Create an output stream for each media when alternate renditions
are present. Update the manifests for all those streams, and
make sure that typefinding is still done for files smaller than 2KB
such as small WebVTT files.
Make M3U8 and GstM3U8MediaFile refcounted. The contents
of it and GstM3U8MediaFile are pretty much immutable
already, but if we make it refcounted we can just
return a ref to the media file from _get_next_fragment()
instead of copying over all fields one-by-one, and then
copying them all into the adaptive stream structure fields again.
Move state from client into m3u8 structure. This will
be useful later when we'll have multiple media playlists
being streamed at the same time, as will be the case with
alternative renditions.
This has the downside that we need to copy over some
state when we switch between variant streams.
The GstM3U8Client structure is gone, and main/current
lists are not directly in hlsdemux. hlsdemux had as
many CLIENT_LOCK/UNLOCK as the m3u8 code anyway...
Add demuxer instance-wide decryption key cache. The current and
last key url are per-stream, so make a shared cache. Move the
decryption handling into the stream object, and use the shared
cache for the keys.
Prepare hlsdemux for more than one single stream. Currently hlsdemux
assumes there'll only ever be one stream and most of the stream-specific
state is actually in the hlsdemux structure. Add a stream subclass
instead and move some stream-specific members there instead.
Move the property from subclasses to adaptivedemux, it allows
selecing the percentage of the measured bitrate to be used when
selecting stream bitrates
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
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.
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.

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.

hlsdemux can't rely on the source to push flushes on a seek on ready
as that might not make sense. So always resort to flushing the
internal proxy pads by pushing flush events from the source's src pad.
Also as the seeking is not required anymore, only seek if there is
really a byte range to be used. And store a ref to the source's
src pad to avoid doing get_static_pad for every fragment.
Set up a message handling function to catch errors from the internal
source and store the last return code to identify error situations
when returning from a fragment download.
Also moves the duration increase to after the download when we
know if it was successful or not
When using the internal source, hlsdemux doesn't know the caps of
the input before adding the pad, so remove the arguments that would
use that as it is always NULL.
And use an specific flag to signal when a pad switch is required.
Using the discont flag is a bad idea now because when a fragment
download fails it will lead to exposing a pad group without any
data, causing decodebin to abort.
When receving EOS from the internal src, increase the current positon
by the fragment duration to allow correct restoring of download position
if the bitrate changes
Measure the download bitrate to be able to select
the best playlist.
As the buffers are directly pushed downstream and it
might block. The time is only measured from the download
until the pad push and it is started again after the push
returns.
Now the decryption is done buffer by buffer instead of on the
whole fragment at once. As it expects multiples of 16 bytes a
GstAdapter was added to properly chunk the buffers.
Also the last buffer must be resized depending on the value of the
last byte of the fragment, so hlsdemux always keeps a pending buffer
as it doesn't know if it is the last one yet
The GstElement is directly linked into a ghost pad and
its buffers are pushed as received downstream. This way the
buffers are small enough and not a whole fragment that usually
causes extra latency and makes buffering harder
We now download fragments as fast as possible and push them downstream
while another thread is just responsible for updating live playlists
every now and then.
This simplifies the code a lot and together with the new buffering
mode for adaptive streams in multiqueue makes streams start much faster.
Also simplify threading a bit and hopefully make the GstTask usage safer.
