Fix a warning in gst/cothreads.c (function was declared extern, defined
static)
Original commit message from CVS:
Check plugin repository up-to-dateness by scanning through all directories

Original commit message from CVS:
Config directory (which currently just holds the registry)ecan now be set
by configure --with-configdir=<directory path>
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated the manual and the docs.
Removed the esdsink in gst/elements/ we have a real one not in the
plugins dir.
Added more APIs to query the plugins, types and caps. more fields now
have a getter and a setter. This is needed to make gstreamer wrapper
fiendly.
Added gst_element_disconnect beacuse we also have a gst_element_connect

Fixed drag and drop in gstplay
More verbose errors in gstasyndisksrc
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive, massive update of most source files. I went through and cleaned
up all the warnings that I could, which involved fixing some of the plugins.
The configure.in script was re-arranged and cleaned up so, and a check for
libtool 1.3.5 was added to autogen.sh. Added checks for Gtk and GNOME.
Some plugins were removed from the list of things to build for various reasons.
Added GST_DEBUG_FORCE_DISABLE in gstgetbits, since that's time critical and
even an if() from a DEBUG can significantly increase runtimes.
Original commit message from CVS:
Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
GST_DEBUG now takes a category parameter, which is the same as GST_INFO
system. They are now called GST_CAT_*. All the GST_DEBUGs are set to 0
for now, we need to go and fix all these eventually.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added --enable-info and --disable-info-system
nothing specified = INFO enabled, mask to 0x00000001
--enable-info = INFO enabled, mask to 0xffffffff
--disable-info = INFO compiled into a nop and thus disabled
Original commit message from CVS:
Cleaned up INFO system some more, added API to select categories, modified
the printout function to print cleanly for GST_INIT info (the default min)
and spew function:line debug_string [element] for everything else.
Eventually could make even that configurable easily enough, just check
against another bitmap instead of checking for == GST_INIT.
Original commit message from CVS:
Started work on better ghostpad management, and started to build the low-

Commented out a too liberal assert in gstscheduler.c
Added GST_BUFFER_DISCONTINUOUS
tried to fix asyndisksrc
Original commit message from CVS:
Added DEBUG, INFO, and ERROR systems. Very little code is converted yet.
Policy decisions need to be made as to what kinds of cases get what kind
of response, and what the default ERROR response should be. Right now it
will print out all the information, then have gdb spew a stack trace.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reparented everything to GstElement, removing GstSrc, GstSink, GstFilter,
and GstConnection. Also fixed a bug in gst_bin_iterate_func.
Original commit message from CVS:
Pending editor changes.
fixes for autoplug of elementary MPEG1 video streams
make sure mp3 types get compiled
videosink changes for xml loading
Original commit message from CVS:
Mostly minor little changes, but two interesting things:
1) removed a pthread_join from the gst_thread_main_loop. commented out
because the thread isn't supposed to run pthread_join, the main process is.
2) Fixed a major bug with cothreads in threads. Had to add MAP_FIXED to
the mmap() of the cothread stack. Presumably the gilbc that ships with
redhat 7.0 now places these mmap requests somewhat randomly. Since they
*must* be exactly where we expect them, it was failing. MAP_FIXED forces
it to put it where we say.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added code to attempt the scheduling of chained cases. Very simply right
now. Also added code to allow the use_cothread flag of a bin to force all
the chains to use cothreads as well.
Original commit message from CVS:
More massive changes to the scheduling system. Moved the scheduling code
to gstscheduler.[ch], so an child bin can replace the scheduler.
Introduced the concept of chains, which are subsets of the list of managed
elements for a given manager bin, which get scheduled as separate entities.
gst_bin_iterate_func should be pretty much fixed now, the scheduling code
gets to do all the hard work.
Cothreaded case work in the couple tests I've tried, chained is next.
Original commit message from CVS:
Lots of editor changes:
- restucturing of object creation
- loading of xml files
- visual eye candy: color changes on mouseover
- active object is indicated
- property box changes for boolean and enum types
- property box: create properties per element
- show pads/caps in propertybox
added gst_util_get_bool_arg in gstutils.c
added default properties for audiosink
Original commit message from CVS:
Added handoff signals to fakesrc and fakesink
Added scheduling property to identity
Added GST_STATE_TRANSITION macro to check for state changes.
