The default for tagsetters is to use merge keep mode, so tags
would never be replaced and all captures would have the same tags.
This commit watches all elements added into encodebin and sets
all tagsetters to merge replace mode
Using serialized custom events for switching image capture saving
location makes camerabin2 save each capture correctly to the location
that was set during the moment start-capture was called, and not
the moment the filesink was writing to disk.
This prevents captures to be overwriten by racyness among start-capture
and setting location for images.
We only need to change the state of the filesink to switch its
saving location. This might still cause some problems of dropping
captured buffers, but it is better than changing the state of
the whole branch.
Camerabin2 allows setting a filter for image, video or viewfinder, but
not one filter for all three at the same time. I added a filter to
wrappercamerabinsrc to allow setting a global filter when using this
source.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649822
Some properties (like viewfinder-filter) only are taken into use
on NULL->READY transitions and the get/set property was returning
the currently in use value, instead of the last set.
This is bad, as after setting 'a' to 'x', you expect that getting 'a'
will return 'x'. This patch fixes it.
If needed, later we could add current-* properties that are readonly
and get the current value in use.
handle the case where encodebin doesn't have the pad
camerabin2 is requesting, either because of its current profile
or because of missing elements, making it fail to provide
the pad
Use merge replace mode to allow new tags to override old ones
and fix the use case where the last sent tags should be serialized
to the captured images.
In video mode the tags should be pushed after sending the start capture
to the source, this allows the video recording elements to be reset
and leave the flushing state they were at after a previous capture.
This fixes the problem where tags only work for the first video capture
Remove the android/ top dir
Fixe the Makefile.am to be androgenized
To build gstreamer for android we are now using androgenizer which generates the needed Android.mk files.
Androgenizer can be found here: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/derek/androgenizer.git
Instead of probing the videosink sinkpad for passing EOS, better
to wait for EOS from the bus.
This makes sure the filesink has already processed it and is
ready to close the file. This is used to notify applications
that camerabin2 is idle and can be shut down.
This is not implemented in any of our real sources to which wrappercamerabinsrc
might connect but this is optional and can be implemented at any time. A
limit on the software zoom level using video{crop,scale} would be arbitrary.
Use resource warning messages to notify camerabin2 that a capture
as aborted or couldn't be started, making it decrement the
processing counter and making the idle property more reliable.
Setting the audio source to null isn't needed and it could
make the EOS that is still flowing be dropped if autoaudiosrc
is used because its pads go flushing before the EOS gets pushed
from the real source.
When recording 2 videos in sequence with the same video-capture-caps,
the second video would get a not-negotiated error because the
src caps were being cleared without any intention of
renegotiating it back to the requested capture caps.
This patch avoids this caps reset procedure unless a new
caps was set.
Don't leak string copy returned by gst_element_get_name(). Also, check
for certain elements by checking the plugin feature / factory name, not
the assigned object name.
We can't rely on audio sources pushing EOS when going PAUSED->READY
because this is a basesrc bahavior and when used inside autoaudiosrc
the ghostpad goes flushing before the real source pushes the EOS,
so it is dropped.
Audio elements are put into bin only when needed, so we need
to be careful with their states as camerabin2 won't manage
them if they are outside the bin.
Also we should reset their pad's flushing status before
starting a new capture.
Adds an audio source and audio capsfilter/queue/convert, creating
a new branch on camerabin2 that is used to feed encodebin with
audio buffers for video recording.
Adds properties to check what caps are supported on the
viewfinder (from the camerasrc viewfinder pad) and another
one to set a caps for the viewfinder.
Use video_renegotiate and image_renegotiate booleans to make
the videosrc negotiate the capture caps on the first capture because
the caps might be set before wrappercamerabinsrc goes into PLAYING
and pads drop the internal renegotiate event.
This is required as the output-selector is using the 'none' negotiation
mode.
When setting the internal capsfilter caps for capture we should put
the full caps instead of trying to fixate it ourselves. This way we let
the elements (and mostly the source) select the best format instead
of defaulting to what the pad fixation function picks.
