Due to us not properly acknowleding the time when the last RTX was sent
when scheduling a new one, it can easily happen that due to the packet
you are requesting have a PTS that is slightly old (but not too old when
adding the latency of the jitterbuffer), both its calculated second and
third (etc.) timeout could already have passed. This would lead to a burst
of RTX requests, which acts completely against its purpose, potentially
spending a lot more bandwidth than needed.
This has been properly reproduced in the test:
test_rtx_not_bursting_requests
The good news is that slightly re-thinking the logic concerning
re-requesting RTX, made it a lot simpler to understand, and allows us
to remove two members of the RtpTimer which no longer serves any purpose
due to the refactoring. If desirable the whole "delay" concept can actually
be removed completely from the timers, and simply just added to the timeout
by the caller of the API. But that can be a change for a another time.
The only external change (other than the improved behavior around bursting
RTX) is that the "delay" field now stricly represents the delay between
the PTS of the RTX-requested packet and the time it is requested on,
whereas before this calculation was more about the theoretical calculated
delay. This is visible in three other RTX-tests where the delay had
to be adjusted slightly. I am confident however that this change is
correct.

This action signal will delegate to clear-ssrc onto the rtpssrcdemux element

inside qtmux (e.g missing codec_data).
- the caps event has already been marked as received and is sticky on

- 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!

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.

The code seems to use `continue` and `break` as if both refer to the
surrounding `while` loop. But because `break` breaks out of the
`switch`, they actually have the same effect.
This may have caused the loop not to terminate when it should. E.g. when
`skip_backwards_streams` drops a buffer we should abort the aggregation
and wait for all pads to be filled again. Instead, we might have just
selected a subsequent pad as our new "best".
Replace `break` with `done = TRUE; break`, and `continue` with `break`.
Then simplify the code a bit.

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

Previously imagefreeze would always operate as non-live element and
output frames as fast as possible according to the configured segment
(via SEEK events) and the negotiated framerate from start to stop or the
other way around.
With the new live mode (enabled via the is-live property) it would only
output frames in PLAYING. Frames would be output according to the
negotiated framerate unless it would be too late, in which case it would
jump ahead and skip over the requirement amount of frames.
This makes it possible to actually use imagefreeze in live pipelines
without having to manually ensure somehow that it would start outputting
at the current running time and without still risking to fall behind
without recovery.

Until now, do_expected_timeout() was shortly dropping the JBUF_LOCK in order
to push RTX event event without causing deadlock. As a side effect, some
CPU hung would happen as the timerqueue would get filled while looping over
the due timers. To mitigate this, we were processing the lost timer first and
placing into a queue the remainign to be processed later.
In the gap caused by an unlock, we could endup receiving one of the seqnum
present in the pending timers. In that case, the timer would not be found and
a new one was created. When we then update the expected timer, the seqnum
would already exist and the updated timer would be lost.
In this patch we remove the unlock from do_expected_timeout() and place all
pending RTX event into a queue (instead of pending timer). Then, as soon as
we have selected a timer to wait (or if there is no timer to wait for) we send
all the upstream RTX events. As we no longer unlock, we no longer need to pop
more then one timer from the queue, and we do so with the lock held, which
blocks any new colliding timers from being created.

buffer because of an error as otherwise we could end up in a

Also only reset the state of imagefreeze in flush-stop when all
processing is stopped instead of doing it as part of flush-start.
And last, get a reference to the imagefreeze buffer in the loop function

As we override the GLib item with our own structure, we cannot use any
function from GList or GQueue that would try to free the RTPJitterBufferItem.
In this patch, we move away from g_queue_new() which forces using
g_queue_free(). This this function could use g_slice_free() if there is any items
left in the queue. Passing the wrong size to GSLice may cause data corruption
and crash.
A better approach would be to use a proper intrusive linked list
implementation but that's left as an exercise for the next person
running into crashes caused by this.

The calculated threshold for timecode might be varying depending on
"max-size-timecode" and framerate.
For instance, with framerate 29.97 (30000/1001) and
"max-size-timecode=00:02:00;02", every fragment will have identical
number of frames 3598. However, when "max-size-timecode=00:02:00;00",
calculated next keyframe via gst_video_time_code_add_interval()
can be different per fragment, but this is the nature of timecode.
To compensate such timecode drift, we should keep track of expected
timecode of next fragment based on observed timecode.
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.
If the start of the GOP is >= the requested running time, put it into a
new fragment. That is, split-at-running-time would always ensure that a
split happens as early as possible after the given running time.
Previously it was comparing against the current incoming timestamp,
which does not tell us what we actually want to know as it has no direct
relation to the GOP start/end.
This is disabled by default as it unnecessarily creates bigger headers
but it is something that is required by some applications and most
notably the Apple ProRes spec.
Request pads can released at any time, so make sure to hold
the object lock when iterating the element sinkpads list where

stays alive for output in the aggregator srcpad task.

