* gst/gstqueue.c: (gst_queue_handle_pending_events),
(gst_queue_chain), (gst_queue_handle_src_event):
implement timeout for sending events. Workaround for if the
pipeline on this queue is not passing any data.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fix a deadlock that happens if the next element sends an event and the previous element sends a buffer where the queue is full. See the comment in the code for the rest.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is either a rewrite or a large bugfix to the queue element, whatever
you prefer to call it.
* upstream event forwarding now works. This should fix Julien's issues.
* this queue allows setting a min. treshold size and a max. limit size
in bytes, buffers and time before the queue allows the next element
to pull data or the previous element to push data into it. This is
very interesting for network-related buffering. Also includes signals
et all for the end user application.
* Events are no longer part of the queue's "size", they're essentially
seen as "void data". they have no size or time associated with them
anyway, so this shouldn't really sound weird.
Original commit message from CVS:
s/GstBuffer/GstData/ in the API where you can pass events. Fix the plugins to deal with that. Fixes#113488. Also includes scheduler patches, and probably fixes some queue bugs relating to events and buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
implement translatable error messages using gerror.
Includes bugfixes for:
- crash when unlinking Ghostpads
- make *_PAD_* macros use glib casts
- make spider typefinding merge buffers correctly
Original commit message from CVS:
GST_DEBUG reorganization
This is a big diff (ca 450k), containing loads of stuff:
- gstinfo.[ch] complete rewrite
- changing of all GST_DEBUG messages to reflect that change
- reorganization of subsystem disabling
- addition of gstconfig.h.in so we can track the disablings
- <gst/gst.h> does not include <unistd.h> and <config.h> anymore
- documentation updated for gstinfo stuff (build the docs yourself to know what changed)
- bugfixes for making of the docs (files from CVS are not deleted anymore
- testsuite for debugging changes in testsuite/debug
expect breakage
Original commit message from CVS:
Add patch for better buffering (especially useful for network streaming), see #108268 - kudos go to janzen@pixelmetrix.com
Original commit message from CVS:
Ouch: gst_element_dispose does a state change to NULL. Change the state to NULL yourself if you dispose plugins that reference some of the freed memory on state changes.
This is probably broken in lots of cases.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Proxy the get_caps function slightly differently. This is potentially
dangerous as it works quite differently. My tests seem to work though and
it fixes the play-multi-file-segfault in the player.
Original commit message from CVS:
Provide intrastructure to not have to pass NULL buffers on errors and
interrupts, this should fix some issues with the optimal scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Make the return GList of gst_element_get_pad_list as const
- Pad scheduler refactoring
- Remove gst_pad_set/unset_scheduler as it's not needed
- Reimplement gst_pad_get_scheduler using the parent scheduler
- Remove gst_pad_peek as it cannot work reliably
- Remove the pad bufpen, replace with scheduler private gpointer
- Make queue use the new _get_scheduler implementation
- Remove _pad_unset_scheduler from GstScheduler
- Remove LOOP_SEEK mode from aggregator
- Other fixes for API changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed bufferpool code and move that to gstbuffer.c
- implemented refcounting on GstData
- implemented new buffer code based on Company's work in the EVENTS2 branch
- added boxed types for GstData/GstEvent/GstBuffer/GstBufferPool
- added refcounting to bufferpools and events
- use lockfree allocation for buffers
- simplified the clock, use lockfree allocation
- use GQueue in GstQueue for faster access to the tail element
- update core plugins to the new event API
Original commit message from CVS:
Whan the buffer is filled, the buffer is kept and added to the queue
when there is room again. Don't do this after a flush.
Original commit message from CVS:
put upstream events in an async queue and resend them at the start of the chain. not working as expected yet but a start
Original commit message from CVS:
add an optional timeout for when queue blocks. when timeout is reached a GST_EVENT_FILLER is sent downstream
This is needed for gst-player since videosink has to be in the same thread as the ui, and spider blocks when there is no video (thus freezing the ui).
