Bug 132247 – [GStreamer] Use GstMetaVideo

• Component: WebKit Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Víctor M. Jáquez L.]

In WebKitVideoSink we announce the usage of GstMetaVideo, but we do not use it when handling the video frames. This might break some decoders and filters that rely on buffer's meta, rather that static caps structures.

This patch will enable the use of GstMetaVideo if it is available in the buffer.

Well, this is not quite right. I would strongly recommend using the GstVideoFrame API, gst_video_frame_map()/gst_video_frame_unmap(). This way you don't have to worry how to map a buffer base on whether or not it has GstVideoMeta.

Oh yes that would be much better indeed. Care to update the patch Victor?

This is quite unrelated, I'd rather do this in a separate patch, also cleaning the similar ones in MediaPlayerPrivateGStreamerBase.cpp

You should ideally call gst_video_info_init(&videoInfo), since info_from_caps() will only set what it finds in the caps, leaving random value in C, and non-default in C++. Will help if you run some memory checker. (found 2 times)

> +    int stride = GST_VIDEO_FRAME_PLANE_STRIDE(&m_videoFrame, 0);
Not sure if you guys uses these, but an assert that there is only 1 plane would be a nice to have. So if a dev wants to add planar formats support, it won't endup doing weird things silently.

These are details, looks good, nice work !
