[vlc-devel] [PATCH 00/12] Generalize the use of decoder device

[Steve Lhomme]

This patchset adds support for the decoder device in the following cases:
- decoder used to decode an image
- decoder used by the transcoder (later will be shared with the encoder)
- filters used for transcode
- decoder used in a mosaic bridge
- decoder used for SDI

Some decoder device will not be created if they are not attached to a window_t
but most of them should be usable. The --dec-dev option can force which device
type should be preferred rather than relying on module priorities.

After these patches the get_device callback of decoder owners is mandatory,
even if it returns NULL (no decoder device).

A branch with these patches can be found at

Steve Lhomme (12):
  decoder: use an object to create the decoder device
  decoder device: allow modules to create a decoder device
  transcode: video: implement the get_device to provide a decoder device
    to the decoder
  image: use a function to release the decoder
  image: implement the get_device to provide a decoder device to the
    decoder
  mosaic_bridge: use a function to release the decoder
  mosaic_bridge: implement the get_device to provide a decoder device to
    the decoder
  sout: sdi: add a method to release the decoder
  sout: sdi: implement the get_device to provide a decoder device to the
    decoder
  decoder: make the get_device callback mandatory
  mosaic_bridge: implement the hold_device for filters
  transcode: implement the hold_device for filters
