Add a first_buffer boolean state flag to have baseparse do actions
before pushing data. This is used to check the caps for streamheader
buffers that are prepended to the stream, but only if the first buffer
isn't already marked with the _HEADER flag. In this case, it is assumed
that the _HEADER marked buffer is the same as the streamheader.

Adds API to get or peek a sub-reader of a certain size from
a given byte reader. This is useful when parsing nested chunks,
one can easily get a byte reader for a sub-chunk and make
sure one never reads beyond the sub-chunk boundary.

When going to READY, it is possible that we are still pusing a frame but that
our srcpad has already been set to flushing. In that case we should not
post any error on the bus but instead cleanly return FLOW_FLUSHING.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733320
When the parser receives non-aligned packets it can push a buffer
and get a not-linked return while still leaving some data still to
be parsed. This remaining data will not form a complete frame and
the subclass likely returns _OK and baseparse would take that
as the return, while it the element is actually not-linked.
This patch fixes this by storing the last flow-return from a push
and using that if a parsing operation doesn't result in data being
flushed or skipped.

Currently the scan uses Boyer-moore method and its performance is good.
but, it can be optimized from an implementation of view.
The original scan code is implemented by byte array and index-based access.
In _scan_for_start_code(), the index is increasing from start to end and the
base address of the byte array is referred to as return value.
In the case, index-based access can be replaced by pointer access, which
improve the performance by removing index-related operations.
Its performace is enhanced by approximately 8% on arm-based embedded devices.
Although it seems trivial, it can affect the overall performance because the
_scan_for_start_code() function is very often called when H.264/H.265 video is
played.
In addition, the technique can apply for all architectures and it is good in
view of readability and maintainability.

Currently, if prepare() takes too much time, we skip the call to render().
The side effect of this, is that we endup starving the render(). The solution
in this patch is to always render frames that are on time before prepare() is
executed. This will maximize the number of frames we display and smoothly
degrade the rendering performance.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
We iterate the current discont group backwards and push each GOP forwards,
starting from the last one. However if the first buffer in the current
discont group is a keyframe, we will keep it around until next time,
which is far from ideal. Just push it.
This prevents situations where a first branch would get seeked and
receive a buffer before all branches got seeked, and thus collected
would get called based on EOS from the previous segment.
As a consequence, during the process of seeking, don't decrease
the eospads number when a FLUSH_STOP is received.

Don't set the size to -1 in automatic_eos mode (which also updates the

This defaults to TRUE and if it is set to FALSE it is the subclasses
responsibility to return GST_FLOW_EOS from the create() vmethod once
the stream is done.
Store the eos event seqnum and use it when creating the
new eos event to be pushed downstream. To know if the eos
was caused by the eos events received on send_event, a
'forced_eos' flag is used to use the correct seqnum on
the event pushed downstream.
Useful if the application wants to check if the EOS message
was generated from its own pushed EOS or from another source
(stream really finished).
Also adds a test for this
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722791
If on passthrough during reverse playback, do not accumulate buffers as
baseparse will never check for DISCONT flag to push those buffers.
So just push buffers downstream as if it was forward playback.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721941
TIME segments are being ignored and a standard initialized
segment is used instead. This causes issues as not properly detecting
reverse playback or not cliping output based on the segment.
This seems to be a regression from one of the GstSegment/GstEvent
redesigns on the 0.10 -> 1.0 transition
It wasn't required, instead baseparse was using it to check the media
caps to identify if it was handling audio or video.
The pending_segment was removed and a checked_media boolean
replaced it for a more accurate naming.

A GAP event is handled as an empty buffer by sinks and they expect
to receive start up events before GAP events (like a segment).
This is important specially if there is a GAP at the beginning of
a stream (before any buffers) so that the segment event can be
pushed downstream before the GAP

pads->data is the public list. It is dynamically rebuilt at each call to
check_collected, in check_pads to be specific. When you add a pad and
collectpads have been started, it is not added to the public list.
Thus there exists a possible race where :
1) You would add a pad to collectpads while running.
2) You set collectpads to flushing before check_collected has been called again
-> the pad is not set to flushing
3) the pad starts pushing data as downstream might not be prepared, in the case
of adder it then returns FLOW_FLUSHING.
4) elements like demuxers, when they get a FLOW_FLUSHING, stop their tasks,
never to be seen again.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708636
The seqnum of the segment after a seek should be the same of
the seek event. Downstream elements might rely on seqnums to
identify events related to a seek.
This is particularly important when a demuxer maps a TIME seek
into a BYTES seek for upstream and it needs to identify the
corresponding segment event and map it back into TIME to push
downstream, possibly using the values from the original seek
event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707530
If a pad is removed while a collectpads element (say adder) is in a chain
function waiting to be collected, there is a possibility that an unref happens
on a NULL pointer.

