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
Add autoconnect property to the ports
Remove the upload-node, clients that want to upload media just create a
node with an (unconnected) output port. Other clients can then connect
to this new output port.
Copy formats on newly linked ports.
Remove the client object, it is not very useful now that we have the
nodes.
Fix some properties on the proxy objects.
Use sendmsg and recvmsg directly because the GIO ones do allocations.
make pinos_properties_merge and use it to combine properties from nodes
and ports.
Add refcounting to buffers.
Use static memory on ports for buffer input and output memory.
Improve negotiation, let format and properties be negotiated on ports as
the data passes.
Improve some debug info.
Add buffer flags. The idea is to make it possible to easily check when a
buffer contains control information that we need to parse to update the
port fields.
Make the client create remote nodes and ports and set up proxies for
them.
Make a port base class implementing most of the logic to pass buffers
locally and remotely.
Remove most code from stream.c, it's now in the port.
Make a portsink and portsrc that can write and read to/from any port. We
use these in the server to send and receive data.
Rework format negotiation. The final format is now sent in-line before
the data. The server will select a format on output ports.
A port is an input or output on a Node.
Channels are created from the ports and inherit the direction of the
port.
do automatic port selection based on the direction and caps and
node/port name.
Simplify stream_connect by passing the direction.
Fix pinossink to connect in setcaps so that we know the format and can
select a good sink to connect to.
Make an object for a processing node.
Implement a sink node. Make it possible to implement Sink and Source
interfaces to provide input/output from the node.
Improve pinosdepay to track fds and handle format changes.
Rename the source-output object to channel because it is used for both
input and output.
Start the beginnings of sink support. This will make it possible to make
pinos consume data as well as provide data.
Detect a format change in the payloader and post an element message.
Catch the format change element message in the client-source and use it
to update the format and possible formats in the source and source-outputs.
Add a global object that can be used to track outstanding fds for a
client. This can later also be used to limit the number of fds per
client.
Use this in the payloader to track fds. This makes it possible to track
the fds even when the client reconnects.
Set the client patch on the socket so that we can use it to track the
fds we sent to this client.
When the client disappears, release all outstanding fds.
Make sure we unref the source-input when it is removed.
When the source-input is removed, we should also unref the source. Do
this by adding the source as data for the source-input and unreffing it
when the source-input is freed.
