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:
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:
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:
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
Original commit message from CVS:
make v4l element do all calls in one thread, this makes performance much better (because of kernel locking, more threads doesn't make sense anyway)
Original commit message from CVS:
another batch of connect->link fixes
please let me know about issues
and please refrain of making them yourself, so that I don't spend double
the time resolving conflicts
Original commit message from CVS:
v4l plugins:
* add open/close signals
v4l2 plugins:
* add open/close signals
* move source format enumeration from v4l2element to v4l2src
* adapt to the final v4l2 API in kernel 2.5 (patches for 2.4 on http://bytesex.org/patches)
* small tweaks
Original commit message from CVS:
This patch fixes some issues caused by design issues in video4linux, adds
some nicety to video4linux2 plugins and does some more evil stuff:
* video4linux doesn't tell us which formats are supported by a card, so
the only way to know this is by simply trying it out. This patch adds that.
* v4lmjpegsink didnt have a bufferpool yet - is integrated now.
* all copy() bufferpool functions have been removed since they're not needed.
* v4lmjpegsink doesnt have a free() function, because hen playing the frames,
all this is already handled. When the frame is not played, nothing has to
be done. In total, the function is not needed.
* adds a get_caps() function to v4l2src
* some minor crap
Original commit message from CVS:
This patch:
1) would provide v4l2 plugins, if only the CVS server wouldn't bork on all commits :-(. This patch will come later on in a separate commit when SF fixes her repository.
2) it fixes capsnego for all the video4linux1 plugins
3) it rewrites the debugging of all v4l1 plugins, which now make use of the standard gstreamer debugging features (gst-mask=...). This should make debugging video4linux1/gstreamer problems much easier then it used to be.

Original commit message from CVS:
- Changed plugins for new APIs
- modularized audiofile.
- added seeking, query and convert functions for mad, mpeg2dec,
avidemux, mpegdemux, mpegparse
- sync updates to oss. removed the ossclock for now
Original commit message from CVS:
* some s/KHz/Hz/ fixes in osssrc
* added dxr3 plugin from rehan khwaja <rehankhwaja@yahoo.com>, with some
consistency-with-the-rest-of-gst adjustments
Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
s/@GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS@/$(GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS)/
@-substitued variables variables are defined as make variables automagically,
and this gives the user the freedom to say make GST_PLUGIN_LDFLAGS=-myflag
Original commit message from CVS:
* get up-to-date with the gst_caps_debug api
* improved capsnego in mad
* improved capsnego in adder
* improved capsnego in intfloat plugins
* unbroke capsnego in stereomono plugins
* fix cothread stack allocation within the main thread in new cothreads
Original commit message from CVS:
adding 'videosink' element
It's basically a rewritten xvideosink, but is more modular and allows 'hooks'.
It is needed by GstVideoWidget in gst-player
Original commit message from CVS:
Re-add v4lelement as an actual element. Useless within pipes but extremely useful in generic video4linux audodetection of features and such
Original commit message from CVS:
Added pthread software sync for improved timestamps and pthread queue and sync control to make sure that frames are queued if we sync on them
Original commit message from CVS:
New video4linux plugins, can also handle hardware JPEG devices. First check-in, probably has lots of bugs which will be fixed when we find them
