Remove the dashdemux seeking function to use the one implemented
in mpdparser as it is more complete. This also makes dashdemux not
crash when seeking on streams that use segment templates.
1275 is the maximum size of a frame, but the encoder may return
up to 3 frames, and we need a few extra bytes for TOC, etc. We
use 4000, which is a bit more, and suggested in the libopus docs.
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full.
Use a single lock for all streams instead of having separate locks.
This makes maintenance easier and at most points we would need
a single lock before iterating on all streams data. So not much
is gained from individual locks.
Make dash playlists with multiple periods work again by waiting
to switch the periods when all streams have reached the end of
the current period. The stream_loop is responsible for advancing
the period, but the download loops will already start downloading
data for the next period as soon as possible.
Handle multiple languages by using the not-linked return to stop
the download task for that stream. It can be reactivated when
a reconfigure event is received. Stopping the unused streams is
relevant to save network bandwidth
Instead of having a single download task for all streams, this
commit makes each stream have its own download loop, allowing
parallel download of fragments.
always expose all streams instead of only exposing one of each type.
This is more aligned with gstreamer's way of working. Allows the user
to select the stream that it wants to use by linking its pad and leaving
the unused ones as unlinked.
As streams now flow independently, the GstSegment needs to be put
on each stream so they can track the position of each one correctly
instead of being mixed in a single segment
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full
When a stream gets a not-linked return, it will be marked as so and
won't download any more new fragments until a reconfigure event
is received. This will make mssdemux expose all pads, but only download
fragments for the streams that are actually being used.
Relying on the pads being linked/unlinked isn't enough in this scenario
as there might be an input-selector downstream that is actually discarding
buffers for a given linked pad.
When streams are switching, the old active stream can be blocked because
input-selector will block not-linked streams. In case the mssdemux's
stream loop is blocked pushing a buffer to a full queue downstream it will
never unblock as the queue will not drain (input-selector is blocking).
In this scenario, stream switching will deadlock as input-selector is
waiting for the newly active stream data and the stream_loop that would
push this data is blocked waiting for input-selector.
To solve this issue, whenever an stream is reactivated on a reconfigure
it will enter into the 'catch up mode', in this mode it can push buffers
from its download thread until it reaches the currrent GstSegment's position.
This works because this timestamp will always be behind or equal to the maximum
timestamp pushed for all streams, after pushing data for this timestamp,
the stream will go back to default and be pushed sequentially from the main
streaming thread. By this time, the input-selector should have already
released the thread.
