upstream might send buffer lists instead of buffers and hlssink's
probe won't get called and a new segment won't be created when needed.
This patch fixes it by adding a chain_list function to the sink pad
that will just pass through the whole bufferlist if no segment needs
to be requested at the moment or convert the list into buffers to
check the proper timestamp to request the next key-unit that will
start the segment.

Move the property from subclasses to adaptivedemux, it allows
selecing the percentage of the measured bitrate to be used when
selecting stream bitrates
Allow the playlist-length to accept '0' as a value, indicating
that no segment should be removed from the playlist. This allows
generating playlists to be used as VOD when complete.
Allows to set a bitrate directly instead of measuring it internally
based on the received chunks. The connection-speed was removed from
mssdemux and hlsdemux as it is now in the base class
Add more power to the chunk_received function (renamed to data_received)
and also to the fragment_finish function.
The data_received function must parse/decrypt the data if necessary and
also push it using the new push_buffer function that is exposed now. The
default implementation gets data from the stream adapter (all available)
and pushes it.
The fragment_finish function must also advance the fragment. The default
implementation only advances the fragment.
This allows the subsegment handling in dashdemux to continuously download
the same file from the server instead of stopping at every subsegment
boundary and starting a new request
Optimize loop by moving condition outside of it and reuse the
find_next_fragment function to check if there is next instead of
replicating the same loop
Duration queries can be done a few times per second and would cause
the segment list to be traversed for every one. Caching the duration
prevents that.
The duration values in playlists are approximate only, and for
playlist versions 2 and older they are only rounded integer values.
They cannot be used to timestamp buffers. This resulted in playback
gaps and skips because the actual duration of fragments is slightly
different. The solution is to only set the pts of the very first
buffer processed, not for each fragment.
hlsdemux assumes that seeking is not allowed for live streams,
however seek is possible if there are sufficient fragments in the
manifest. For example the BBC have live streams that contain 2 hours
of fragments.
The seek code for both live and on-demand is common code. The
difference between them is that an offset has to be calculated
for the timecode of the first fragment in the live playlist.
When hlsdemux starts to play a live stream, the possible seek range
is between 0 and A seconds. After some time has passed, the beginning of
the stream will no longer be available in the playlist and the seek
range is between B and C seconds.
Seek range:
start 0 ........... A
later B ........... C
This commit adds code to keep a note of the B and C values
and the highest sequence number it has seen. Every time it updates the
media playlist, it walks the list of fragments, seeing if there is a
fragment with sequence number > highest_seen_sequence. If so, the values
of B and C are updated. The value of B is used when timestamping
buffers.
It also makes sure the seek range is never closer than three fragments
from the end of the playlist - see 6.3.3. "Playing the Playlist file"
of the HLS draft.

For small amounts some data might be mistyped and it would cause
the pipeline to fail. For example if you have AAC inside mpegts,
for small amounts, the AAC samples would cause the typefinder to
think it is AAC and not mpegts.

If typefind fails, check to see if the buffer is too short for typefind. If this is the case,
prepend the decrypted buffer to the pending buffer and try again the next time around.

According to the HLS spec the remainder of the line following
the comma on EXTINF tag is not required. This patch removes
the fake title and saves some bytes on the playlist.

In gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment() the next fragment URI gets
stored in next_fragment_uri, but the gst_hls_demux_updates_loop()
can at any time update the playlist, rendering this string invalid.
Therefore, any data (like key, iv, URIs) that is taken from a
GstM3U8Client needs to be copied. In addition, accessing the
internals of a GstM3U8Client requires locking.

If EOS or ERROR happens before the download loop thread has reached its
g_cond_wait() call, then the g_cond_signal doesn't have any effect and
the download loop thread stucks later.

The internal pad still keeps its EOS flag and event as it can be assigned
after the flush-start/stop pair is sent. The EOS is assigned from the streaming
thread so this is racy.
To be sure to clear it, it has to be done after setting the source to READY to
be sure that its streaming thread isn't running.

Previously we only refetched the playlist if downloading a fragment
has failed once. We should also do that if it failed a second or third time,
chances are that the playlist was updated now and contains new URIs.
Instead always use the low bandwith playlist making things go smoother
as the current heuristic is rather set for normal playback, and
currently it does not behave properly.

Only reset the decryption engine on the first buffer of a fragment,
not again for the second buffer. This fixes corrupting the second
buffer of a fragment.
