Bug 138866 – [GStreamer] Bump internal jhbuild versions to 1.4.4

• Component: Platform
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Philippe Normand]

We currently test with 1.2.1 which is one year old. I think we should bump to a more recent release especially because of the gst upstream improvements in HLS.

I have a patch locally but need to check tests with a Debug build.

Fewer patches to maintain!. I guess this doesn't affect the layout tests results.

[Philippe Normand]

I have found only one affected test, see bug 138867

[Philippe Normand]

This can't be landed yet, the HLS tests are broken with this version... :(

Carlos, can you please review this again? I had to make a small change
in the player as well.

How is this related to gst 1.4.4, why we didn't this before? Use nullptr, instead of NULL

I'm not sure yet. I still need to find the gst commit that introduced this change but in any case this change is harmless for any gst 1.x version.

Since we've been relying on BUFFERING messages for quite a while now it's good anyway that we make sure those are emitted.
