Add a new property "do-aggregate"* to the H.264 RTP payloader which
enables STAP-A aggregation as per [RFC-6184][1]. With aggregation enabled,
packets are bundled instead of sent immediately, up until the MTU size.
Bundles also end at access unit boundaries or when packets have to be
fragmented.
*: The property-name is kept generic since it might apply more widely,
e.g. STAP-B or MTAP.

Otherwise it can happen that we receive a caps event, then another caps
event and only then buffers. We would then send out the first caps event
in the stream but mark buffers with the caps version of the second caps
event.
Otherwise it can happen that we already collected 7 caps, miss the 8th
caps packet (packet loss) and then re-use the 1st caps for the following
buffers instead of the 8th caps which will likely cause errors further
downstream unless both caps are accidentally the same.
Keeping old caps around does not seem to have any value other than
potentially causing errors. We would always receive new caps whenever
they change (even if they were previous ones) and it's very unlikely
that they happen to be exactly the same as the previous ones.
Also after having received new caps or a buffer with a next caps
version, no buffers with old caps version will arrive anymore.
Fix doc chunks to not use that syntax for links that have the
url as description, it will be put verbatim into the xml/*.xml
file and then the expat parser will throw a syntax error like:
File "../../common/mangle-db.py", line 71, in <module>
main()
File "../../common/mangle-db.py", line 69, in main
patch (details.replace("-details", ""), os.path.basename(details))

result = builder.parseFile(fp)

If the incoming frame buffer has GST_BUFFER_FLAG_DISCONT set this should
be preserved and set for the first output buffer too, like other
payloaders do.

When used in combination with a rtponviftimestamp element
downstream, forwarding this flag ensures it gets correctly
serialized in the ONVIF header extension.
A missing colon after G_DEFINE_TYPE declaration was confusing gst-indent
and causing problem in the pre-commit hook.
Add the missing colon and fix the following function declaration to
follow the normal GStreamer style.
When multiple nals are aggrgated, the marker bit should be associated only
with the last NAL of the packet. Otherwise we may break rendering in with
AU alignment.
This macro is not longer used. It was secretly checking if that nal was
a slice, and confusingly name to that one may think it was checking if
the nal is an AUD.
The code was reading the timestamp from the adapter before pushing the
new buffer into it. As a side effect, if the adapter was empty, we'd end
up using an older timestamp. In alignment=au, it means that all
timestamp was likely one frame in the past, while in alignment=nal, with
multiple slices per frame, the first slice would have the timestamp of
the previous one.
The marker bit is used for efficient decoding. The assumption that
it should be set on the AUD is wrong, since the AUD is conceptually
starts the frame, while the marker is to indicate the end.
So properly set the marker bit as soon as we know we are ending an
AU and also whenever upstream have set the GST_BUFFER_FLAG_MARKER
flag.

Don't allow external encoder to use one of the reserved NAL type
implicated in NAL aggreation. These out-of-spec NAL types, if passed
from the outside world will lead to an invalid RTP payload being
created.
Strip ADTS headers if we detect any, apparently some Sony cameras
send AAC with ADTS headers. We could also change the stream-format
in the output caps, but that would be unexpected to pipeline builders
and would not exactly be backwards compatible.
Both rtpmp4vpay and rtpmp4gpay support MPEG4 elementary streams. But
the most supported variant is the video-specific one (rtpmp4vpay),
therefore increase the rank of that one so that auto-plugging of
payloaders for MPEG4 elementary streams ends up picking that one
and not the generic one.
rtph264pay and rtph265pay skip updating the parameter set timestamp if
the units they see contain no new configuration. This can result in
them injecting duplicate parameters.

All these were copy pasted and would lead to assertion when chained with
rtpmux. This commit rewrite the negotiation with downstream. This also
drop the fallback to ancient names if the pad is unlinked. This was
completly arbitrary decision that made no sense.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796809
Just remove the code. It's not doing anything useful anyways. The modified
caps are the result of a caps query, so either not used afterwards of a
reference to some internal caps of another element that should not be
modified.

