And use it for the fraction comparisons in gstvalue.c instead
of using comparisons by first converting the fractions to double.
Should fix bug #628174.
API: gst_util_fraction_compare()
The problem with both macros is, that they suggest something that isn't true.
If GST_FLOW_IS_FATAL is true, there could still be a problem for many elements
and they should stop what they're currently doing and return that value
upstream (e.g. not-linked in a parser). If GST_FLOW_IS_SUCCESS is false, it
could still be that this is "ok" for the element (e.g. not-linked for a demuxer
on a few of its pads but not all).
It's better to not have these "convenience" macros but instead let people
*think* about the handling of different flow returns, that makes sense for
their element. And we should document the expected handling of flow returns for
different classes of elements in the plugin writer's guide.
Fixes bug #628014.
Adds GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA for representing arbitrary private
data that applications might want to store into tags. Exif/id3,

Fixes#626651
When there is a sink inside a bin, the SINK flag is set on the bin. When we are
trying to iterate the source elements, also include the bins with the SINK flag
because they could also contain source elements, in which case they are also a
source.
This solves the case where sending an EOS to a pipeline didn't get dispatched to
all source elements.
See #625597
gst_element_link_many does some magic and creates ghostpads
if needed, but it didn't set the newly created ghostpad to
active if needed. This patch fixes it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626784
This is not really necessary here because everything is
initialized from gst_init() already but using G_DEFINE_TYPE()
removes some copy&paste boilerplate code.
In gst_element_get_compatible_pad(), when trying to find a compatible pad on an
element for a given pad, there's no point in checking the element's sink pads
if the pad to link is a sink pad as well, or the element's source pads if the
given pad is a source pad already, since those would never be able to link
anyway. Should speed up linking using the convenience functions a little bit,
or at least reduce debug log output.
The logging is not an atomic operation and because of the multi-threading we end
up with out-of-order log lines. Tools that present the log-file should probably
resort the lines. This change just takes the timestamp a bit closer to the
actual logging.
gst_pad_proxy_getcaps() would return the pad template caps if the other side
returned empty caps or if the intersection of all the caps on the other side
was empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624203
g_printerr() used to do this for us. Also use libc's fprintf() functions,
to make sure the stderr pointer we use is actually compatible with the
libc linked against by GStreamer (which apparently may not always be the
same as what GLib is linked against on windows), and we don't need the
functionality ensured by g_fprintf().
Fixes#625295.
This is a string describing a date and/or date/time in a simple subset of
the ISO-8601 format, namely either "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ" (with
'T' the date/time separator and the 'Z' indicating UTC).
The main purpose of this field is to keep track of plugin and element versions
on an absolute timeline, so it's possible to determine which one is newer when
comparing two date time numbers. This will allow us to express 'replaces'-type
relationships betweeen plugins and element factories in future, even across
different modules and plugin merges or splits (source module version numbers
aren't particularly useful here, since they can only meaningfully be compared
within the same module). It also allows applications and libraries to reliably
check that a plugin is recent enough without making assumptions about modules
or module versions.
We use a string here to keep things simple and clear, esp. on the build system
side of things.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623040
This changes behaviour slightly in that we no longer output things
via g_printerr(), so any non-standard glib printerr handlers are no
longer called when GST_DEBUG is enabled. However, this seems not
really desirable in most cases anyway, and the GLib docs also say
that libraries should not use g_printerr() for logging.
Other stderr output (e.g. warnings, or application messages) will
of course not be captured in the log file this way.
GST_DEBUG_FILE=- will redirect debug output to stdout.
This is the same behaviour as if we had a pad template caps of
GST_CAPS_ANY on any of the pads (i.e. the actual check will be done
during caps negotiation).
Instead just check that the caps intersect with the pad template.
The elements should properly accept/refuse the caps in setcaps().
Shaves off calling the default implementation of acceptcaps which does
an expensive gst_pad_get_caps() (so if you have 50 of those elements in
a row, you'd be doing factorial(50) gst_pad_get_caps...).
Does not break any module unit test and most apps work fine.

Make sure clock->clockid is unreffed before clock->master.
gst_clock_id_unschedule (clock->clockid) tries to access clock->master. If
clock->master is unreffed before and it's deallocated, _unschedule could access
free'd memory.
They are actually *not* const functions because on architectures
without int128 instructions the parameters were changed.
gcc re-used the parameters on the stack for multiple calls though
and the changed parameters were used for the second call then.
Fixes bug #623003.
Add a minimal gst_xml_get_type() function, so that gobject-introspection doesn't
break the compilation if we're compiling with GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED defined or
--disable-loadsave having been passed to configure. Until someone figures out
a better way at least.
Since everything GstXML related has been deprecated, we can now skip the
libxml includes from the public headers when GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
defined.
See #463435.
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
This feature is primarily intended for use in plugin modules' unit tests.
Consider the following situation: gst-plugins-good is built against an
installed GStreamer core. An older version of gst-plugins-good is also
installed in that prefix, along with random other plugin modules. Now,
when doing 'make check' in the just-built gst-plugins-good tree, we
want to only load plugins from GStreamer core, gst-plugins-base, and
gst-plugins-good, but not random other modules (we don't want any unit
tests to fail just because some module in gst-plugins-bad has a broken
plugin_init, for example). Also, we want to only load gst-plugins-good
modules from the locally-built source tree, but not any of the older
gst-plugins-good modules installed. This is usually assured by loading
the ones in the source tree first (by adding that path first to the
right environment variables), but it gets tricky when plugins are
moved, removed, merged, or renamed, or the plugin filename changes.
Note that 'make check' should really work right without doing
'make install' or uninstalling the old gst-plugins-good package (or
any other gst-plugins-foo package) first.
Enter GST_PLUGIN_LOADING_WHITELIST. This environment variable may
contain source-package@path-prefix pairs separated by the platform
search path separator (G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S). The source package
and path prefix are separated by the '@' character. The path prefix is
entirely optional, as is the '@' separator if no path is given.
It is also possible to filter based on plugin names instead of the name
of the source-package by specifying one or more plugin names separated
by commas before the optional path prefix.
In short, the following match patterns are possible:
plugin1,plugin2@pathprefix or
plugin1,plugin2@* or just
plugin1,plugin2 or
source-package@pathprefix or
source-package@* or just
source-package
So for our gst-plugins-good unit test example above, we would set the
environment variable on *nix to something like this (will likely be a
relative path in practice):
gstreamer:gst-plugins-base:gst-plugins-good@/path/to/src/gst-plugins-good

