Apart from just adding detection of the proper stream type, we also need to only
output the first substream (0x71) which contains the core substream.
While this does not provide *full* DTS-HD support (since it will miss the complementary
substreams), it will still work in the way legacy (non-DTS-HD) bluray players would work.

Keep a list of current global tags around and push them
whenever a new stream is started. Also convert all stream
specific tags to global as they are stream specific for
the container, so they are global for the streams from
within that container.

The PAT is related to the stream, we therefore want it cleared along
with anything stream related.
This commented section was from the (old) mpegtsparse and *might* have
been related to speeding up DVB start-up. But we have another plan for that.

The requested TS might be beyond the last observed PCR. In order to calculate
a coherent offset, we need to use the last and previous-to-last groups.

When refactored (leading to the creation of this new plugin), I chose all

fixes this.
It is quite possible that we might get PTS/DTS before the first
PCR/Offset observation.
In order to end up with valid timestamp we wait until at least one
stream was able to get a proper running-time for any PTS/DTS.
Until then, we queue up the pending buffers to push out.
Once we see a first valid timestamp, we re-evaluate the amount of
running-time elapsed (based on returned inital running-time and amount
of data/DTS queued up) for any given stream.
Taking the biggest amount of elapsed time, we set that on the packetizer
as the initial offset and recalculate all pending buffers running-time
PTS/DTS.
Note: The buffer queueing system can also be used later on for the
dvb fast start proposal (where we queue up all stream packets before
seeing PAT/PMT and then push them once we know if they belong to the
chosen program).
This allows:
* Better duration estimation
* More accurate PCR location
* Overall more accurate running-time location and calculation
Location and values of PCR are recorded in groups (PCROffsetGroup)
with notable PCR/Offset observations in them (when bitrate changed
for example). PCR and offset are stored as 32bit values to
reduce memory usage (they are differences against that group's
first_{pcr|offset}.
Those groups each contain a global PCR offset (pcr_offset) which
indicates how far in the stream that group is.
Whenever new PCR values are observed, we store them in a sliding
window estimator (PCROffsetGroupCurrent).
When a reset/wrapover/gap is detected, we close the current group with
current values and start a new one (the pcr_offset of that new group
is also calculated).
When a notable change in bitrate is observed (+/- 10%), we record
new values in the current group. This is a compromise between
storing all PCR/offset observations and none, while at the same time
providing better information for running-time<=>offset calculation
in VBR streams.
Whenever a new non-contiguous group is start (due to seeking for example)
we re-evaluate the pcr_offset of each groups. This allows detecting as
quickly as possible PCR wrapover/reset.
When wanting to find the offset of a certain running-time, one can
iterate the groups by looking at the pcr_offset (which in essence *is*
the running-time of that group in the overall stream).
Once a group (or neighbouring groups if the running-time is between two
groups) is found, once can use the recorded values to find the most
accurate offset.
Right now this code is only used in pull-mode , but could also
be activated later on for any seekable stream, like live timeshift
with queue2.
Future improvements:
* some heuristics to "compress" the stored values in groups so as to keep
the memory usage down while still keeping a decent amount of notable
points.
* After a seek compare expected and obtained PCR/Offset and if the
difference is too big, re-calculate position with newly observed
values and seek to that more accurate position.
Note that this code will *not* provide keyframe-accurate seeking, but
will allow a much more accurate PCR/running-time/offset location on
any random stream.
For past (observed) values it will be as accurate as can be.
For future values it will be better than the current situation.
Finally the more you seek, the more accurate your positioning will be.
The previous code could enter an infinite loop because the adapter state
could get out of sync with its mapped data state after sync was lost.
The code was pretty confusing so it's been rewritten to be clearer.
The easiest way to reproduce the infinite loop is to use the breakmydata
element before tsdemux to trigger a resync.

