According to S377-1-2009c 9.2 the local tags must not be resolved from the
primer pack, which as a result means that there can't be any other tags than
statically assigned ones.
This is to support byte-stream decoder that does not remember the

The order in which program switch must happen is:
1) drain all data on old pads (but don't push EOS)
2) add new pads (but don't push any data on them)
3) Push EOS and remove old pads
4) Start pushing data on new pads
There was one caveat in this implementation, which is that when
we activate a sparse pad (step 2) we would push a GAP event. The problem
is that, while being an event, it is actually *data*.
We therefore need to make sure pushing those GAP event is done at the step
we start pushing data.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750402
Before we add any streams, make sure we drain all streams. This ensures
there's consistency that only "new" data will be pushed on buffers once
the new pads are added
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750402
When changing programs, the order of events needs to be the following:
* add pads from new program
* send EOS on old pads
* remove old pads
* emit 'no-more-pads'
Previously tsdemux was not doing that, and was first deactivating and
removing old pads before adding new ones.
We fix this by allowing subclasses of mpegtsbase to be able to handle
themselves the deactivation of programs. In this case tsdemux will
properly deactivate it once it has activated the new program.

The videoframe-audiolevel element acts like a synchronized audio/video "level"

It is up to the element handling the seek to send flush events
downstream, otherwise we end up with a situation where upstream
would get unexpected GST_FLOW_FLUSHING
The Onvif Streaming Specification specifies that the NTP timestamps
in the Onvif extension header indicaes the absolute UTC time associated
with the access unit. But by using running time we can not achieve that,
since a frame's running time depends on the played interval, whether a
non-flushing is done, etc. Instead we have to use the stream time.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757688
It is now possible to update the currently used ntp-offset with a
custom serialized downstream event. The element will read the ntp-offset
property when doing the state transition from READY to PAUSED and
use that offset until it receives a "GstNtpOffset" event, which also
has a "ntp-offset" attribute in that it's structure. In case the
property is not set and no event has been received, the element will
guess the npt-offset with help of the clock. If no clock can be
retrieved, the element will error out and stop the data flow.
The same event is also used for updating the D/E-bits in the RTP
extension header. The discont flag in a buffer can be set whenver a
live/network source looses a frame, but that is not the type of
discontinuity that the onvif extension header should reflect. The
header is mainly used for playback of a track concept, in which
gaps can be present, and it's those kind of gaps that should be
highlighted with the D- and E-bits.

The buffer timestamps in the collect function will already be
running time, don't try to convert them again to running time,
this would yield CLOCK_TIME_NONE now that the segment is shifted
to account for negative dts.
This fixes x264enc ! mpegtsmux ! hlssink, which was broken
because mpegtsmux would send a downstream key unit event with
running time NONE and then hlssink would immediately send
another one upstream and it would just be a flood of force
keyframe events in both directions after the first one. This
would then break hlssink because it uses multifilesink in
next-file=key-unit-event mode, and starting a new file after
every few kB does not work well for HLS.

Instead of only supporting writing SPU data directly to YUV frames,
render the SPU data to an intermediate AYUV overlay buffer. The overlay
data is then attached to the video frame if downstream supports overlay
composition, otherwise the AYUV overlay is blended to the video frame.
For the PGS format, the overlay buffer size is set to the size of the
Composition Window, and its position in the overlay composition is set
to the window position. The objects to render are now cropped when the
cropping flag is set.
For the Vobsub format, the overlay buffer size is set to the size of the
Display Area.
Once rendered, the overlay composition rectangle is now moved and scaled
to fit the video output size, to avoid clipping.

We might've queued up a GAP buffer that is only partially inside the current

The tsdemux latency should always be added to the minimum
latency (which is always a valid clock time value). The
"cleanup" in commit a1f709c2 made it so that it would not

h264parse and gstrtph264depay do the same, let's keep the behaviour

rtph264depay does the same and this fixes decoding of some streams with 32
SPS (or 256 PPS). It is allowed to have SPS ID 0 to 31 (or PPS ID 0 to 255),
but the field in the codec_data for the number of SPS or PPS is only 5
(or 8) bit. As such, 32 SPS (or 256 PPS) are interpreted as 0 everywhere.
This looks like a mistake in the part of the spect about the codec_data.
This causes an assertion and would lead to getting a NULL instead
of a buffer. Without proper checking this would easily lead to a

Some video bitstreams report a too restrictive set of profiles. If a video

In the case where you have a source giving the GstAggregator smaller
buffers than it uses, when it reaches a timeout, it will consume the
first buffer, then try to read another buffer for the pad. If the
previous element is not fast enough, it may get the next buffer even
though it may be queued just before. To prevent that race, the easiest
solution is to move the queue inside the GstAggregatorPad itself. It
also means that there is no need for strange code cause by increasing
the min latency without increasing the max latency proportionally.
This also means queuing the synchronized events and possibly acting
on them on the src task.

It contains videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter and implements digital
zooming.
At this moment, it is a private element of the camerabin plugin.
This will remove some code used in wrappercamerabinsrc to make
code clearer and digitalzoom can potentially be used by other
applications in the future, it has nothing camerabin specific.
wrappercamerabinsrc has a videocrop element to be used for
zooming and for cropping when input caps is different when used
with the GstPhotography interface. The zooming part needs
the following elements:
capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
The capsfilters should always have the same caps to ensure the
zooming is done and preserves dimensions, unless when it is needed
to do more cropping due to input dimensions those caps
need to be modified accordingly to preserve the output dimensions.
This, however, makes it hard to get caps negotiation to work properly
as we need to have different caps in the capsfilters to account for
the extra cropping needed. It could be simple for fixed caps but it
gets tricky with unfixed ones.
To solve this, this patch splits the zooming and dimension reduction
cropping into 2 separate videocrop elements. The first one does
the dimension cropping, which is only needed when the GstPhotography
API is used and the source provides a caps that is different than
what is requested, while the second is dedicated to zoom crop only.
The first part of the pipeline goes from:
src ! videoconvert ! capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
to
src ! videocrop ! videoconvert ! capsfilter ! videocrop ! videoscale ! capsfilter
It might add an extra overhead in the image capture as the image might need
to be cropped twice but this can be solved by enabling videocrop to use
crop metas so only the later one does the real cropping.
It also makes the code a bit simpler.
