When playing a live stream, make the recommended buffering threshold at most the
hold-back distance from live. If we start 3 seconds from the live edge, there's
no point trying to buffer more - we'll just hit the live edge and have to wait
for more data to be available anyway.

Add a field to the DownloadRequest that reports the most recent time at which
data arrived. Update it in the DownloadHelper.
Add a method to retrieve the GST_BUFFER_OFFSET() for the DownloadRequest's data
buffer (if any).
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
After cancelling a DownloadRequest, the download helper may not do so
immediately, so we can't assert on the in_use flag. Also, since there's no
refcount on the preload hint struct in the download request callback data, make
sure no callbacks will be dispatched when we're going to free the preload hint
struct.

Implement fulfilment of HTTP requests from the active preload downloads by
finding any preload request that can provide the requested data and feeding
bytes from the internal DownloadRequest to the caller provided target
DownloadRequest.
Doesn't yet calculate timestamps to make the target request have a sensible
apparent bitrate.

Add download_request_take_buffer_range() and
download_request_get_bytes_available() methods.
download_request_take_buffer_range() takes bytes from the front of the request
that satisfy the requested start/end byterange, and puts any remaining bytes
back into the DownloadRequest

Add a helper that submits and handles blocking preload requests for future
PART/MAP data from live playlists. Add handling in the hlsdemux stream to submit
preload requests when hitting the end of the available segments in a live
playlist.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Add a flag to hlsdemux to enable or disable LL-HLS handling.
When LL-HLS is enabled and an LL-HLS playlist is loaded, use the part-hold-back
threshold to choose a starting segment.
For live streams that aren't LL-HLS, use the provided hold-back attribute, or
fall back to landing 3 segments from the end.
Make the gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() method able to choose a partial segment
within 2 target durations of the end of the playlist when requested.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Fix an off-by-one in gst_hls_media_playlist_sync_to_playlist() that would ignore
the first fragment in the reference playlist. The error was harmless, since we
expect the reference playlist to be older than the playlist we're
synchronising (so the first/oldest segment in the reference playlist will likely
not exist in the new playlist), so this is just for correctness.
Also fix a segment leak in gst_hls_media_playlist_advance_fragment() when
ignoring the partial_only segment.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Add a function for synchronising current position with the contents of a
playlist that is specifically for that and can handle synchronising to a partial
segment.
gst_hls_media_playlist_seek() will be used only when performing external seek
requests, to find the best segment or partial segment at which to resume
playback.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3883>
Fixes for stream_time recalculation and handling in partial segments.
Disallow bitrate switching when in the middle of partial segments - only at a
full segment (or right before the first partial segment of a segment).
It's possible but more difficult to switch bitrates in the middle of a partial
segment group, since they are less likely to have aligned keyframes. In any
case, the seek code can't do that right now.

When calculating the presentation offset for CMAF input in live
playback, subtract the stream_time of the fragment from the
calculated presentation offset, so that the first fragment
is played at running time zero.

The stream selection is done on the currently outputting tracks, but in order to
(de)activate the backing streams we can only do it if the input and output
period are identical.

Instead of returning a "const gchar" or a "gchar" that should not be freed, always
return a duplicated string as those functions were used together with g_strdup anyway.
This is needed to prepare support for returning modified strings in next commit.

Unlike the legacy elements, GstAdaptiveDemuxStream is a GObject now,
so a bunch of things that were actually stream methods on the
parent demux object can directly become stream methods now.

Sometimes g_input_stream_read_all_finish() can return

The cancelled flag was only set in the stream finalize()
method, after all activity on the stream has stopped anyway.
Replace uses of cancelled with checks on the stream state.
Remove the replaced flag, which was checked but never set
to TRUE anywhere any more.

When matching segments across playlists with Program-Date-Times,
use the difference in segment PDTs to adjust the stream time
that's being transferred. This can fix cases where the
segment boundaries don't align across different streams
and the first download gets thrown away once the PTS
is seen and found not to match.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3309>
Check whether the init file / MAP data for a segment
is different to the current data and trigger an
update if so. Previously, the header would only
be checked in HLS after switching bitrate or
after a seek / first download.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/3307>
Previously the minimum buffering threshold was hardcoded to a specific
value (10s). This is suboptimal this an actual value will depend on the actual
stream being played.
This commit sets the low watermark threshold in time to 0, which is an automatic
mode. Subclasses can provide a stream `recommended_buffering_threshold` when
update_stream_info() is called.
Currently implemented for HLS, where we recommended 1.5 average segment
duration. This will result in buffering being at 100% when the 2nd segment has
been downloaded (minus a bit already being consumed downstream)

These values will be referred to as timestamp relative to period start
so need to subtract period start time from the values.
Fixes a problem with determining the start position when playing Live content
with SegmentTimeline, presentationTimeOffset and a non-0 period start time.

Change the way streams are woken up to download more data.
Instead of checking the level on tracks that are being
output as data is dequeued, calculate a 'wakeup time'
at which it should download more data, and wake up
the stream when the global output position crosses
that threshold.
For efficiency, compute the earliest wakeup time
for all streams and store it on the period, so the
output loop can quickly check only a single value
to decide if something needs waking up.
Does the same buffering as the previous method,
but ensures that as we approach the end of
one period, the next period continues incrementally
downloading data so that it is fully buffered when
the period starts.
Fixes issues with multi-period VOD content where
download of the second period resumes only after
the first period is completely drained.