Some streams had wrong values for the stream_id_extension, make sure
we only remember the valid ones.
For streams with PES_extension_field_length == 0, assume there's nothing
else.
For streams that state they have a TREF extension but don't have enough
data to store it, just assume it was produced by a non-compliant muxer
and skip the remaining data.
Only store remaining data in stream_id_extension_data instead of storing
data we already parse.
If ever we lose sync, we were just checking for the next 0x47 marker ...
which might actually happen within a mpeg-ts packet.
Instead check for 3 repeating 0x47 at the expected packet size interval,
which the same logic we use when we initially look for the packet size.
We were only resetting the first 512 values of the lookup table instead
of the whole 8192.
This resulted in any PCR PID over 0x0200 ... ending up taking the first PCR
table around :(
ATSC ac3 streams are always guaranteed to be AC3 if EAC3 descriptor
is not present
If stream registration id is 'AC-3' then it's also guaranteed to be AC3.
Finally if AC3 descriptor is present it's guaranteed to be AC3.
Only silences a warning, but still.
We know we will not overflow 64 bits, therefore just use direct
multiplication/division instead of the scale method (trims usage from
50 instruction calls to 2/3).
Helps with debugging issues. And also remove unused variable (opcr)
This will also allow us in the future to properly detect:
* random-access location (to enable keyframe observation and
potentially seeking
* discont location (to properly handle resets)
* splice location (to properly handle new stream changes)
The new seek handling re-creates the segment time information once it
has enough information after a seek.
The problem was that we'd completely ignore the requested rate. So store
that and use it in the newly created segment.

The program_number attribute was overloaded, trying to indicate both
the currently playing program, and the program requested via the
"program-number" property. The end result was that setting the
property didn't work (see #690934).
I added a new requested_program_number field rather than reviving the
current_program_number field because it seemed this would result in
fewer changes overall and be less confusing. It breaks symmetry with
the "program-number" property, but it retains parallels with the likes
of program->program_number.
Because gst_ts_demux_reset is called after the properties have been
parsed, requested_program_number is initialised in gst_ts_demux_init.
Whether this is exactly the right place, I don't know.
Setting the program-number property does not affect which program
is actually being demuxed.
Moving the initialization of the program_number from
gst_ts_demux_reset to gst_ts_demux_init seems to fix this issue.

* Avoids handling twice the same seek (can happen with playbin and files
with subtitles)
* Set the sequence number of the segment event to the sequence number of
the seek event that generated it (-1 for the initial one).
The seeking start time is approximated from the seek offset in bytes
using the accumulated PCR observations, so on a VBR stream there might
be a big difference between the actual PCR and the estimated one after
the seek. This might result in a long wait to skip all out of segments
packets.
Instead we just recalculate the new segment to start at the first PTS
after the seek, so that playback starts immediatly.
This is actually a workaround (we'll be skipping the upcoming section)
This will only happen for sections where the beginning is located within
the last 8 bytes of a packet (which is the minimum we need to properly
identify any section beginning).
Later we should figure out a way to store those bytes and mark that
some analysis needs to happen. The probability of this happening is
too low for me to care right now and do that fix. There is a good chance
that section will eventually be repeated and won't end up on such border.
* packet.origts is no longer used since the PCR refactoring done ages ago
* known_packet_size is a duplicate of packet_size != 0
* caps was never used outside of the packetizer
We had two issues with the previous code:
1) We were badly handling PUSI-flagged packets. We were discarding the
initial data (if pointer != 0) whereas we should have been accumulating
it with the previous data (if there was a continuity of course).
=> First series of information loss
2) We were not checking whether there were more sections after the end
of one (i.e. when the following byte was not a stuff byte).
This fixes those two issues.
Fixes#677443https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677443
Until now we simply ignored those streams (since we couldn't do anything
with it anyway). Now that we have the mpegts library and we offload the
section handling to the application side we can properly identify and
extract them.
By default it is disabled for tsparse and enabled for tsdemux, but there is
a property to change that.
This should open the way to properly handle all private section streams,
including:
* DSM-CC
* MHEG
* Carousel data
* Metadata streams (though I haven't seen any of those in the wild)
* ... And all other specs/protocols making use of those
Partially fixes#560631
Since we now send all sections to the packetizer, we no longer need to do
anymore in-depth checks for the validity of a section.
The choice boils down to:
1) Is it from a known PES pid ? If so pass it on (which might be just pushing
downstream in the case of tsparse, or accumulating PES data for tsdemux)
2) Is it from a known SI pid ? If so pass it to the section packetizer
We still have some other stream types which haven't been ported, but
we will do so once we have defined the enums in the mpegts library.
Also add some FIXMEs regarding items discovered during analysis
* Only mpeg-ts section packetization remains.
* Improve code to detect duplicated sections as early as possible
* Add FIXME for various issues that need fixing (but are not regressions)

