Original commit message from CVS:
tagging stuff and build fixes. In detail:
- make gdk-pixbuf loader work when distchecking
- fix invalid syntax in ffmpeg Makefile. wildcards for EXTRA_DIST are not allowed. This broke builds where distdir != srcdir
- fix ffmpeg cvs grabbing when srcdir != distdir
- new id3tag plugin for id3 tag reading/writing (uses mad's libid3tag)
- mad and libid3tag require mad/libid3tag v0.15. Fixed configure to require that
- added ogg demuxer in ext/ogg. The demuxer does not handle events yet. Especially getting seeking right will require some effort or code copying from libvorbis.
- added raw vorbis detection to typefinding. oggdemux requires a typefind function to detect its contents.
- tags plugin in gst/tags. Provides API in <gst/tags/gsttagediting.h>. API includes tag matching GStreamer <=> ID3 and GStreamer <=> vorbis and writing/reading vorbiscomments or ID3v1 tags. Also included is a simple vorbiscomment reader/writer. Writing will not really work though until someone writes oggmux.
- various build fixes. Mostly missing (DIST)CLEANFILES.
- vorbisenc handles tag writing.
Now it's YOUR turn to fix and write more plugins that handle writing/reading of tags. :)
Original commit message from CVS:
set default errorlevel to NONE. Make configure change it to ERROR (the current value) when running cvs builds. This should make releases not output any debugging information at all
Original commit message from CVS:
add initial version of gdkpixbuf loader for gtk that is capable of loading AVI and mpeg videos as GdkPixbufAnimation. I'm not sure if such a thing would be useful or too much trouble, so I'll throw it at enough testers to figure it out ;) We might want to disable it by defualt though in the future. (Currently there is not even a configure switch implemented to disable it.)
This includes a fix to not use GError in gstgdkpixbuf's typefind function and to only return GST_TYPE_FIND_MINIMUM when doing typefinding via gdk as this breaks quite a bit with the GStreamer loader installed.
Original commit message from CVS:
first bunch of conversions to new plugin_init. Includes libs/gst, gst/id3, sys/oss, ext/gnomevfs, gst/typefind and ext/mad.
You guessed it, everything Rhythmbox needs ;)
fixed BMP typefind and made gnomevfs one plugin instead of two while doing this
Original commit message from CVS:
merge TYPEFIND branch. Major changes:
- totally reworked type(find) system
- all typefind functions are in gst/typefind now
- more typefind functions then before
- some plugins might fail to compile now because I don't have them installed and they
a) require bytestream or
b) haven't had their typefind fixed.
Please fix those plugins and put the typefind functions into gst/typefind if they don't have dependencies
Original commit message from CVS:
Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins:
* a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio
work is underway here, but unfinished.
* A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to
the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for
GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox.
* Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty
basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now.
Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener'
that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other
windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's
needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements.
Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2
elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated!
Original commit message from CVS:
New typefind system:
* bytestream is now part of the core
* all plugins have been modified to use this new typefind system
* asf typefinding added
* mpeg video stream typefiding removed because it's broken
* duplicate typefind entries removed
* extra id3 typefinding added, because we've seen 4 types of files
(riff/wav, flac, vorbis, mp3) with id3 headers and each of these needs
to work. Instead, I've added an id3 element and let it redo typefiding
after the id3 header. this needs a hack because spider only typefinds
once. We can remove this hack once spider supports multiple typefinds.
* with all this, mp3 typefinding is semi-rewritten
* id3 typefinding in flac/vorbis is removed, it's no longer needed
* fixed spider and gst-typefind to use this, too.
* Other general cleanups
Original commit message from CVS:
Add new element: frame dropper. This element inserts/drops frames to go from a certain input framerate to a certain output framerate. It's extremely simple and that's why it's so cute.
Original commit message from CVS:
Now set XVIDEO_LIBS only if the Xv library is found. Fixed matroska check
so that it doesn't stop the configure if it fails.
