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.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of modifications to the plugin system.
- Added a GstPluginfeature object that serves as a base class for all
plugin contents.
- changed the plugin API, everyhting is now added with
gst_plugin_add_feature
- typefactories are named now so that they can be located easily and filled
in at plugin load.
- mime types like "video/raw image/raw" are gone for now.
- lots of plugin updates (style and API changes)
- tested with an without registry.
- updates to various tools.
- added a little testsuite to test/show how you can load plugins (4 modes)
Test this one, Almost everything has changed :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a few plugins so that mpeg1 encoding sorta works.
Added an mpeg1 encoder example, it uses the autoplugger to convert
the stream to audio/video, which is then fed to the encoders.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of updates to the plugins for caps negotiation.
Added YUY2 output to the win32 dlls.
Added a colorspace converter in gstplay
Original commit message from CVS:
More work on capsnego, mostly proxying
Added another testsuite for capsnego
Added caps to vorbisdec, mp3parse, mp1videoparse
Redid the queue proxy handling a bit.
