image-encodebin can't use videorate as it always store one buffer
to be able to do its timestamps/duration math. As image captures
only push one buffer at a time, this videorate behavior breaks
camerabin usage.
Do not use jpeg as a container format for image captures, use
the plain video encoding format. It was used as a container in
0.10 to force the addition of tags to the image.
Audio src was pushing newsegments starting from 0, even when its buffers
were not starting with 0 as their timestamps. Add a buffer probe that
checks the ts of the first buffer and uses that to push a newsegment,
just like we do for video on wrappercamerabinsrc.
Camerabin2 parses warning messages with gst_message_parse_warning(message,
&err, &debug) but doesn't free given GError and debug strings.
Documentation shows that the ownership of those fields is transferred
to caller (they are marked "[transfer full]" in the API docs).
Reduce start-capture workload by moving the elements' state reseting to the
finishing steps of the capture. This reduces the time start-capture takes to
actually start a capture and return to its caller, improving user experience.
As the elements' state reset is now triggered from the message handling
function, it needs to spawn a new thread, changing state from the pad's
task would cause a deadlock.
Adds a new variable to keep track of the state of the video
recording in camerabin2. This allows start-capture to reject
new video recording requests when one is already ongoing. This
fixes one of check tests.
Rename the image taglists' mutex into image capture mutex and
use it also for the image capture list to prevent concurrent
access from different threads (application and capture threads).
Do not store preview location is post-previews is false, this would
mess up preview naming in case application switches between enabling
and disabling previews
Tags are currently sent from start-capture, which is run in the
application thread. For images we can delay the tags pushing to the
buffer probe and push the tags with the location event and reduce
start-capture time.
Some messages might be interesting to applications, so we can only
decrement the processing counter and send the idle notification
when those messages are posted on the pipline's bus
Generating and posting preview image always comes with a performance
penalty so set default value as false. The preview-caps property that
defines the preview image format is also NULL by default, so instead
of generating preview image of unspecified format by default explicit
action from application should be required for enabling preview image
posting feature.
Application also has to add custom code to be able
to handle preview messages on its message handling function anyway.
Makes camerabin2 only signal that it is idle after all previews have
been generated, images are captured and saved, and videos have
been finished properly.
Only access the preview location if it exists, to avoid acessing
a NULL variable. If the preview location list doesn't exist, it is
likely because the source has posted a preview message after camerabin2
has been put to READY.
The preview filename list is acessed whenever a new capture is started, when
camera-source posts a new preview message or on state changes. All of those can
occur simultaneously, so add a mutex to prevent concurrent access.
Makes camerabin2 intercept preview-image messages and add
the filename corresponding to the message structure in the
'location' field.
Makes easier for applications to track preview images
Setting the audio source to NULL just after pushing the EOS event
on it could potentially cause loss of said EOS event. Instead, we
can set the audio source to NULL when ready-for-capture is
signalled and the boolean value is true as this indicates we are
not currently capturing video.