Modified gstbin and gstthread to the new state change macros
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a bug in gstbin.c the manager was not detected.
Some other testcases
bin, thread, pipeline use the elementfactory on gst_*_new
Original commit message from CVS:
Implemented some test cases... they all fail :-(
Added a flag to identity to for loop_based behaviour.
Added a signal to fakesink when a buffer is consumed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixing two bugs:
1) I had commented out an unlock. duh.
2) changed the _get function to return the buffer rather than call _push
Also uncommented some debugging I'd turned off. Need to solve the verbosity
problem somehow, I think by way of debug levels as well as info levels...
Original commit message from CVS:
Massive scheduling changes (again). Not entirely complete, but getting
closer. Need to think about various scheduling plans that we might want
to produce, and figure out the rules for what is legal, and how to get
the results we need as far as the plan.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added API to dynamically create GstCaps and GstProps
Changed typefind of mpeg1 to set the GstProps.
autoplugging now works again for mpeg1, whoohoo!
Original commit message from CVS:
Cleanup in gsttypes.c:
removed the crazy GList of GHashTables, since the autoplugger will
use the GstCaps and elementfactories instead of the type system.
We don't maintain a list anymore of the elements for the specific
removed unused code in XML loading/saving.
Cleanup in gstelementfactory:
removed the register/unregister methods, register is now implicit when
gst_elementfactory_new is called. _unregister is now _destroy.
Removed logic to register/unregister the types in gsttypes.
added methods to query if the factory can src/sink a GstCaps
Make sure the elementfactory is set in the element_class when a new
element is registered with gst_elementfactory_new.
gst.c: properly register the basic bins
gst_pipeline: use new gstautoplug (next checkin)
gstprops: fixed an error in compatibility check
registry test program changes
plugins: misc changes for the new caps system.
Original commit message from CVS:
The typefind function now returns a GstCaps structure instead of a gboolean.
modified some plugins to this new behaviour
Fixed autoplugging for the mpg123 case. When an element is selected in
autoplugging and the caps do not match, another element is selected until the
caps match. only examples/autoplug works because gstmediaplay uses a threaded
setup that does not seem to work with the current scheduling.
Original commit message from CVS:
some editor changes= loading of save pipelines (not working)
added include in gstdebug.h for getpid
property loading implemented
GstXML can now be queried for the toplevel elements.
Original commit message from CVS:
WARNING: Don't grab this updated unless you're really, REALLY sure.
WARNING: Wait for the next one.
Whole lotta changes here, including a few random bits:
examples/*/Makefile: updated to use `libtool gcc`, not just `gcc`
gst/
gstbuffer.h: updated to new flag style
gst.c, gstdebug.h: added new debugging for function ptrs
gstpipeline.c: set type of parent_class to the class, not the object
gstthread.c: ditto
plugins/
cdparanoia/cdparanoia.c: added an argument type, updated some defaults
cobin/spindentity.c: updated to new do/while loopfunction style
mp3encode/lame/gstlame.c: argument types, whole lotta lame options
tests/: various changes
Now, for the big changes: Once again, the scheduling system has changed.
And once again, it broke a whole bunch of things. The gist of the change
is that there is now a function pointer for gst_pad_push and gst_pad_pull,
instead of a hard-wired function. Well, currently they are functions, but
that's for debugging purposes only, they just call the function pointer
after spewing lots of DEBUG().
This changed the GstPad structure a bit, and the GstPad API as well.
Where elements used to provide chain() and pull() functions, they provide
chain() and get() functions. gst_pad_set_pull[region]_function has been
changed to get_pad_set_get[region]_function. This means all the elements
out there that used to have pull functions need to be updated. The calls
to that function have been changed in the normal elements, but the names
of the functions passed is still _pull[region](), which is an aesthetic
issue more than anything.
As for what doesn't work yet, just about anything dealing with Connections
is hosed, meaning threaded stuff won't work. This will be fixed about 12
hours from now, after I've slept, etc. The simplefake.c test works in
both cothreaded and chained cases, but not much else will work due to the
Connection problem. Needless to say, don't grab this unless you *need*
these features *now*, else wait to update this stuff until tomorrow.
I'm going to sleep now.
Original commit message from CVS:
Move a step closer to autoplugging. The element selection in the
pipeline works.
Slight modification to the typefind function handling.
removed the stupid mime types in the mpeg decoders.
