As streams now flow independently, the GstSegment needs to be put
on each stream so they can track the position of each one correctly
instead of being mixed in a single segment
Download and push from the same task, makes code a lot simpler
to maintain. Also pushing from separate threads avoids deadlocking
when gst_pad_push blocks due to downstream queues being full
When a stream gets a not-linked return, it will be marked as so and
won't download any more new fragments until a reconfigure event
is received. This will make mssdemux expose all pads, but only download
fragments for the streams that are actually being used.
Relying on the pads being linked/unlinked isn't enough in this scenario
as there might be an input-selector downstream that is actually discarding
buffers for a given linked pad.
When streams are switching, the old active stream can be blocked because
input-selector will block not-linked streams. In case the mssdemux's
stream loop is blocked pushing a buffer to a full queue downstream it will
never unblock as the queue will not drain (input-selector is blocking).
In this scenario, stream switching will deadlock as input-selector is
waiting for the newly active stream data and the stream_loop that would
push this data is blocked waiting for input-selector.
To solve this issue, whenever an stream is reactivated on a reconfigure
it will enter into the 'catch up mode', in this mode it can push buffers
from its download thread until it reaches the currrent GstSegment's position.
This works because this timestamp will always be behind or equal to the maximum
timestamp pushed for all streams, after pushing data for this timestamp,
the stream will go back to default and be pushed sequentially from the main
streaming thread. By this time, the input-selector should have already
released the thread.

This patch fixes three memory leaks in hlsdemux, one that occurs
during normal operation and two that occur during error conditions.
The gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment function calls
gst_fragment_get_buffer which increments the reference count
on the buffer but gst_hls_demux_get_next_fragment never calls unref on
the buffer. This means that the reference count for each downloaded
fragment never gets to zero and so its memory is never released.
This patch adds a call to gst_buffer_unref after the flags have been
updated on the buffer.
There is a leak-on-error in gst_hls_demux_decrypt_fragment if it fails
to download the key file. If the key fails to download, null is
returned without doing an unref on the encrypted fragment. The
semantics of gst_hls_demux_decrypt_fragment is that it takes ownership
of the encrypted fragment and releases it before returning.
There is a leak-on-error in gst_hls_src_buf_to_utf8_playlist in the
unlikely event that the gst_buffer_map fails. In the "happy path"
operation of gst_hls_src_buf_to_utf8_playlist the buffer gets an unref
before the function returns, therefore the error condition must do the
same.

Fixed up the error-handling code when downloading fragments.
Modifed the error-handling code to use positive logic when

There is an issue for live streams where download_loop will keep
downloading segments until it gets a 404 error for a segment
that has not yet been published. This is a problem because this
request for a segment that doesn't exist will propagate all the
way back to the origin server(s). This means that dashdemux causes
extra load on the origin server(s) for segments that aren't yet
available.
This patch uses availabilityStartTime, period
and the host's idea of UTC to decide if a fragment is available to
be requested from an HTTP server and filter out requests for fragments
that are not yet available.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701404
On some live HLS streams, gst_hls_demux_switch_playlist causes
assertion failures because it tried to dereference a NULL fragment.
This is because g_queue_peek_tail sometimes was returning NULL and
this case was not being checked.
This patch does two things:
* move the g_queue_peek_tail inside the semaphore protection
* check if q_queue_peek_tail returns NULL

* Create DirectFB surfaces from GstBufferPool
* Add NV12 pixel format support
* Don't use the cursor in the exclusive mode
- EnableCusor() can be only used when the administrative mode is set

* Invoke SetConfiguration regardless of video mode setting in setcaps()
- SetConfiguration() method should be invoked regardless of
the result of gst_dfbvideosink_get_best_vmode(), since the two are
unrelated.
* Disable DirectFB signal handler
- "--dfb:no-sighandler" option is passed to DirectFBInit().
This prevents DirectFB from trying to kill the process and allows
GStreamer's termination sequence to proceed normally.

