Fix a bug when reconfiguring the playsink where the subpicture
stream is broken by attempting to connect it through
streamsynchroniser and second time.
Streamsynchronizer excepts to see stream-changed msg for all streams, but to
arrange for this, video and subtitle streams need to be decoupled by means
of queues (due to pad blocks that may occur).
Fixes#626463.
Specifically, as the latter may have one thread pushing EOS to several streams,
that needs to be decoupled into various thread to prevent preroll hanging
problems.
Logic for choice of GST_PAD_LINK_CHECK_* is as follows:
* Where return of pad_link wasn't checked before : NOTHING
* Where linking is between known compatible elements : NOTHING
* All other cases : TEMPLATE_CAPS
Slashes down playsink reconfigure by up to 50% cpu time.
This makes sure that we always keep the display aspect ratio and
add black borders if necessary, which is usually something you want
for viewing a video.
Before gapless playback failed when switching between audio-only,
video-only and audio-video files, when choosing different clocks
and when the different streams had different durations.
This is now handled by a helper element, which keeps track of the
running times of all streams and synchronizes them.
Fixes bug #602437.
We need to clear the pointer to our ts-offset element when we destroy the video
chain elements to make sure nobody derefs it to invalid memory afterwards.
Otherwise we would end up with a bogus ->audiochain->ts_offset field
which would cause segfaults/assertions when trying to modify the
'ts-offset' property in update_av_offset().
Was easy to trigger when using a list of audio+video files mixed with
video-only files in totem.
Move the convert_frame function to playsink and make it part of the API. This is
in preparation to add the convert_frame signal to playsink.
See #620279
Change playbin2 to not error out if there are subtitles and audio
but no video. If visualizations are enabled the subtitles are rendered on top
of the visualization stream, otherwise the subtitles are not linked at all and
only the audio is played (and a warning message is posted).
If there are only subtitles but neither audio nor video an error message is
still posted.
Fixes bug #610866.
For this add subtitle encoding properties to playsink and subtitleoverlay
and update the values in the containing elements.
Also update the font description in textoverlay or the used renderer
element if it is changed during playback.
Fixes bug #610310.
This makes sure that we don't destroy the last reference before the
element gets back to NULL state. Fixes assertion failures if a playbin2
instance is reused but different sinks are automatically chosen because
of different caps.
We don't want to end up setting values on elements where the property is of
a different type than we expect. Can't transform the value either, since we
can't really make assumptions about the scale and transform function.
Fixes crashes when using playbin2 with apexsink (#606949).
In this case the video still goes through the text chain and
subtitles are still going in there, in case subtitles are
enabled again. This makes sure that re-enabling subtitles
happens instantly.
Fixes hanging video when disabling subtitles, caused by an
unliked video pad.