Adjust videosink for the new caps handling.
Modified the queue example to show an error in plan creation; Erik can you
solve this? This is the type of pipelines autoplugging uses.
Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the GstPadFactory and added the GstPadTemplate.
The GstPadFactory is an easy way to define a pad with capabilities.
The GstPadFactory is converted into a GstPadTemplate. The template is
used to create new pads and to expose the possible pads used in an
element to the plugin system.
updated mp3parse, mpg123, cdparanoia to the new API.
Rerun gstreamer-register because the XML definition has changed.
Original commit message from CVS:
More Caps changes, this change introduces the padfactory. the GstPadFactory
will be used to describe the pads that an element will contain during
its lifetime.
mpg123 and mp3parse serve as an example.
More XML changes to incorporate the padfactories.
Original commit message from CVS:
Implemented the hybrid scheduling system for sources and connections
outside the current Bin. Is a bit hackish in one place, but I'll work out
a way to make that cleaner soon. queue.c in tests now works nicely in all
cases. More to come later.
Original commit message from CVS:
First attempt at rebuilding the type/plugin system
- make sure caps/props are saved in the registry
autoplugging is completely broken.
removed the typefactories and typeids from all the pads in the plugins
XML load/save is ok (be sure to rerun gstreamer-register)
Original commit message from CVS:
Snapshot of work-in-progress do deal with out-of-bin elements. Current
system is very likely going to be ditched due to its complexity and the
fact that it doesn't work right now. More than that, it's generating some
really odd results in my test program, which aren't readily explainable.
If you want to keep a working copy of your working copy (heh), don't update
until this is replaced with a hybrid approach. This approach will be the
beginning of a plan generator that can construct full hybrid schedules
given hints from various places.
Hybrid means that cothreads are used, but there are chunks of the pipeline
that are actually dealt with by chaining. This can improve speed by
reducing cothread switches (which are much cheaper than thread switches,
but still far from free, about 570 cycles on my PIII), but does carry a
complexity burden. Luckily, the structure of GStreamer allows that burden
to live entirely in create_plan. Luck? I think not ;-)
Original commit message from CVS:
Another big set of changes. Connections are now also pullfunc based.
gstqueue has been updated, I don't know of any other connections offhand.
There are still a few things that need doing, specifically the concept
of a source or connection with connections to multiple thread contexts is
not dealt with. This may force us to move the threadstate from the
element to the pad, maybe keeping the element's copy for simple cases.
Then the Bin would create a structure to pass to the cothreaded _wrappers
of any such elements, which would detail the pads that are to be dealt with
by this particular cothread context.
That will speed things up to, since we don't have to look through the list
of all pads for every Src or Connection element for every iteration, we can
simply step through the list provided by the plan. Special case might even
have a single pad pointer sitting there to trump the list, if there's only
one (the common case anyway).
Task 23098 is tracking these changes. The main task 22588 depends on that
subtask, as well as 22240, which is a consistency check on PAD_DISABLED.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the way things are scheduled, especially sources. A Src used to
have a push() function, and optionally a pushregion() to deal with async
reads, etc. That whole thing has gone away, in favor of providing a
pull() function for the output (Src) pad instead, ala chain functions.
This makes constructing cothreaded schedules out of non-loop elements
somewhat easier. Basically there was always a question as to which pad
was being dealt with. In the pullregion case, cothread-specific data was
used to try to pass the region struct to the right place, which is a slow
hack. And in general, the push function severely limited the kind of
tricks that could be played when there's more than one output pad, such as
a multi-out file reader with async capabilities on each pad independently.
This changes the way cothread scheduling occurs. Instead of the hack to
deal with Src's by calling their push() function (or optionally the
pushregion(), in certain cases), we now are working towards a general
mechanism where pads are the only thing that are dealt with directly.
An optimization was made in the process of doing this: the loopfunction
actually run as the outer [stack] frame of the cothread is now set more
intelligently in create_plan() based on what kind of element it is. We
now have:
loopfunc_wrapper: used for loop-based elements, it simply calls the
loopfunc in a loop, paying attention to COTHREAD_STOPPING (see
below). It currently does other, soon to be depracated, stuff.
pullsrc_wrapper: wraps a Src that's not loop-based (since your options
are now loop- or pull-based)
There will be a couple more to deal with other cases, such as Connections
and chain-based elements. The general idea is that it's a lot more
efficient to make the decisions once in create_plan than to keep doing
this huge if/else chain in the wrapper. Just choose the right wrapper up
front. It'll be most apparent performance-wise in the case of whichever
element context is switched to first for each iteration, since the whole
wrapper setup is done for every iteration.
