AMC refactoring

Xavier Claessens requested to merge xclaesse/gst-plugins-bad:amc-refactor into master

This isolate JNI code as much as possible into its own module, with a JNI agnostic wrapper API.

Why doing that?

  • It moves 1500 lines of code out of gstamc.c that was 4000 lines long.
  • Makes much easier to port to NdkMediaCodec C API in the future.
  • Allows alternative implementation for supporting Magic Leap device. That platform is using Android's media stack, without Java. Their SDK exposes 1:1 the same API than Android's Java MediaCodec, but in C. I have a working implementation of AMC for Magic Leap, it can be merged as a follow-up MR if people are interested, which includes at least Mozilla: https://blog.servo.org/2019/07/09/media-update-h1-2019/.