Even if timecode trak is officially unsupported in non-mov flavors,
some software still supports it, e.g. Final Cut Pro X:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2174/_index.html
The user might still expect to see the timecode information in the
non-mov file despite it being officially unsupported , because other
software e.g. QuickTime will create a timecode trak even in mp4 files.
Furthermore, software that supports timecode trak in non-mov flavors
will also display the file duration in "timecode units" instead of real
clock time, which is not necessarily the same for 29.97 fps and friends.
This might confuse users, who see a different duration for the same
framerate and amount of frames depending on whether the container is mp4
or mov.

When switching the splitmuxsrc state back to NULL quickly, it
can encounter deadlocks shutting down the part readers that
are still starting up, or encounter a crash if the splitmuxsrc
cleaned up the parts before the async callback could run.
Taking the state lock to post async-start / async-done messages can
deadlock if the state change function is trying to shut down the
element, so use some finer grained locks for that.
The queued time includes the duration of the last queued frame
(i.e., new keyframe) so the condition check should not be inclusive.
Note that the new fragment will be cut excluding the last frame
and therefore if the condition is inclusive way,
the fragment might have one frame shorter duration for all keyframe
stream such as jpeg or all-inter video streams.
Since the commit 94bb76b6b9, splitmuxsink
will split fragments based on queued time and the threshold of that.
So don't need to store the next timecode for split decision.
Not only the requested keyframe time, the queued size should be
a criterion for the split decision of timecode based mode
(same as max-size-time based split case).
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.
This should result in no worse accuracy than the base parse element, and may
result in better accuracy. In particular, the number of bytes processed at any
given point, as accumulated by baseparse, can be only accurate to
(1 / # of frames) bytes per second, and if we try to seek immediately after
pausing the pipeline to a large offset, this small inaccuracy can propagate to
something noticeable.
The use case that prompted this patch is a 45-minute MPEG-1 layer 3 file, which
has a constant bit rate but no seek tables. Trying to seek the pipeline
immediately after pauisng it, without the ACCURATE flag, to a location 41
minutes in, yields a location that is, even with <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/merge_requests/374>,
still audibly incorrect. This patch yields a much closer position, no longer
audibly incorrect, and likely within a frame of the most correct position.
By the time sink_event is called, the pad's current caps have
already been updated. To address this, implement sink_event_pre_queue,

When calling gst_rtp_jitter_buffer_reset you pass in a seqnum.
This is considered the starting-point for a new stream.
However, the old behavior would unref this buffer, basically lying to
the thread that is pushing out buffers saying that it can expect
this buffer, when it would never arrive. The resulting effect being no
more buffer pushed out of the jitterbuffer, and it would buffer
incoming data indefinitely.
By instead inserting the buffer in the gap_packets queue, the _reset()
function will take responsibility for using that as the first buffer
of the new stream.

In order to concatenate fragments, splitmuxsrc offsets
the start of each fragment PTS to 0 to align it with the

Each FLAC metadata block starts with a flag denoting whether it is the
last metadata block. The existing flacparse code moves any existing
VORBISCOMMENT block to immediately follow the STREAMINFO block without
changing any block's last-metadata-block flag. If no VORBISCOMMENT block
exists, it created one with the last-metadata-block flag set to true.
This results in gstflacdec sometimes giving bad headers to libflac when
trying to play perfectly valid FLAC files depending on the file's
metadata ordering. Depending on the contents of the other metadata
blocks, current versions of libflac may or may not return
FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_ERROR_STATUS_BAD_HEADER when given this broken
metadata. This is most noticeable with files that have a large cover art
image attached where VORBISCOMMENT is the very last metadata block with
no PADDING afterwards.
This patch changes that behavior so that:
1. For FLAC files that already have a VORBISCOMMENT block, the metadata
order is preserved.
2. For FLAC files that do not have a VORBISCOMMENT block, the generated
dummy VORBISCOMMENT is placed immediately after STREAMINFO and
inherits the last-metadata-block flag from STREAMINFO.

Previously we saved the buffer_timestamp straight into
mux->cluster_time. Since the cluster time saved into the file does not
have as high precision as GstClockTime depending on the timecodescale
the rounding of relative_timestamp was invalid as mux->cluster_time
which it was calculated relative to was not equal to the cluster time
written to the matroska file.
Example of "mkvinfo -v" of how it looks before and after this change in
an scenario where previously timestamps got out of order because of this
issue.
Notice the timestamp of the SimpleBlock right before and right after the
Cluster now being in order. The consequence of this however is that the
cluster timestamp is not necessarily the same as the timestamp of the
first buffer in the cluster however (in case it's rounded up).

Comparing gst_rtspsrc_loop_interleaved and gst_rtspsrc_loop_udp, and investigating on timeout issues, it sounds like a piece of code has been originally copied from udp to the interleaved one. The timeout variable is never used inside the interleaved one. No side effect has been seen in the removed function calls.
The debug message removed is pointless as the timeout used is "src->tcp_timeout" that is fixed.
The presence of the two timeout drove my team in investigating if the reference to the tcp_timeout was correct (it is). Hence we removed the misleading reference to the local timeout variable.
