Introduction
the stable 1.x API series of your favourite cross-platform multimedia
framework!
-As always, this release is again packed with new features, bug fixes and
-other improvements.
+As always, this release is again packed with many new features, bug
+fixes and other improvements.
Highlights
- Support for Closed Captions and other Ancillary Data in video
-- Spport for planar (non-interleaved) raw audio
+- Support for planar (non-interleaved) raw audio
- GstVideoAggregator, compositor and OpenGL mixer elements are now in
-base
- The GStreamer Rust bindings and Rust plugins module are now
officially part of upstream GStreamer.
+- The GStreamer Editing Services gained a gesdemux element that allows
+ directly playing back serialized edit list with playbin or
+ (uri)decodebin
+
- Many performance improvements
to process the media in a live pipeline before it reaches the sink.
This is on top of the systemic latency that is normally reported by
the latency query. This defaults to 20ms and should make pipelines
- such as “v4lsrc ! xvimagesink” not claim that all frames are late in
- the QoS events. Ideally, this should replace max_lateness for most
- applications.
+ such as v4l2src ! xvimagesink not claim that all frames are late in
+ the QoS events. Ideally, this should replace the "max-lateness"
+ property for most applications.
- RTCP Extended Reports (XR) parsing according to RFC 3611:
Loss/Duplicate RLE, Packet Receipt Times, Receiver Reference Time,
Delay since the last Receiver (DLRR), Statistics Summary, and VoIP
- Metrics reports.
+ Metrics reports. This only provides the ability to parse such
+ packets, generation of XR packets is not supported yet and XR
+ packets are not automatically parsed by rtpbin / rtpsession but must
+ be actively handled by the application.
- a new mode for interlaced video was added where each buffer carries
a single field of interlaced video, with buffer flags indicating
|LEFT|LEFT|LEFT| and |RIGHT|RIGHT|RIGHT| residing in separate memory
chunks or separated by some padding.
-GStreamer has always had signalling for non-interleaved audio, but it
-was never actually properly implemented in any elements. audioconvert
-would advertise support for it, but wasn’t actually able to handle it.
+GStreamer has always had signalling for non-interleaved audio since
+version 1.0, but it was never actually properly implemented in any
+elements. audioconvert would advertise support for it, but wasn’t
+actually able to handle it correctly.
With this release we now have full support for non-interleaved audio as
well, which means more efficient integration with external APIs that
extracting Ancillary Data from videos as per the SMPTE S291M
specification, including:
-- a VBI (Video Blanking Interval) parser that can detect and extract
- Ancillary Data from Vertical Blanking Interval lines of component
- signals. This is currently supported for videos in v210 and UYVY
- format.
+- a VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) parser that can detect and
+ extract Ancillary Data from Vertical Blanking Interval lines of
+ component signals. This is currently supported for videos in v210
+ and UYVY format.
- a new GstMeta for closed captions: GstVideoCaptionMeta. This
supports the two types of closed captions, CEA-608 and CEA-708,
along with the four different ways they can be transported (other
systems are a superset of those).
-- a VBI (Video Blanking Interval) encoder for writing ancillary data
- to the Vertical Blanking Interval lines of component signals.
+- a VBI (Vertical Blanking Interval) encoder for writing ancillary
+ data to the Vertical Blanking Interval lines of component signals.
The new closedcaption plugin in gst-plugins-bad then makes use of all
this new infrastructure and provides the following elements:

different formats
-- line21decoder: extract line21 closed captions from SD video streams
+- line21encoder, line21decoder: inject/extract line21 closed captions
+ to/from SD video streams

- glalpha: New element that adds an alpha channel to a video stream.
The values of the alpha channel can either be set to a constant or
done in floating point so results may not be identical to the output
of the existing alpha element.

- rtspsrc now allows applications to send RTSP SET_PARAMETER and
GET_PARAMETER requests using action signals.

+ clients, so if no proper TEARDOWN is sent new clients may have
problems connecting to the server for a while.
- souphttpsrc behaves better with low bitrate streams now. Before it
- filesink: do internal buffering to avoid performance regression with
small writes since we bypass libc buffering by using writev()
+ instead of fwrite()
- identity: add "eos-after" property and fix "error-after" property
when the element is reused
- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for MKIs which allow multiple keys to
be used with a single SRTP stream
+- srtpdec, srtpenc: add support for AES-GCM and also add support for
+ it in gst-rtsp-server and rtspsrc.
+
- The srt Secure Reliable Transport plugin has integrated server and
client elements srt{client,server}{src,sink} into one (srtsrc and
srtsink), since SRT connection mode can be changed by uri
relays (TURN servers).
- The removesilence element has received various new features and
- properties, such as a
- "threshold"1 property, detecting silence only after minimum silence time/buffers, a“silent”property to control bus message notifications as well as a“squash”`
- property.

