* stop the extractor processing before deleting the source.
* crash happened in MediaPlayer FilePlaylistItem::_CalculateDuration().
* was a regression introduced in hrev50671.
* fixes#13156.
* It's very important to use a negative value to identify
non valid or uninitialized connections. Additionally, it's preferred
to don't interfere with media_kit types as long as the framework use
it in the backend.
* There's no need to supply ways to mismatch the buffer duration
and size. Anything should reflect the media_format, this is at least
fixed on API level.
* There's no point actually in providing BTimeSource dependant
functionality. If and when there will be need for something like
that, possibly never, an higher level solution will be integrated.
* The idea is to move the callback based mechanism into a derived
class. The objects can be composed to create working systems.
* The BMediaClient class supply RegisterInput/RegisterOutput
and BeginInput/BeginOutput is moved to BSimpleMediaClient.
* Various minor fixes.
* Capabilities() become Kind()
* Use media_client and media_connection to better model
the different situations of the API. Reduce code duplication
and move media_kit structs/methods into private.
* Various API and beauty improvements.
* Introduce id management for media_connections.
* Fix different issues preventing to correctly begin a connection.
* Those structs are provided as replacement for the classic
media_kit ones. They provide better encapsulation of the data
and the resulting code is heavily simplified. It's planned to
introduce BMediaRoster functions to provide conversion from
media_node and media_input/media_output to media_client
and media_connection.
* The BMediaClient is an higher level API to the media_kit. It
corresponds to what the layout API was for the interface_kit.
The main idea is to allow the developer concentrate only on
higher level details and avoiding handle with the tricky parts
of the media_kit. At the same time the general purpose node that
is implemented inside would allow implementing the best techniques
around thus at the same time reducing code duplication and increasing
efficiency.
* BMediaClient is WIP, this is the initial merge of the branch.
The initial development stone was set long time ago and walked
through various design/implementation phases.
* Ideally we should support this feature by default to allow
future improvements to the plugins management.
* Fixes the major memory corruption that lead to various
crashes on exit in MediaPlayer.
* Wait evaluation is done considering both position
and buffer size.
* Set back position to 0 after seeking.
* Simplify EvaluatePosition to take advantage of inheritance.
* Use back position to determine the current size of the buffer.
* Add more debug tracing.
* Other minor fixes.
* Implement Open/Close mechanism.
* Implement SetBuffer.
* Implement timeout handling.
* Improve Seek mechanism, this is now working by locking the
thread until the backend call SeekCompleted.
