* 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.
* Moved data locking in the internal buffer class, includes handling
of backend writes.
* Takes advantage of inheritance for getting the size. The choice is
made depending on the flags. This allow the implementer to easily
return a custom size by reimplementing GetSize. At the same time
a plain BAdapterIO can still have it's total size set, but the behavior
will change depending it's mutable or not.
* Some decisions are now made by considering everything in absolute
values.
* Other minor fixes.
* This is by default provided using a relative buffer. When the
client request a seek over the range we currently have, we will
ask the backend with a SeekRequested. When the backend operation
ended successfully, the client is required to call SeekCompleted
before to return. This will cause the offset to change and the
buffer is cleaned as result. Next data received will be considered
to be at a position equal to the offset plus the relative position.
* This class is provided as a safe multithreaded communication channel
between a BMediaIO-like interface and a Read/Write backend.
* Includes internal buffering and can be used to provide multithreaded
edit of the data.
* Current limitations include missing BOutputAdapter and
correct timeout handling.
* Future plans provide a BRemoteAdapterIO that using ports
and areas allow to easily send big data between processes.
* When the user isn't requesting a custom notification, it will
be a BMediaRoster job to do it.
* Reintroduce BMediaRoster::SyncToServices, this time based on local
message passing rather than a global semaphore.
* SyncToServices is used in launch_media_server to make the process
more launch_daemon safe and faster in the average case.
* It was an error to add notifications in the media_server.
* Fixes#12717.
* Remove SyncToServices, I will probably readd it in future
but this time using a local synchronization service more than
relying on the media_server to release the semaphore.
* Due to some discussions today in mailing list I decided
to step back and retry the initial way to notify media rosters
about media services status. It is woking by using two different
notifications for reconnecting to the media_server and notifying
the local subscribers.
* This speed up the media services restart.
* Sorry for the noise and very thanks for reviewing my code to
everyone.
* The global synchro semaphore is provided with the purpose of
being used to avoid threads lock up when the media_server is in
an undefined state. There's still room for improvements.
* BMediaRoster::SyncToServices lock up on a semaphore until
the multi_audio correctly connected to the mixer.
* There's no need to force the streamer plugin to use a
BMediaIO. This class is supplied to accomodate more smart uses,
but in certain cases it makes just things more complex. If a
plugin doesn't need to have an internal caching method, then it
will be simpler to implement a block-consuming BDataIO and let
the internal BMediaIOWrapper to deal with caching.
* Since the BMediaRecorder have an it's own estabilished policy
relating releasing the producer node we will not interfere with
it except when we are controlled from Cortex.
* This required to review various parts of the code, and
isn't probably still perfect. The main problem was an attributes
hell where redondance created a lot of problems, all this data
is now controlled mostly by the node.
* Header indentation changes needed too.
* People interested, please review!
* This is based on the patch from Fredrik Moden which was based on
the Oleg Krysenkov one.
* The original patch has been reworked by myself.
* Adapted the code to work with the new PluginManager API which
differently than before doesn't need to contact the media_server.
* BMediaRoster is now capable to know which nodes are
instantiated in this team. This is also a first step to make
them survive after media_server crashes.
* A control at BMediaRoster::Quit can notify if all nodes
were correctly released. Ideally at this point the local nodes
list should be empty.
* Add -fgnu89-inline flag for libroot/posix/glibc
* Change __GNUC__ == 4 to __GNUC__ >= 4

Fixes#11990, most of the changes had already been done.
* This has been necessary due to the undefined call order of
of static objects. Fixes#12315.
* The bug has been caused by the linker which free unused resources,
making the BMediaRoster to run in a zombie state. In this state
anything such as a message could make the looper to crash.
* The class is reintroduced with some differences though, we are
going to protect it from another thread calling Roster() while the
BMediaRoster is quitting and implement BMediaRosterEx::Quit.
* Unregister registrar notifications before we quit our thread. Avoid
to uninitialize anything from QuitRequested as it may cause problems.
* This is done by watching to registrar notifications
and providing a minimal service to contact the
media roster in private API. The roster use this
service to automatically reconnect to the media_server.
* Improve consistency by adding a BMediaRosterEx destructor
and using it for the specular functionality of ctor instead
to use the father's class destructor.
* Avoid double initialization of MediaInitializer that
becomes MediaRosterUndertaker.
* Remove superfluos call to BMediaRoster::Quit()
in media_addon_server.
The media_server is now able to remember the timesource associated to
a certain registered_node and always remove it when the owner
application crash, Fixes Ticket #11852
The AddOnManager was in the global namespace, clashing with application
classes with the same name.
The input_server has an AddOnManager of its own. When the
shortcut_catcher filter was loaded by said AddOnManager, it in turn
loaded libgame.so, which in turn loaded libmedia.so, where an
AddOnManager was created for the global AddOnManager instance in
libmedia.so. Unfortunately the wrong AddOnManager, the one from the
input_server, was created. This lead to two AddOnManagers being active
in the input_server which very well could be responsible for #11049
and #11280.
This was a regression since the move of the AddOnManager from the
media_server to libmedia.so in hrev47086. This also fits with the two
tickets.
I actually noticed the problem when debugging the shutdown process of
the input_server, where the destruction of the wrong AddOnManager
caused a deadlock with itself.
* Use the preferred time source (GetTimeSource) for the node
* Fix node releasing when creating the connection fails
* Add virtual slots and padding
* Refactor _Connect method
The media server tried to use node monitoring to dynamically add and
remove plug-ins, but it isn't that useful:
* When a plug-in is added, applications would have to query the media
server to get an up to date list of available formats. For example
MediaConvert populates its format menus on startup.
* When removing a plugin, if an app already had it loaded, there is not
much that can be done to keep it working.
* The list of plugins was not sorted by directories (user vs system
add-ons), so the directories were re-scanned to make sure user add-ons
were returned first, rendering the node monitoring less interesting.
Now, the format handling is done by each application. The node
monitoring is removed, instead the apps will scan the plugin directory
when first using the media kit classes. Restarting the application is
needed to update the media formats list.