- AOMedia AV1 decoder gained support for 10/12bit decoding whilst the
AV1 encoder supports more image formats and subsamplings now and
"connector-properties" can be used to pass custom properties to the
DRM.
-- waylandsink has a "fullscreen" property now.
+- waylandsink has a "fullscreen" property now and supports the
+ XDG-Shell protocol.
+
+- decklinkvideosink, decklinkvideosrc support selecting between
+ half/full duplex
+
+- The vulkan plugin gained support for macOS and iOS via MoltenVK in
+ addition to the existing support for X11 and Wayland
+
+- imagefreeze has a new num-buffers property to limit the number of
+ buffers that are produced and to send an EOS event afterwards
+
+- webrtcbin has a new, introspectable get-transceiver signal in
+ addition to the old get-transceivers signal that couldn’t be used
+ from bindings

GstVideoAggregator, compositor, and OpenGL mixer elements moved from -bad to -base
GstVideoAggregator is a new base class for raw video mixers and muxers

+video inputs and ensures that the pipeline won’t stall even if one of
+the input streams stops producing data.
As part of the move to stabilise the API there were some last-minute API
changes and clean-ups, but those should mostly affect internal elements.
The compositor element has gained support for per-pad blending mode
operators (SOURCE, OVER, ADD) which determines what operator to use for
blending this pad over the previous ones. This can be used to implement
-crossfading.
+crossfading and the available operators can be extended in the future as

A number of OpenGL-based video mixer elements (glvideomixer, glmixerbin,
glvideomixerelement, glstereomix, glmosaic) which are built on top of
GstVideoAggregator have also been moved from -bad to -base now. These
elements have been merged into the existing OpenGL plugin, so if you get
duplicate type registration warnings when upgrading, check that you

- take functions for various mini objects that didn’t have them yet:
gst_query_take(), gst_message_take(), gst_tag_list_take(),
gst_clear_mini_object(), gst_clear_object()
- miniobject: new API gst_mini_object_add_parent() and
- gst_mini_object_remove_parent()to set parent pointers on mini objects to ensure correct writability: Every container of miniobjects now needs to store itself as parent in the child object, and remove itself again later. A mini object is then only writable if there is at most one parent, that parent is writable itself, and the reference count of the mini object is 1.GstBuffer(for memories),GstBufferList(for buffers),GstSample(for caps, buffer, bufferlist), andGstVideoOverlayComposition`
- were updated accordingly. Without this it was possible to have
- e.g. a buffer list with a refcount of 2 used in two places at once
- that both modify the same buffer with refcount 1 at the same time
- wrongly thinking it is writable even though it’s really not.

read. This is useful to wait for video4linux events which are
- gst_audio_buffer_truncate() convenience function to truncate a raw
audio buffer
+- GstDiscoverer has support for caching the results of discovery in
+ the default cache directory. This can be enabled with the use-cache
+ property and is disabled by default.
+
+- GstMeta that are attached to GstBuffers are now always stored in the
+ order in which they were added.

+- Additional support for signalling ONVIF specific features were
+ added: the SEEK event can store a trickmode-interval now and support
+ for the Rate-Control and Frames RTSP headers was added to the RTSP
+ library.

Miscellaneous performance and memory optimisations
Miscellaneous changes
-- As a result of moving to different FFmpeg APIs, encoder and decoder
+- As a result of moving to newer FFmpeg APIs, encoder and decoder
elements exposed by the GStreamer FFmpeg wrapper plugin (gst-libav)
may have seen possibly incompatible changes to property names and/or
types, and not all properties exposed might be functional. We are
import DMABUF FDs and also directly pass the pixel format, relying
on the GPU to do the conversion.
+- The OpenGL library no longer restores the OpenGL viewport. This is a
+ performance optimization to not require performing multiple
+ expensive glGet*() function calls per frame. This affects any
+ application or plugin use of the following functions and objects:
+ - glcolorconvert library object (not the element)
+ - glviewconvert library object (not the element)
+ - gst_gl_framebuffer_draw_to_texture()
+ - custom GstGLWindow implementations

