- introduce two new properties:
* temporal-scalability-layer-flags:
Provide fine-grained control of layer encoding to the
outside world. The flags sequence should be a multiple of
the periodicity and is indexed by a running count of encoded
frames modulo the sequence length.
* temporal-scalability-layer-sync-flags:
Specify the pattern of inter-layer synchronisation (i.e.
which of the frames generated by the layer encoding
specification represent an inter-layer synchronisation).
There must be one entry per entry in
temporal-scalability-layer-flags.
- apply temporal scalability settings and expose as buffer
metadata.
This allows the codec to allocate a given frame to the correct
internal bitrate allocator. Additionally, all the
non-bitstream metadata needed to payload a temporally scaled
stream is now attached to each output buffer as a
GstVideoVP8Meta.
- add unit test for temporally scaled encoding.

Scenario:
- gap event causes h264parse to push made up caps that may fail checks
inside qtmux (e.g missing codec_data).
- the caps event has already been marked as received and is sticky on
the sink pad
- gst_qt_mux_pad_can_renegotiate() will retrieve the failed caps event
using gst_pad_get_current_caps() and reject the correct updated caps
with codec_data.
- Failure!
Keep track of the configured caps ourselves instead of relying on the
sticky event on the pad.

If we have not received a FU with a start bit set, any subsequent FU
data is not useful at all and would result in an invalid stream.
This case is constructed from multiple requirements in
RFC 3984 Section 5.8 and RFC 7798 Section 4.4.3. Following are excerpts
from RFC 3984 but RFC 7798 contains similar language.
The FU in a single FU case is forbidden:
A fragmented NAL unit MUST NOT be transmitted in one FU; i.e., the
Start bit and End bit MUST NOT both be set to one in the same FU
header.
and dropping is possible:
If a fragmentation unit is lost, the receiver SHOULD discard all
following fragmentation units in transmission order corresponding to
the same fragmented NAL unit.
The jump in seqnum case is supported by this from the specification
instead of implementing the forbidden_zero_bit mangling:
If a fragmentation unit is lost, the receiver SHOULD discard all
following fragmentation units in transmission order corresponding to
the same fragmented NAL unit.
A receiver in an endpoint or in a MANE MAY aggregate the first n-1
fragments of a NAL unit to an (incomplete) NAL unit, even if fragment
n of that NAL unit is not received. In this case, the
forbidden_zero_bit of the NAL unit MUST be set to one to indicate a
syntax violation.

Used by some proprietary software for their fragmented files.
Adds some support for multi-stream fragmented files
Flow is as follows.
1. The first 'fragment' is written as a self-contained fragmented
mdat+moov complete with an edit list and durations, tags, etc.
2. Subsequent fragments are written with a mdat+moof and each stream is
interleaved as data arrives (currently ignoring the interleave-*
properties). data-offsets in both the traf and the trun ensure
data is read from the correct place on demuxing. Data/chunk offsets
are also kept for writing out the final moov.
3. On finalisation, the initial moov is invalidated to a hoov and the
size of the first mdat is extended to cover the entire file contents.
Then a moov is written as regularly would in moov-at-end mode (the
default).
This results in a file that is playable throughout while leaving a
finalised file on completion for players that do not understand
fragmented mp4.

- make test_encode_simple cope with libvpx built with
CONFIG_REALTIME_ONLY. Sadly, there's no way to detect this at
runtime beyond trying to set lag-in-frames to >0, pushing a
buffer and catching the GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED return.
- fix bitrot in test_encode_simple_when_bitrate_set_to_zero.
- port test_encode_simple to GstHarness and introduce a separate
test for the lag-in-frames property.

Previously, the user input for stsd entries is trusted completely, and
so a maliciously crafted file could choose the length of the stsd
entries arbitrarily and cause qtdemux to try to allocate up to 2GB of
memory (half of a 32 bit max int).
This patch fixes this by sanity checking the stsd input against the
size of the entire stsd atom.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good/-/merge_requests/670>
During trak parsing, we need to check for the existence of stsd_entries,
otherwise, we end up with a NULL pointer to them. It is entirely
possible for the stsd to exist, but for it to have no entries, which the
previous checks did not take into account.
This patch adds a simply check to ensure that all files that do not
contain a stsd entry are deemed corrupt, and adds a test case to prevent
a regression.

The (h,v)flip attributes are now supported through this interface.
It should also be possible to support (h,v)center attributes using the
ROI properties.
This small test will display a live video preview of the rpicam with
the balance controls being updated once a second. The controls to
update can be disabled in the source by setting the CONTROL_* macros
values to 0.
Set up our plugin include list for tests in such a way that
we don't pull in *all* plugins from -bad but only the one
used in the splitmuxsink unit test, i.e. the timecode plugin,
so we don't accidentally use other encoders/decoders such as
nvenc/dec for example.

