.
Re-introduce a GST_VAAPI_ID_INVALID value that represents
a non-zero and invalid id. This is useful to have a value
that is still invalid for cases where zero could actually
be a valid value.
Make it possible to have all libgstvaapi backends (libs) access to a

Use the SEI pic_timing() message to track the pic_struct variable when

Fix gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_copy() to copy the view-id element, thus
fixing random frames skipped when vaapipostproc element is used in

When a DPB flush is required, e.g. at a natural and of stream or issued
explicitly through an IDR, try to detect any frame left in the DPB that
is interlaced but does not contain two decoded fields. In that case, mark
the picture as having a single field only.
This avoids a hang while decoding tv_cut.mkv.
Simplify the dpb_output() function to exclusively rely on the frame store
buffer to output, since this is now always provided. Besides, also fix
cases where split fields would not be displayed.
This is a regression from f48b1e0.
Cope with latest changes from codecparsers/h264. It is now required
to explicitly clear the GstH264PPS structure as it could contain
additional allocations (slice_group_ids).
Add new GstVaapiSurfaceProxy flag FFB, which means "first frame in
bundle", and really expresses the first view component of a multi
view coded frame. e.g. in H.264 MVC, the surface proxy has flag FFB
set if VOIdx = 0.
Likewise, new API is exposed to retrieve the associated "view-id".
Allow decoders to set the "one-field" attribute when the decoded frame
genuinely has a single field, or if the second field was mis-decoded but
we still want to display the first field.
Make sure to output the decoded picture, and push the associated
GstVideoCodecFrame, only once. The frame fully represents what needs
to be output, included for interlaced streams. Otherwise, the base
GstVideoDecoder class would release the frame twice.
Anyway, the general process is to output decoded frames only when
they are complete. By complete, we mean a full frame was decoded or
both fields of a frame were decoded.
Slightly optimize decoding process by submitting the current VA surface
for decoding earlier to the hardware, and perform the reference picture
marking process and DPB update process afterwards.
This is a minor optimization to let the video decode engine kick in work
earlier, thus improving parallel resources utilization.
Fix decoding of interlaced streams where a first field (e.g. B-slice)
was immediately output and the current decoded field is to be paired

Optimize the process to detect new pictures or start of new access
units by checking if the previous NAL unit was the end of a picture,
or the end of the previous access unit.
Add support for MVC streams with multiple SPS and subset SPS headers
emitted regularly, e.g. at around every I-frame. Track the maximum
number of views in ensure_context() and really reset the DPB size to
the expected value, always. i.e. even if it decreased. dpb_reset()
only cares of ensuring the DPB allocation.
Fix the compaction process when the DPB is cleared for a specific
view, i.e. fix the process of filling in the holes resulting from
removing frame buffers matching the current picture.
It is not necessary to periodically send SPS or subset SPS headers.
This is up to the upper layer (e.g. transport layer) to decide on
if/how to periodically submit those. For now, only generate new SPS
or subset SPS headers when the codec config changed.
Note: the upper layer could readily determine the config headers
(SPS/PPS) through the gst_vaapi_encoder_h264_get_codec_data() function.

Report sample aspect ratio (SAR) as present, and make it match what

Set the value of num_anchor_refs_l0, num_anchor_refs_l1, num_non_anchor_refs_l0,
and num_non_anchor_refs_l1 to zero since the inter-view prediction is not yet
supported.
When the seq_parameter_set_data() syntax structure is present in a subset
sequence parameter set and vui_parameters_present_flag is equal to 1, then
timing_info_present_flag shall be equal to 0 (H.7.4.2.1.1).
Submit Prefix NAL headers (nal_unit_type = 14) before every packed
slice header (nal_unit_type = 1 or 5) only for the base view. In non

is required, with an appropriate nal_unit_header_mvc_extension() in
the NAL header bytes.

of the current picture is needed.

Fix dpb_clear() to clear previous frame buffers only if they actually
exist to begin with. If the decoder bailed out early, e.g. when it

might not be allocated beforehand.
We can avoid scanning for start codes again if the bitstream is fed
in NALU chunks. Currently, we always scan for start codes, and keep
track of remaining bits in a GstAdapter, even if, in practice, we
are likely receiving one GstBuffer per NAL unit. i.e. h264parse with
"nal" alignment.

