We try to do our best to have the video frames scaled the best way
to fill most space on the final frames, keeping aspect ratio. The user
can later on rescale or move the sources as usual but it makes the
default behaviour a better and more natural especially now that we
set default restriction caps to the video tracks.
And fix the unit test to take that change into account
This way the user can easily know how the clip would look like
if no scaling was applied to the clip, this is useful to be able
to properly position the clips with the framepositionner element.
We used to always call the `->set_child_property` virtual method
of the object that `ges_timeline_element_set_child_property` was called
from, but that means that, in the case of referencing GESContainer
children properties from its children, the children wouldn't know
what child property have been set, and the children override wouldn't
be takent into account, in turns, it means that the behaviour could be
different in the setter depending on parent the method was called,
which is totally unexpected.
We now make sure that the vmethod from the element that introduced the
child property is called whatever parent method is called, making the
behaviour more uniform.
Fix the python override to make sure that new behaviour is respected.
By default, video track output full HD@30fps, this makes the behaviour
of clip position much more understandable and guarantess that we
always have a framerate.
The user can modify the values whenever he wants
Basically we were advertising that the source size would be the
size of the track if it hadn't been defined by end user, but since
we started to let scaling happen in the compositor, this is not true
as the source size is now the natural size of the underlying video
stream.
Remove the unit test and reimplemented using a validate scenario which
make the test much simpler to read :=)
nleobject.duration defaults to 0, but this is pretty unintuitive for
end user in the case nlesource is use standalone, just consider
duration=0 equivalent to duration=GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE as it makes
the element much simpler to use, we could actually forbid 0 as a value
in the future.
Also take into account potential CLOCK_TIME_NONE
Basically we know that if we are using mixing, compositor will be
able to do video conversion and scaling for us, so avoid adding those
usless elements.
This optimizes a lot caps negotiation for deeply nested timelines.
Basically the tags we send before STREAM_START are now ignored, meaning
that we could not detect nested timelines anymore, this commits makes
sure that we send our tag event after getting pushing STREAM_START.
When a composition is nested into anotherone, we *know* that the
toplevel composition is going to send a stack initializing seek,
we can thus avoid sending it on the subcomposition itself when
prerolling. This avoid seeking roundtrips and we now have one and
only one seek travelling in the overall pipeline (after it has
prerolled).
The 'start' of nleobject is in the 'composition' scale, inpoint is in
the media scale, when outside a composition, a nleobject->start value
doesn't mean anything.
Instead of seeking each nleobject separately to setup new stack, wait
for the whole stack to preroll and then seek that newly setup stack,
leading to the same code path and seek 'tweaking' as when processing
a seek on the composition (without stack changes).
This is mandatory to properly handle filter that tweak segments to handle
time remapping for example.
In 99c45d42cf we allowed setting
track-types but in the end we could do it generically using the
following synthax in the scenario 'properties' metadata:
`ges-options={--track-types=video,--disable-mixing}`
In general, brought the behaviour of the `start`, `duration` and
`inpoint` setters in line with each other. In particular:
1. fixed return value the GESSourceClip `duration` setter
2. changed the GESClip `start` setter
3. fixed the inpoint callback for GESContainer
4. changed the type of `res` in GESTimelineElement to be gint to
emphasise that the GES library is using the hack that a return of -1
from klass->set_duration means no notify signal should be sent out.
Also added a new test for clips to ensure that the setters work for
clips within and outside of timelines, and that the `start`, `inpoint`
and `duration` of a clip will match its children.
By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
This can be made to work in certain circumstances when
cross-compiling, so default to not building g-i stuff
when cross-compiling, but allow it if introspection was
enabled explicitly via -Dintrospection=enabled.
