With MSVC, this gives the following warning:
warning C4305: 'function': truncation from 'double' to 'gfloat'
Apparently, MSVC does not figure out what type to use for constants
based on the assignment. This warning is very spammy, so let's try to
fix it.
And scale the bitrate with the absolute rate (if it's bigger than 1.0) to get
to the real bitrate due to faster playback.
This allowed in my tests to play a stream with 10x speed without buffering as
the lowest bitrate is chosen, instead of staying/selecting the highest bitrate
and then buffering all the time.
It was previously disabled for not very well specified reasons, which seem to
be not valid anymore nowadays.

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
We don't have to do yet another additional request but can just download the
data directly.
Also unify the key-unit only mode buffer pushing and extract it into its own
function now that it became more complicated.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741104
We need to mark every first buffer of a key unit as discont, and also every
first buffer of a moov and moof. This ensures that qtdemux takes note of our
buffer offsets for each of those buffers instead of keeping track of them
itself from the first buffer. We need offsets to be consistent between moof
and mdat

This reverts commit 947656cfd2.
This makes all dash seeking tests fail. Needs more testing to fully understand
what's going wrong. Revert ok'd by Sebastian
We don't need to call the latter at all as we're definitely in this period and
the segment is selected via the SIDX.
This is especially important when doing SNAP seeks, as otherwise we would
always start from the beginning of the period (usually 0) again.
The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range () function returns a stop value
that is beyond the available range. The functions
gst_mpd_client_check_time_position() and
gst_mpd_client_get_next_segment_availability_end_time() in
gstmpdparser.c include the segment duration when checking if a segment
is available. The gst_dash_demux_get_live_seek_range() function
in gstdashdemux.c ignores the segment duration.
According to the DASH specification, if maxSegmentDuration is not present,
then the maximum Segment duration is the maximum duration of any Segment
documented in the MPD.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753751
This simplifies the code but also removes a bug with tracking of the remaining
size for the initial subfragment: we were not considering the size between the
index and the start of the first moof here.

A realtime clock is used in many places, such as deciding which
fragment to select at start up and deciding how long to sleep
before a fragment becomes available. For example dashdemux needs
sample the client's estimate of UTC when selecting where to start
in a live DASH stream.
The problem with dashdemux calculating the client's idea of UTC is
that it makes it difficult to create unit tests, because the passage
of time is a factor in the test.
This commit changes dashdemux and adaptivedemux to use the
GstSystemClock, so that a unit test can replace the system clock when
it needs to be able to control the clock.
This commit makes no change to the behaviour under normal usage, as
GstSystemClock is based upon the system time.

The code in the gst_dash_demux_parse_http_xsdate() was trying to
handle the case where the string is not null terminated by resizing
the buffer and appending a zero byte. This does not work if the buffer
is exactly the length of the string because the gst_buffer_resize()
function does not re-allocate the buffer, it just changes its size.
If a buffer is passed to gst_dash_demux_parse_http_xsdate() that is
exactly the length of the string, the function fails with an assert
failure in gst_buffer_resize().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762148
The function actually returns the segment availability start time (as defined by the standard).
That is at the end of the segment, but it is called availability start time.
Availability end time is something else (the time when the segment is no longer
available on the server). The function name was misleading.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757655
Adaptive demuxers need to start downloading from specific positions
(fragments) for every stream, this means that all streams can snap-seek
to a different position when requested. Snap seeking in this case will
be done in 2 steps:
1) do the snap seeking on the pad that received the seek event and
get the final position
2) use this position to do a regular seek on the other streams to
make sure they all start from the same position
More arguments were added to the stream_seek function, allowing better control
of how seeking is done. Knowing the flags and the playback direction allows
subclasses to handle snap-seeking.
And also adds a new return parameter to inform of the final
selected seeking position that is used to align the other streams.

For a live mpd, if availabilityStartTime is missing, adaptive demux asserts
with: Unexpected critical/warning: gst_date_time_to_g_date_time: assertion
'datetime != NULL' failed.
This patch improves the error message to:
Unexpected critical/warning: gst_mpd_client_seek_to_time: assertion
'client->mpd_node->availabilityStartTime != NULL' failed

Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.
As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer

gst_mpdparser_parse_utctiming_node does not validate the parsed values completely. The following scenarios are incorrectly accepted:
- elements with no schemeIdUri property should be rejected
- elements with unrecognized UTCTiming scheme should be rejected
- elements with empty values should be rejected
The last one triggers a division by 0 in gst_dash_demux_poll_clock_drift:
clock_drift->selected_url = clock_drift->selected_url % g_strv_length (urls);
because it urls is a valid pointer to an empty array.

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).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752714
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
gst_mpd_client_setup_representation function will iterate through the
list of S nodes and will expect to find a matching SegmentUrl node. If
one does not exist, the code made an illegal memory access.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752496
These are used to apply restrictions on what the MPD file may
use, so no profile means no restrictions.
Besides, nothing actually uses the profiles (yet) anyway.

Create src pads for Representations that contain timed-text subtitles,
both when the subtitles are encapsulated in ISO BMFF (i.e., the
Representation has mimeType "application/mp4") and when they are
unencapsulated (i.e., the Representation has mimeType
"application/ttml+xml").
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747774
The same has to be done for AdaptationSet and SegmentList nodes still.
Also this does not correctly implement the semantics: by default Period (and
other nodes) should only be loaded when needed, not in the very beginning. We
need to implement lazy loading for them, which means adjusting
gst_mpd_client_setup_media_presentation().