The tricky part is that there is now a bit of overloading of the function
pointers in a pad. The current meanings (possibly to change a bit more
soon) are:
chainfunc: as always, chainfunc pointer is mirrored between peer pads
(this may change, and the chain func may end up in pushfunc)
pushfunc: SrcPad: gst_pad_pushfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer
SinkPad: none (may take over chainfunc, see below) pullfunc:
SrcPad: Src or Connection's function to construct buffers
SinkPad: gst_pad_pullfunc_proxy, cothread_switch to peer
There are a number of issues remaining with the scheduling, not the least
of which is the fact that Connections are still dealt with the old way,
with _push() functions and such. I'm trying to figure out a way to unify
the system so it makes sense. Following the scheduling system is hard
enough, trying to change it is murder.
Another useful scheduling addition, mentioned above, is COTHREAD_STOPPING.
It's an element flag that's used to signal whatever code is running in
cothread context that it should be finishing up and exiting soon. An
example of this is in plugins/cobin/spindentity.c. All the loops should
now be composed of do/while loops, rather than while(1) loops:
do {
buf = gst_pad_pull(spindentity->sinkpad);
gst_pad_push(spindentity->srcpad,buf);
} while (!GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING(element));
The reason for this is that COTHREAD_STOPPING may be set before the above
loop ever gets started. It wouldn't do for the body of the loop to never
once get called, that would simply stall the pipeline. Note that only the
core library code is ever responsible for setting and unsetting this flag.
All elements have to do is respond to it by cleanly exiting the loop and
the function holding it.
This is needed primarily to allow iterations to occur properly.
Basically, there's a single entry point in the cothread scheduling loop,
gst_bin_iterate_func() simply switches to this cothread. If the element
in this context is allowed to loop infinitely, nothing would even switch
back to the context from which the iterate() was originally called. This
is a bit of a problem. The solution is for there to be an implicit switch
back to the originating context. Now, even I'm not sure exactly how this
works, but if the cothread that's switched to actually returns, execution
returns back to the calling context, i.e. iterate_func().
COTHREAD_STOPPING is therefore set just before switching into this
(currently randomly chosen) context, on the assumption that it will return
promptly after finishing its duties. The burden of clearing the flag
falls to the various wrapper functions provided by the Bin code, thus
element writers don't have to worry about doing that at all (and simply
shouldn't).
Related changes:
All the sources in elements/ have been changed to reflect the new system.
FIXMEs:
1) gstpipeline.c calls gst_src_push at some point, dunno why, it's
commented out now.
2) any other sources, including vcdsrc, dvdsrc, and v4lsrc will break
badly and need to be modified to work as pull-based sources.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changes made to the DEBUG system. New header file gstdebug.h holds the
stuff to keep it out of gst.h's hair. DEBUG prints out the process id,
cothread id, source filename and line number. Two new macros DEBUG_ENTER
and DEBUG_LEAVE are used to show the entry and exit of a given function.
This eventually might be used to construct call trace graphs, even taking
cothreads into account. This would be quite useful in visualizing the
scheduling mechanism.
Minor changes to various debug messages.
Also sitting in gstdebug.h is a prototypical DEBUG_ENTER that's capable of
performing DEBUG_LEAVE automatically. It does this by utilizing a
little-known GCC extension that allows one to call a function with the
same parameters as the current function. The macro uses this to basically
call itself. A boolean is used to ensure that when it calls itself it
actually runs the body of the function. In the meantime it prints stuff
out before and after the real function, as well as constructing a
debugging string. This can be used eventually to provide call-wide data
on the DEBUG lines, instead of having to replicate data on each call to
DEBUG. More research is needed into how this would most cleanly be fit
into some other chunk of code, like GStreamer (I think of this DEBUG trick
as a separate project, sorta).
Unfortunately, the aforementioned DEBUG trick interacts quite poorly with
cothreads. Almost any time it's used in a function that has anything
remotely to do with a cothread context (as in, it runs in one), a segfault
results from the __builtin_apply call, which is the heart of the whole
thing. If someone who really knows assembly could analyze the resulting
code to see what's really going on, we might find a way to fix either the
macro or the cothreads (I'm thinking that there's something we missed in
constructing the cothreads themselves) so this works in all cases.