As part of this also change the default bitrate value to 0. The default
value was 256000 previously. In reality, if the property was not set the
bitrate value would be scaled according to the resolution which is not
very intuitive behavior. It is better to use 0 for this purpose. Now
together with newly introduced property "bits-per-pixel" 0 means to
assign the bitrate according to resolution/framerate.
The default bitrates are now
- 1.2Mbps for VP8 720p@30fps
- 0.8Mbps for VP9 720p@30fps
and scaled accordingly for different resolutions/framerates.
Previously the default bitrate was also not scaled according to the
framerate but only took the resolution into account.
This also fixes the side effect of setting bitrate to 0. Previously
encoder would not produce any data at all.
Addition from Sebastian Dröge <sebastian@centricular.com> to assume
30fps if no framerate is given in the caps instead of not calculating
any bitrate at all.

For VP8 it's possible to signal width or height to be 0, but it does
not make sense to do so. For VP9 it's impossible. Hence, we most
likely have a corrupt stream. Trying to negotiate caps downstream with
either width or height as 0 will fail with something like
gst_video_decoder_negotiate_default: assertion 'GST_VIDEO_INFO_WIDTH (&state->info) != 0' failed

If core is built as a subproject (e.g. as in gst-build), make sure to use
the gst-plugin-scanner from the built subproject. Without this, gstreamer
might accidentally use the gst-plugin-scanner from the install prefix if
that exists, which in turn might drag in gst library versions we didn't
mean to drag in. Those gst library versions might then be older than
what our current build needs, and might cause our newly-built plugins
to get blacklisted in the test registry because they rely on a symbol
that the wrongly-pulled in gst lib doesn't have.
This should fix running of unit tests in gst-build when invoking
meson test or ninja test from outside the devenv for the case where
there is an older or different-version gst-plugin-scanner installed
in the install prefix.
In case no gst-plugin-scanner is installed in the install prefix, this
will fix "GStreamer-WARNING: External plugin loader failed. This most
likely means that the plugin loader helper binary was not found or
could not be run. You might need to set the GST_PLUGIN_SCANNER
environment variable if your setup is unusual." warnings when running
the unit tests.
In the case where we find GStreamer core via pkg-config we use
a newly-added pkg-config var "pluginscannerdir" to get the right
directory. This has the benefit of working transparently for both
installed and uninstalled pkg-config files/setups.

The problem was this:
Due to the highly irregular arrival of RTX-packet the max-misorder variable
could be pushed very low. (-10).
If you then at some point get a big in the sequence-numbers (62 in the
test) you end up sending RTX-requests for some of those packets, and then
if the sender answers those requests, you are going to get a bunch of
RTX-packets arriving. (-13 and then 5 more packets in the test)
Now, if max-misorder is pushed very low at this point, these RTX-packets
will trigger the handle_big_gap_buffer() logic, and because they arriving
so neatly in order, (as they would, since they have been requested like
that), the gst_rtp_jitter_buffer_reset() will be called, and two things
will happen:
1. priv->next_seqnum will be set to the first RTX packet
2. the 5 RTX-packet will be pushed into the chain() function
However, at this point, these RTX-packets are no longer valid, the
jitterbuffer has already pushed lost-events for these, so they will now
be dropped on the floor, and never make it to the waiting loop-function.
And, since we now have a priv->next_seqnum that will never arrive
in the loop-function, the jitterbuffer is now stalled forever, and will
not push out another buffer.
The proposed fixes:
1. Don't use RTX in calculation of the packet-rate.
2. Don't use RTX in large-gap logic, as they are likely to be dropped.
gst_buffer_map () results in memcopying when a GstBuffer contains
more than one GstMemory.
This has quite an impact on performance on systems with limited amount
of resources. With this patch the whole GstBuffer will not be mapped at
once, instead each individual GstMemory will be iterated and mapped
separately.
There is a use-case for a server to re-payload opus going through it.
Problem was that the payloader requires channels in the caps, but
this is not something the depayloader can parse out of the stream, meaning
caps-negotiation would fail.
Removing the requirement of channels in the template-caps fixes this.
Mainly generalize all the latest tests that have found various stalls
in the jitterbuffer, so that they only consist of a series of packets
with various seqnum/rtptime/rtx combinations, arriving at a specific time.
This means future tests can be more easily written to prove certain
behavior does not cause stalls.
Also fix the warning on windows:
warning C4244: 'initializing': conversion from 'double' to 'gint', possible loss of data
This is a concept that only applies when a buffer arrives in the chain
function, and it has already been scheduled as part of a "multi"-lost
timer.
However, "multi"-lost timers are now a thing of the past, making this
whole concept superflous, and this buffer is now simply counted as "late",
having already been pushed out (albeit as a lost-event).
There is a problem with the code today, where a single timer will
be scheduled for a series of lost packets, and then if the first packet
in that series arrives, it will cause a rescheduling of that timer, going
from a "multi"-timer to a single-timer, causing a lot of the packets
in that timer to be unaccounted for, and creating a situation in where
the jitterbuffer will never again push out another packet.
This patch solves the problem by instead of scheduling those lost packets
as another timer, it instead asks to have that lost-event pushed straight
out.
This very much goes with the intent of the code here: These packets are
so desperately late that no cure exists, and we might as well get the
lost-event out of the way and get on with it.
This change has some interesting knock-on effect being presented in
later commits. It completely removes the concept of "already-lost", so
that is why that test has been disabled in this commit, to be
removed later.
