RTP and RTCP packets can be muxed together on the same channel (see
RFC5761) and can arrive in the same buffer list.
The GStreamer rtpsession element support RFC5761, so add a test to cover
this case for buffer lists too.
Buffers with different timestamps (e.g. packets belonging to different
frames) can arrive together in the same buffer list,
Add a test to cover this case.
When a new source fails to pass the probation period (i.e. new packets
have non-consecutive sequence numbers), then no buffer shall be pushed
downstream. Add a test to validate this case.
Add a test to verify that stats about received packets are correct when
using buffer lists in the rtpsession receive path.
Split get_session_source_stats() in two to be able to get stats from
a GstRtpSession object directly.
The primary video stream is used to select fragment cut points
at keyframe boundaries. Auxilliary video streams may be
broken up at any packet - so fragments may not start with a keyframe
for those streams.
If the conflict is detected when sending a packet, then also send an
upstream event to tell the source to reconfigure itself.
Also ignore the collision if we see more than one collision from the same
remote source to avoid problems on loops.
Add a new property "do-aggregate"* to the H.264 RTP payloader which
enables STAP-A aggregation as per [RFC-6184][1]. With aggregation enabled,
packets are bundled instead of sent immediately, up until the MTU size.
Bundles also end at access unit boundaries or when packets have to be
fragmented.
*: The property-name is kept generic since it might apply more widely,
e.g. STAP-B or MTAP.

In the case of reordered packets, calculating skew would cause
pts values to be off. Only calculate skew when packets come
in as expected. Also, late RTX packets should not trigger
clock skew adjustments.
Fixes#612
If, say, a rtx-packet arrives really late, this can have a dramatic
effect on the jitterbuffer clock-skew logic, having it being reset
and losing track of the current dts-to-pts calculations, directly affecting
the packets that arrive later.
This is demonstrated in the test, where a RTX packet is pushed in really
late, and without this patch the last packet will have its PTS affected
by this, where as a late RTX packet should be redundant information, and
not affect anything.
This patch corrects the delay set on EXPECTED timers that are added when
processing gaps. Previously the delay could be too small so that
'timout + delay' was much less than 'now', causing the following retries
to be scheduled too early. (They were sent earlier than
rtx-retry-timeout after the previous timeout.)
Turns out that the "big-gap"-logic of the jitterbuffer has been horribly
broken.
For people using lost-events, an RTP-stream with a gap in sequencenumbers,
would produce exactly that many lost-events immediately.
So if your sequence-numbers jumped 20000, you would get 20000 lost-events
in your pipeline...
The test that looks after this logic "test_push_big_gap", basically
incremented the DTS of the buffer equal to the gap that was introduced,
so that in fact this would be more of a "large pause" test, than an
actual gap/discontinuity in the sequencenumbers.
Once the test was modified to not increment DTS (buffer arrival time) with
a similar gap, all sorts of crazy started happening, including adding
thousands of timers, and the logic that should have kicked in, the
"handle_big_gap_buffer"-logic, was not called at all, why?
Because the number max_dropout is calculated using the packet-rate, and
the packet-rate logic would, in this particular test, report that
the new packet rate was over 400000 packets per second!!!
I believe the right fix is to don't try and update the packet-rate if
there is any jumps in the sequence-numbers, and only do these calculations
for nice, sequential streams.
sethostent() seems to be using a global state and we endup with leaks from
that API when called through shout_init(). We had the option to only
ignore the shout case, but the impression is that if we have shout and
another sethostend user, as it's a global state, we may endup with a
different stack trace for the same leak. So in the end, we just ignore
memory allocated by sethostent in general.
In this change we now protect the internal srcpads list using the
stream lock and limit usage of the internal stream lock to
preventing data flowing on the other src pad type while creating
and signalling the new pad.
This fixes a deadlock with RTPBin shutdown lock. These two locks would
end up being taken in two different order, which caused a deadlock. More
generally, we should not rely on a streamlock when handling out-of-band
data, so as a side effect, we should not take a stream lock when
iterating internal links.
We recently added code to remove outdate NACK to avoid using bandwidth
for packet that have no chance of arriving on time. Though, this had a
side effect, which is that it was to get an early RTCP packet with no
feedback into it. This was pretty useless but also had a side effect,
which is that the RTX RTT value would never be updated. So we we stared
having late RTX request due to high RTT, we'd never manage to recover.
This fixes the regression by making sure we keep at least one NACK in
this situation. This is really light on the bandwidth and allow for
quick recover after the RTT have spiked higher then the jitterbuffer
capacity.
Right now, we may call on-new-ssrc after we have processed the first
RTP packet. This prevents properly configuring the source as some
property like "probation" are copied internally for use as a
decreasing counter. For this specific property, it prevents the
application from disabling probation on auxiliary sparse stream.
Probation is harmful on sparse streams since the probation algorithm
assume frequent and contiguous RTP packets.
We used to split the NACK if a smaller seqnum of a range of seqnum was
submited. This test also make sure that the three operations (append,
prepend, update) works properly.
Calling rtp_session_send_rtcp before marking the source as requiring a
pli/fir/nack meant the rtcp_thread could be scheduled and start running
before the source was updated. This meant the request would not be sent
early but instead was transmitted with the next regular RTCP packet.
Add test for nack generation.
Add a test to verify that stats about sent and received packets are
correct even when using buffer lists.
NOTE: the newly introduced get_session_source_stats() selects the
desired source (sender or receiver) by filtering them by type (using the
get_sender parameter) rather than by ssrc because this simplifies the
code and it's good enough for testing purposes as there is usually one
source per type in the test setup.
Filtering by ssrc would have required handling asynchronous signals like
"on-new-sender-ssrc", with the relative locking, just to retrieve the
actual ssrc of the sender.
The tests create a buffer list and then use the chain_list callback to
verify that the correct packets have been pushed.
Move the creation and validation code next to each other so that the
reader can more easily understand what is going on.
While at it add some comments to introduce the two related functions.
Make it possible to differentiate between the position in the list and
the packet index in the global structures in check_packet, in some
future case the list may change, in case some element removes a buffer
from the list, and the two indices may not coincide.
