Original commit message from CVS:
first bunch of conversions to new plugin_init. Includes libs/gst, gst/id3, sys/oss, ext/gnomevfs, gst/typefind and ext/mad.
You guessed it, everything Rhythmbox needs ;)
fixed BMP typefind and made gnomevfs one plugin instead of two while doing this
Original commit message from CVS:
Rename osselement to ossmixer and only open audio device if we have at least one pad. This makes ossmixer *only* open the mixer, which means we can open multiple mixer sessions.
Original commit message from CVS:
Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins:
* a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio
work is underway here, but unfinished.
* A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to
the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for
GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox.
* Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty
basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now.
Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener'
that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other
windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's
needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements.
Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2
elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated!
Original commit message from CVS:
Make GstMixerTrack a GObject. I also want to make it emit several signals, starting work is in here but it's not fully implemented yet. for OSS, this will cause issues, but for ALSA, this is all automated.
Original commit message from CVS:
Interface implementation example: OSS mixer. Also osscommon->osselement so it can be loaded without being a source/sink (for a stand-alone mixer)
Original commit message from CVS:
* actually recurse into sndfile if we are able
* big ladspa cleanups, mainly to comply with the buffer-frames caps property, but also general
cleanups
- the samplerate prop is gone, if you want to set it explicitly (as in for get-based plugins)
you need to use a filtered connection, just like with buffer-frames
* big float2int and int2float changes for buffer-frames compatibility - I think it's quite a bit
simpler
* make the ossclock general, add it to gstaudio, and use it in sndfile as well
i need to update mimetypes, but that's coming soon. there are some other plugins that don't
support buffer-frames, i guess i need to get around to fixing them as well.
Original commit message from CVS:
New mimetypes gone into effect today - this commit changes all old mimetypes over to the new mimetypes spec as described in the previous commit's document. Note: some plugins will break, some pipelines will break, expect HEAD to be broken or at least not 100% working for a few days, but don't forget to report bugs
Original commit message from CVS:
implemented wait_async and unschedule ossclock, and support it in osssink -- really should make this a general clock, ill need it in gstsf
Original commit message from CVS:
compatibility fix for new GST_DEBUG stuff.
Includes fixes for missing includes for config.h and unistd.h
I only ensured for plugins I can build that they work, so if some of them are still broken, you gotta fix them yourselves unfortunately.
Original commit message from CVS:
Plugins cleanup:
* stereo2mono, mono2stereo, int2float, float2int: replaced by audioconvert.
* stereosplit replaced by oneton.
* vumeter replaced by level (and was broken anyway).
* avifile replaced by ffmpeg.
* mjpegtools duplicates functionality of jpeg. jpeg now works with jpeg-mmx,
too, which makes mjpegtools unneeded.
* allow for jpegmmx instead of jpeg.
* openquicktime replaced by qtdemux and ffmpeg. Broken anyway.
* XMMS is broken and will never be fixed.
* vga is broken and will not be fixed anywhere soon.
* videosink has never worked. If it works, add it back to replace xvideosink.
Original commit message from CVS:
- UNITS -> DEFAULT
- added chunk_size option to osssink, buffers will be written to the
devive in chunks of this size, this can increase the accuracy of the
clock on some devices.
Original commit message from CVS:
Some final fixes for the v4lsrc elements.
* remove software sync thread (use GST_ELEMENT_THREAD_SUGGESTED instead)
* make all src elements threadsafe
* fix num_buffer argument setting in v4l2src (VIDIOC_S_PARM)
* re-add bufsize (RO) for v4lmjpegsrc
* fix the A/V sync calculation in all elements (spvf=GST_SECOND/fps, not GST_SECOND*fps)
* probably some more crap....
With all this, it actually works quite well. The TODO files describes the
next steps in order to make a full-featured video recorder based on these
elements and GStreamer (bottom). Making a simple recorder should be fairly
easy now, btw.
Original commit message from CVS:
This implements filtered-caps negotiation for all the v4l*src elements, and removes the accompanying properties since they're no longer needed
