These reconfigure based on the caps and plugin in converters if
necessary. This also makes switching between compressed and raw
streams work flawlessly without loosing the states of any element
somewhere or having running time problems.
Before playbin2 would use different selectors for raw audio and
compressed audio (and the same for video) and used different
pads from playsink. This made the involved logic much more
complex and was not implemented completely in playsink, which
made it impossible to support files with a compressed and
uncompressed stream that is support by the sink.
playbin2 handles raw/non-raw streams the same now and the
decision is left to playsink, which now can also handle
caps changes from raw to non-raw and the other way around.
Fixes bug #632788.
Fix a bug when reconfiguring the playsink where the subpicture
stream is broken by attempting to connect it through
streamsynchroniser and second time.
Streamsynchronizer excepts to see stream-changed msg for all streams, but to
arrange for this, video and subtitle streams need to be decoupled by means
of queues (due to pad blocks that may occur).
Fixes#626463.
Specifically, as the latter may have one thread pushing EOS to several streams,
that needs to be decoupled into various thread to prevent preroll hanging
problems.
Logic for choice of GST_PAD_LINK_CHECK_* is as follows:
* Where return of pad_link wasn't checked before : NOTHING
* Where linking is between known compatible elements : NOTHING
* All other cases : TEMPLATE_CAPS
Slashes down playsink reconfigure by up to 50% cpu time.
This makes sure that we always keep the display aspect ratio and
add black borders if necessary, which is usually something you want
for viewing a video.
Before gapless playback failed when switching between audio-only,
video-only and audio-video files, when choosing different clocks
and when the different streams had different durations.
This is now handled by a helper element, which keeps track of the
running times of all streams and synchronizes them.
Fixes bug #602437.
We need to clear the pointer to our ts-offset element when we destroy the video
chain elements to make sure nobody derefs it to invalid memory afterwards.
Otherwise we would end up with a bogus ->audiochain->ts_offset field
which would cause segfaults/assertions when trying to modify the
'ts-offset' property in update_av_offset().
Was easy to trigger when using a list of audio+video files mixed with
video-only files in totem.
Move the convert_frame function to playsink and make it part of the API. This is
in preparation to add the convert_frame signal to playsink.