In the meantime, please insert both DEBUG_ENTER and DEBUG_LEAVE in your
functions. Be sure to put DEBUG_ENTER after your variable declarations
and before any functional code, not to put the function name in any DEBUG
strings (it's already there, trust me), and put a DEBUG_LEAVE if you care
enough.
Changes are going to happen in the way DEBUGs and other printouts occur,
so stay tuned.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a check to see if the plugin actually exists before even bothering
to try to load it. Saves a fair amount of debugging spew with
_gst_plugin_spew enabled.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added multiple types to the pads.
Added first preview of the capabilities system.
Autoplugging is seriously broken with these (and other) changes.
Original commit message from CVS:
Enhanced debugging by making DEBUG() print out the cothread ID as well as
the process ID. cothread_getcurrent returns the current cothread ID, or
-1 if cothreads aren't set up in this process context.
Original commit message from CVS:
Rearranged cothread_switch a bit to move all the code for error conditions
to the end, using goto's to get there. This has the presumed advantage of
consolidating all the normally run code into one chunk, reducing jumps
(and the associated penalties in any modern processor) and limiting cache-
line usage. It may be instructive to look at the generated assembly for
this revision and the previous, to see if gcc is smart enough to do this
for us anyway.
If you want to turn off some of the checks (they are all checks for NULL
pointers, if you're curious) for a speed gain, disable the #define of
COTHREAD_PARANOID at the top.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added code to force the gsttypes plugin to load before gstelements, by
simply having gstelements.c request the plugin. Solves some dependency
problems. This is the correct method of doing this for now, though I had
a thought:
Have a static list of hard dependencies that the plugin system is responsible
for satisfying before even trying to load the plugin. Makes plugin design
easier.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed a dumb mistake: in gst_element_set_loop_function, it was forcing
the cothread's entry function to change. This is totally wrong, the
create_plan function in GstBin is responsible for setting that to its
own internal helper function. Code removed outright...
Original commit message from CVS:
Closed 22145 - gstelement.c: support hotswapping of loopfunc
Added a flag GST_ELEMENT_NEW_LOOPFUNC that's set when a new loopfunc is set,
which needs to be obeyed by the loopfuncs themselves. The assumption is
that only a loopfunc or an element that knows what it's doing will ever
change the loopfunc pointer, so they can be responsible for exitting
the loopfunc itself appropriately.
The loopfunc_wrapper function has been changed to call the loopfunc
pointer itself in a loop. If the loopfunc changes, the current loop is
supposed to exit, which causes the loopfunc_wrapper to start up the new
loopfunc.

Closed task 22143 - gstelemnt.c: complete gst_element_connect

instead of a single NULL->PLAYING.

Code cleanup, make it adhere to the Gnome/Gtk+ code formatting, which is
quite clean and more readable.
Renamed parseavi to avidecoder
Implemented seeking/time display/pause/play/stop/clean exit to gstmediaplay
Added an element flag to indicate that it cannot deal with noncontigous
buffers. If such an element is found in the pipeline, seeking is disabled
for the complete stream (avidecoder cannot deal with seeking until we convert
it to a loop based element with pull_region to fetch the indeces etc...)
Original commit message from CVS:
Misc fixes and cleanups
A reworked gstplay. Now it is called gstmediaplay. gstplay is a custom

put the tables of the mpeg audio encoder in a header file.
maybe faster quantisation for the mpeg encoder.
Original commit message from CVS:
More Docs updates.
Added plugin documentation. I fear we need a gstdoc implementation
that loads plugins and does introspection on them. I think we should
automatically create the docs for the pads and mime types the plugins
provide. Does anyone have enough perl knowledge to add these features? I
allready changed the C code to output the pad definitions but my perl
knowledge is too limited, for now, to implement the rest of the needed
functionality...

Fix on x86 architectures - was just checking for 386, D'oh.
Fix autogen to run autoheader _before_ autoconf, since it generates a
required file (config.h.in, which I just removed from CVS since its an
autogenerated one). Also fix messed up variables in gst/Makefile.am
Original commit message from CVS:
Begun to add support for non i386 architectures, with the help of Chris
Emerson. Added bits to configure to figure out architecture, and added
some alternatives for PPC. Should cause no problems on i386, but I'll
check after this commit, but doesn't yet work on PPC by a fair way...
