Replace videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter with the digitalzoom
bin that has the same pipeline internally and already updates
the capsfilter automatically when caps change, removing this code
from wrappercamerabinsrc and making it cleaner.
Avoids one extra uneeded renegotiation if the elements are already
configured to their final property values when the caps event
goes through.
Also avoids hitting bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748344
It contains videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter and implements digital
zooming.
At this moment, it is a private element of the camerabin plugin.
This will remove some code used in wrappercamerabinsrc to make
code clearer and digitalzoom can potentially be used by other
applications in the future, it has nothing camerabin specific.
wrappercamerabinsrc has a videocrop element to be used for
zooming and for cropping when input caps is different when used
with the GstPhotography interface. The zooming part needs
the following elements:
capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
The capsfilters should always have the same caps to ensure the
zooming is done and preserves dimensions, unless when it is needed
to do more cropping due to input dimensions those caps
need to be modified accordingly to preserve the output dimensions.
This, however, makes it hard to get caps negotiation to work properly
as we need to have different caps in the capsfilters to account for
the extra cropping needed. It could be simple for fixed caps but it
gets tricky with unfixed ones.
To solve this, this patch splits the zooming and dimension reduction
cropping into 2 separate videocrop elements. The first one does
the dimension cropping, which is only needed when the GstPhotography
API is used and the source provides a caps that is different than
what is requested, while the second is dedicated to zoom crop only.
The first part of the pipeline goes from:
src ! videoconvert ! capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
to
src ! videocrop ! videoconvert ! capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
It might add an extra overhead in the image capture as the image might need
to be cropped twice but this can be solved by enabling videocrop to use
crop metas so only the later one does the real cropping.
It also makes the code a bit simpler.
Remove tee and output-selector and just link the source
pad to the outputs we want as needed.
The way we need to prioritize caps negotiation and allocation
queries depending on the mode enabled is too custom to be
handled using tee and output-selector.
This provides more flexibility and doesn't get in the way of proper
handling of negotiation and allocation queries.
If the video source happens to allow max-zoom to be greater than our maximum hard coded
value of 10 then the user cannot set anything greater than our maximum specified in the
param spec. We have to update our param spec to prevent glib from capping the value

To avoid useless renegotiation of the pipe we can check for
negotiated caps on src_filter and compare it with requested
filter. If the caps intersect, avoid restart.

The image capture mutex and the pad object lock would cause a race
if the pad query was made right when the image probe was running.
The image probe needs the capture mutex and the querying would need
the pad object lock.
It might be racy with the image probe thread as it uses the capture
mutex just like the start-capture handler from camerabin. The
start-capture would be waiting for the source's streaming thread
to stop to be able to set the source state to ready while the
probe would be blocked waiting to acquire the capture mutex.
It causes a deadlock.
There are unnecessary definitions for disabling deprecation warnings.
Since GLIB_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS is not needed anymore in these files,
removing the same.

They are kept until the probes are removed but they will never be
removed as the refcount of the element won't get to 0 because the
probes own references (cyclic refs). As the probes should only be
running as long as the element is running there is no need to
secure a ref for them.
Removes 3 leaked refs of wrappercamerabinsrc
The notify signal is triggered when caps is changed. But instead of
proxying the fixed caps, we query for the caps. Hence, when we go to
READY state, we endup setting template caps on the proxied caps
filter instead of NULL, which leads to negoitation failure. Correctly
proxy NULL caps if this is the new caps. Fixes not negotiated error
when running in cheese. Also fix a leak of caps string in one of the
trace.

In order to be able to change the caps on multiple capsfilters the
source element needs to be stopped, otherwise it will get a few
reconfigure events and might try to renegotiate while the bin
is still transitioning its caps, leading to a not-negotiated failure
and the image capture won't happen because the source will be
unusable.
The solution is to keep the source in paused while the caps are being
changed in the bin, and then bring the element back to playing once
it is done. Unfortunately this increases the image capture latency,
but it should always work.
A possible improvement to reduce the latency is to add another signal
to be called before 'start-capture': 'prepare-capture'. At this step
the camera source should set all caps it needs and get the source
ready for doing the capture as soon as 'start-capture' is called.
This can be done on a future commit
Force filesink to null before posting video-done to make sure the
file was closed.
Had to do it from a separate thread to avoid calling state_change from
a sync message handler.

By adding the video-source-filter during construction time, rather then
patching it in later (*), we can greatly reduce the amount of caps involved
in negotation, speeding up pipeline creation.
I wrote this while working on speeding up the startup of cheese. My cheese
has been modified to add a capsfilter, filtering for only the configured
resolution, with that cheese patch + this patch, the pipeline creation time
goes from aprox 1.1 seconds to aprox 350ms. This is with a Logitech 9000
pro camera, which supports lots of different resolutions at many different
framerates per resolution, causing a caps "explosion" if not filtered.
*) Note the code for this is left in, as it is still necessary if the
video-source-filter is changed between a stop + re-start.

check_and_replace_src() was setting self->app_vid_src to NULL, which
means that an app setting the video-source property, and then starting,
stopping and re-starting the pipeline (ie to make changes to the
video-source-filter property) would after the restart no longer have
a video-source.
This patch fixes this by making gst_camerabin_setup_default_element return a
ref to the passed in user_element, rather then returning the user_element as
is, so that that ref can be passed on to the bin, and the app_vid_src ref
stays valid.
