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.

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").

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().

gst_uri_join_strings() will return the second parameter if it is an absolute
URI. No need to do a (wrong) check if the URI is absolute or not beforehand.

The spec defines these as signed in 5.3.9.6.1.
Since we don't support this behavior, warn and default to 0
(non repeating), which is the spec's default when the value
is not present.

Even if it doesn't actually advance the subfragment in the default way
for streams that have subfragments, it can help the base class to return
EOS when there is no more fragments instead of signaling it that it should
continue downloading.

This reverts commit 626a8f0a74.
This allows us to get the plain presentation offset and the period start time
separately. We have to adjust the timestamp by the presentation offset, but
the period start time should only adjust the stream time and running time.

This reverts commit e671ad25a9.
The timestamps should restart at 0 again for each period, but we have to
adjust the segment to map those timestamps to the actual stream time and
running time of that period.
Otherwise we would have timestamps that conflict with the ones from the tfdt
inside the MP4 container, which are restarting at 0 for each period.

In dash isombff profile the fragment is split into subframents where
bitrate switching is possible. Also take that into consideration
when checking if a stream has next fragments.
This GstStreamPeriod start value is expressed in nanoseconds,
and the glib time addition function expects microseconds.
There seems to have been a confusion with GstPeriodNode's start
field, which is expressed in milliseconds.
Additionally, add a warning if the timestamp modification did
not succeed, and NULL was returned.
Fix some very dubious code. The class methods should always
be set, and the instance-specific check should then be done
inside the method. For data_received that's there already, for
finish_fragment we need to add it.

Previous patch did not handle the case where an encoding (e.g. UTF-8) is
specified in the <xml ?> element. Added an extra test for with and without
encoding.

When running on an STB, the function
gst_mpdparser_get_xml_node_as_string causes a segmentation fault. This
code works correctly on a Linux desktop.
Looking at the libxml documentation, the xmlNodeDump is deprecated.
Replacing the use of xmlNodeDump with xmlNodeDumpOutput fixes the
segfault on the STB and removes the use of the deprecated function.
When seeking to the last second of a mpd it would reject the seek
because the comparison was < instead of <=
This fails the important use case of seeking to the end of a file
to play it back in reverse from the end
The urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-head:2014 method of time synchronisation
uses an HTTP HEAD request to a specified URL and then parses the
Date: HTTP response header.
This commit adds support to dashdemux for this method of time
synchronisation by making a HEAD request and then parsing the Date:
response.
This commit adds support to gstfragment to return the HTTP headers
and to uridownloader to support HEAD requests. To avoid creating a
new API, the RANGE get function is re-used (abused?) with start=-1
and end=-1 to indicate a HEAD request.

This commit addresses the following items from the code review:
use a portable way to define NTP_TO_UNIX_EPOCH,
fix memory leak on error, and
add documentation to UTCTiming parse functions
Using LL is not portable, so the G_GUINT64_CONSTANT needs to be instead.
If an error occurs during DNS resolution, the GError was not being
released, causing a memory leak.

Unless the DASH client can compensate for the difference between its
clock and the clock used by the server, the client might request
fragments that either not yet on the server or fragments that have
already been expired from the server. This is an issue because these
requests can propagate all the way back to the origin
ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014/Amd 1 [PDAM1] defines a new UTCTiming element to allow
a DASH client to track the clock used by the server generating the
DASH stream. Multiple UTCTiming elements might be present, to indicate
support for multiple methods of UTC time gathering. Each element can
contain a white space separated list of URLs that can be contacted
to discover the UTC time from the server's perspective.
This commit provides parsing of UTCTiming elements, unit tests of this
parsing and a function to poll a time server. This function
supports the following methods:
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:ntp:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-xsdate:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-iso:2014
urn:mpeg:dash:utc:http-ntp:2014
The manifest update task is used to poll the clock time server,
to save having to create a new thread.
When choosing the starting fragment number and when waiting for a
fragment to become available, the difference between the server's idea
of UTC and the client's idea of UTC is taken into account. For example,
if the server's time is behind the client's idea of UTC, we wait for
longer before requesting a fragment

dashdemux: support NTP time servers in UTCTiming elements
Use the gst_ntp_clock to support the use of an NTP server.

The gst_dash_demux_stream_update_fragment_info function could call
gst_dash_demux_stream_update_headers_info function twice. The
gst_dash_demux_stream_update_headers_info function will set header_uri and
index_uri to some newly allocated strings. The values set by the first call of
gst_dash_demux_stream_update_headers_info will leak when the function is
called for a second time.
The solution is to call gst_adaptive_demux_stream_fragment_clear before the
second call of gst_dash_demux_stream_update_headers_info

Only copy the values from the parent if the current node doesn't
have that value, they were being copied from the parent and
then overwriten by the child node, leaking the parent's copy
