Remove metadata that describes the particular memory of the buffer it is
attached to. We need to do this because in non-passthrough mode we will allocate
new memory for our output buffer.
Improve the propose allocation vmethod by passing the downstream allocation
query to it. This way the vmethod implementation can use properties of the
downstream allocation to generate the upstream query result. If there is no
downstream quety, it means that the element is working in passthrough mode.
Implement a default decide_allocation.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Add support for adding tags to the metadata. with some standard keys, this
should make it possible to describe what the metadata refers to. We should be
able to use this information to decide if a transformation destroys the metadata
or not.
Rename gst_base_transform_suggest to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_sink because
that is what it does. Also remove the caps and size because that is not needed.
Rename gst_base_transform_reconfigure to gst_base_transform_reconfigure_src.
Remove some old unused code in capsfilter.
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Always call the propose_allocation method and provide a default implementation
that passes the query on in passthrough mode so that subclasses can also call
this. Also pass if the transform is in passthrough mode so that the
implementation can adjust its algorithm.
Make it possible to also implement non-inplace fixate functions. Let the fixate
function make the caps writable when needed because some fixate functions might
not need to modify the caps.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Use a frame flag to signal to subclass it should reset any retained
state w.r.t. frame parsing since the frame being passed is 'new',
i.e. not related to previously passed and processed data.
Make the pad activation code look more like other activation code.
Only start the sinkpad task when we decide to activate in pull mode, when we
later add srcpad pullmode this will be needed.
... so as to allow the push-mode case to provide data to subclass
on a buffer by buffer basis (as in regular forward case), rather
than all buffers of a fragment chucked together.
Also refactor buffer handling some more, and add some debug.
... since that is already handled by _update_duration, or should not be done
altogether if the duration is determined by non-estimated means.
Fixes#669502.
Clean up the prepare_output_buffer function.
Reuse the input buffer when it is writable and when doing an
in-place but non-passthrough transform.
Move the copy-metadata function call to the prepare_output_buffer default
function. If subclasses implement a custom prepare_output_buffer, they must also
copy the metadata themselves.
Remove a useless memory copy because prepare_output_buffer already did that.
