Dashdemux has set the width and height information from MPD manifest.
Some embedded devices which are not insufficient H/W resources need more information such as framerate
to assign H/W resources. So I suggested that dashdemux also needs to set the framerate information from MDP manifest.

The stream->cur_seg_template is set to the lowest available segment
template (representation or adaptation or period, in this order).
Because the template elements are inherited, the lowest template will
have all the elements the parents had, so there is no need to check the
parent for an element that is not found in the child (eg initialisation
or index).

The standard does not seem to make any particular explicit not
implicit reference to the signedness of durations, and the code
does not rely on such, nor on the negativity of the -1 value
that's used as a placeholder when a duration property is not
present in the XML.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750847
According to the standard:
"SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate and SegmentList shall inherit
attributes and elements from the same element on a higher level.
If the same attribute or element is present on both levels,
the one on the lower level shall take precedence over the one
on the higher level."
gst_mpdparser_parse_segment_list_node will now discard any inherited
segment URLs if the parsed element defines some too.

If MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay is not present in the manifest,
dashdemux selects the fragment closest to the most recently generated
fragment. This causes a playback issue because this choice does not allow
the DASH client to build up any buffer of downloaded fragments without
pausing playback. This is because by definition new fragments appear on
the server in real-time (e.g. if segment duration is 4 seconds, a new
fragment will appear on the server every 4 seconds). If the starting
playback position was n*segmentDuration seconds behind "now", the DASH
client could download up to 'n' fragments faster than realtime before it
reached the point where it needed to wait for fragments to appear on the
server.
The MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute allows a content publisher
to provide a suggested starting position that is behind the current
"live" position.
If the MPD@suggestedPresentationDelay attribute is not present, provide
a suitable default value as a property of the dashdemux element. To
allow the default presentation delay to be specified either using
fragments or seconds, the property is a string that contains a number
and a unit (e.g. "10 seconds", "4 fragments", "2500ms").
Corrected the parsing of a segment template string.
Added unit tests to test the segment template parsing.
All reported problems are now correctly handled.

When building the media segment list using a SegmentList node, the

The same has to be done for AdaptationSet and SegmentList nodes still.
Also this does not correctly implement the semantics: by default Period (and

This reverts commit 626a8f0a74.
This allows us to get the plain presentation offset and the period start time

This reverts commit e671ad25a9.
The timestamps should restart at 0 again for each period, but we have to

In dash isombff profile the fragment is split into subframents where
bitrate switching is possible. Also take that into consideration
when checking if a stream has next fragments.
This GstStreamPeriod start value is expressed in nanoseconds,
and the glib time addition function expects microseconds.
There seems to have been a confusion with GstPeriodNode's start
field, which is expressed in milliseconds.
Additionally, add a warning if the timestamp modification did
not succeed, and NULL was returned.
Fix some very dubious code. The class methods should always
be set, and the instance-specific check should then be done
inside the method. For data_received that's there already, for
finish_fragment we need to add it.

When running on an STB, the function

The urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-head:2014 method of time synchronisation
uses an HTTP HEAD request to a specified URL and then parses the

This commit adds support to dashdemux for this method of time

response.
This commit adds support to gstfragment to return the HTTP headers
and to uridownloader to support HEAD requests. To avoid creating a

Unless the DASH client can compensate for the difference between its
clock and the clock used by the server, the client might request
fragments that either not yet on the server or fragments that have
already been expired from the server. This is an issue because these
requests can propagate all the way back to the origin
ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014/Amd 1 [PDAM1] defines a new UTCTiming element to allow
a DASH client to track the clock used by the server generating the
DASH stream. Multiple UTCTiming elements might be present, to indicate
support for multiple methods of UTC time gathering. Each element can
contain a white space separated list of URLs that can be contacted
to discover the UTC time from the server's perspective.
This commit provides parsing of UTCTiming elements, unit tests of this
parsing and a function to poll a time server. This function
supports the following methods:
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:ntp:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-ntp:2014
The manifest update task is used to poll the clock time server,
to save having to create a new thread.
When choosing the starting fragment number and when waiting for a
fragment to become available, the difference between the server's idea
of UTC and the client's idea of UTC is taken into account. For example,
if the server's time is behind the client's idea of UTC, we wait for
longer before requesting a fragment

If a ContentProtection element is present in an AdaptationSet element,
send Protection events on the source pad, so that qtdemux can use this

encrypted streams.
This allows qtdemux to support CENC encrypted DASH streams where the
content protection specific information is carried in the MPD file
rather than in pssh boxes in the initialisation segments.
This commit adds a new function to the adaptivedemux base class to allow
a GstEvent to be queued for a stream. The queue of events are sent the

Before returning the next fragment duration value, the
gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment_duration function tries to validate it.
But the condition was incorrect.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751539
We're interested in the offset between the period start timestamp and the
actual media timestamp so that we can properly correct for it. The absolute
presentation offset to timestamp 0 is useless as the only thing we really
care about is the offset between the current fragment timestamp and the
media timestamp.
Otherwise we will look for segments after the period usually. The seek
timestamp is relative to the start of the first period and we have to
select a segment relative to the current period's start.
We didn't do this for fragments that are generated on demand from a template,
only for the other cases when they were all generated upfront. This caused
fragment timestamps to start from 0 again for each new period.
If not set, the timeShiftBufferDepth has a default value of -1.
The standard says that this should be interpreted as infinite.
The gst_mpd_client_check_time_position function incorrectly compares

