[vlc-devel] [PATCH 00/13] player: add a timer API

[Thomas Guillem]

Hello,

cf. https://code.videolan.org/tguillem/vlc/tree/clock-update/7 for the gitlab
branch.

This patch set aims to fixes several issues with the player (that was present
with the input_thread_t public API):

 - Delay between the input time and the output time resulting of a gap between
   UI time widgets and the outputted content (can be up to 2 seconds on some
   OS/ports).

 - Receiving too many time updates (very high fps or very low audio sample
   size) resulting on a CPU flood from the UI.

 - Not receiving enough time updates. Some inputs can have sample size bigger
   than 1 seconds. In that case, the time widget were updated every one seconds
   or more.

If this set is accepted, every interface/control modules should use this timer
instead of the on_position_changed() event.

Regards,

Thomas Guillem (13):
  clock: rename SetFirstPcr to SetReferencePoint
  clock: add SetFirstPcr
  es_out: add the ES_OUT_SET_FIRST_PCR control
  ts: notify the first pcr
  clock: forward clock update points
  input: forward clock update points
  input: send pause/playing date via events
  player: add the timer API
  aout: dummy: implement TimeGet
  demux: mock: add audio_block_length param
  test: player: add audio_block_length param
  test: player: test the timer API
  qt: use the new player timer
