Add gst_video_format_get_chroma_type() helper function to determine
the GstVaapiChromaType from a standard GStreamer video format. It is
possible to reconstruct that from GstVideoFormatInfo but it is much
simpler (and faster?) to use the local GstVideoFormatMap table.
Drop GstVaapiImageFormat helpers since everything was moved to the new
GstVideoFormat based API. Don't bother with backwards compatibility and
just bump the library major version afterwards.
Drop obsolete GST_VAAPI_IS_xxx() helper macros since we are no longer
deriving from GObject and so those were only checking for whether the
argument was NULL or not. This is now irrelevant, and even confusing
to some extent, because we no longer have type checking.
Note: this incurs more type checking (review) but the libgstvaapi is
rather small, so this is manageable.
Port GstVaapiVideoPool, GstVaapiSurfacePool and GstVaapiImagePool to
GstVaapiMiniObject. Drop gst_vaapi_video_pool_get_caps() since it was
no longer used for a long time. Make object allocators static, i.e.
local to the shared library.
Add gst_vaapi_decoder_get_frame_with_timeout() helper function that will
wait for a frame to be decoded, until the specified timeout in microseconds,
prior to returning to the caller.
This is a fix to performance regression from 851cc0, whereby the vaapidecode
loop executed on the srcpad task was called to often, thus starving all CPU
resources.
Add more attributes for raw decoding modes, i.e. directly through the
libgstvaapi helper library. In particular, add presentation timestamp,
duration and a couple of flags (interlaced, TFF, RFF, one-field).
Drop the following functions that are now obsolete:
- gst_vaapi_context_get_surface()
- gst_vaapi_context_put_surface()
- gst_vaapi_context_find_surface_by_id()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_get_context()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_set_context()
- gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_set_surface()
This is an API change.
Introduce gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_new_from_pool() to allocate a new surface
proxy from the context surface pool. This change also makes sure to retain
the parent surface pool in the proxy.
Besides, it was also totally useless to attach/detach parent context to
VA surface each time we acquire/release it. Since the whole context owns
all associated VA surfaces, we can mark this as such only once and for all.
Move GstVaapiVideoMeta from core libgstvaapi decoding library to the
actual plugin elements. That's only useful there. Also inline reference
counting code from GstVaapiMiniObject.
GStreamer codecparsers-based decoders are the only supported decoders now.
Though, FFmpeg decoders are still available in gstreamer-vaapi 0.3.x series.
Allow rendering flags, as a combination of GstVaapiSurfaceRenderFlags,
to be set to the video buffer. In particular, this is mostly useful for
basic deinterlacing.
gst_vaapi_surface_get_parent_context() was not meant to be exposed globally.
It's just an internal helper function. However, it's still possible to get
the parent context through the "parent-context" property.
Add helper function to bind a foreign buffer into a GstVaapiVideoBuffer.
Any image, surface or surface proxy will be inherited from the source buffer
if it is a GstVaapiVideoBuffer.