The last parameter of gst_mpd_client_add_media_segment function is a

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751449
The period start information, calculated in gst_mpd_client_setup_media_presentation
function is stored in stream_period->start. The information read from
xml file and stored in stream_period->period->start is not changed.
If the xml file does not contain the period start information,
stream_period->period->start will be -1.
The function gst_mpd_client_get_next_segment_availability_end_time wants to
use period start time, but incorrectly uses stream_period->period->start
(value from xml file, which could be -1) instead of stream_period->start
(computed value)

According to ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014(E), chapter 5.3.2.1
"The Period extends until the PeriodStart of the next Period, or until

This means that a configured value for optional attribute period duration
should be ignored if the next period contains a start attribute or it is
the last period and the MPD contains a mediaPresentationDuration attribute.

If the presentationTimeOffset attribute of a DASH manifest contains

2: gst_mpd_client_setup_representation multiplying the value by

This reverts commit 37011e5198.
This change was actually completely unnecessary, the streams in question are
marked as static and are not considered live anyway.
Otherwise we'll only get half of its bits printed on 32 bit architectures.
For this, promote the %d-style format strings to something that accepts
64 bit integers with G_GINT64_MODIFIER.
Using format strings from an untrusted source without validation is
calling for problems, and at least allows to remotely crash your application.
If not worse.
The functions to get the next fragment, next fragment timestamp and to advance
to the next fragment need to work differently when stream->segments is NULL.
Use logic similar to that introduced by commit 2105a310 to perform these
functions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749684
When all fragments have already been downloaded on a live stream
dashdemux would busy loop as the default implementation of
has_next_fragment would return TRUE. Implement it to correctly
signal if adaptivedemux should wait for the manifest update before
trying to get new fragments.
When updating the manifest the timestamps on it might have changed a little
due to rounding and timescale conversions. If the change makes the timestamp
of the current segment to go up it makes dashdemux reposition to the previous
one causing one extra unnecessary download.
So when repositioning add an extra 10 microseconds to cover for that rounding
issues and increase the chance of falling in the same segment.
Additionally, also improve the time used when the client is already after the
last segment. Instead of using the last segment starting timestamp use the
final timestamp to make it reposition to the next one and not to the one that
has already been downloaded.
These functions of directly getting and setting segment indexes
are no longer useful as now we need 2 indexes: repeat and segment
index.
The only operations needed are advance_segment, going back to the
first one or seeking for a timestamp.
Segments are now stored with their repeat counts instead of spanding
them to multiple segments. This caused advancing to the next segment
using a single index to have to iterate over the whole list every time.
This commit addresses this by storing both the segment index as well
as the repeat index and makes advancing to next segment just an
increment of the repeat or the segment index.
Use a single segment to represent it internally to avoid using too
much memory. This has the drawback of issuing a linear search to
find the correct segment to play but this can be fixed by using
binary searches or caching the current position and just looking
for the next one.

Bitrate-limit is already available in the baseclass and, even though
the bandwidth-usage name is better, hls and mss already used
bitrate-limit. This patch deprecates the bandwidth-usage and maps
it to the baseclass bitrate-limite.
By implementing get_live_seek_range.
As shown by :

This patch handles live seeking, by setting a live seek range
comprised between now - timeShiftBufferDepth and now.
The inteersting thing with this stream is that one can actually
ask fragments up to availabilityStartTime, but it seems quite clear
in the spec that content is only guaranteed to exist up to
timeShiftBufferDepth.
One can test live seeking this way :
gst-validate-1.0 playbin \
uri=http://dev-iplatforms.kw.bbc.co.uk/dash/news24-avc3/news24.php \
--set-scenario seek_back.scenario
with scenario being:
description, seek=true
seek, playback-time=position+5.0, start="position-600.0",
flags=accurate+flush
This example will play the stream, wait for five seconds, then seek back
to a position 10 minutes earlier.

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 segment start time is calculated as the offset into the current segment.
The old condition to detect the end of period (i.e. segment start time >
period start + period duration) failed when the period start was not 0 since
the segment start time does not take the period start time into account.
Fix this detection by only comparing the segment start to the period duration.

The ISOBMFF profile allows definind subsegments in a segment. At those
subsegment boundaries the client can switch from one representation to
another as they have aligned indexes.
To handle those the 'sidx' index is parsed from the stream and the
entries point to pts/offset of the samples in the stream. Knowing that
the entries are aligned in the different representation allows the client
to switch mid fragment. In this profile a single fragment is used per
representation and the subsegments are contained in this fragment.
To notify the superclass about the subsegment boundary the chunk_received
function returns a special flow return that indicates that. In this case,
the super class will check if a more suitable bitrate is available and will
change to the same subsegment in this new representation.
It also requires special handling of the position in the stream as the
fragment advancing is now done by incrementing the index of the subsegment.
It will only advance to the next fragment once all subsegments have been
downloaded.
