This can be used to have compositor display either the background
or a stream on a lower zorder after a live input stream freezes
for a certain amount of time, for example because of network
issues.
This simply implies not trying to "prepare" those buffers,
as mapping an empty buffer to a video frame does not make
much sense.
This also adds a simple test in compositor that performs
some trivial checking of the handling of gap events, the test
was not failing before, but an error was logged, this is
no longer the case.
Fixes#717
If there's no known value in the best caps then the functions to convert
them to strings will return NULL. Having the fields not in the caps is
not a problem, having them with a NULL value however will cause
negotiation failures.
In prepare_frame, it is not enough for the target info
(conversion_info) to not have changed to decide not to update
the converter, as the vpad info may have changed as well.
Fixes#714
The ->skip_buffer implementation in videoaggregator replicates
the behaviour of the aggregate method to determine whether a
buffer can be skipped
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781928).
This fixes a typo that made it so the start time of the buffer
was calculated against the output segment, not the segment of
the relevant sinkpad, which caused buffers to be skipped when
for example a sinkpad had received a segment which base had
been modified by a pad offset somewhere along the way.
This simply makes the calculation of the buffer start time
identical to the calculation in aggregate()
The start_time and end_time in this context have already
been adjusted for the input's rate by converting them to running
time above. What is needed afterwards is to compare these
with the output's start/stop running time, which also takes
into account the rate, so we are comparing equal things.
Multiplying these with the output's rate here is only breaking
this logic. In most cases the input and output rate is the same,
so this multiplication effectively reverses the rate adjustment
that happened while converting to running time, which is why
we see the video playing with the original rate in tests.
Fixes#541
This moves all the conversion related code to a single place, allows
less code-duplication inside compositor and makes the glmixer code less
awkward. It's also the same pattern as used by GstAudioAggregator.
This is only used for caching reasons and should never actually be in
the public API. If this is ever a bottleneck later, caching around a
class private struct could be implemented.
The aggregated_frame is now called prepared_frame and passed to the
prepare_frame and cleanup_frame virtual methods directly. For the
currently queued buffer there is a method on the video aggregator pad
now.
The goal here is to minimize the work needed to bring all images
to a common format. A better criteria than the number of pads
with a given format is the number of pixels with a given format.

Crossfading is a bit more complex than just having two pads with the
right keyframes as the blending is not exactly the same.
The difference is in the way we compute the alpha channel, in the case
of crossfading, we have to compute an additive operation between
the destination and the source (factored by the alpha property of both
the input pad alpha property and the crossfading ratio) basically so
that the crossfade result of 2 opaque frames is also fully opaque at any
time in the crossfading process, avoid bleeding through the layer
blending.
Some rationnal can be found in https://phabricator.freedesktop.org/T7773.

When the pad has received EOS, its buffer may still be mixed
any number of times, when the pad's framerate is inferior
to the output framerate.
This was introduced by my patch in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782962, this patch
also correctly addresses the initial issue.
When caps changes while streaming, the new caps was getting processed
immediately in videoaggregator, but the next buffer in the queue that
corresponds to this new caps was not necessarily being used immediately,
which resulted sometimes in using an old buffer with new caps. Of course
there used to be a separate buffer_vinfo for mapping the buffer with its
own caps, but in compositor the GstVideoConverter was still using wrong
info and resulted in invalid reads and corrupt output.
This approach here is more safe. We delay using the new caps
until we actually select the next buffer in the queue for use.
This way we also eliminate the need for buffer_vinfo, since the
pad->info is always in sync with the format of the selected buffer.
