The gst_mpdparser_get_rep_idx_with_max_bandwidth function assumes
representations are ordered by bandwidth and incorrectly returns the
first one when wanting the one with minimum bandwidth.
Corrected gst_mpdparser_get_rep_idx_with_max_bandwidth function to get the
correct representation in case max_bandwidth parameter is 0.

If the presentationTimeOffset attribute of a DASH manifest contains
a value that is larger than 2^32, gstmpdparser incorrectly calculates
the stream's presentation time offset. This is due to two bugs:
1: Using gst_mpdparser_get_xml_prop_unsigned_integer rather than
gst_mpdparser_get_xml_prop_unsigned_integer_64 to parse the
attribute
2: gst_mpd_client_setup_representation multiplying the value by
GST_SECOND and then dividing by timescale

This reverts commit 37011e5198.
This change was actually completely unnecessary, the streams in question are
marked as static and are not considered live anyway.
Otherwise we'll only get half of its bits printed on 32 bit architectures.
For this, promote the %d-style format strings to something that accepts
64 bit integers with G_GINT64_MODIFIER.
Using format strings from an untrusted source without validation is
calling for problems, and at least allows to remotely crash your application.
If not worse.
The functions to get the next fragment, next fragment timestamp and to advance
to the next fragment need to work differently when stream->segments is NULL.
Use logic similar to that introduced by commit 2105a310 to perform these
functions.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749684
When all fragments have already been downloaded on a live stream
dashdemux would busy loop as the default implementation of
has_next_fragment would return TRUE. Implement it to correctly
signal if adaptivedemux should wait for the manifest update before
trying to get new fragments.
When updating the manifest the timestamps on it might have changed a little
due to rounding and timescale conversions. If the change makes the timestamp
of the current segment to go up it makes dashdemux reposition to the previous
one causing one extra unnecessary download.
So when repositioning add an extra 10 microseconds to cover for that rounding
issues and increase the chance of falling in the same segment.
Additionally, also improve the time used when the client is already after the
last segment. Instead of using the last segment starting timestamp use the
final timestamp to make it reposition to the next one and not to the one that
has already been downloaded.
These functions of directly getting and setting segment indexes
are no longer useful as now we need 2 indexes: repeat and segment
index.
The only operations needed are advance_segment, going back to the
first one or seeking for a timestamp.
Segments are now stored with their repeat counts instead of spanding
them to multiple segments. This caused advancing to the next segment
using a single index to have to iterate over the whole list every time.
This commit addresses this by storing both the segment index as well
as the repeat index and makes advancing to next segment just an
increment of the repeat or the segment index.
Use a single segment to represent it internally to avoid using too
much memory. This has the drawback of issuing a linear search to
find the correct segment to play but this can be fixed by using
binary searches or caching the current position and just looking
for the next one.

There is a playback error when trying to play a content that

Bitrate-limit is already available in the baseclass and, even though
the bandwidth-usage name is better, hls and mss already used
bitrate-limit. This patch deprecates the bandwidth-usage and maps
it to the baseclass bitrate-limite.
By implementing get_live_seek_range.
As shown by :
gst-validate-1.0 playbin \
uri=http://dev-iplatforms.kw.bbc.co.uk/dash/news24-avc3/news24.php
This patch handles live seeking, by setting a live seek range
comprised between now - timeShiftBufferDepth and now.
The inteersting thing with this stream is that one can actually
ask fragments up to availabilityStartTime, but it seems quite clear
in the spec that content is only guaranteed to exist up to
timeShiftBufferDepth.
One can test live seeking this way :
gst-validate-1.0 playbin \
uri=http://dev-iplatforms.kw.bbc.co.uk/dash/news24-avc3/news24.php \
--set-scenario seek_back.scenario
with scenario being:
description, seek=true
seek, playback-time=position+5.0, start="position-600.0",
flags=accurate+flush
This example will play the stream, wait for five seconds, then seek back
to a position 10 minutes earlier.

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 segment start time is calculated as the offset into the current segment.
The old condition to detect the end of period (i.e. segment start time >
period start + period duration) failed when the period start was not 0 since
the segment start time does not take the period start time into account.
Fix this detection by only comparing the segment start to the period duration.

The ISOBMFF profile allows definind subsegments in a segment. At those
subsegment boundaries the client can switch from one representation to
another as they have aligned indexes.
To handle those the 'sidx' index is parsed from the stream and the
entries point to pts/offset of the samples in the stream. Knowing that
the entries are aligned in the different representation allows the client
to switch mid fragment. In this profile a single fragment is used per
representation and the subsegments are contained in this fragment.
To notify the superclass about the subsegment boundary the chunk_received
function returns a special flow return that indicates that. In this case,
the super class will check if a more suitable bitrate is available and will
change to the same subsegment in this new representation.
It also requires special handling of the position in the stream as the
fragment advancing is now done by incrementing the index of the subsegment.
It will only advance to the next fragment once all subsegments have been
downloaded.

If EOS or ERROR happens before the download loop thread has reached its

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.

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()

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.