GStreamer RTSP server
GStreamer VAAPI
-- this section will be filled in in due course
+- Support Wayland’s display for context sharing, so the application
+ can pass its own wl_display in order to be used for the VAAPI
+ display creation.
+
+- A lot of work to support new Intel hardware using media-driver as VA
+ backend.
+
+- For non-x86 devices, VAAPI display can instantiate, through DRM,
+ with no PCI bus. This enables the usage of libva-v4l2-request
+ driver.
+
+- Added support for XDG-shell protocol as wl_shell replacement which
+ is currently deprecated. This change add as dependency
+ wayland-protocol.
+
+- GstVaapiFilter, GstVaapiWindow, and GstVaapiDecoder classes now
+ inherit from GstObject, gaining all the GStreamer’s instrumentation
+ support.
+
+- The metadata now specifies the plugin as Hardware class.
+
+- H264 decoder is more stable with problematic streams.
+
+- In H265 decoder added support for profiles main-422-10 (P010_10LE),
+ main-444 (AYUV) and main-444-10 (Y410)
+
+- JPEG decoder handles dynamic resolution changes.
+
+- More specification adherence in H264 and H265 encoders.
+
+
+GStreamer OMX
+
+- Add support of NV16 format to video encoders input.
+
+- Video decoders now handle the ALLOCATION query to tell upstream
+ about the number of buffers they require. Video encoders will also
+ use this query to adjust their number of allocated buffers
+ preventing starvation when using dynamic buffer mode.
+
+- The OMX_PERFORMANCE debug category has been renamed to OMX_API_TRACE
+ and can now be used to track a widder variety of interactions
+ between OMX and GStreamer.
+
+- Video encoders will now detect frame rate only changes and will
+ inform OMX about it rather than doing a full format reset.
+
+- Various Zynq UltraScale+ specific improvements:
+ - Video encoders are now able to import dmabuf from upstream.
+ - Support for HEVC range extension profiles and more AVC profiles.
+ - We can now request video encoders to generate an IDR using the
+ force key unit event.
GStreamer Editing Services and NLE
-- this section will be filled in in due course
+- Added a gesdemux element, it is an auto pluggable element that
+ allows decoding edit list like files supported by GES
+
+- Added gessrc which wraps a GESTimeline as a standard source element
+ (implementing the ges protocol handler)
+
+- Added basic support for videorate::rate property potentially
+ allowing changing playback speed
+
+- Layer priority is now fully automatic and they should be moved with
+ the new ges_timeline_move_layer method, ges_layer_set_priority is
+ now deprecated.
+
+- Added a ges_timeline_element_get_layer_priority so we can simply get
+ all information about GESTimelineElement position in the timeline
+
+- GESVideoSource now auto orientates the images if it is defined in a
+ meta (overridable).
+
+- Added some PyGObject overrides to make the API more pythonic
+
+- The threading model has been made more explicit with safe guard to
+ make sure not thread safe APIs are not used from the wrong threads.
+ It is also now possible to properly handle in what thread the API
+ should be used.
+
+- Optimized GESClip and GESTrackElement creation
+
+- Added a way to compile out the old, unused and deprecated
+ GESPitiviFormatter
+
+- Re implemented the timeline editing API making it faster and making
+ the code much more maintainable
+
+- Simplified usage of nlecomposition outside GES by removing quirks in
+ it API usage and removing the need to treat it specially from an
+ application perspective.
+
+- ges-launch-1.0:
+
+ - Added support to add titles to the timeline
+ - Enhance the help auto generating it from the code
+
+- Deprecate ges_timeline_load_from_uri as loading the timeline should
+ be done through a project now
+
+- MANY leaks have been plugged and the unit testsuite is now “leak
+ free”
GStreamer validate
-- this section will be filled in in due course
+- Added an action type to verify the checksum of the sink last-sample
+
+- Added an include keyword to validate scenarios
+
+- Added the notion of variable in scenarios, with the set-vars keyword
+
+- Started adding support for “performance” like tests by allowing to
+ define the number of dropped buffers or the minimum buffer frequency
+ on a specific pad
+
+- Added a validateflow plugin which allows defining the data flow to
+ be seen on a particular pad and verifying that following runs match
+ the expectations
+
+- Added support for appsrc based test definition so we can instrument
+ the data pushed into the pipeline from scenarios
+
+- Added a mockdecryptor allowing adding tests with on encrypted files,
+ the element will potentially be instrumented with a validate
+ scenario
+
+- gst-validate-launcher:
+
+ - Cleaned up output
+
+ - Changed the default for “muting” tests as user doesn’t expect
+ hundreds of windows to show up when running the testsuite
+
+ - Fixed the outputted xunit files to be compatible with GitLab
+
+ - Added support to run tests on media files in push mode (using
+ pushfile://)
+
+ - Added support for running inside gst-build
+
+ - Added support for running ssim tests on rendered files
+
+ - Added a way to simply define tests on pipelines through a simple
+ .json file
+
+ - Added a python app to easily run python testsuite reusing all
+ the launcher features
+
+ - Added flatpak knowledge so we can print backtrace even when
+ running from within flatpak
+
+ - Added a way to automatically generated “known issues”
+ suppressions lines
+