Original commit message from CVS:
The vorbis encoder
A test program to convert an mp3 to a vorbis file.
A fix for the dynamic plugin loader factory_find was not working.
Don't forget to run gstreamer-register after installing the plugins!
Original commit message from CVS:
Due to popular demand :-), I added a vorbis decoder.
The encoder is not yet functional.
Small cosmetic changes to gstcpu.c
Beware:
You *need* to install libvorbis.a from the main vorbis CVS.
you *have* to change the line in libtool to
deplibs_check_method="pass_all"
because else the plugin shared library refuses to link against the
static libvorbis.a library. This is a hack. I have no intention in
including libvorbis into the gstreamer CVS tree and making it
libtool compatible.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added CPU detection.
Added SSE optimisation to mpeg_play
Modified the mpeg2 decoder and gstidct to use cpu detection.
Cleanups in the mpeg1 and mpeg2 decoders.
Original commit message from CVS:
Changes to gstreamer-config to include gtk+ libs
manual changes: queues, threads, programs
gsteditor does not crash anymore.
gstpipline new should return a GstElement *
fixed ac3dec for new getbits
fixes to gstreamer-launch
more efficient startup for gstplay.
Original commit message from CVS:
Faster and modular getbits implementation.
Fixed a bug in the audiosink that could lock up your box on bad MB.
Modified the plugins to use the new getbits functions.
Original commit message from CVS:
Externalized the plugin information in /etc/gstreamer/reg.xml
- no need to do a plugin_load_all()
- plugins are loaded when needed
- typedetect functions are loaded when needed (still buggy)
- no need to check for the existance of the plugin in the codecs
- added gstreamer-register to create the reg.xml file
- renamed launch to gstreamer-launch
- plugins need to register the typefactory they provide
modified the plugins to meet the new design
modified the plugins to correctly set their pad types
autoplugging can be done without loading the plugins now
Original commit message from CVS:
More docs (most of them just empty...)
Added automatic pad plugging.
Added automatic dynamic pad plugging.
Changed some codecs to correctly set their pad types.
Original commit message from CVS:
A first (rude) attempt at autoplug.
Autoplugging selects appropriate codecs to connect src to sink, adds
them to the pipeline and connect pads.
Autoplugging will run the typedetect plugin if the src pad has no MIME
type.
No autoplugging is done on the src and sink pads, it's hardcoded:
connect 'src to sink'.
No attempt at creating threads.
No attempt at dynamically autoplugging not yet existing pads.
Changes to (some) plugins to properly set their MIME types.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added the bufferpool handler.
This object is able to generate buffers and is passed between elements to
exchange buffers. Elements can also use this pool to efficiently generate
output buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
Megapatch, changes which states are available, how they're used, and how
they're set. Also modifies the scheduling system, breaking pulled
buffers. Check mail archives for more details.
Original commit message from CVS:
Better error recovery in teh MPEG1 decoder.
Removed MPEG2 stuff from the MPEG1 decoderand make it ignore MPEG2
streams.
Some extra framerates in the MPEG2 decoder (from libmpeg2)
Round image size up to the nearest multiple of 16 (MPEG2 decoder)
Original commit message from CVS:
This is the audio/video sync release.
Changed the mpegvideoparser to parse complete pictures. Added the PTS
timestamps to the pictures.
Added PTS timestamps to the MPEG audio frames.
Made the clock a littlebit better.
Gstplay now uses two more threads one for video, one for audio playback.
Added the first QoS callbacks for the pads.
hopefully fix an mmx compilation problem.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added seeking to some of the plugins.
some MMX speedups in the MPEG decoders.
Better YUV to MMX conversion
implemented seeking to gstplay.
Original commit message from CVS:
Switched Cr and Cb in YUV2RGB
fixed the avi parser (gstriff had wrong size)
the system_encoder can now do video only system streams
sanitized the colorspace and scaler api.
added fast self modifying asm scaler.
worked on the typefind stuff.
added a cool media player (gstplay) it uses the typefinder to playback
avi, mpeg1 (system and video) streams. It is also a testbed and a real app.
Original commit message from CVS:
Reworked the audio resampler.
Added first frames skipping to the mp3 and ac3 parser (this allows you to
skip a number of frames before pushing them).
