GstDeviceProvider has a started_count private variable counter,
and the gst_device_provider_start() documentation emphasizes the
importance of balancing the start and stop calls.
However, when starting a provider that is already started, the
current code will never increment the counter more than once.
So you start it twice, but it will have start_count 1, which is the
maximum value it will ever see.
Then when you stop it twice, on the 2nd stop, after decrementing the
counter in gst_device_provider_stop():
else if (provider->priv->started_count < 1) {
g_critical
("Trying to stop a GstDeviceProvider %s which is already stopped",
GST_OBJECT_NAME (provider));
and the program is killed.
Fix this by incrementing the counter when starting a device provider that
was already started.
Add methods to add/remove the providers that should be hidden by this
provider. Also make a method to get a list of hidden providers.
This makes it possible to have multiple systems monitor the same devices
and remove duplicates.
Add a property to see all devices, even duplicate ones from hidden
providers.
* GstGlobalDeviceMonitor was renamed to GstDeviceMonitor
* Expand GST_MESSAGE_DEVICE to the full enum value names
* Correct the incorrect references to the GstDeviceProvider interfaces
* Describe caps arguments for gstcheck interface
* Add missing docs for GstNetAddressMeta and its add function
* Add docs for toc helper macros
* Avoid refering to GstValueList type as done elsewhere