The compare function should only unref the element if it's
not the matching element.
Also the FIXME in _fold() is not relevant because the ref/unref
happens in the fold function.
This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.

Just truncate and then fixate. We check for empty caps in the begin and a

So we don't crash when a muxer tries to add tags from two

Make sure we execute the same code path in git versions and in releases,

Right now deleyed set would only try for first set of children. We need to keep
trying to support arbitrary deep hierarchies (like in playbin2 with auto*sinks).
Also GstBin would need to actualy emit the child-added/removed signal as it
implements the iface. Fixes#613215.
prctl is supposed to take 5 arguments. It used to work with 2 arguments on some

This either must never happen (which makes sense in this case) and thus should
use assert() or we should use a traditional if (poll_data->message) return;
to avoid differnet behaviour of intenal api when compiling with
G_DISABLE_CHECKS.
This avoids creating empty caps and destroying them in the case of an error. We
also avoid double checking in other code path where we call the internal api.
See 8fe63000de for why having a TRUE/FALSE
return value is a bad idea.
I've scanned a few plugins and they generally get it wrong and aren't
unloadable when they return FALSE.
This is what can happen in a plugin_init function:
- An element based on GstBaseSink is registered
- Other elements fail to register
- The plugin_init function returns FALSE
Now if this the plugin is the first plugin to link against
libgstbase.so, it will have caused libgstbase.so to be loaded and static
strings from that library will have been added to gobject while
registering GstBaseSink.
So unloading the plugin will cause those strings to go stale and the
next plugin using GstBaseSink will crash. So we must not unload modules
after calling into them ever.

The alignment guaranteed by malloc is not always sufficient. E.g. vector
instructions or hardware subsystems want specifically aligned buffers. The
attached patch will use posix_memalign if available to allocate buffers.
The desired alignment can be set when running configure using the new
--with-buffer-alignment option.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"

Previous code treated "1/1yourmom" the same as "1/1" and "1wimsmom" the

If the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER environment variable is set, we should try
the scanner specified there first, to make sure the right scanner binary
is used for uninstalled setups and builds from source when there's
already an installed version.
We require threads to be supported in any case and defining this
will simplify the mutex, condition variable, etc. macros from gthread
to not always check if threads are really supported.
Fixes bug #607481.
For the reason outlined at the beginning of gst_private.h (inline
functions in glib may need the g_log_domain variable). Also include
gst_private.h before using any G_OS_* defines, esp. in plugin loader.
This check is not necesarry as we are not negotiating anymore. And it can
be wrong if upstream can't produce this caps anymore, but downstream can
process them fine.
All callers of this static function already check for NULL-ness
themselves, so no need to do it again (and if we do it, we should
probably do so before dereferencing the pointer for the first time).
Avoid checking the GType of the value twice (once on our side and
once in g_value_get_*()) by by-passing g_value_get() and accessing
the GValue structure directly.
Strings in the binary registry are NUL-terminated, so we can just use them
directly if we only need them temporarily, and avoid unnecessary mallocs
and frees.
No need to call gst_element_link_pads_filtered with filter=NULL, which would
call gst_element_link_pads() in that way. Call it directly to save a call and
expensive gobject type checks.
Fix up translated strings for some recently-added tags to match the
existing strings: we want short mnemonic-like strings here that start
with a lower case letter.
The only reason these two functions are still around is that at some
point in the past they were in a public header, so we can't really
remove them now even though they should have been private all along
(and aren't really particularly useful). Since these are just empty
stubs now that do nothing but return FALSE and will be removed in
0.11 anyway, we may just as well deprecate them formally.
Move the parent buffer pointer into the GstBuffer struct so that we can
remove the subbuffer class and type. This is interesting because it allows us to
more naturally implement methods to get the real type and parent
of a subbuffer (See #545501).
It should also be slightly faster because there is no extra object hierarchy to
initialize and free.
When we unblock a pad with the same user_data, the destroy callback is not
called. This leads to refcounting leaks that cannot be avoided. Instead always
call the destroy notify whenever we install a new pad block.
In particular, this fixes a nasty pad leak in decodebin2.
Also update the unit test to have more accurate comments and test the required
behaviour.
Adds the following new tags:
GST_TAG_SHOW_NAME
GST_TAG_SHOW_SORTNAME
GST_TAG_SHOW_EPISODE_NUMBER

GST_TAG_GROUPING

Setting an object name is nice for proper debug logging. Ideally this would
still happens earlier (.e.g when pads are added to an element, its not yet set).
Never skip the state change to playing, even if the element is already in the
right state. We need this because we also distribute the base_time while doing
the state change and skipping this step would leave some elements without a new
base_time.
Fixes#600313
gst_value_list_size and gst_value_list_get_value will do a series of
extra checks due to being public methods.
When we use them from within gstvalue.c we can directly use them without
the extra checks.
This makes ghostpad/proxypad creation 5 times faster and avoids contention
over the global funcptr lock.
I also moved the two class init down in the code to avoid having to forward
declare all the various functions.