For SegmentTemplate elements containing a startNumber attribute, the
`number' member of GstMediaSegments should be offset by the value of
startNumber; however, this is not currently the case. As a result, the
first URI(s) requested by the download loop will be wrong.
This commit ensures that segment numbers will be offset by startNumber
when one is present in a SegmentTemplate element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705661
When using a SegmentTemplate element, the timestamps of the buffers
output by dashdemux are incorrect, causing problems downstream.
The reason is that GstMediaSegment start times are calculated (in
gst_mpdparser_get_chunk_by_index) by multiplying segment index by
segment duration and then scaling the result according the `timebase'
attribute from the MPD. However, the segment duration is already a
GstClockTime (i.e., it has already been scaled according to the timebase
from the MPD and converted to a nanosecond value), so multiplying it by
the segment index will give the correct timestamp without the need for
any further scaling.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705679
This prevents locking on startup when a stream only has a single buffer
for one of the streams and mssdemux decides to push an EOS event right
after it.
This prevents deadlocks on startup on files that have only a very
large buffer for a stream and the queue is filled and will lock on
the eos event that is pushed after the buffer. As no buffers have yet
been pushed to other streams, the pipeline locks on preroll
Every encrypted fragment will be a multiple of 128 bits, the last byte

When using an HLS encrypted stream, an assertion failure is thrown:
(gst-launch-1.0:31028): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register
existing type `GstFragment'
(gst-launch-1.0:31028): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion
`result != 0' failed
Eventually tracked this down to the call gst_fragment_new()
in function gst_hls_demux_decrypt_fragment.
The GstFragment class is defined in ext/hls/gstfragment.c and in
gst-libs/gst/uridownloader/gstfragment.c. Having two class definitions
with the same name causes the assert failure when trying to allocate
GstFragment. Deleting the version from hls and editing the
Makefile.am solves this assert failure.

During a live stream it is possible for dashdemux to lag behind on a
slow connection or to rush ahead of the connection os too fast.
For the first case it is necessary to jump some segments ahead to be able to
continue playback as old segments are usually deleted from the server.
For the later, dashdemux should wait a little before attempting another
download do give time to the server to produce a new segment
When using a template based segment list, do not try to
contruct a finite segment list for the limits of the available periods.
We might not know when the period ends (for live streams) and we can
always create the segment on demand when requested by dashdemux,
avoiding use of some memory and cpu when re-creating this list.
Replaces the 2 likely larger lists with more appropriate structures
to improve performance.
Replaces S nodes GList for a GQueue, this reduces latency to startup
because of traversing the list just append an element.
Replaces the processed media segments GList for a GPtrArray as it is
constantly acessed by index during playback.
Duration from segment being unknown is a issue from the MPD and not
a programming issue, so the assert isn't useful here. Instead check
and return an error code so the caller can fallback to alternatives
When dashdemux selects its first fragment, it always selects the
first fragment listed in the manifest. For on-demand content,
this is the correct behaviour. However for live content, this
behaviour is undesirable because the first fragment listed in the
manifest might be some considerable time behind "now".
The commit uses the host's idea of UTC and tries to find the
oldest fragment that contains samples for this time of day.