+ - Added a way to rerun tests to check if they are flaky and added
+ a way to tolerate tests known to be flaky
+
+ - Add a way to output html log files
GStreamer Python Bindings
value per tag. The old ::iter_tag_list() function was renamed to
::iter_generic() and still provides access to each value for a tag
- Bus::iter() and Bus::iter_timed() iterators around the corresponding
- ::pop*() functions
+ ::pop\*() functions
- serde serialization of Value can also handle Buffer now
- New sctp plugin based on usrsctp (for WebRTC data channels)
+Cerbero
+
+Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
+on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
+Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
+
+Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
+
+- Cerbero has been ported to Python 3 and requires Python 3.5 or newer
+ now
+
+- Source tarballs are now protected by checksums in the recipes to
+ guard against download errors and malicious takeover of projects or
+ websites. In addition, downloads are only allowed via secure
+ transports now and plain HTTP, FTP and git:// transports are not
+ allowed anymore.
+
+- There is now a new fetch-bootstrap command which downloads sources
+ required for bootstrapping, with an optional --build-tools-only
+ argument to match the bootstrap --build-tools-only command.
+
+- The bootstrap, build, package and bundle-source commands gained a
+ new --offline switch that ensures that only sources from the cache
+ are used and never downloaded via the network. This is useful in
+ combination with the fetch and fetch-bootstrap commands that acquire
+ sources ahead of time before any build steps are executed. This
+ allows more control over the sources used and when sources are
+ updated, and is particularly useful for build environments that
+ don’t have network access.
+
+- bootstrap --assume-yes will automatically say ‘yes’ to any
+ interactive prompts during the bootstrap stage, such as those from
+ apt-get or yum.
+
+- bootstrap --system-only will only bootstrap the system without build
+ tools.
+
+- Manifest support: The build manifest can be used in continuous
+ integration (CI) systems to fixate the Git revision of certain
+ projects so that all builds of a pipeline are on the same reference.
+ This is used in GStreamer’s gitlab CI for example. It can also be
+ used in order to re-produce a specific build. To set a manifest, you
+ can set manifest = 'my_manifest.xml' in your configuration file, or
+ use the --manifest command line option. The command line option will
+ take precedence over anything specific in the configuration file.
+
+- The new build-deps command can be used to build only the
+ dependencies of a recipe, without the recipe itself.
+
+- new --list-variants command to list available variants
+
+- variants can now be set on the command line via the -v option as a
+ comma-separated list. This overrides any variants set in any
+ configuration files.
+
+- new qt5, intelmsdk and nvidia variants for enabling Qt5 and hardware
+ codec support. See the Enabling Optional Features with Variants
+ section in the Cerbero documentation for more details how to enable
+ and use these variants.
+
+- When building on Windows, Cerbero can now build GStreamer recipes
+ and core dependencies such as glib with Visual Studio. This is
+ controlled by the visualstudio variant. Visual Studio 2015, 2017,
+ and 2019 are supported. Currently, only 64-bit x86 is supported due
+ to a known bug which will be fixed for the next release.
+
+- A new -t / --timestamp command line switch makes commands print
+ timestamps
+
Platform-specific changes and improvements
Android
+- toolchain: update compiler to clang and NDKr18. NDK r18 removed the
+ armv5 target and only has Android platforms that target at least
+ armv7 so the armv5 target is not useful anymore.
+
- The way that GIO modules are named has changed due to upstream GLib
natively adding support for loading static GIO modules. This means
that any GStreamer application using gnutls for SSL/TLS on the
library. Look at this commit for the necessary change in the
examples.
+- various build issues on Android have been fixed.
+
macOS and iOS
-- macOS binaries should be fully relocatable now
+- various build issues on iOS have been fixed.
+
+- the minimum required iOS version is now 9.0. The difference in
+ adoption between 8.0 and 9.0 is 0.1% and the bump to 9.0 fixes some
+ build issues.

-Bugs fixed in 1.16
-
-- this section will be filled in in due course
-
-More than XXX bugs have been fixed during the development of 1.16.
-
-This list does not include issues that have been cherry-picked into the
-stable 1.16 branch and fixed there as well, all fixes that ended up in
-the 1.16 branch are also included in 1.16.
-
-This list also does not include issues that have been fixed without a
-bug report in bugzilla, so the actual number of fixes is much higher.

development of 1.17/1.18 will happen in the git master branch.
The plan for the 1.18 development cycle is yet to be confirmed, but it
-is expected that feature freeze will be around July 2019 followed by
-several 1.17 pre-releases and the new 1.18 stable release in
-August/September.
+is now expected that feature freeze will take place shortly after the
+GStreamer conference/hackfest in early November 2019, with the first
+1.18 stable release ready in late November or early December.
1.18 will be backwards-compatible to the stable 1.16, 1.14, 1.12, 1.10,
1.8, 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.0 release series.
