Some gcc versions warn about bytewriter writing to memory accessed
via a const guint8 pointer, despite our explicit cast to guint8 *.
Work around that by using an intermediary variable.
Fixes#598526.
When clamping the base time, correctly use 'now', instead of
'-now' - the intent is to prevent 'now-base' ever being
negative, which would cause a position report outside the segment.
Fixes: #602419
Element base_time is a signed quantity, which leads to basesink returning
a position of 0 when dealing with a negative base time - which are quite
legal when clocks (such as the audio clock) are close to 0.
This doesn't manifest in normal pipelines, of course - but can happen
(at least) when manually setting the base time on a pipeline.
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
This avoids having to do the sorting everytime we use typefind
The behaviour of gst_type_find_factory_get_list has subtlely changed
in the sense that the order was previously undefined, whereas now
it returns them sorted by rank and then by name.
The list against which we run the comparefunc will only contain
GstPluginFeature, therefore remove the 6 expensive type checks we do
for every single comparision.
When we quickly switch from PLAYING to PAUSED and back to PLAYING it's possible
in some cases that the task refuses to start, This is because when we go to
PAUSED, we unschedule the clock timeout, which could return UNSCHEDULED when
we're back to PLAYING, causing the task to PAUSE again with a wrong-state.
This patch checks if we are running when we return with an UNSCHEDULED return
value and if we are, try to create a new buffer.
Fixes#597550
The code was previously:
* checking if ret was != OK
* .. but if it was FLOW_STEP, swith it to OK
* .. and then not using ret
Instead we just make it more compact by checking if it's OK or STEP.
In most places in core and baseclasses we just need the caps to do caps-
intersections. In that case ref'ed caps are enough (no need to copy).
This patch also switches the code to use the new functions.
API: gst_pad_get_caps_refed(), gst_pad_peer_get_caps_refed()
The normal functions are always useful to have for bindings, especially
runtime-created bindings like Seed or new GObject-Introspection based
Python bindings.
Check when we need to touch the metadata of the output buffer after selecting
the output buffer so that we have everything in one place.
Also take flags and timestamp modifications into account.
When we have the same input as output caps, reuse the input caps object. After
the caps refcounting has been sorted out now, we can finally enable this
optimisation.
Without this, we risked:
* Checking the flushing state on an unexisting list
* Not setting the flushing state on pads that had just been added
Partially fixes#590056
Return FALSE in basesrc's default query handler when we get a SEEKING query for
a format that's not the one the source operates in. Previously (ie. before, in
the git version) we would return TRUE in that case and seekable=FALSE, which
is more correct, but causes backwards compatibility problems. (Before that
we would change the format of the query when answering, which was completely
broken since callers don't expect that or check for it). Since the SEEKING
query is a fairly recent addition, not all demuxers, parsers and decoders
implement it yet, in which case any SEEKING query by an application will
just be passed upstream where it will then be handled by basesrc. Now, if
e.g. totem does a SEEKING query for TIME format and we have a demuxer that
doesn't implement the query, basesrc would answer it with seekable=FALSE in
most cases, and totem can only take that as authoritative answer, not knowing
that the demuxer doesn't implement the SEEKING query. To avoid this, we make
basesrc return FALSE to SEEKING queries in unhandled formats. That way
applications like totem can fall back on assuming seekability depending on
whether a duration is available, or somesuch. Downstream elements doing
such queries are likely to equate an unhandled query with a non-seekable
response as well, so this should be an acceptable fix for the time being.
See #584838, #588944, #589423 and #589424.
Clarify byte reader docs a bit: offset is relative to the current
position of the reader, not to the start of the data. Also, the
examples in both the adapter docs and the byte reader docs have
the mask and pattern arguments swapped (see #587561). Spotted
by Carl-Anton Ingmarsson.
Add a pattern scan function similar to the one recently added to
GstAdapter, and a unit test (based on the adapter one).
Fixes#585592.
API: add gst_byte_reader_masked_scan_uint32()
Update design doc with step-start docs.
Add eos field to step done message
when stepping in reverse, update the segment time field.
Flush out the current step when we are flushing.
When we start stepping, store the start/stop values of the segment before we
install new start/stop values for clipping in non-flushing steps.
for non-flushing steps, update the element start time. For flushing steps, it
does not change because running_time does not advance
Make sure we always perform the stop_stepping operations even when we drop
frames.
Note in the docs that a flushing step in PLAYING brings the pipeline to the lost
state and skips the data before prerolling again.
Implement the flushing step correctly by invalidating the current step
operation, which would activate the new step operation.
When a subclass is blocking in _wait_preroll() in the _render method, make sure
we can unlock the subclass and detect this return value from the render method.
