Original commit message from CVS:
More massive changes to the scheduling system. Moved the scheduling code
to gstscheduler.[ch], so an child bin can replace the scheduler.
Introduced the concept of chains, which are subsets of the list of managed
elements for a given manager bin, which get scheduled as separate entities.
gst_bin_iterate_func should be pretty much fixed now, the scheduling code
gets to do all the hard work.
Cothreaded case work in the couple tests I've tried, chained is next.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of editor changes:
- restucturing of object creation
- loading of xml files
- visual eye candy: color changes on mouseover
- active object is indicated
- property box changes for boolean and enum types
- property box: create properties per element
- show pads/caps in propertybox
added gst_util_get_bool_arg in gstutils.c
added default properties for audiosink
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive scheduling changes (again). Not entirely complete, but getting
closer. Need to think about various scheduling plans that we might want
to produce, and figure out the rules for what is legal, and how to get
the results we need as far as the plan.
Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Snapshot of work-in-progress do deal with out-of-bin elements. Current
system is very likely going to be ditched due to its complexity and the
fact that it doesn't work right now. More than that, it's generating some
really odd results in my test program, which aren't readily explainable.
If you want to keep a working copy of your working copy (heh), don't update
until this is replaced with a hybrid approach. This approach will be the
beginning of a plan generator that can construct full hybrid schedules
given hints from various places.
Hybrid means that cothreads are used, but there are chunks of the pipeline
that are actually dealt with by chaining. This can improve speed by
reducing cothread switches (which are much cheaper than thread switches,
but still far from free, about 570 cycles on my PIII), but does carry a
complexity burden. Luckily, the structure of GStreamer allows that burden
to live entirely in create_plan. Luck? I think not ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Changes to gstreamer-config to include gtk+ libs
manual changes: queues, threads, programs
gsteditor does not crash anymore.
gstpipline new should return a GstElement *
fixed ac3dec for new getbits
fixes to gstreamer-launch
more efficient startup for gstplay.
Original commit message from CVS:
A first (rude) attempt at autoplug.
Autoplugging selects appropriate codecs to connect src to sink, adds
them to the pipeline and connect pads.
Autoplugging will run the typedetect plugin if the src pad has no MIME
type.
No autoplugging is done on the src and sink pads, it's hardcoded:
connect 'src to sink'.
No attempt at creating threads.
No attempt at dynamically autoplugging not yet existing pads.
Changes to (some) plugins to properly set their MIME types.
Original commit message from CVS:
Megapatch, changes which states are available, how they're used, and how
they're set. Also modifies the scheduling system, breaking pulled
buffers. Check mail archives for more details.
