Reduce start-capture workload by moving the elements' state reseting to the
finishing steps of the capture. This reduces the time start-capture takes to
actually start a capture and return to its caller, improving user experience.
As the elements' state reset is now triggered from the message handling
function, it needs to spawn a new thread, changing state from the pad's
task would cause a deadlock.
Adds a new variable to keep track of the state of the video
recording in camerabin2. This allows start-capture to reject
new video recording requests when one is already ongoing. This
fixes one of check tests.
Rename the image taglists' mutex into image capture mutex and
use it also for the image capture list to prevent concurrent
access from different threads (application and capture threads).
Do not store preview location is post-previews is false, this would
mess up preview naming in case application switches between enabling
and disabling previews
Tags are currently sent from start-capture, which is run in the
application thread. For images we can delay the tags pushing to the
buffer probe and push the tags with the location event and reduce
start-capture time.
Some messages might be interesting to applications, so we can only
decrement the processing counter and send the idle notification
when those messages are posted on the pipline's bus
Generating and posting preview image always comes with a performance
penalty so set default value as false. The preview-caps property that
defines the preview image format is also NULL by default, so instead
of generating preview image of unspecified format by default explicit
action from application should be required for enabling preview image
posting feature.
Application also has to add custom code to be able
to handle preview messages on its message handling function anyway.
This is probably the cause for an occasional crash while streaming
MPEG. Blind fix after staring at the code and following logic, so
may or may not fix the issue, I cannot test.
Makes camerabin2 only signal that it is idle after all previews have
been generated, images are captured and saved, and videos have
been finished properly.
Only access the preview location if it exists, to avoid acessing
a NULL variable. If the preview location list doesn't exist, it is
likely because the source has posted a preview message after camerabin2
has been put to READY.
The preview filename list is acessed whenever a new capture is started, when
camera-source posts a new preview message or on state changes. All of those can
occur simultaneously, so add a mutex to prevent concurrent access.
Since the seeking byte offset is chosen by linear interpolation
from SCR values, we need to take that first SCR into account
to end up near the correct offset. Otherwise, as the code does
a linear search after that first seek, it will take a LOOOOOONG
time to get there for streams which don't start at zero.

Makes camerabin2 intercept preview-image messages and add
the filename corresponding to the message structure in the
'location' field.
Makes easier for applications to track preview images
Setting the audio source to NULL just after pushing the EOS event
on it could potentially cause loss of said EOS event. Instead, we
can set the audio source to NULL when ready-for-capture is
signalled and the boolean value is true as this indicates we are
not currently capturing video.
header_length contains the length in bytes after the header_length
field, excluding the 6 byte start code and header_length field.
H.264 streams and some other formats need to be announced in the PSM.
VLC wouldn't play files created with mpegpsmux containing H.264 because
we claim the system header is larger than it actually is, which makes
VLC skip the program stream map which follows the system header, which
in turn makes it not recognise our H.264 video stream.
VP8 uses a probabilistic bool coder, not a straight bit coder.
This fixes parsing when error-resilient is set.
This commit includes a copy of libvpx's bool coder, BSD licensed.