This avoids triggering plenty of extra code/methods/overhead downstream when
we can just quickly check whenever we want to set caps whether they are

Use custom code to implement flush-stop, we can't reuse the set_flushing code
because we can't touch the live_playing flag and we need to signal the
streaming thread.
In some specific cases (like transmuxing) we want to force the element
to actually parse all incoming data even if the element deems it is not
necessary.
This property simply ignores requests from the element to enable passthrough
mode which results in processing always being enabled.

Adds a variant of the _push function that doesn't check the queue limits
before adding the new item. It is useful when pushing an element to the
queue shouldn't lock the thread.
One particular scenario is when the queue is used to serialize buffers
and events that are going to be pushed from another thread. The
dataqueue should have a limit on the amount of buffers to be stored to
avoid large memory consumption, but events can be considered to have
negligible impact on memory compared to buffers. So it is useful to be
used to push items into the queue that contain events, even though the
queue is already full, it shouldn't matter inserting an item that has
no significative size.
This scenario happens on adaptive elements (dashdemux / mssdemux) as
there is a single download thread fetching buffers and putting into the
dataqueues for the streams. This same download thread can als generate
events in some situations as caps changes, eos or a internal control
events. There can be a deadlock at preroll if the first buffer fetched
is large enough to fill the dataqueue and the download thread and the
next iteration of the download thread decides to push an event to this
same dataqueue before fetching buffers to other streams, if this push
locks, the pipeline will be stuck in preroll as no more buffers will be
downloaded.
There is a somewhat common practice in dash streams to have a single
very large buffer for audio and one for video, so this will always
happen as the download thread will have to push an EOS right after
fetching the first buffer for any stream.

Calling gst_buffer_get_size represented 2/3 of the cost of helper_find_peek
which was called whenever a typefindfunction wanted to peek at data.
We already know the size (from the GstMapInfo), so just use that.
Pass the fixed caps we're asked to accept as a filter for the caps
query, so we don't get a fully-expanded set of caps back (which we don't
need and can take a lot of time for intersection).

When we asynchronously go from READY to PLAYING, also call the
state change function so that subclasses can update their state for PLAYING.
Because the PREROLL lock is not recursive, we can't make this without
races and we must assume for now that the subclass can handle concurrent calls
to PAUSED->PLAYING and PLAYING->PAUSED. We can make this assumption because not
many elements actually do something in those state changes and the ones that
did would be broken even more without this change.

Doing it after every single create() is not very efficient and not necessary.

This makes sure that at least one buffer per second is rendered if buffers
are dropped before ::prepare. Without this change, at least one buffer per
second wouldn't be too late before ::prepare anymore but would be dropped
before ::render because of last_render_time being set before ::prepare
already.
This function works just like gst_data_queue_pop, but it doesn't
remove the object from the queue.
Useful when inspecting multiple GstDataQueues to decide from which
to pop the element from.
Add: gst_data_queue_peek
Importantly, this patch converts DTS to running time. Less importantly,
and possibly a problem for some muxers, is that it orders buffers by
DTS (if it is valid, otherwise PTS). This is generally correct, but
might be somewhat surprising to muxers.
Also note that once converted to running time, DTS can end up negative.
gst_pad_get_current_caps() on the source pad might yield NULL caps
if we're being shut down and the source pad has already been
deactivated by the other thread that's changing state. Just bail
out in that case, instead of passing NULL caps to the transform_size
function, which it might not expect.

Use GSIZE_TO_POINTER instead. sizeof(GType) may be larger

Don't retry to negotiate when we fail to negotiate but instead produce a
NOT_NEGOTIATED error. We only want to retry negotiation if the result from
gst_pad_push() returned NOT_NEGOTIATED.