The `vaapipostproc' element could never determine if the H.264 stream
was interlaced, and thus always assumed it to be progressive. Fix the
H.264 decoder to report interlace-mode accordingly, thus allowing the
vaapipostproc element to automatically enable deinterlacing.
The packed slice header and packed raw data need to be paired with
the submission of VAEncSliceHeaderParameterBuffer. So handle them
on a per-slice basis insted of a per-picture basis.

Factor out the removal process of unused inter-view only reference
pictures from the DPB, prior to the possible insertion of the current
picture.
Ideally, the compiler could still opt for generating two loops. But
at least, the code is now clearer for maintenance.
Improve process for the removal of pictures from DPB before possible
insertion of the current picture (C.4.4) for H.264 MVC inter-view only
reference components. In particular, handle cases where picture to be
inserted is not the last one of the access unit and if it was already
output and is no longer marked as used for reference, including for
decoding next view components within the same access unit.
While invoking the DPB bumping process in presence of many views,
it could be necessary to output previous pictures that are ready,
in a whole. i.e. emitting all view components from the very first
view order index zero to the very last one in its original access
unit; and not starting from the view order index of the picture
that caused the DPB bumping process to be invoked.
As a reminder, the maximum number of frames in DPB for MultiView
High profile with more than 2 views is not necessarily a multiple
of the number of views.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-4.264.
Let the utility layer handle dynamic growth of the inter-view pictures
array. By definition, setting a new size to the array will effectively
grow the array, but would also fill in the newly created elements with
empty entries (NULL), thus also increasing the reported length, which
is not correct.
When decoding Multiview High profile streams with a large number of
views, it is not possible to make the VAPictureParameterBufferH264.
ReferenceFrames[] array hold the complete DPB, with all possibly
active pictures to be used for inter-view prediction in the current
access unit.
So reduce the scope of the ReferenceFrames[] array to only include
the set of reference pictures that are going to be used for decoding
the current picture. Basically, this is a union of all RefPicListX[]
array, for all slices constituting the decoded picture.
The inter-view reference components and inter-view only reference
components that are included in the reference picture lists shall
be considered as not being marked as "used for short-term reference"
or "used for long-term reference". This means that reference flags
should all be removed from VAPictureH264.flags.
This fixes decoding of MVCNV-2.264.
If the VA driver exposes ad-hoc H.264 MVC profiles, then we have to
be careful to detect profiles changes and not reset the underlying
VA context erroneously. In MVC situations, we could indeed get a
profile_idc change for every SPS that gets activated, alternatively
(base-view -> non-base view -> base-view, etc.).
An improved fix would be to characterize the exact profile to use
once and for all when SPS NAL units are parsed. This would also
allow for fallbacks to a base-view decoding only mode.
Exclusively use VA drivers that support raw packed headers for encoding.
i.e. simply submit packed headers Subset SPS and Prefix NAL units. This
provides for better compatibility accross the various VA drivers and HW
generations since no particular API is needed beyond what readily exists.
Since we are encoding each view independently from each other, we
need a higher number of pre-allocated surfaces to be used as the
reconstructed frames. For Stereo High profile encoding, this means
to effectively double the number of frames to be stored in the DPB.
Add initial support for Subset SPS, Prefix NAL and Slice Extension NAL
for non-base-view streams encoding, and the usual SPS, PPS and Slice
NALs for base-view encoding.
The H.264 Stereo High profile encoding mode will be turned on when the
"num-views" parameter is set to 2. The source (raw) YUV frames will be
considered as Left/Right view, alternatively.
Each of the two views has its own frames reordering pool and reference
frames list management system. Inter-view references are not supported
yet, so the views are encoded independently from each other.

Optimize lookups of view ids / view order indices by caching the result
of the calculatiosn right into the GstVaapiParserInfoH264 struct. This
terribly simplifies is_new_access_unit() and find_first_field() functions.
Add safe fallbacks for MVC profiles:
- all MultiView High profile streams with 2 views at most can be decoded
with a Stereo High profile compliant decoder ;
- all Stereo High profile streams with only progressive views can be
decoded with a MultiView High profile compliant decoder ;
- all drivers that support slice-level decoding could normally support
MVC profiles when the DPB holds at most 16 frames.
In order to have a stricter conforming implementation, we need to carefully
detect access unit boundaries. Additional operations could be necessary to
perform at those boundaries.
