When MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay is not present in the MPD,
dashdemux can provide default suggestedPresentationDelay. However
when applying default value of suggestedPresentationDelay, the value
should be subtracted from current time, not added to it. When streams
setup is performed and live point is calculated, we have to go to the
wall clock (current time) minus suggestedPresentationDelay, if we tried
to start with current time plus suggestedPresentationDelay, we would
be asking for future stream, which has not yet been recorded. Also
the value needs to be converted from ms to us.

For duration queries on live streams, adaptivedemux ignores the query.
The problem then is that the query is answered by the downstream
qtdemux element, with the duration of the currently passing fragment.
This commit changes the behaviour of adaptivedemux to answer the duration
queries for live streams, returning GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

Parsing SIDX box was allowed even if "indexRange" attribute does not appear
for On-Demand profile. However, actual seeking using SIDX index did not happen
since download loop keep working on.
To use SIDX index in that case, demux should try it in the next download loop.

Section 5.3.3 in ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014 defines that invalid references

and just ignore the corresponding element.

Because xml parser cannot parse the multiple top-level elements

With MSVC, this gives the following warning:
warning C4305: 'function': truncation from 'double' to 'gfloat'
Apparently, MSVC does not figure out what type to use for constants
based on the assignment. This warning is very spammy, so let's try to
fix it.
And scale the bitrate with the absolute rate (if it's bigger than 1.0) to get
to the real bitrate due to faster playback.
This allowed in my tests to play a stream with 10x speed without buffering as
the lowest bitrate is chosen, instead of staying/selecting the highest bitrate
and then buffering all the time.
It was previously disabled for not very well specified reasons, which seem to
be not valid anymore nowadays.

This makes all dash seeking tests fail. Needs more testing to fully understand
what's going wrong. Revert ok'd by Sebastian
We don't need to call the latter at all as we're definitely in this period and
the segment is selected via the SIDX.
This is especially important when doing SNAP seeks, as otherwise we would
always start from the beginning of the period (usually 0) again.
The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range () function returns a stop value
that is beyond the available range. The functions
gst_mpd_client_check_time_position() and
gst_mpd_client_get_next_segment_availability_end_time() in
gstmpdparser.c include the segment duration when checking if a segment
is available. The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range() function
in gstdashdemux.c ignores the segment duration.
According to the DASH specification, if maxSegmentDuration is not present,
then the maximum Segment duration is the maximum duration of any Segment
documented in the MPD.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753751
This simplifies the code but also removes a bug with tracking of the remaining
size for the initial subfragment: we were not considering the size between the
index and the start of the first moof here.

A realtime clock is used in many places, such as deciding which
fragment to select at start up and deciding how long to sleep
before a fragment becomes available. For example dashdemux needs
sample the client's estimate of UTC when selecting where to start
in a live DASH stream.
The problem with dashdemux calculating the client's idea of UTC is
that it makes it difficult to create unit tests, because the passage
of time is a factor in the test.
This commit changes dashdemux and adaptivedemux to use the
GstSystemClock, so that a unit test can replace the system clock when
it needs to be able to control the clock.
This commit makes no change to the behaviour under normal usage, as
GstSystemClock is based upon the system time.

The code in the gst_dash_demux_parse_http_xsdate() was trying to
handle the case where the string is not null terminated by resizing
the buffer and appending a zero byte. This does not work if the buffer
is exactly the length of the string because the gst_buffer_resize()
function does not re-allocate the buffer, it just changes its size.
If a buffer is passed to gst_dash_demux_parse_http_xsdate() that is
exactly the length of the string, the function fails with an assert
failure in gst_buffer_resize().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762148
The function actually returns the segment availability start time (as defined by the standard).
That is at the end of the segment, but it is called availability start time.
Availability end time is something else (the time when the segment is no longer
available on the server). The function name was misleading.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757655
Adaptive demuxers need to start downloading from specific positions
(fragments) for every stream, this means that all streams can snap-seek
to a different position when requested. Snap seeking in this case will
be done in 2 steps:
1) do the snap seeking on the pad that received the seek event and
get the final position
2) use this position to do a regular seek on the other streams to
make sure they all start from the same position
More arguments were added to the stream_seek function, allowing better control
of how seeking is done. Knowing the flags and the playback direction allows
subclasses to handle snap-seeking.
And also adds a new return parameter to inform of the final
selected seeking position that is used to align the other streams.

Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer

gst_mpdparser_parse_utctiming_node does not validate the parsed values completely. The following scenarios are incorrectly accepted:
- elements with no schemeIdUri property should be rejected
- elements with unrecognized UTCTiming scheme should be rejected
- elements with empty values should be rejected
The last one triggers a division by 0 in gst_dash_demux_poll_clock_drift:
clock_drift->selected_url = clock_drift->selected_url % g_strv_length (urls);
because it urls is a valid pointer to an empty array.

Dashdemux has set the width and height information from MPD manifest.
Some embedded devices which are not insufficient H/W resources need more information such as framerate
to assign H/W resources. So I suggested that dashdemux also needs to set the framerate information from MDP manifest.

The stream->cur_seg_template is set to the lowest available segment
template (representation or adaptation or period, in this order).
Because the template elements are inherited, the lowest template will
have all the elements the parents had, so there is no need to check the
parent for an element that is not found in the child (eg initialisation
or index).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752714
The standard does not seem to make any particular explicit not
implicit reference to the signedness of durations, and the code
does not rely on such, nor on the negativity of the -1 value
that's used as a placeholder when a duration property is not
present in the XML.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750847
According to the standard:
"SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate and SegmentList shall inherit
attributes and elements from the same element on a higher level.
If the same attribute or element is present on both levels,
the one on the lower level shall take precedence over the one
on the higher level."
gst_mpdparser_parse_segment_list_node will now discard any inherited
segment URLs if the parsed element defines some too.

If MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay is not present in the manifest,
dashdemux selects the fragment closest to the most recently generated
fragment. This causes a playback issue because this choice does not allow
the DASH client to build up any buffer of downloaded fragments without
pausing playback. This is because by definition new fragments appear on
the server in real-time (e.g. if segment duration is 4 seconds, a new
fragment will appear on the server every 4 seconds). If the starting
playback position was n*segmentDuration seconds behind "now", the DASH
client could download up to 'n' fragments faster than realtime before it
reached the point where it needed to wait for fragments to appear on the
server.
The MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute allows a content publisher
to provide a suggested starting position that is behind the current
"live" position.
If the MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute is not present, provide
a suitable default value as a property of the dashdemux element. To
allow the default presentation delay to be specified either using
fragments or seconds, the property is a string that contains a number
and a unit (e.g. "10 seconds", "4 fragments", "2500ms").
Corrected the parsing of a segment template string.
Added unit tests to test the segment template parsing.
All reported problems are now correctly handled.

When building the media segment list using a SegmentList node, the

The same has to be done for AdaptationSet and SegmentList nodes still.
Also this does not correctly implement the semantics: by default Period (and

This reverts commit 626a8f0a74.

This reverts commit e671ad25a9.
The timestamps should restart at 0 again for each period, but we have to

In dash isombff profile the fragment is split into subframents where
bitrate switching is possible. Also take that into consideration
when checking if a stream has next fragments.
This GstStreamPeriod start value is expressed in nanoseconds,
and the glib time addition function expects microseconds.
There seems to have been a confusion with GstPeriodNode's start
field, which is expressed in milliseconds.
Additionally, add a warning if the timestamp modification did
not succeed, and NULL was returned.
Fix some very dubious code. The class methods should always
be set, and the instance-specific check should then be done
inside the method. For data_received that's there already, for
finish_fragment we need to add it.

The urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-head:2014 method of time synchronisation

response.
This commit adds support to gstfragment to return the HTTP headers

Unless the DASH client can compensate for the difference between its
clock and the clock used by the server, the client might request
fragments that either not yet on the server or fragments that have
already been expired from the server. This is an issue because these
requests can propagate all the way back to the origin
ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014/Amd 1 [PDAM1] defines a new UTCTiming element to allow
a DASH client to track the clock used by the server generating the
DASH stream. Multiple UTCTiming elements might be present, to indicate
support for multiple methods of UTC time gathering. Each element can
contain a white space separated list of URLs that can be contacted
to discover the UTC time from the server's perspective.
This commit provides parsing of UTCTiming elements, unit tests of this
parsing and a function to poll a time server. This function
supports the following methods:
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:ntp:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-ntp:2014
The manifest update task is used to poll the clock time server,
to save having to create a new thread.
When choosing the starting fragment number and when waiting for a
fragment to become available, the difference between the server's idea
of UTC and the client's idea of UTC is taken into account. For example,
if the server's time is behind the client's idea of UTC, we wait for
longer before requesting a fragment