Original commit message from CVS:
A big rewrite of the spec file and some ffmpeg disting fixes. The ffmpeg plugin still doesn't build for me, but I think I am getting close :)
Original commit message from CVS:
New mimetypes gone into effect today - this commit changes all old mimetypes over to the new mimetypes spec as described in the previous commit's document. Note: some plugins will break, some pipelines will break, expect HEAD to be broken or at least not 100% working for a few days, but don't forget to report bugs
Original commit message from CVS:
compatibility fix for new GST_DEBUG stuff.
Includes fixes for missing includes for config.h and unistd.h
I only ensured for plugins I can build that they work, so if some of them are still broken, you gotta fix them yourselves unfortunately.
Original commit message from CVS:
Plugins cleanup:
* stereo2mono, mono2stereo, int2float, float2int: replaced by audioconvert.
* stereosplit replaced by oneton.
* vumeter replaced by level (and was broken anyway).
* avifile replaced by ffmpeg.
* mjpegtools duplicates functionality of jpeg. jpeg now works with jpeg-mmx,
too, which makes mjpegtools unneeded.
* allow for jpegmmx instead of jpeg.
* openquicktime replaced by qtdemux and ffmpeg. Broken anyway.
* XMMS is broken and will never be fixed.
* vga is broken and will not be fixed anywhere soon.
* videosink has never worked. If it works, add it back to replace xvideosink.
Original commit message from CVS:
* caps refcounting fixes for float2int
* fixed wrt setting of caps on int pad with dynamic number of sink pads in float2int
* added libsndfile plugin (currently only the src is implemented) - currently only float output, noninterleaved is implemented
Original commit message from CVS:
Corrected the configure.ac so it actually works. Updated some c files
so that they build on Solaris. This mostly involved supporting ISO
style variable-argument macros.
Original commit message from CVS:
Updated autogen.sh/configure.ac and various Makefiles to make the
configure script set up all gcc specific compiler arguments, rather
than hardcoding them in the Makefile.am files
Original commit message from CVS:
Adds divx/xvid encoders.
* divx encoder is based on divx4linux (commercial, closed-source)
* xvid encoder is based on xvidcore (http://www.xvid.org/, GPL - Christian? ;) )
Both use a GstCaps that doesn't conform with what we currently use, I might fix that later on or so. For now, it doesn't matter, it's just a test. We're also missing corresponding decoders (ffmpeg can decoded this too, but that's not the point), these might come later too.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added initial version of audioconvert, a generic converter of integer audio/raw formats.
It currently supports conversion of
- channels (mono/stereo only, until someone tells me how to mix other channels)
- endianness (little/bi endian)
- signedness
- width (8, 1, 24 and 32 bits)
- depth (1 - width bits)
missing:
- enough testing (I intend to write a testsuite for this, but that's pending)
- samplerate conversion
- other goodies like format conversion etc
Expect bugs when using it.
problems this should solve:
- encoding wav files on big endian machines
- goom working with mono audio files in gst-player
- Iain's soundcard (that one is a problem in itself)
- complaints about missing conversion
- too many age old, nearly unmaintained plugins (stereo2mono etc.)
Have fun.
Original commit message from CVS:
Port some changes from 0.6.0/0.6.1 back to HEAD (.pc files moved to pkg-config/, .m4 file moved from plugins to core)
Original commit message from CVS:
add FreeBSD patches from Andrew Turner and add missing ivorbis m4 to cvs, also disable ivorbis plugin as the test mistakes ordinary vorbis for tremor
Original commit message from CVS:
another batch of connect->link fixes
please let me know about issues
and please refrain of making them yourself, so that I don't spend double
the time resolving conflicts
Original commit message from CVS:
drop mpeg2dec 0.2.1 support in favor of 0.3.0.
keeping old code around in cvs for a while just in case someone needs it.
Original commit message from CVS:
add last part of shout2 plugin patch, but it do not get built even with --enable -experimental, will try and investigate
Original commit message from CVS:
Added *BSD (and Darwin) ioctl cdaudio playing. Couple bugfixes. 'end-track','current-track' and 'cddb-discid' properties and 'track-change' signal for the element.
