Original commit message from CVS:
Totally rewritten registry handling.
- move the registry save/load code into a gstregistry subclass, this
will make it possible to use other registries (flat file, web based,
RDBMS type, etc..)
- a simple GMarkup xml registry is implemented
- use standard statically linked plugins for core elements.
- GstPlugin has a very well defined set of functions now
A little bytestream hack..
Added more info to -inspect.
Some more debugging info for clocking.
Small cleanups
I use ./gst-register --gst-plugin-path=/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/gst-libs:/opt/src/sourceforge/gst-plugins/
to register core and gst-plugins now.
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:
commit to make gstreamer follow the gtk function/macro naming conventions:
GstPadTemplate <-> gst_pad_template <-> GST_PAD_TEMPLATE
and the same for *factory and typefind.
Original commit message from CVS:
* new parser that uses flex and bison
- doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet...
* added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api
* added --gst-mask-help command line option
* fixed -o option for gst-launch
* GstElement api change:
- gst_element_get_pad
- gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_pad
- gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad
- gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads
- gst_element_[dis]connect_elements -> gst_element_[dis]connect
* manual update
* example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes
- no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more
extensive doc system
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:
* s/gst_element_install_std_props/gst_element_class_install_std_props/ -- it just makes more sense that way
* added jack element, doesn't quite work right yet but i didn't want to lose the work -- it does build, register,
and attempt to run though
* imposed some restrictions on the naming of request pads to better allow for reverse parsing
* added '%s' to reverse parsing
* added new bin flag to indicate that it is self-iterating, and some lame code in gst-launch to test it out
* fixen on launch-gui
* added pkg-config stuff for the editor's libs
Original commit message from CVS:
* document gst_caps_debug
* change gst_caps_debug to accept a label argument, assists greatly
in debugging capsnego
* better names from gst_object_name_default
* some more debugging in gstpad.c
* require caps to match padtemplates on both side of a connection
* gstspider uses default naming so that names are globally unique
* moved filesrc offset arg to the top -- show up first in a prop list.
in the future we should have flags on props indicating which ones
it might be interesting for the end-user to change.
* initialize cothreads in the more standard way, and provide some more debugging
Original commit message from CVS:
* warning fixes
* gst_object_set_name (name, NULL) uniquifies the name globally
- needs robusticizing
* gst_elementfactory_make can now take NULL as a second argument
Original commit message from CVS:
* changes to spider:
* add padtemplates so the connect functions can connect two request-pad
elements
* add a hack in gstelement.c. please look at this, Company, and see how
we can get around this
* add backwards caps-propagation support in identity, int2float, float2int,
adder, speed, volume
Original commit message from CVS:
major rewrite of the spider.
Now uses GstSpiderConnection to track current connections and remember the way they're plugged.
Advantages of this approach:
- function prototypes are now much cleaner.
- Allow event propagation (EOS) to elements that are not connected but plugged.
- Allow deconstruction of plugged pipes. (not implemented)
Disadvantage:
- I screwed up naming (always get src and sink the wrong way). It's very inconsistent in the gstspider.[ch] files
- a little more time and memory are needed to manage the structs
Original commit message from CVS:
* removed cothread-specific code from gstinfo.c because the new cothreads has no cothread_self()
* added a new scheduler, untested but it does compile :-)
* cothreads links to the scheduler, not core now
* no installation of cothreads headers
Original commit message from CVS:
- use autoplugging instead of predefined way on sometimes pads
- exchange plugtype with factories in the spider
- revamp the spider, now messier than before...
- bugfixing
- style corrections
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a first stab at a better clocking system.
It still needs more infrastructure for async notification and custom clock
implementors.
This thing can still deadlock the pipeline.
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:
* s/filter/plugin/
* add $(GST_LIBS) to all plugins
* move Makefile.am things around to a mostly standard layout
* remove HTTP flags/libs from elements since http element moved
Original commit message from CVS:
Tee Fixes.
added cothread_stop (not used)
improved the pad event dispatcher.
added an event_received signal on the pad.
do less state changes in the autoplugger.
small scheduler fix.
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:
- 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:
quoting from the comment i put in gststaticautoplug.c:
it is likely that the plugin is not loaded yet. thus when it loads it
will replace the elementfactory that gst built from the cache, and the
GST_OBJECT_NAME will no longer be valid. thus we must g_strdup its name.
this might be an implementation problem, i don't know, if a program keeps
a reference to a cached factory after a factory has been added on plugin
initialization. i really don't know though.
Original commit message from CVS:
Nobody checks the return value of gst_pad_connect. This patch
renames gst_pad_connect to gst_pad_try_connect and makes
gst_pad_connect return void.