ULP FEC, as defined in RFC 5109, has the protected and protection
packets sharing the same ssrc, and a different payload type, and
implies rewriting the seqnums of the protected stream when encoding
the protection packets. This has the unfortunate drawback of not
being able to tell whether a lost packet was a protection packet.
rtpbasedepayload relies on gaps in the seqnums to set the DISCONT
flag on buffers it outputs. Before that commit, this created two
problems:
* The protection packets don't make it as far as the depayloader,
which means it will mark buffers as DISCONT every time the previous
packets were protected
* While we could work around the previous issue by looking at
the protection packets ignored and dropped in rtpptdemux, we
would still mark buffers as DISCONT when a FEC packet was lost,
as we cannot know that it was indeed a FEC packet, even though
this should have no impact on the decoding of the stream
With this commit, we consider that when using ULPFEC, gaps in
the seqnums are not a reliable indicator of whether buffers should
be marked as DISCONT or not, and thus rewrite the seqnums on
the decoding side as well to form a perfect sequence, this
obviously doesn't prevent the jitterbuffer from doing its job
as the ulpfec decoder is downstream from it.

Fix compilation with MSVC. We still assume that attribute
is supported by all other relevant compilers, which seems
to be the case since we haven't had any complaints about
similar code in rtpsbcpay.
rtpulpfeccommon.c:432:27: error: format ‘%lx’ expects argument of type

The ulpfecenc "mux-seq" and "ssrc" properties were initially added
because the element did more than implement ULPFEC. As it was
decided that FLEXFEC would be implemented in a separate element,
both properties are now unneeded and confusing.
Change the default for the ulpfecenc multi-packet property,
as it is expected that most users of this element will be protecting video
streams.
Change the default property for the rtpredenc allow-no-red-blocks
property, as it should also be its default mode of operation.

It is expected that when connecting to a stream that has
already started, the caps will only arrive at the interval
specified on rtpgstpay, we shouldn't be warning as this is
a normal mode of operation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793798
We expose a set of new elements:
* ULPFEC encoder / decoder
* A storage element, which should be placed before jitterbuffers,
and is used to store packets in order to attempt reconstruction
after the jitterbuffer has sent PacketLost events
* RED encoder / decoder (RFC 2198), these are necessary to
use FEC in webrtc, as browsers will propose and expect ulpfec
packets to be wrapped in red packets

All received configurations are parsed and added to a list, this lead
to an unbounded memory usage. As the configuration is resent every
second this quickly lead to a large memory usage.
Add a check to only add the config if it is not already available in
the list. This fix only handle the typical case of a well behaved
stream, a malicious server could still send many useless
configurations to raise the client memory usage.
Only for byte-stream or hev1. For hvc1 the SPS/PPS are in the
caps as codec_data field and in this case they shouldn't be in
the stream data as well. The output caps should be updated with
the new codec_data if needed, for hvc1.
We keep the boolean byte_stream around since it's nicer for
readability and most of the code just cares about byte_stream
or not. This is useful for future-proofing the code for when
we add support for hev1 output as well.
This would happen if input is byte-stream with four-byte
sync markers instead of three-byte ones. The code that
scans for sync markers will place the start of the NALU
on the third-last byte of the NALU sync marker, which
means that any additional zeros may be counted as belonging
to the previous NALU instead of being part of the next sync
marker. Fix that so we don't send VPS/SPS/PPS with trailing
zeros in this case.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732758
There is no difference between pushing out a buffer directly
with gst_rtp_base_depayload_push() and returning it from the
process function. The base class will just call _depayload_push()
on the returned buffer as well.
So instead of marshalling buffers through three layers and back,
just push them from one place in handle_nal() and always return
NULL from the process vfunc. This simplifies the code a little.
Also rename _push_fragmentation_unit() to _finish_fragmentation_unit()
for clarity. Push sounds like it means being pushed out, whereas
it might just be pushed into an adapter.
This change has the side-effect that multiple NALs in a single STAP
(such as SPS/PPS) may no longer be pushed out as a single buffer if
we output NALs in byte-stream format (i.e. not aggregate AUs), but
that shouldn't really make any difference to anyone.
This would happen if input is byte-stream with four-byte
sync markers instead of three-byte ones. The code that
scans for sync markers will place the start of the NALU
on the third-last byte of the NALU sync marker, which
means that any additional zeros may be counted as belonging
to the previous NALU instead of being part of the next sync
marker. Fix that so we don't send SPS/PPS with trailing
zeros in this case.
