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.

If the language is not specified in the AdaptationSet, use the ContentComponent
node to get it. We only get it if there is only a single ContentComponent as
it doesn't seem clear on what to do if there are multiple entries

When a seek with a negative rate is requested, find the target
segment where gstsegment.stop belongs in and then download from
this segment backwards until the first segment.
This allows proper reverse playback.
When flushing, this will prevent dashdemux from trying to download more
fragments or more chunks of the same fragment before stopping.
Also improves the error handling to not transform everything non-ok into
an error.

Set up a message handling function to be able to catch errors
from the source element and signal the cond to allow the download
loop to retry the download.
Instead, use a source element linked to a ghostpad to provide
smaller buffers and more granular control for downstream
buffering elements while also reducing startup latency
Incorrect time scaling in gst_dash_demux_wait_for_fragment_to_be_available()
means that media segments are fetched before their availablity time. This
patch fixes this.

demux->last_manifest_update is not initialised at startup, with the
effect that live manifests are reloaded immediately after the download
loop begins. This patch fixes this.

Remove the dashdemux seeking function to use the one implemented
in mpdparser as it is more complete. This also makes dashdemux not
crash when seeking on streams that use segment templates.
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.
Use a single lock for all streams instead of having separate locks.
This makes maintenance easier and at most points we would need
a single lock before iterating on all streams data. So not much
is gained from individual locks.
Make dash playlists with multiple periods work again by waiting
to switch the periods when all streams have reached the end of
the current period. The stream_loop is responsible for advancing
the period, but the download loops will already start downloading
data for the next period as soon as possible.
Handle multiple languages by using the not-linked return to stop
the download task for that stream. It can be reactivated when
a reconfigure event is received. Stopping the unused streams is
relevant to save network bandwidth
Instead of having a single download task for all streams, this
commit makes each stream have its own download loop, allowing
parallel download of fragments.
always expose all streams instead of only exposing one of each type.
This is more aligned with gstreamer's way of working. Allows the user
to select the stream that it wants to use by linking its pad and leaving
the unused ones as unlinked.
Fixed up the error-handling code when downloading fragments.
Modifed the error-handling code to use positive logic when
testing for cancellation of the download loop.

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.

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.

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
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.

According to the MPEG-DASH spec, certain elements (i.e.
SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate, and SegmentList) should inherit
attributes from the same elements in the containing AdaptationSet
or Period.
Updated the SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate, and SegmentList parsers
to properly inherit attributes from the corresponding elements in
AdaptationSet and/or Period.

Convert all xml attribute/content parsing functions to return a
boolean value indicating whether or not the attribute/content was
present. We need this finer-grained control in order to properly
implement the inheritance policies described in the spec
Also fixed several memory leak conditions when handling errors in
the xml attribute/content parsing functions.

Ensure that g_free/xmlFree is used correctly based on how the
memory was allocated.
When deallocating GLists, there were many places that were using
g_list_foreach and g_list_free. Converted these occurrences to
call g_list_free_full.
Add NULL checks to all xmlFree calls since the documentation does
not guarantee that passing NULL is safe
In places where we are strdup'ing memory allocated by libxml2,
changed those calls to use xmlMemStrdup().
There were several places where we were missing g_slice_free when
deallocating a top-level node structure.

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.
