Add initial support for Subset SPS, Prefix NAL and Slice Extension NAL
for non-base-view streams encoding, and the usual SPS, PPS and Slice
NALs for base-view encoding.
The H.264 Stereo High profile encoding mode will be turned on when the
"num-views" parameter is set to 2. The source (raw) YUV frames will be
considered as Left/Right view, alternatively.
Each of the two views has its own frames reordering pool and reference
frames list management system. Inter-view references are not supported
yet, so the views are encoded independently from each other.

Optimize lookups of view ids / view order indices by caching the result
of the calculatiosn right into the GstVaapiParserInfoH264 struct. This
terribly simplifies is_new_access_unit() and find_first_field() functions.
Add safe fallbacks for MVC profiles:
- all MultiView High profile streams with 2 views at most can be decoded
with a Stereo High profile compliant decoder ;
- all Stereo High profile streams with only progressive views can be
decoded with a MultiView High profile compliant decoder ;
- all drivers that support slice-level decoding could normally support
MVC profiles when the DPB holds at most 16 frames.
In order to have a stricter conforming implementation, we need to carefully
detect access unit boundaries. Additional operations could be necessary to
perform at those boundaries.

Always cache the previous NAL unit so that we could check whether
there is a Prefix NAL unit immediately preceding the current slice
or IDR NAL unit. In that case, the NAL unit metadata is copied into
the current NAL unit. Otherwise, some default values are inferred,
tentatively. e.g. view_id shall be set to 0 and inter_view_flag to 1.

Factor out process by which the decoded picture with the lowest POC
is found, and possibly output. Likewise, the storage and marking of
a reference decoded, or non-reference decoded picture, into the DPB
could also be simplified as they mostly share the same operations.
Make init_picture_ref_lists() more consistent with other functions
related to the reference marking process by supplying the current
picture as argument.
Add gst_vaapi_display_get_vendor_string() helper function to query
the underlying VA driver name. The display object owns the resulting
string, so it shall not be deallocated.
That function is thread-safe. It could be used for debugging purposes,
for instance.
Make sure to initialize one GstVaapiDisplay at a time, even in threaded
environments. This makes sure the display cache is also consistent
during the whole display creation process. In the former implementation,
there were risks that display cache got updated in another thread.
Add support for dynamic growth of the VA surfaces pool. For decoding,
this implies the recreation of the underlying VA context, as per the
requirement from VA-API. Besides, only increases are supported, not
shrinks.
It is a requirement from VA-API specification that the VA context got
from vaCreateContext(), for decoding purposes, binds the supplied set
of VA surfaces. This means that if the set of VA surfaces is to be
changed for the current decode session, then the VA context needs to
be recreated with the new set of VA surfaces.
Complement fix committed as e95a42e.
The H.264 AVC standard has to say: if the field is part of a reference
frame or a complementary reference field pair, and the other field of
the same reference frame or complementary reference field pair is also
marked as "used for long-term reference", the reference frame or
complementary reference field pair is also marked as "used for long-term
reference" and assigned LongTermFrameIdx equal to long_term_frame_idx.

Request the correct chroma format for decoding grayscale streams.
i.e. make lookups of the VA chroma format more generic, thus possibly
supporting more formats in the future.
This means that, if a VA driver doesn't support grayscale formats,
it is now going to fail. We cannot safely assume that maybe grayscale
was implemented on top of some YUV 4:2:0 with the chroma components
all set to 0x80.
Fix reference picture marking process with memory_management_control_op

At the time the first VCL NAL unit of a primary coded picture is found,
and if that NAL unit was parsed to be an SPS or PPS, then the entries
in the parser may have been overriden. This means that, when the picture
is to be decoded, slice_hdr->pps could point to an invalid (the next)
PPS entry.
So, one way to solve this problem is to not use the parser PPS and
SPS info but rather maintain our own activation chain in the decoder.

Retain the SEI messages that were parsed from the access unit until we
have completely decoded the current frame. This is done so that we can
peek at that data whenever necessary during decoding. e.g. for exposing
3D stereoscopic information at a later stage.
Fix support for grayscale encoded video clips, and possibly others if
the underlying driver supports the non-YUV 4:2:0 formats. i.e. defer
the decision that a surface with the desired chroma format is not
supported to the actual VA driver implementation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728144
Don't force allocation of VA surfaces in YUV 4:2:0 format. Rather, allow

by default.
Fix possible bug when a per-segment deblocking filter level value
needs to be set in non-absolute mode, i.e. when the loop filter update
value is negative in delta mode.
Also clamp the resulting filter level value to 0..63 range.