Original commit message from CVS:
Created an overridable method for seeking on an element, along with a default
implementation.
make queue flush on discont (not entirely correct)
removed the new_media from the discont event.
Original commit message from CVS:
- The clock_wait now returns the difference between requested time and
unlock time.
- Misc defines like GST_SECOND in gstclock.h
- remove pre/post in gstelement.c until fixed.
- added release_locks to gstelement so that the element can unlock itself
- added some more predefined events.
- added folowing functions to gstpad:
- convert function: get the relation between formats on this pad
- query function: get stats about the pad (position/total/latency)
- internal connect function: find out how this pad connects to other
pad internally to the element.
- generic pad_dispatcher.
- removed the last bits of pullregion
- use release_locks on the queue.
- added some events to queue
- make gstthread use the new release_locks function
- make the scheduler use the new clock_wait functions
- added events to fakesink
- added query functions to filesrc
- swap type and offset in the bytestream seek API to match fseek
- added some event handling in bytestream.
Original commit message from CVS:
* a hack to work around intltool's brokenness
* a current check for mpeg2dec
* details->klass reorganizations
* an element browser that uses details->klass
* separated cdxa parse out from the avi directory
Original commit message from CVS:
- Remove the propsprivate header file
- Added new API for properties.
- Moved the clock distribution to the scheduler.
- Removed the lock from GstCaps
- Added boxed types for Caps/Props
- Simplified the clock, new systemclock implementation
- Removed deprecated element_info/send_event functions
- First step at exposing more info in the pad_connect functions
- Queue cleanup
- Make the scheduler aware of other schedulers inside it
- Added the _SELF_SCHEDULABLE flag to gstthread
- Removed _get_widget from _utils, changed to new props API
- Make fakesink sync on timestamps when requested
- Removed the offset notify from filesrc
- Added a fast scheduler
- some scheduler cleanups.
Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
Landed the new improved capsnegotiation system.
The main idea is to keep track of the possible data types that can
pass through a connection. plugins can at any time inspect, adjust and
refine these caps. plugins also get notified when something changes to
the types so that they can reconfigure themselves.
Look at the updated plugins and the soon to be finished doc.
Original commit message from CVS:
summary: fix xml in gstreamer
1) make clear distinction between loading xml that actually creates objects and loading xml that just
synchronizes properties with objects. moved most of gst_element_restore_thyself functionality to
gst_xml_make_element. this new function name can change if it sucks.
2) many various fixes. createxml and runxml work now.
3) doc updates.
4) GstSignalObject is stil broken. i have no idea what it's supposed to do.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Removed deprecated buffer flags.
- removed gst_element_signal_eos, replaced with gst_element_set_eos
to set the object to PAUSED, signal an eos event etc..
- small updates to documentation
- repair some plugins
Original commit message from CVS:
- Added a function to get the currently executing cothread
- Removed some useless includes
- _interrupt now returns a boolean so the behaviour after the interrupt
can be controlled by the scheduler.
- Added a better way to set/get the default scheduler.
- make thread and pipeline get the default scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
Better, cleaner state management of the scheduler by adding scheduler state
flags.
typefind has to interrupt instead of yield.
Fix a leak in the queue when it's dropping buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Reclaim cothread state even if the cothread was never activated after
the free.
- fix the bin state change when there are no more children.
- use a real method to signal the parent bin of a state change.
- move the state change policy in the scheduler.
- remove the unused and ridiculous state change event
- don't free the cothread state when the element is disabled. only free it
when the element is removed from the scheduler.
Original commit message from CVS:
cothread cleanup.
- removed some old code.
- ran the thing through indent
- rename cothread_init/free to cothread_context_init/free
- implement cothread_free/destroy to clear the cothread_state slot
- make cothread_init reuse empty slots.
minor cleanups in error reporting (gstpad, gstelement)
code cleanup in gstthread
make unexpected state changes in gstthread less fatal
free the cothread_state in the scheduler.