Some servers can return playlists with "old" media playlists and different
Discont Sequence.
In those cases, the segment stream times would be negative when creating a new
time mapping. In order to properly handle such scenarios, shift the values to
stored accordingly to end up with non-negative reference stream time.

When advancing fragment in live, it's normal to return
GST_FLOW_EOS when playing at the live edge of the available
fragments. In that case, we still want to adjust bitrate
dynamically.
Fixes issue with dashdemux2 where the current bitrate of
each adaptation set is changed to the lowest one when
updating the mpd for a live stream.

Just like for the seconds field, there are no limitations on the hours and
minutes fields. The specification for xml schema duration fields doesn't forbid

When updating a manifest during live playback, preserve the current
representation for each stream.
During update_fragment_info, if the current representation changed
because it couldn't be matched, trigger a caps change and new
header download.
This reverts commit e0e1db212f
and reapplies "dashdemux: Fix issue when manifest update sets slow start
without passing necessary header & caps changes downstream" with
changes.

libsoup 3.0.x dispatches using a single source attached when the session
is created, so we need to create the session with the same context that
our download thread is later using.
2.74 or 3.1 will dispatch a response using the context which sent the
request. However, for any context other than the one that created the
session, this will also create and destroy sources, so there's still
some slight performance benefit.

Handle select-streams and seek events in an element
level send_event() vfunc, so they can be received
before any source pads are created.
This allows preferred streams to be selected before
segment downloading starts.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2912>
When playing live, it's possible that one stream reaches
the end of the available playback window and goes to sleep
waiting for a manifest update, and the manifest update
introduces a new period. In that case, the sleeping
stream needs to wake up and go 'properly' EOS before we
can advance the input to the new period.
Accordingly, make sure that a stream's last_ret value
is not marked as EOS if it's just sleeping waiting for a live
manifest update.
Also fix the output loop to go back and re-check if it's
time to switch to the next period after dequeuing and
discarding an EOS event.

Media playlist updates and fragment downloads happen in an interleaved
fashion. When a media playlist update fails *while* a segment is being
downloaded, this means we lost synchronization.
Properly propagate and handle this
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
There is now only a single case where we setup the initial playlist to 0, which
is for the very first variant stream.
Rendition streams will have the initial playlist "synchronized" against the
variant stream media playlist.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
Loss of synchronization happens when the updated media playlist has no
relationship to the previous ones. This could happen because of network issues,
server issues, etc...
When this happens, we take no chance and "reset" ourselves so that we can "seek
back to live" against the new updated playlists.
Since this happens at the "media playlist update" level, make sure the custom
flow return is propagated up.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
We are already in the main scheduler thread, therefore we can do the "seek back
to live" directly. This also avoids other pending actions to take place.
Also handle the loss of sync when doing manifest updates.

Close some race conditions in switching to the next period,
by ensuring the tracks are completely drained first and by
not outputting EOS events to the output source pad
if there is another period pending.
Fixes Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd some more.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2838>
Before sending EOS, update the period's has_next_period
flag and/or create the next period. This closes a race
where the output loop might receive the EOS event
and either push it downstream (causing premature EOS),
or receive it and try and switch to the next period
before that period is completely set up.

When combining stream flows, ignore streams that
are not selected, instead of checking whether
the stream state has changed yet.
Fixes another issue with dashdemux2 where it fails to
change to the next period when playing content with
several video, audio and text streams, as with
Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd when seeking to 730
just before the end of the first period.

* When dealing with rendition streams, we attempt to synchronize the media
playlist against the variant stream. This helps with speeding up the correct
initial fragment search and avoids issues when streams at activated at a much
later time.
* Also add checks for variant stream existence before attempting to use them

When updating playlists, there is a possibility that the playlists don't
perfectly align, but the last entry of the previous playlist is *just* before
the first entry of the new playlist.
In those cases, we still can transfer the timing information from one playlist
to another, but we do not want to return that segment as being the matching one.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
When matching playlists, there is a possibility that rendition streams will not
have been updated in time (for example because that stream started later, or
playback was paused). This would cause several playback failures and seeking
failures.
In order to still fall back on our feet, attempt to synchronize that rendition
playlist against the current variant playlist. This will attempt to match the
stream time using SN/DNS/PDT/...

If we have been updating too slowly and have gone out of the current live

* Since only flushing seeks are allowed, the "current" position is always the
global output position (and not "some" stream current position).
* In terms of figuring out to which stream to "snap" to, we can send it to any
selected stream. Removes the requirement of this function to a specific output
pad.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
Remove the "pending advance" hack and instead rely on the base stream current
position to track our position (instead of a potentially NULL "current
segment").
Also ensure the media playlists are always refreshed with valid stream time,
even if there is no current segment.

The stream start and current position would be properly set when seeking or
activating a stream after playback started. But it would never be properly
initialized.
Set it to NONE initially to indicate to subclasses that no position has been
tracked yet. This will allow them to detect initial stream usage.
Futhermore, once the initial streams setup is done, make sure that it is set to
a valid initial value:
* The minimum stream time in live
* Or else the period start
