the patch

Hi.

Here's the patch.
I decided to open a new entry for it, leaving the previous
one for the small patches to the existing code, that are
relevant to this.
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-23 11:21:01 UTC 
Needs to be updated to 1.0, and also the patch contains some unrelated changes. Are you planning to work on that?
Comment 2 Stas Sergeev 2013-08-23 11:25:20 UTC 
What do you mean by an unrelated changes?

In bug 657343 it was said that the different approach
is needed for gst-1.0, and on that I am not planning to
work. If you can get any use of what is currently here,
then I can be in service (like, eg, at least update it
with the latest fixes I did locally).
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-23 11:29:24 UTC 
It includes a DVB video sink too
Comment 4 Stas Sergeev 2013-08-23 11:32:59 UTC 
PES video sink for DVB is an essential part of
the PES support (at least, as was in my plan).
Comment 5 Edward Hervey 2013-08-23 11:34:15 UTC 
The first step would be to add a PES GstMeta which demuxers could output, and which muxers (or sinks) could take. But the caps would remain standard gstreamer caps (ex: video/x-h264).

I'm still not 100% convinced about the usefulness of standalone PES parser/packetizer/depacketizer.

Actually, this doesn't even look plausible.
I could spend months of work updating the code,
and then, 2 years of rot in bugzilla, and it
is useless again.
Comment 7 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2013-08-26 08:02:27 UTC 
Edward, so let's keep this open or not? Is anybody realistically going to work on supporting this properly?
Comment 8 Edward Hervey 2013-08-26 08:12:04 UTC 
Let's close it and re-open when/if someone wants this.