This one passes all the current cvs testcases including dynamic-pipeline.
Original commit message from CVS:
- Elements can now send events to their parent.
- remove the g_signals from the core for parent<->child communication
- the application can easily get element info by listening for an event
signal from the toplevel bin.
- added gst_element_info()/_error().
- fakesrc and fakesink use the info event instead of g_print.
- GST_TYPE_* causes segfaults with elect fence, rever to G_TYPE_POINTER
until we know what's wrong.
- various leaks fixed wrt element destroy.
- The object that created the event is now stored as GST_EVENT_SRC
Original commit message from CVS:
- added playondemand plugin by Leif Morgan Johnson <lmjohns3@eos.ncsu.edu>
- some fixes to int2float
- aplied a patch from wrobell <wrobell@ite.pl> that is a first attempt at
making automake 1.5 happy (gst now requires automake1.5). It's still not
perfect but it builds.
- Made the schedulers plugable. The default scheduler now lives inside a
plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified
the code in GstThread a bit. A state change can now also happen in the
thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
1. Add more warnings for the gst core only. Various trival fixes
to quiet the warnings.
2. Fix GstBufferCopyFunc prototype.
3. Re-apply the reverted type!=0 assertion in gst_elementfactory_new.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of modifications to the plugin system.
- Added a GstPluginfeature object that serves as a base class for all
plugin contents.
- changed the plugin API, everyhting is now added with
gst_plugin_add_feature
- typefactories are named now so that they can be located easily and filled
in at plugin load.
- mime types like "video/raw image/raw" are gone for now.
- lots of plugin updates (style and API changes)
- tested with an without registry.
- updates to various tools.
- added a little testsuite to test/show how you can load plugins (4 modes)
Test this one, Almost everything has changed :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of updates to the plugins for caps negotiation.
Added YUY2 output to the win32 dlls.
Added a colorspace converter in gstplay
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego proxying. It should be OK now.
Added another testcase enum that shows various capsnego algorithms.
Warn about pads that try to set a capability incompatible with their
padtemplate.
Implemented refcounting and copy_on_write for caps/props.
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego, mostly proxying
Added another testsuite for capsnego
Added caps to vorbisdec, mp3parse, mp1videoparse
Redid the queue proxy handling a bit.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the capsnegotiation function
audiosink now uses capsnego to set its parameters
mpg123/ac3dec use capsnego instead of metadata
Added the beginnings of a testsuite for capsnego.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a megapatch with the following changes:
- moved the gchar *name to GstObject, removed the ones in GstElement and
GstPad.
- moved the parent handling completely into GstObject. This cause *all* of
the plugins to fail (except those that used gst_pad_get_parent)
- rearanged the XML save handling.
- GstObject now has a class function save/restore_thyself.
- GstObject has a generic method gst_object_save_thyself, this makes it
possible to fire a signal wehever a new object is loaded. This is needed
so we can add XML save hooks.
- GstXML API has changed slightly. You now have to create a GstXML object
first before you can actually load something. This makes it possible to
attach a signal to GstXML whenever an object is loaded. I'm not sure we
will keep this interface.
- GstObject can now print the path_string without knowing about the GstPad and
GstElement types.
- Added gst_bin_get_by_name_recurse_up to lookup an element in the current
element hierarchy.
- added XML namespaces to the saved pipelines the namespace is:
http://gstreamer.net/gst-core/1.0/
namespaces are needed to distinguish user generated XML from the core XML.
Note that the plugins still contain a macro GST_OBJECT_PARENT that will be
replaced with gst_pad_get_parent shortly.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates
Added XML load from memory functionality
Undid the videosink patch, something else is wrong now on my machine:
no MMX acceleration :-(
Original commit message from CVS:
More EOS changes.
