We now only allow per port preallocated buffers. We exchange the index
into the array instead of passing the buffers around. We still use the
refcount to track when a buffer can be reused.
Improve API a little, allow passing the node as the first argument of
the interface call.
Implement alloc_buffer in v4l2 and improve the test.
Remove the old PinosBuffer object and replace it with SpaControl, this
communication protocol is designed to make it possible to implement
remote nodes and so it is moved to Spa.
Move SpaBuffer into to API
Work on easier API to make formats, implement enumeration and support
for all formats in v4l2.
Improve format output in -inspect
Keep state variable to enumerate things. This allows us to remove the
expectation that the same index will give the same item.
Use a new rectangle type for video size. When enumerating sizes, this
allows us to specify relations between width and height more easily.
Remove the struct and bytes type, they are like pointer.
Add filter to enum_formats to speed up enumerations.
Add generic pointer metadata type that is copied on import
Pass array of pointers to SpaBuffers in use_buffers.
Make sure we use the same data and metadata as the imported buffer.
Remove the thread from alsa sink and use the pollfd event.
Make it possible to pass multiple fds in one pollfd event
Add 3 callbacks to the pollfd event and add support for timeouts
Implement processing with writing to provided buffer or in-place
Fix types.
Add more PortInfo flags
Remove release-id, we now use a callback, which is more practical and
still allows deallocation out of the rt-threads if needed as well as
recycling the buffers into an atomic pool
Add more comments
Allow NULL in set_params to reset params
Add more buffer types to add and remove memory shared memory between the
server and client. We would like to send buffers only once and then
simply reference them by index.
Do format negotiation and stream start with a START message.
Bring back the channel object. Making a node and port on the client side
was rather awkward because of the async nature of many methods. It feels
better to have a specific communication channel object to interface with
a server side port.
Use port activate/deactivate to start/stop streams
Remove links from the ports. We let other objects install a callback on
the port to receive and route buffers.
Make it possible to have a mixer/spliter and converter for the gstreamer
sources and sinks.
Add logic to make a new input/output port when the existing ports are
not of the required format.
Make a property to limit the number of peers on a port. By default we can
link an output port multiple times (with the same format) but we can only
link to an input port once (else we would have to do mixing).
Use a pointer array to keep track of peers
The GstNodeFactory creates GstSource nodes without ports. When an
output port is created later, the proper GStreamer element will be
created in the node.
main.c registers a GstNodeFactory in the daemon, so clients can use it
in calls to CreateNode and CreatePort.
Add to GstSource the possibility to create the GStreamer element
when an output port is created, and not directly when the node is
created.
The element is chosen based on the requested format, using
GStreamer typefind as in the GstAutoDetect class.
