playbin will now only activate the sinks in a single place and
will never change the states of any sinks that are owned by
playsink.
Also handle text-sinks the same way as audio/video sinks inside
playbin.
This makes sure the application gets any context related messages and
can do whatever is required to a) get the sink a context or b) share
the context with other elements in the pipeline.
The proxying is necessary because the sink is not a child element of
playbin, but instead will at a later point be a child of some bin
inside playsink.

Otherwise we're going to deadlock forever because no autoplugging
happens without having caps, but caps can never be send because
we're blocking.
Serialized queries before caps should never be sent unless really
necessary.
We found a case where untranslated values were being passed from the
proxy to the underlying channel, causing bad color balance values
in some setups.
Thanks to Sebastian Dröge for clarifying how the code works, and
suggesting the fix.

This allows to chose something else than input-selector
for multiple audio/video/text streams, e.g. an adder could
be used for audio.

Add the actual decoder/parser/etc caps at the very end to
make sure we don't cause empty caps to be returned, e.g.
if a parser asks us but a decoder is required after it
because no sink can handle the format directly.
Otherwise we will only block after the serialized, non-sticky event
after the CAPS event or the first buffer. If we're waiting for another
pad to finish autoplugging after we got final caps on this pad, it
will mean that we will let the ALLOCATION query pass although the
pad is not exposed yet.
Otherwise we accumulate more and more queue2 elements, and let each
of them start a thread doing nothing but waiting each time uridecodebin
goes to PAUSED.

This makes it possible to take advantage of the O(log n) lookups
of GSequence on the ~1000 element lists and only do iterations
on <10 element lists. Previously the code iterated over ~1000 element
lists multiple times.
Autoplug the decoder elements and sink elements based on
the number of common capsfeatures if the ranks are the same.
This will also helps to autoplug the h/w_decoder and h/w_renderer.

Remove the byte limit for adaptive http streaming. Because some fragments might
be very big, we might need a lot of buffering. I also suspect another problem
where data is actually missing and things go out of sync somehow.
When we disable buffering in the more upstream multiqueue elements,
we need to also update the queue limits. In particular, the max_size_time should
be set to 0 or else we might simply deadlock.
When we have a scenario of demuxers linked to demuxers, decodebin2
will create multiqueue at different levels of the pipeline. The problem
is that only the lowest multiqueue's should do the buffering messaging,
as they will handle with the raw streams data.
When all multiqueues are doing buffering, the upper ones can handle
large buffers that easily fill them, moving from 0% to 100% from
buffer to buffer, causing too much buffering messages to be posted.
This hangs the pipeline unnecessarily and might lead to deadlocks.
Decodebin2's chains store a next_groups list that was being handled as
it could only have a single element. This is true for most of the
chaining streams scenarios where streams change not very often.
In more stressfull changing scenarios, like adaptive streams, those
changes can happen very often, and in short time intervals. This could
confuse decodebin2 as this list was always being used as a single
element list.
This patches makes it handle as a real list, using iteration instead
of picking the first element as the correct one always.
Even if the chain hasn't been 'handled' in this switching round,
report it as drained so upper chains/groups know abou it.
This makes switching happen on upper levels of the groups/chain
trees
If a source element could be created for a URI, but all elements rejected
the URI for some reason, propagate the error from the URI handler instead
of reporting a 'no uri handler found for protocol xyz' error, which is
confusing. Fixes error reporting with dvb:// URIs when the channel config
file could not be found or not be parsed or the channel isn't listed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678892
Use a scheduling query to check if the source element has some
bandwidth limitations. If this is the case on-disk buffering might be
used. If the source element doesn't handle the scheduling query then
fallback to checking the URI protocol against the hardcoded list of
protocols known to handle buffering already.

Add all the caps that we can convert to to the filter caps,

When the input buffers for a stream don't have a duration set,
timestamp_end might still be GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE. When advancing
EOSed streams via GAP events (with other streams not yet EOS), we
would then use the invalid timestamp_end to calculate the duration
of the gap. This in turn would make baseaudiosink abort, because it
would try to allocate memory for a trizillion samples.
So if buffers don't have a duration set, assume a duration of
one second for stream catch-up purposes, just so we can still
continue to catch up in those cases. And make sure that
timestamp_end is valid before doing calculations with it.