We only want to adjust the timestamps so that they start from 0 for live
streams. Non-live streams already start from 0 and after a seek we actually want
to timestamp to be the position we seek to.
Non-live streams should timestamp buffers with a running-time starting from
0. Since we already push a 0 -> -1 segment, bring the timestamps to 0
by subtracting the initial timestamp.
The xmlCleanupParser function seems to cleanup all statically
allocated libxml variables, making it unusable. We can't guarantee
that dashdemux won't need it anymore, so better not call it.
Manifest updates should be done periodically for live streams,
this patch makes the demuxer create a new manifest client for
the new version and transfers the stream position to the new
one, discarding the old one afterwards.
A small struct that keeps a short history of fragment download bitrates
to have an average measure of N last fragments instead of using only
the last downloaded bitrate
Do not use a global bitrate as the sizes of the fragments matter
when calculating the download rate as the connection setup time is
also being taken into the download duration, a smaller fragment
will have a lower bitrate than a larger one.
This avoids switching the bitrates for streams frequently because
of bitrate mismatches
Instead of downloading 1 fragment per stream per download loop,
select the stream with the earlier timestamp and get a fragment
only for that one.
The old algorithm would lead to problems when the fragment durations
were too different for streams.
dashdemux shouldn't emit the buffering message as that can pause
the pipeline. It has no proper knowledge of the downstream buffering
status so it can pause the pipeline when it isn't necessary. It should
have an internal buffer for downloading the streams ahead of playback,
but that shouldn't make it able to stop the pipeline for buffering.
A particular case in which this is bad is when a pad switch happens
(changing bitrates for example), the new pads dashdemux creates
will get linked to demuxers and new queues will be created,
these queues are initially empty and dashdemux will quickly
drain its buffers by pushing them to those queues. So it
would have no more buffers internally and would emit a
buffering message with a low ratio, causing the pipeline
to pause when it wouldn't be necessary.
Put EOS on the streams queues after the last fragment from the
last period for each stream. This way we keep it serialized
with the buffers and it will work when streams have different
ending times
The smallest queue should be used to prevent blocking the download
thread when a stream has too much data buffered, leaving the other
streams starving from fragments
Each stream has its own durations and timestamps, the fragment number
is different for each stream when seeking, so the seek has to be done
for all streams, rather than on a single stream and propagated to
others
GstDataQueue has proper locking and provides functions to limit the
size of the queue. Also has blocking calls that are useful to
our multithread scenario in Dash.
Store the buffers separately for each stream, this is clearer than
having a queue with a list of buffers. It also allows easier selection
of buffers to push in later refactors
Fragments should be pushed ASAP as downstream should be responsible for
doing the syncrhonization and proper buffering.
This has the great side effect of fixing most of the seeking A/V sync issues.
- the MPD file is updated in the download loop (only if we have a "dynamic" MPD and minimumUpdatePeriod is valid);
- properly LOCK/UNLOCK the GstMpdClient;

gst_mpd_client_get_target_duration has been removed, and
gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment_duration should be used instead.
This was necessary to support variable-duration Fragments.
in the new API:
- gst_mpd_client_get_current_position returns the timestamp of the NEXT fragment to download;
- gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment_duration returns the duration of the next fragment to download;
- gst_mpd_client_get_media_presentation_duration returns the mediaPresentationDuration from the MPD file;
also there is a new internal parser function:
- gst_mpd_client_get_segment_duration extracts the constant segment duration from the MPD file
(only used when there is no SegmentTimeline syntax element in the current representation)
In gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment, we set the timestamp/duration of the fragment just downloaded
copying the values from the corresponding GstMediaSegment.
TODO: rework SEEKING to support seeking across different Periods.
- Periods are played in sequence, from PeriodStart to PeriodEnd
- seamless switching from one Period to the next one works fine;
- the 'new-segment' generation is broken, so if we need to switch pads for a new Period there is a crash;
- build a list of the available Periods with their start and duration time
- add the list of GstStreamPeriod in the GstMpdClient data struct
- remove cur_period from GstMpdClient and introduce an API to get the current GstStreamPeriod
- several API clean-ups
build the list of segments to be played using the SegmentTimeline syntax, if present
bugfixes:
- for dynamic MPD files, when mediaPresentationDuration is not present use minimumUpdatePeriod instead
- do not add a spurious '$' when building an URL from a template like "$Bandwidth$/init.mp4v"
- introduce gst_mpd_client_add_media_segment() to avoid code duplication
other fixes:
- fixed a buffering bug: now we stop buffering when we reach the end of manifest
- now gst_mpd_client_get_target_duration() always returns a valid duration
(in case of single-segment streams, we return either Period duration or mediaPresentation duration)