When a bin2 is found inside a bin1, we add the bin2 to the EOS providers
of the bin1. When there is nothing more to schedule in bin1 and bin2 has
fired EOS, bin1 is in EOS.
The queue overrides the EOS notification and calls EOS on the src pad
when the queue is empty and the sink pad is in EOS.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added an extra signal_cond to queue to make sure that the waiting thread
is woken up. Can somebody with queue problems verifify that this does
improve the situation a bit. I'm suspecting that something else is going
on, like a pthreads bug or something.
Small updates to the fake elements.
Original commit message from CVS:
Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
GST_DEBUG now takes a category parameter, which is the same as GST_INFO
system. They are now called GST_CAT_*. All the GST_DEBUGs are set to 0
for now, we need to go and fix all these eventually.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates: remove sink, src, filter, connection
added gstinfo to docs.
Updated some core files for the docs
gsttypefind did not include gst_private
Added CFlags to Makefile.am in gst/elements
Original commit message from CVS:
Reparented everything to GstElement, removing GstSrc, GstSink, GstFilter,
and GstConnection. Also fixed a bug in gst_bin_iterate_func.
Original commit message from CVS:
Pending editor changes.
fixes for autoplug of elementary MPEG1 video streams
make sure mp3 types get compiled
videosink changes for xml loading
Original commit message from CVS:
More massive changes to the scheduling system. Moved the scheduling code
to gstscheduler.[ch], so an child bin can replace the scheduler.
Introduced the concept of chains, which are subsets of the list of managed
elements for a given manager bin, which get scheduled as separate entities.
gst_bin_iterate_func should be pretty much fixed now, the scheduling code
gets to do all the hard work.
Cothreaded case work in the couple tests I've tried, chained is next.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixing two bugs:
1) I had commented out an unlock. duh.
2) changed the _get function to return the buffer rather than call _push
Also uncommented some debugging I'd turned off. Need to solve the verbosity
problem somehow, I think by way of debug levels as well as info levels...
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive scheduling changes (again). Not entirely complete, but getting
closer. Need to think about various scheduling plans that we might want
to produce, and figure out the rules for what is legal, and how to get
the results we need as far as the plan.
Original commit message from CVS:
WARNING: Don't grab this updated unless you're really, REALLY sure.
WARNING: Wait for the next one.
Whole lotta changes here, including a few random bits:
examples/*/Makefile: updated to use `libtool gcc`, not just `gcc`
gst/
gstbuffer.h: updated to new flag style
gst.c, gstdebug.h: added new debugging for function ptrs
gstpipeline.c: set type of parent_class to the class, not the object
gstthread.c: ditto
plugins/
cdparanoia/cdparanoia.c: added an argument type, updated some defaults
cobin/spindentity.c: updated to new do/while loopfunction style
mp3encode/lame/gstlame.c: argument types, whole lotta lame options
tests/: various changes
Now, for the big changes: Once again, the scheduling system has changed.
And once again, it broke a whole bunch of things. The gist of the change
is that there is now a function pointer for gst_pad_push and gst_pad_pull,
instead of a hard-wired function. Well, currently they are functions, but
that's for debugging purposes only, they just call the function pointer
after spewing lots of DEBUG().
This changed the GstPad structure a bit, and the GstPad API as well.
Where elements used to provide chain() and pull() functions, they provide
chain() and get() functions. gst_pad_set_pull[region]_function has been
changed to get_pad_set_get[region]_function. This means all the elements
out there that used to have pull functions need to be updated. The calls
to that function have been changed in the normal elements, but the names
of the functions passed is still _pull[region](), which is an aesthetic
issue more than anything.
As for what doesn't work yet, just about anything dealing with Connections
is hosed, meaning threaded stuff won't work. This will be fixed about 12
hours from now, after I've slept, etc. The simplefake.c test works in
both cothreaded and chained cases, but not much else will work due to the
Connection problem. Needless to say, don't grab this unless you *need*
these features *now*, else wait to update this stuff until tomorrow.