There were two issues with the previous decodebin2 group switching algorithm:
Issue 1: It operated with no memory of what has been drained or not, leading to
multiple checks for chains/groups that were already drained.
Issue 2: When receiving an EOS, it only detected that a higher-level chain
was drained if it contained the pad receiving the EOS.
The following modifications have been applied:
- a new drained property has been added to GstDecodeChain
- both drained properties of chain/group are set as soon as they are detected
- the algorithm now tests agains these values

streams with non-TIME segments will not have timestamps ...

Fixes blocking issue when using playbin suburi feature
* Update outgoing segment.base with accumulated time, ensuring all
streams are synchronized.
* Only consider streams as "new" is they have a STREAM_START event
with a different seqnum.
* Use GstStream segment.base instead of separate variable to store
the past running time.
* Disable passthrough
* Switch to glib 2.32 GMutex/GCond
* Avoid getting pad parent the expensive way
* Minor other fixes
This allows the following use-cases to expose the group and pads
before an ALLOCATION query comes through:
* Single stream use-cases
* Multi stream use-cases where all streams sent the CAPS event before
the first ALLOCATION query
Some cases will still make the initial ALLOCATION query fail though,
which isn't optimal, but not fatal (it will recover when pads are
exposed, a RECONFIGURE event is sent upstream and elements can
re-send an ALLOCATION query which will reach downstream elements).

A caps event is also used to establish that a stream has prerolled.
Without this, we end up allowing negotiation queries to fail, ending
in decoders (and other elements) to not be configured right from the

For audio/video we should flush too for fastest stream switches but this
currently isn't possible because the flushes would need to go to the sink,

Sending a non-flushing seek might not be enough for switching
to an external sub that has already been used because the flushes
are needed to reset the state of its decodebin's queue.
For example, if the subtitle is short enough, the queue might get
and EOS and keep its 'unexpected' return state. If the user switches
to another subtitle and back to the external one, the buffers
won't get past the queue.
This patch fixes this by adding the flush flag to the seek and
preventing that this flush leaves the suburidecodebin.

The sinkpads are unblocked when going from PAUSED->READY, we need to block them

Adds a property for playsink to define how it should handle
events sent in send_event function. The default is the same as
GstBin's, sending events to all internal sinks. There is also
mode-first, that will send to sinks until the one handles the
event successfully.

When the video sink is a fakesink, which does not implement the
navigation interface, playsink will drop the navigation command.
In this case, send to the video sink as a fallback. It breaks
the interface abstraction, but is better than just dropping the
navigation event.
We need to call the default query handler of the proxy pad because only that one
will forward the query to the target pad in case of the allocation query.
After a PAUSED->READY change the sink pads are currently not set to
blocking state. When the element is set back to PAUSED, the change will
be done asynchronously, but as the _pad_blocked_cb() callback is now not
called, the state change never completes.
Fix that by setting the sink pads to blocking state on a PAUSED->READY
change, which ensures that the _pad_blocked_cb() is called when needed
on any future READY->PAUSED change. The sink pads are already put to
blocking state on NULL->READY change, so this behavior is consistent.
Fixes bug #668097.
In order to allow for proper functionality when a decoder only supports
one instance at a time (dsp), we must block the demuxer pads when they
get created if they are not part of the active group, preventing buffers
from being sent to the decoder (and initializing it through setcaps),
then after we switch to a new group, we unblock the demuxer pads for
the active groups. In the callback for the unblock, we prune the old
groups, making sure the previous decoder instance is destroyed before
we push a buffer to the new instance.
Since caps are no longer 'shared' between two pads (but forwarded from
source pad to sink pad) we end up with the first chain pad not having
specified caps (i.e. typefind:src).
This solves the issues by getting the pad's peer caps.
It is not optimal since it will (for most demuxers) return the pad
template caps, which might contain non-fixed caps (ex : with
qtdemux "video/quicktime; video/mj2; audio/x-m4a; application/x-3gp")
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667337
... to avoid unnecessary spurious errors (upon e.g. shutdown).
If a real error is applicable in this unusual circumstance (missing other pad),
other (STREAM_LOCK protected) call paths can take care of that.
... to also properly indicate chain's endpad if no elements are in the
chain (due to the endpad being a raw demuxer pad, or one setup without
decoders since uridecodebin or higher up decided not to need those).
Previously we always used textoverlay for rendering the output of
a parser, now the same code as for the renderers is used and the
element with the highest rank is used.

