Release notes for GStreamer Base Plug-ins 0.10.25 "Standard disclaimers apply" The GStreamer team is proud to announce a new release in the 0.10.x stable series of the GStreamer Base Plug-ins. The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users. It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series. It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series. This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other plugins, and helper libraries. This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for their development. This module contains elements for, among others: device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia containers: ogg codecs: vorbis, theora text: textoverlay, subparse sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, gnomevfssrc network: tcp typefind audio processing: audioconvert, adder, audiorate, audioscale, volume visualisation: libvisual video processing: ffmpegcolorspace aggregate elements: decodebin, playbin Other modules containing plug-ins are: gst-plugins-good contains a set of well-supported plug-ins under our preferred license gst-plugins-ugly contains a set of well-supported plug-ins, but might pose problems for distributors gst-plugins-bad contains a set of less supported plug-ins that haven't passed the rigorous quality testing we expect Features of this release * Add per-stream volume controls * Theora 1.0 and Y444 and Y42B format support * Improve audio capture timing * GObject introspection support * Improve audio output startup * RTSP improvements * Use pango-cairo instead of pangoft2 * Allow cdda://(device#)?track URI scheme in cddabasesrc * Support interlaced content in videoscale and ffmpegcolorspacee * Many other bug fixes and improvements Bugs fixed in this release * 595401 : gobject assertion and null access to volume instance in playbin * 563828 : [decodebin2] Complains about loops in the graph when demuxer output requires another demuxer * 591677 : Easy codec installation is not working * 588523 : smarter sink selection in playbin2 * 590146 : adder regressions * 321532 : [cddabasesrc] Support device setting in cdda:// URI * 340887 : add pangocairo textoverlay plugin. * 397419 : [oggdemux] ogm video with subtitles stuck on first frame * 556537 : [PATCH] typefind: more flexible MPEG4 start code recognition * 559049 : gstcheck.c:76:F:general:test_state_changes_* failure: GST_IS_CLOCK(clock) assertion fails * 567660 : [API] need a stream volume interface for sinks that do volume control * 567928 : Make videorate work with a live source * 571610 : [playbin] Scale of volume property is not documented * 583255 : [playbin2] deadlock when disabling visualisations * 586180 : RTSP improvements * 588717 : [oggmux] gst_caps_unref() warning if not linked downstream * 588761 : [videoscale] Needs special support for interlaced content * 588915 : audioresample's output offset counter's initialization could maybe be improved * 589095 : [appsrc] clarify documentation on caps and linkage * 589574 : [typefind] incorrect sdp file detection * 590243 : [videoscale] Claims to support MAX width/height * 590425 : Slaved alsasrc clock with slave-method=re-timestamp not usable for RTP audio * 590856 : [decodebin2] triggers assertion failure on NULL caps * 591207 : totem does display the following subtitle srt file. * 591357 : gst-plugins-base git won't build due to warning in gstrtspconnection.c * 591577 : [playbin2] Incorrect error message string * 591664 : [playbin2] after seeking, srt subtitles don't resync correctly * 591934 : timestamp drift in audioresample * 592544 : Remove regex.h check * 592657 : [appsink] Blocks after entering on pause state * 592864 : deadlocks from recent inputselector/streamselector change * 592884 : [playbin2] g_object_get increases refcount by 2 and therefore leaves memleak * 593035 : gdp doesn't preserve fields of the buffers put into the caps' streamheader * 593284 : basertppayloader takes time in instance init * 594020 : Totem don't play videos from ssh remote host * 594094 : Playback Error playing Midi file * 594136 : [alsasink] Regression from 0.10.23 -- element reuse doesn't work * 594165 : [theoraenc] Implement support for new formats * 594256 : improved slave-skew resynch mechanism * 594258 : missing break in rtcpbuffer * 594275 : Add cast to navigation to fix compiler warning * 594623 : Expose playsink as a fully-fledged element * 594732 : parse error * 594757 : build fails due to warning in gstbasertppayload.c * 594993 : [introspection] pkg-config file madness * 594994 : [streamvolume] Add get_type function to the documentation * 595454 : [cddabasesrc] uri format change breaks rhythmbox * 545807 : [baseaudiosink] audible crack when starting the pipeline API changed in this release -
