Description Jonathan Matthew 2006-05-03 09:46:16 UTC 
filesrc should have primary rank (as it did in gst 0.8) so gst_element_make_from_uri() uses it instead of gnomevfssrc for file:// URIs.
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-05-03 10:02:57 UTC 
YES! +1 from me.

The reason this hasn't happened yet is (IIRC) that no one has really tested the non-mmap paths of filesrc properly (like with mounted NFS drives or the like).

I wonder if we have a test program somewhere that hammers filesrc a bit and checks random access mode and push-mode etc.

        * plugins/elements/gstelements.c:
        * plugins/elements/gstfilesrc.c: (gst_file_src_class_init),
        (gst_file_src_init), (gst_file_src_set_property),
        (gst_file_src_get_property), (gst_file_src_start):
        * plugins/elements/gstfilesrc.h:

        Add a use-mmap property to enable easier testing of all code paths.
        Bump rank to PRIMARY, so filesrc is the preferred file reader and used
        in the absence of gnomevfssrc. (Closes #340501)