This happens when the internal elements are added before any NEWSEGMENT
event arrived and in that case we shouldn't send a NEWSEGMENT event
to the internal elements at all. They will get the NEWSEGMENT event
from upstream later.
If the sink supports raw audio/video, we first check
if the decoder could output any raw audio/video format
and assume it is compatible with the sink then. We don't
do a complete compatibility check here if converters
are plugged between the decoder and the sink because
the converters will convert between raw formats and
even if the decoder format is not supported by the decoder
a converter will convert it.
We assume here that the converters can convert between
any raw format.
Fixes bug #665120.
After preroll the multiqueue limits are still set to the preroll
limits if use-buffering is set to TRUE. In that case we only want
time limits on the multiqueue if upstream is seekable.
Such streams were detected as seekable, as the query on the typefind
element was testing the m3u8 file listing the actual streams, and
not going through the demuxer(s).
We now check for seekability for each multiqueue following a demuxer,
so the query will flow through the elements which might prevent seeking.

The ghostpad acceptcaps functions are not valid in this case because
we don't only accept the caps accepted by the target but could also
insert converters. Fixes bug #663892.
This allows us to easily get ahold of all pads on a stream-topology message, including
pre-decoder ones, while "pad" only gives us access to the raw pads (as used by discoverer).
Set up targets on READY->PAUSED state change to passthrough by
default. This prevents the targets from being unset on the

This is made possible by filtering errors. This is required to let
harware accelerated element query the video context. The video context

supported or not.
Fixes bug #662330.
If the pad block never happens because there is no data flow at all, the
callback is never fired and the reference is never released. This causes a
reference cycle between the pad and element, so valgrind is not very vocal
about it (memory is still reachable).
The bins' getcaps was bypassing the inner elements, and thus
failing to account for the caps transformations they allow,
which caused YUV video pipelines to fail with ximagesink, which
does not support YUV, even though the convenience bin includes
a colorspace converter for just this purpose.

The fact that a decoder is not compatible with the fixed sink
is currently happenning in the case where we have hardware accelerated
video decoders on the system (especially vaapi elements that are actually plugged),
and the user is providing a sink that doesn't support the surface.
A simple example that shows how it used to crash on a system where gstreamer-vaapi
is installed:
gst-launch playbin2 video-sink=xvimagesink uri=/codec/supported/by/vaapi
What we are now doing in this case, is avoid using the accelerated
decoder and plug a "normal" decoder instead (if avalaible).
This commit doesn't handle the case where we have hardware accelerated
demuxing.

With unfixed caps we can't reliably decide if the final caps
are going to be "raw" (e.g. supported by a sink) or not.
We will get here again later when the caps are fixed.
If subdrained isn't initialized to FALSE then a chain might think
that its group is drained when in fact it's not and this can cause
a switch too early or even cause a deadlock.
This reverts commit b0b4e286c8.
We agreed that the previous (pre-.35) behaviour is broken and a bug and the
current behaviour is correct, deterministic and allows the application to
handle stuff properly while the old behaviour can't be handled properly by
applications and just worked in some applications by luck.
The solution to the problem that was solved by relying on the old, broken
behaviour would be, to make decodebin2/playbin2 more aware of decoders and
improve the autoplugging of decoders by considering the caps supported by the
sink instead of just using something with the highest rank.
See bug #656923.
Fixes regression since 0.10.33 where sinks that can cope with non raw
caps or custom caps are not autoplugged if there's a sink configured
with the properties video-sink and audio-sink which cannot handle
the stream. This change checks for compatibility on the configured one
and use it if success. Otherwhise it tries with the found factories.
This reverts commit a22faad18a. Instead
of disabling subtitles completelly when video stream have custom caps,
just let the sutbtileoverlay cope with them as now it's able to.
Implement handling of non raw video streams by avoiding colorspace
elements and autoplugging a compatible renderer if available. Fallback
to passthrough if no compatible renderer is found.

This is done by adding a capsfilter after every parser/converter that contains
all possible caps supported by downstream elements. A capsfilter is necessary
here because the decoder is only selected after the parser selected a format
and the parser can't know what downstream would support otherwise.
This reverts commit 105814e2c7.
The general consensus seems to be that we should revert this for
now. If such behaviour is desired, we should probably enable it
via a flag. And maybe use the scaletempo plugin instead.