Removed wrong mmx code from the encoder.
Added Macroblocks per slice to the encoder.
added bilinear and bicubic interpolation to the videoscaler.
Added a MPEG1 multiplexer (no SCR or mux rate calculations yet)
Added some options (framerate to the encoder/decoder)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a basic element: pipefilter. This element connects the stdin/stdout
of an external program into the pipeline. We now have virtually all of
the capabilities of sox, lame, ...
Original commit message from CVS:
Rewrote the mpeg1 system stream parser.
Fixed a motion compensation bug (was a bug on Intels site)
Faster/Better/more accurate motion detection in the mpeg encoder
Added an audio resampler (convert 48000 kHz to 44100 for example) does not work
Fixed rate control in the mpeg2 encoder.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed the mpeg2 encoder. Added MMX optimisations for motion estimation.
Added another mpeg1 encoder.
Added Two filters: smooth and median (a median cut filter)
Made the queue pull buffers.
Original commit message from CVS:
More changes to the mpeg parser and encoder.
It seems like the mpeg2 decoder does not like some MPEG1 videos. Use
mpeg_play for now (eg. AlienSong)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added MMX optimized yuv2rgb (AlienSong now plays back at only 6% CPU)
Added mpeg1 picture skipping and fixed a buffer overflow.
Added a system clock. The audiosink can now adjust the clock.
Fixed incorrect behaviour on 8, 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits displays.
Cleanup of the videosink, it now uses the color conversion library when
needed.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a colorspace library and removed yuv2rgb conversion from the
videosink.
The aviencoder should now more or less work.
Original commit message from CVS:
Documentation updates. All standard library objects and standard
elements are documented. Modified some of the elements to more
accuratly report about their arguments so the documentation builds
more reasonable output.
Added aviencoder and jpegencoder elements (not working yet)
Original commit message from CVS:
Added jpeg decoder. the avi decoder now configures the jpeg codec if
an MJPG encoded avi is found. Fixed riff parsing. readded rgb_draw
functions to the videosink. jpeglib is used to decode the jpeg image.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added the riff code into a seperate library in /libs dir. The plugin
loader also checks the /libs path.
The avi parser now uses the riff library.
WAV is broken.
Original commit message from CVS:
Various cleanups. Moved the overlay code to a specialized widget.
One error I cannot seem to fix: switching desktops does not disable the
overlay.
Original commit message from CVS:
This is a rather large patch. Switched on -Wall compiler flag and fixed
the warnings.
Made the Video for Linux more like it should be.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added a pull function in the gstpad. Modified the videosink to implement
the pull. This function allows a source element to request a buffer
from the destination. This is much more efficient because the
videosink can then pass a buffer with SHM to the element, which does
not require an aditional memcpy.
removed scaling from the videosink. I need something better.
Original commit message from CVS:
Speedup in mpg123 parsing. speedup in mp1videoparse. rearanged the
MPEG player got rid of some memcpy. bit handling changes.
MMX code for the IDCT and motion compensation in mpeg_play.
Almost as fast as the commercial mpeg player mtv, but with a much
better video quality :-)
Original commit message from CVS:
The first functional video sink... Removed all of the video stuff
from the MPEG video decoder. Fixed a bug in smoothwave.
The MPEG video decoder still does the YUV->RGB conversion.
Original commit message from CVS:
Made queue default bigger.
fixed parsing errors in mp3parse mpeg1parse mp1videoparse: more than 2
zeros and a 1 is also a sync.
fixed MPEG1 video SKIP_PICTURE which caused a segfault. AlienSong now
plays as it should do. Skips are currently ignored and give some error
on the console, need to clean this up.
Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed the queue length (fixed length 5 for now).
fixed mpeg1 video rate control.
AlienSong segfaults sometimes. My other movies don't....
Original commit message from CVS:
Changed the way state is dealt with when a child is added to the bin. The
note states that the COMPLETE state should probably reflect nothing more
than whether or not there is a child in the bin, not whether or not all
children are COMPLETE. I need to write out a few scenarios for complex
pipeline manipulations to figure out how all the states should interact.
The idea is to maintain the ability to dynamically recofigure the
pipeline.
Original commit message from CVS:
Compile a test program to ensure that we have working atomic resource
counting.
A few small changes (include headers, fix a cast) to stop compiler
warnings.