Fix generation of source tarballs when certain conditionals are not

The built-in libvpx serves multiple purposes, among which the most

Fix parser and decoder state to sync at the right locations. This is

This is a regression brought in by commit 6fe5496.
Fix gstreamer-vaapi includedir for GStreamer 1.2 setups. i.e. use

libgstvaapi1.0-dev and libgstvaapi1.2-dev packages will now conflict,
as would core GStreamer 1.0 and GStreamer 1.2 dev packages anyway.
Add gst_vaapi_get_config_attribute() helper function that takes a
GstVaapiDisplay and the rest of the arguments with VA types. The aim
is to have thread-safe VA helpers by default.
Make sure to configure the encoder with the set of packed headers we
intend to generate and submit. i.e. make selection of packed headers
to submit more robust.
Cache the first compatible GstVaapiProfile found if the encoder is not
configured yet. Next, factor out the code to check for the supported
rate-control modes by moving out vaGetConfigAttributes() to a separate
function, while also making sure that the attribute type is actually
supported by the encoder.
Also fix the default set of supported rate control modes to not the
"none" variant. It's totally useless to expose it at this point.
Introduce GstVaapiContextUsage so that to explicitly determine the
usage of a VA context. This is useful in view to simplifying the
creation of VA context for VPP too.
Unknown attributes, or attributes that are not supported for the given
profile/entrypoint pair have a return value of VA_ATTRIB_NOT_SUPPORTED.
So, return failure in this case.
Move GstVideoOverlayComposition handling to separate source files.
This helps keeing GstVaapiContext core implementation to the bare
minimal, i.e. simpy helpers to create a VA context and handle pool
of associated VA surfaces.
Improve documentation and debug messages. Clean-up APIs, i.e. strip
them down to the minimal set of interfaces. They are private, so no
need expose getters for instance.
Make sure that libgstvaapi private headers remain internally used to
build libgstvaapi libraries only. All header dependencies were reviewed
and checks for IN_LIBGSTVAAPI definition were added accordingly.
Also rename GST_VAAPI_CORE definition to IN_LIBGSTVAAPI_CORE to keep
consistency.
Set a valid GstVideoCodecFrame.system_frame_number when decoding a
stream in standalone mode. While we are at it, improve the debugging
messages to also include that frame number.
When decoding failed, or that the frame was dropped, the associated

Fix the level calculation involving bitrate limits. Since we are

public and private interfaces. Besides, the map/unmap APIs should not
be exposed as is but appropriate accessors should be provided instead.
* GstVaapiCodedBuffer: VA coded buffer abstraction
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_get_size(): get coded buffer size.
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_copy_into(): copy coded buffer into GstBuffer
* GstVaapiCodedBufferPool: pool of VA coded buffer objects
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_pool_new(): create a pool of coded buffers of
the specified max size, and bound to the supplied encoder
* GstVaapiCodedBufferProxy: pool-allocated VA coded buffer object proxy
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_new_from_pool(): create coded buf from pool
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer(): get underlying coded buffer
- gst_vaapi_coded_buffer_proxy_get_buffer_size(): get coded buffer size
Rationale: more optimized transfer functions might be provided in the
future, thus rendering the map/unmap mechanism obsolete or sub-optimal.

Add gst_vaapi_surface_proxy_copy() function that creates a new surface
proxy with the same information from the parent proxy, except that the
user-defined destroy notify function is not copied over.
The underlying VA surface is pushed back to the video pool only when
the last reference to the parent surface proxy is released.
Optimize gst_vaapiencode_handle_frame() to avoid extra memory allocation,
and in particular the GstVaapiEncObjUserData object. i.e. directly use
the VA surface proxy from the source buffer. This also makes the user
data attached to the GstVideoCodecFrame more consistent between both
the decoder and encoder plug-in elements.
Add gst_buffer_new_allocate() and gst_buffer_fill() implementations.
Fix gst_buffer_new_wrapped_full() implementation to handle the destroy
notify function.
GStreamer 0.10.36 is the latest and ultimate version to be released

now that they are in sync with the 0.10 branch.
Add initial API for video encoding: only basic interfaces and small
encoder objects are implemented so far.

Fix deinterlacing flags to make more sense. The TFF (top-field-first)
flag is meant to specify the organization of reference frames used in
advanced deinterlacing modes. Introduce the more explicit flag TOPFIELD
to specify that the top-field of the supplied input surface is to be
used for deinterlacing. Conversely, if not set, this means that the
bottom field of the supplied input surface will be used instead.
Add a couple of helper functions:
- gst_vaapi_filter_has_operation(): checks whether the VA driver
advertises support for the supplied operation ;
- gst_vaapi_filter_use_operation(): checks whether the supplied
operation was already enabled to its non-default value.
The user-defined destroy notify function is meant to be called only when
the surface proxy was fully released, i.e. once it actually released the
VA surface back to the underlying pool.
Fix GstVaapiPicture, GstVaapiSlice and GstVaapiSurfaceProxy initialization
sequences to have the expected default values set beforehand in case of an