Image previews where being posted in sync with the buffers
timestamps, this makes no sense as previews should be posted ASAP.
Also adds some debugging messages.
Camerabin2 uses state changes to force the source to renegotiate its
caps to the capture formats. The state changes makes the source lose
its clock and base_time, causing it to stop timestamping the buffers.
We still need a proper way to make sources renegotiate its caps, so this
patch is a hack to make the source continue timestamping buffers even
after changing state. The patch works by getting the clock and base
time before doing the state change to NULL and setting them back
after putting it to PLAYING again. It also cares to drop the first
new segment after this state change.
When going to ready, camerabin2 could create an empty file
if the videosink was put to ready. This patch only puts videosink
to ready on the PAUSED_TO_READY state change if it is on PAUSED
or PLAYING.
Implement previewing functionality using 2 properties. A boolean
(post-previews) that indicates if previews should be posted, and a
GstCaps (preview-caps) to provide the desired preview caps.
wrappercamerabinsrc implements previewing by supplying the captured
image to a pipeline to adapt it to the required caps before posting.
Use a hack to make the event upstream to reach the camera source
instead of going downstream and being useless.
This was already fixed this way for image srcpad renegotiate and
video srcpad was left unfixed.
Instead of linking 3 src pads from tee to the ghostpads, use 2
srcpads and add an output-selector to completely split caps
negotiation of video/image modes. I don't think there is an
use case that would require image and video pads to be used
at the same time.
Adds a custom renegotiate event that is pushed to the camerasrc pad
that needs renegotiation due to the user selecting a new capture
caps for that pad.
This is a way of notifying the source that it should update its caps, even
if it doesn't use pad allocs.
Use better name for the variables, making the code clearer. Also
keep a ref for some internal elements to avoid fetching them
by name when needed later.
We need to reset the elements from the video recording branch, including
the queue and capsfilter in order to clear the eos state and activate
the pads.
This makes it possible to record multiple videos with camerabin2 in a
sequence, otherwise the source would get a unexpected return and
push EOS, stopping the whole pipeline.
As video recording bin's state is locked, we should always
remember of setting it to NULL when camerabin2 goes to NULL
Be more careful when using elements that might not
have been created yet
And do not set location property recursively on videorecordingbin
Adds a location property to enable applications to select
the captured files names. Locations are handled just like
multifilesink ones
Also disables -Wformat-nonliteral to allow to use non-literals
on g_strdup_printf on camerabin and generate a sequence of
locations for captures.
Keep vidbin state locked to avoid it going to playing without
being used and leaving an empty file created.
Check the docs on the code for details on the handling.
Adds property that informs if v4l2camerasrc is available
for starting a new capture.
It is useful for applications to know (via deep-notify) when the
property changes and a new capture is possible. Note, however, that
starting a new capture from the notify callback will cause a deadlock.
Removes the old logic for v4l2camerasrc that used the mode
property switching to start/stop captures to make it identical
to camerabin2 behavior and to allow the future addition of
pausing a video recording.
This also removes the MODE_PREVIEW as it became useless.
Implements video capture on v4l2camerasrc by using the mode property,
when mode is set to video, the pad probe pushes a new segment
and starts pushing buffers on the pad, when it the property is
sent back to preview, the pad probe pushes an EOS and stops
pushing buffers.
This is controlled by a Recording State variable, that is protected
by the GST_OBJECT_LOCK. I don't think locking for every buffer is
nice, so we could find an alternative lockless way here.
Use 'mode' enum definition from gstcamerabin-enum file to avoid
conflicts between v4l2camerasrc and gstcamerabin2 modes.
For now there is a MODE_PREVIEW there that is only used on the
camerasrc, not sure if we are keeping it at the future, but for
now this works.
Adds mode property to camerabin2, allowing users to
select between video and stills capture. Also adds
start/stop capture actions to trigger and stop
capturing
