The unversioned tool wrappers are confusing and annoying for packagers,
users and developers alike. A gst-launch pipeline that works in 0.10
will likely not work in 0.11 (e.g. because elements or properties get
renamed, or syntax changes). The unversioned tools also yield useless
results when used with gdb or valgrind. Packagers need to co-ordinate
the packaging of all major versions to make sure there are no conflicts
when both try to install the same files. When two major versions are
in use (e.g. 0.10 and 0.11/1.0), it may be unclear (when looking at
things on IRC/pastebin/mailing list etc.) which version is actually
being used when there are unversioned wrappers. For all these reasons,
it seems best to just remove them for now.
Remove SIGUSR* handling from gst-launch, since it might interfere
with other things (e.g. libleaks), and should be done differently
anyway (either via support for simple timed-commands scripting or
remote control via DBus or so).
People should just query the registry themselves or write a small
python script if they need this functionality (which is likely
less work than parsing the XML that this script outputs, and I'm
not aware of anything using the xml2text xsl either).
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
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
It's often not obvious to people that elements like e.g. uridecodebin
(or demuxers) automatically support the standard signals of the
GstElement class, so let's print the useful pad-related ones for
elements with sometimes pads.
When option "-i" is given, set an index object on the pipeline and compute
statistics for all index writers. Print a sumary when shutting down the
pipeline.
The sync handler is called for all mesages, the event loop we previously used
was not. In the sync handler trigger pipeline dot dumps and call access for a
file in tmp-dir to add markers interceptable by strace and co.
Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.
Fixes#396774.
API: gst_element_class_set_meta_data(), gst_element_factory_get_meta_data_detail()
This reverts commit 1f8eba611a.
This should be fixed now (and if not should be fixed) and the
clock-lost handling is now needed for playbin2 gapless playback.
See bug #579127.
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.
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all

Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of

Use foo_LDADD instead of foo_LDFLAGS to specify the libraries to link to.
This should make sure arguments are passed to the linker in the right
order. See #615697.
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 *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
g_setprgname is implicitly called by g_option_context_new() with a check
to see if it's been set already, so set it before g_option_context_new()
Move version printing back until after the options have been parsed,
otherwise it won't work, since it evaluates a flag set by the
option parser.
If no plugin is given, print the info for all plugins. This can be used as a
starting point to generate a profile about what the gstreamer installation can
potentialy handle (e.g. for MTP or DLNA).
Check if we've been interrupted only four times per second instead
of twenty times per second, to wake up the cpu less often and
save power (see bug #600922).
Revisit these strings now that the change regarding the message source
object in gst_element_found_tags_for_pad() got reverted. Try to refer
explicitly to what kind of element it is (element, pad, etc.) in some
cases, which is nicer than having to deduce this info (and we can
re-use the already existing translated strings for the most common
case). It also makes for better example code, since it's clear now
that the message source object doesn't have to be an element.
When it is shutting down a pipeline after ctrl-c, set pipeline to
paused before waiting for the main loop to complete all pending
transactions. Fixes#584657.
If some part of the pipeline is generating signals or idle functions
at a fast rate, waiting for a main loop iteration may never return.
Disable the handling of the CLOCK_LOST messages until we fixed and released the
elements (rtspsrc) that break when we quickly PAUSE/PLAY the pipeline.
Fixes#579127
We should use GLib's g_print*() functions for printing stuff in gst-launch, not printf and friends, since we're printing
translated strings, which we get in UTF-8 encoding, and GLib's print functions expect UTF-8 encoded strings whereas printf
et al. expect strings in the locale encoding, which may or may not be UTF-8.
Also add a PRINT convenience macro so we don't have to litter the code with if (!quiet) statements.
Add a GST_MESSAGE_REQUEST_STATE that can be posted by element when they would
like to have the application change the state of the pipeline. the primary use
case is to pause the pipeline when an audio mixer is mixing a higher priority
stream but it can also be used for other purposes.
Add some docs and a unit test.
Implement the REQUEST_STATE message in gst-launch.

Remove GST_DISABLE_(ENUMTYPES|INDEX|URI) everywhere.
Disabling the indexers and URI handler code will only reduce the
required amount of memory by a very small amount but on the other hand
requires much more maintaince work. Apart from that many places of
code are broken when disabling them.
Disabling the enum types doesn't reduce the required amount of memory
by more than a few bytes and makes it hard to fix bugs like #539772,
i.e. use the enums as GObject properties.

De-cruft a bit. If no argument is specified, print all elements in

Also, don't print XML header chunk unless we actually have something
to print (ie. don't print it before an error message); print error
message to stderr not stdout. Remove support for printing plugin
info (it would just output something freestyle along the lines of
gst-inspect so far), which fixes#514507. Also add license header.