Fix calculation of MCU count for image sizes that are not a multiple

factors like 4:2:2 in non-interleaved mode.
Add support for images with multiple scans per frame. The Huffman table
can be updated before SOS, and thus possibly requiring multiple uploads
of Huffman tables to the VA driver. So, the latter must be able to cope
with multiple VA buffers of type 'huffman-table' and with the correct
sequential order.
Improve robustness when some expected packets where not received yet
or that were not correctly decoded. For example, don't try to decode
a picture if there was no valid frame headers.
Improve debugging and error messages. Rename a few variables to fit the
existing naming conventions. Change some fatal asserts to non-fatal
error codes.
Split the input buffer data into decoder units that represent a JPEG
segment. Handle scan decoder unit specifically so that it can include
both the scan header (SOS) but also any other ECS or RSTi segment.
That way, we parse the input buffer stream only once at the gst-vaapi
level instead of (i) in gst_vaapi_decoder_jpeg_parse() to split the
stream into frames SOI .. EOI and (ii) in decode_buffer() to further
determine segment boundaries and decode them.
In practice, this is a +15 to +25% performance improvement.

As a last resort, if video processing capabilities (VPP) are not available,
or they did not produce anything conclusive enough, then try to fallback to
the original rendering code path whereby the whole VA surface is rendered
as is, no matter of video cropping or deinterlacing requests.
Note: under those conditions, the visual outcome won't be correct but at
least, something gets displayed instead of bailing out.
Try to use VA/VPP processing capabilities to handle video cropping and
additional rendering flags that may not be directly supported by the
underlying hardware when exposing a suitable Wayland buffer for the
supplied VA surface. e.g. deinterlacing, different color primaries than
BT.601, etc.
Update the frame redraw infrastructure with a new FrameState stucture
holds all the necessary information used to display the next pending
surface.
While we are at it, delay the sync operation down to when it is actually
needed. That way, we keep performing additional tasks meanwhile.
Disable video cropping in MPEG-2 codec because it is partially implemented
and actually because nobody implements it that way, and the standard spec
does not specify the display process either anyway.
Most notably, there are two possible use cases for sequence_display_extension()
horizontal_display_size & vertical_display_size: (i) guesstimating the
pixel-aspect-ratio, or (ii) implement some kind of span & scan process
in conjunction with picture_display_extension() information.

Add helper functions to ensure an operation VA buffer is allocated to
the right size; that filter caps get parsed and assigned to the right
operation too; and that float parameters are correctly scaled to fit
the reported range from the VA driver.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
Add new video format mappings to VA image formats:
- YUV: packed YUV (YUY2, UYVY), grayscale (Y800) ;
- RGB: 32-bit RGB without alpha channel (XRGB, XBGR, RGBX, BGRX).
Fix debug message string with image format expressed with GstVideoFormat
instead of the obsolete format that turned out to be a fourcc.
This is a regression from git commit e61c5fc.
In particular, use gst_video_info_from_caps() helper function in VA image
for implementating gst_vaapi_image_get_buffer() [vaapidownload] and
gst_vaapi_image_update_from_buffer() [subpictures] in GStreamer 0.10 builds.
Drop GstVaapiImageFormat helpers since everything was moved to the new
GstVideoFormat based API. Don't bother with backwards compatibility and

Add helper macros to retrieve the VA surface information like size

Break the circular references between GstVaapiContext and its children
GstVaapiSurfaces. Since the VA surfaces held an extra reference to the
context, which holds a reference to its VA surfaces, then none of those
were released.
How does this impact support for subpictures?
The only situation when the parent context needs to disappear is when
it is replaced with another one because of a resolution change in the
video stream for instance, or a normal destroy. In this case, it does
not really matter to apply subpictures to the peer surfaces since they
are either gone, or those that are left in the pipe can probably bear
a reinstantiation of the subpictures for it.
So, parent_context is set to NULL when the parent context is destroyed,
other VA surfaces can still get subpictures attached to them, individually
not as a whole. i.e. subpictures for surface S1 will be created from
active composition buffers and associated to S1, subpictures for S2 will
be created from the next active composition buffers, etc. We don't try
to cache the subpictures in those cases (pending surfaces until EOS
is reached, or pending surfaces until new surfaces matching new VA context
get to be used instead).
Make sure to create the GLX context once the window object has completed
its creation. Since gl_resize() relies on the newly created window size,
then we cannot simply overload the GstVaapiWindowClass::create() hook.
So, we just call into gst_vaapi_window_glx_ensure_context() once the
window object is created in the gst_vaapi_window_glx_new*() functions.
Make it possible to add extra an extra filter to most of display cache
lookup functions so that the GstVaapiDisplay instance can really match
a compatible and existing display by type, instead of relying on extra
string tags (e.g. "X11:" prefix, etc.).
Drop obsolete GST_VAAPI_IS_xxx() helper macros since we are no longer
deriving from GObject and so those were only checking for whether the
argument was NULL or not. This is now irrelevant, and even confusing
to some extent, because we no longer have type checking.
Note: this incurs more type checking (review) but the libgstvaapi is
rather small, so this is manageable.