I'm going to sleep now.
Original commit message from CVS:
Implemented the hybrid scheduling system for sources and connections
outside the current Bin. Is a bit hackish in one place, but I'll work out
a way to make that cleaner soon. queue.c in tests now works nicely in all
cases. More to come later.
Original commit message from CVS:
Another big set of changes. Connections are now also pullfunc based.
gstqueue has been updated, I don't know of any other connections offhand.
There are still a few things that need doing, specifically the concept
of a source or connection with connections to multiple thread contexts is
not dealt with. This may force us to move the threadstate from the
element to the pad, maybe keeping the element's copy for simple cases.
Then the Bin would create a structure to pass to the cothreaded _wrappers
of any such elements, which would detail the pads that are to be dealt with
by this particular cothread context.
That will speed things up to, since we don't have to look through the list
of all pads for every Src or Connection element for every iteration, we can
simply step through the list provided by the plan. Special case might even
have a single pad pointer sitting there to trump the list, if there's only
one (the common case anyway).
Task 23098 is tracking these changes. The main task 22588 depends on that
subtask, as well as 22240, which is a consistency check on PAD_DISABLED.
Original commit message from CVS:
Docs updates.
Added LICENSE info to headers/code where missing in gst directory
Added a bonobo wrapper for the media player (it shows up in gshell but
locks up when activating the component, anyone?)
Fixed some XML save/load problems with arguments.
Original commit message from CVS:
Misc fixes and cleanups
A reworked gstplay. Now it is called gstmediaplay. gstplay is a custom
widget that can display media and is to become a bonobo component soon.
put the tables of the mpeg audio encoder in a header file.
maybe faster quantisation for the mpeg encoder.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a severe timestamp bug in mpeg_play.
Create a new thread upon a multisrc element in autoplugging: the autoplug
example now correctly sets up 5 threads for an mpeg player.
Original commit message from CVS:
The cothreads were not initialized in its thread context resulting in
severe stack corruption. This was very hard to track down.
We should be able now to modify some plugins to a loop based setup so that
we can get rid of the mp3parse and mp1videoparse elements.
Modified the GList to a GSList in the queue.
Original commit message from CVS:
A first attempt to fix the queues in a cothreaded pipeline.
Some fixes to the thread handling.
Fix a bug in gstreamer-config : gthread was not included.
gst_bin_create_plan() is now done in the READY state.
a bin with only another bin in it will now work with gst_bin_iterate.
Added some examples for the queues.

Added a quick hack to allow loop based elements to finish intead of
looping till infinity.
Added compile time i386 or plain C getbits implementation selection.
The vorbis decoder now is our first loop based element!

This is the audio/video sync release.
Changed the mpegvideoparser to parse complete pictures. Added the PTS
timestamps to the pictures.

Fixed the mpeg2 encoder. Added MMX optimisations for motion estimation.
Added another mpeg1 encoder.
Added Two filters: smooth and median (a median cut filter)
Made the queue pull buffers.

Fixed incorrect behaviour on 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits displays.
Cleanup of the videosink, it now uses the color conversion library when
needed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Documentation updates. All standard library objects and standard
elements are documented. Modified some of the elements to more
accuratly report about their arguments so the documentation builds
more reasonable output.
Added aviencoder and jpegencoder elements (not working yet)
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a rather large patch. Switched on -Wall compiler flag and fixed
the warnings.
Made the Video for Linux more like it should be.
Original commit message from CVS:
Made queue default bigger.
fixed parsing errors in mp3parse mpeg1parse mp1videoparse: more than 2
zeros and a 1 is also a sync.
fixed MPEG1 video SKIP_PICTURE which caused a segfault. AlienSong now
plays as it should do. Skips are currently ignored and give some error
on the console, need to clean this up.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed the queue length (fixed length 5 for now).
fixed mpeg1 video rate control.
AlienSong segfaults sometimes. My other movies don't....
