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.

There is a playback error when trying to play a content that
has 'application' mimeType. This commit prevents an exception from
setup text streams.

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 :
gst-validate-1.0 playbin \
uri=http://dev-iplatforms.kw.bbc.co.uk/dash/news24-avc3/news24.php
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 same file from the server instead of stopping at every subsegment
boundary and starting a new request

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.

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.
