Remove the negotiation from the state change function, it causes data transfer
and bufferpool negotiation, which is not supposed to be done. Since we have the
reconfigure state on the pad, the create function will do the negotiation as
soon as it gets in the streaming thread.
Don't change the state of the bufferpool when going between PAUSED and PLAYING,
it will dealloc and realloc all buffers, which is clearly too invasive. We will
need to add some other way of unblocking the bufferpool.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Add a new fill virtual method to basesrc. The purpose of this method is to fill
a provided buffer with data.
Add a default implementation of the create method that allocates a buffer and
calls the fill method on it. This would allow the base class to implement
bufferpool and allocator negotiation on behalf of the subclasses.
Fix the blocksize property.
Make filesrc use the new fill method.
Add a boolean to the flush_stop event to make it possible to implement flushes
that don't reset_time.
Make basesink post async_done with the reset_time property from the flush stop
event.
Fix some unit tests
This allows subclass to indicate that size reported by src may not be static
and should as such be updated regularly, rather than only when really
needed.
Particular examples are filesrc or fdsrc reading from a file that is still
growing (e.g. being downloaded).
Fixes#652037.
This reverts commit 934faf163c.
Original commit leads to possibly sending newsegment event downstream
in pull mode. In push mode, quite some downstream elements
are likely to only expect newsegment event following a seek they performed
and as such may have their state messed up.
Avoid installing a setcaps function on the srcpad and calling the setcaps
function, we can do more efficiently with sending the event ourself and calling
our vmethod.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Doing so avoids a large timestamp gap between first and second buffer
for live sources which take time to start up.
The first buffer now has a "live" timestamp based on the running time,
as other buffers do.
