Add gst_vaapi_video_format_from_string() helper function to convert from
a video format string representation to a suitable GstVideoFormat. This
is just an alias to gst_video_format_from_string() for GStreamer 1.0.x
builds, and a proper iteration over all GstVideoFormat string representations
otherwise for earlier GStreamer 0.10.x builds.
Add helper functions to describe GstVaapiPoint and GstVaapiRectangle
structures as a standard GType. This could be useful to have them
described as a GValue later on.
Don't expose GstVaapiContext APIs and make them totally private to
libgstvaapi core library. That API would also tend to disappear in
a future revision. Likewise, don't expose GstVaapiDisplayCache API
but keep symbols visible so that the various render backends could
share a common display cache implementation in libgstvaapi.
Try to clean-up the documentation from any stale entry too.
Add image_generate_full() function to create interleaved color rectangles.
If flags is zero, the whole frame is generated with a unique pattern. If
flags is non-zero, then each field is handled individually.
On some platforms, vaPutImage() would fail even if it does not involve
color format conversion or scaling, whereas copying raw pixels through
vaDeriveImage() could work instead.
Don't expose functions that reference a GstVaapiImageRaw, those are
meant to be internal only for implementing subpictures sync. Also add
a few private definitions to avoid functions calls for retrieving
image size and format information.
Install a new video converter that supports X11 pixmap targets for X11
backends only, or make the GLX converter creation function chain up to
the X11 converter whenever requested.
Add --pixmap option to test-decode so that to allow copies of VA
surface to an intermediate pixmap and rendering from that pixmap.
Only X11 backends are supported for now.
Use hardware accelerated XRenderComposite() function, from the RENDER
extension, to blit a pixmap to screen. Besides, this can also support
cropping and scaling.
Implement the new render-to-pixmap API. The only supported pixmap format
that will work is xRGB, with native byte ordering. Others might work but
they were not tested.
Add API to transfer VA urfaces to native pixmaps. Also add an API to
render a native pixmap, for completeness. In general, rendering to
pixmap would only be useful to certain VA drivers and use cases on
X11 display servers. e.g. GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap (TFP) handled
in an upper layer.
After the code got moved to create the gst_vaapi_create_display() helper,
this comparison was not updated to dereference the newly-created
pointer, so the code was comparing the pointer itself to the type, and
therefore failing to retrieve the VA display.
This fixes the following error (and gets gst-vaapi decoding again):
ERROR vaapidecode gstvaapidecode.c:807:gst_vaapidecode_ensure_allowed_caps: failed to retrieve VA display

Mark dummy pictures as output already so that we don't try to submit
them to the upper layer since this is purely internal / temporary
picture for helping the decoder.
Once the picture was output, it is no longer necessary to keep an extra
reference to the underlying GstVideoCodecFrame. So, we can release it
earlier, and maybe subsequently release the associate surface proxy
earlier.
Fix new internal video format API, based on GstVideoFormat, to not
clobber with system symbols. So replace the gst_video_format_* prefix
with gst_vaapi_video_format_ prefix, even if the format type remains
GstVideoFormat.
Bump the library major version due to API/ABI changes that occurred in
the imaging API. In particular, GstVaapiImageFormat type was replaced
with the standard GstVideoFormat type. All dependent APIs were updated
to match this change.
Fix memory leak when processing interlaced pictures and that occurs
because the first field, represented as a GstVideoCodecFrame, never
gets released. i.e. when the picture is completed, this is generally
the case when the second field is successfully decoded, we need to
propagate the GstVideoCodecFrame of the first field to the original
GstVideoDecoder so that it could reclaim memory.
Otherwise, we keep accumulating the first fields into GstVideoDecoder
private frames list until the end-of-stream is reached. The frames
are eventually released there, but too late, i.e. too much memory
may have been consumed.

Simplify gst_vaapi_create_display() helper as gst_vaapi_display_XXX_new()
performs the necessary validation checks for the underlying VA display
prior to returning to the caller. So, if an error occurred, then NULL is
really returned in that case.
If the video buffer pool config doesn't have new caps, then it's not
necessary to reinstantiate the allocator. That could be a costly
operation as we could do some extra heavy checking in there.
Fix reference counting issue whereby gst_memory_init() does not hold
an extra reference to the GstAllocator. So, there could be situations
where the last instance of GstVaapiVideoAllocator gets released before
a dangling GstVaapiVideoMemory object, thus possibly leading to a crash.
Always perform conversion of sources buffers to NV12 since this is
the way we tested for this capability in ensure_allowed_caps(). This
also saves memory bandwidth for further rendering. However, this may
not preserve quality since the YUV buffers are down-sampled to 4:2:0.
The queue of free objects to used was deallocated with g_queue_free_full().
However, this convenience function shall only be used if the original queue
was allocated with g_queue_new(). This caused memory corruption, eventually
leading to a crash.
The correct solution is to pair the g_queue_init() with the corresponding
g_queue_clear(), while iterating over all free objects to deallocate them.
This fixes direct linking of vaapidownload element to xvimagesink with
VA drivers supporting vaGetImage() from the native VA surface format to
a different VA image format. i.e. color conversion during download.

The image is now expressed as a standard GstVideoFormat, which is not
a FOURCC but rather a regular enum value.
This is a regression introduced in commit 09397fa.
Fix gst_vaapi_uploader_get_buffer() to not assign caps since they
were already negotiated beforehand, and they are not used from the
buffer in upstream elements.
Clean-up gst_vaapi_uploader_ensure_caps() to use the new image caps
represented as a GstVideoInfo.
Adapt GstVaapiVideoMemory allocator to support creation of VA surfaces
with an explicit pixel format. This allows for direct rendering to
VA surface memory from a software decoder.
Fix creation of surface pool objects to honour explicit pixel format
specification. If this operation is not supported, then fallback to
the older interface with chroma format.
If a VA surface was allocated with the chroma-format interface, try to
determine the underlying pixel format on gst_vaapi_surface_get_format(),
or return GST_VIDEO_FORMAT_ENCODED if this is not a supported operation.
Make it possible to create VA surfaces with a specific pixel format.
This is a new capability brought in by VA-API >= 0.34.0. If that
capability is not built-in (e.g. using VA-API < 0.34.0), then
gst_vaapi_surface_new_with_format() will return NULL.
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.
Add new chroma formats available with VA-API >= 0.34.0. In particular,
this includes "RGB" chroma formats, and more YUV subsampled formats.
Also add a new from_GstVaapiChromaType() helper function to convert
libgstvaapi chroma type to VA chroma format.
Make gst_vaapi_image_pool_new() succeed, and thus returning a valid
image pool object, only if the underlying VA display does support the
requested VA image format.
Get rid of GstCaps to create surface/image pool, and use GstVideoInfo
structures instead. Those are smaller, and allows for streamlining
libgstvaapi more.