We use add_stream(stream_type:-1) to ensure a programs' PCR Stream is
also taken into account. For most programs this will re-use an
existing ES stream.
So only warn that we are re-adding a stream if it was already present
AND it is not to ensure the PCR stream is taken into account.
Only create subtables when needed. It was previously creating one every
single time ... to check if one was present.
And speed up code to detect whether a subtable was already present or not.
Overall makes section pushing 2 times faster.
In some cases (NIT on highly-populated DVB-C operator for example), there
will be more than one section emitted for the same subtable and version
number.
In order not to lose those updates for the same version number, we checked
against the CRC of the previous section we parsed.
The problem is that, while it made sure we didn't lose any information, it
also meant that if the same section came back (same version, same CRC) later
on we would re-process it, re-parse it and re-emit it.
This version improves on that by keeping a list of previously observed CRC
for identical PID/subtable/version-number and will only process sections if
they really were never seen in the past (as opposed to just before).
On a 30s clip, this brings down the number of NIT section parsing from 4541
down to 663.

First send stream-start, then caps, then segment.
The segment we push is from upstream in push-mode. If we work in pull-mode
then we initialize the base segment to BYTES.

Sync byte scan is incorrect for M2TS streams because the timestamp 4
bytes were not included in the flush size. This can result in an
infinite loop.
Rework the scan code to be clearer and work in all cases.
descriptors are stored as a GValueArray of GString. The downside is
that there is no way to "pass" ownership of a GValue to a GValueArray
which previously resulted in expensive copy/free of the (already expensive)
GString.
Here we estimate first the size of the GValueArray, then create it,
then directly use the GValue of that array.
Speeds up total SI parsing by ~30%
Since there is a conflict between the DCII stream type and BluRay
stream types, moved the processing of BluRay-specific stream types
to the beginning of the function. Only if a BluRay stream type
IS NOT found do we proceed to check the rest of the stream type
identifiers
Previous code was also "sort-of" handling a similar conflict between
BluRay AC3 audio and standard AC3 audio. Moved the special case BluRay
AC3 handling in the main switch statement to the new BluRay-specific
switch.

And if we detect a discontinuity there (like... when losing packets
or having MPEGTS over raw UDP with out-of-order packets) we just
drop the corresponding packet.
A future version could try to implement a re-ordering algorithm based
on that, similar to what rtpjitterbuffer does.
Also reset segment info and drop the segment event when demuxer is
flushed.
Restore demuxer segment with the info stored in base when demuxer is
going to push data again if needed.
Drop code to recover the segment info from base in the initial program
becauses it's superseded by the new code.
Ensure the chain is not running before reset the state to avoid race
conditions and random corruptions downstream.
Also fixes segfaults in the packetizer due wrong available values that
causes gst_adapter_map to return a NULL pointer.
This reverts commit e14e310f71.
Would be better move the packetizer flushing to FLUSH_STOP and avoid
the race that way. Without introducing a memory barrier that could
have impact in the performance.
When dealing with non-time based push-mode streams, we need to revert
to using the offset-based PCR/PTS estimation logic of packetizer.
This solves uses cases such as:
pushfile:// ! tsdemux
src ! queue ! tsdemux
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687178
additional_copy_info: need to get rid of the highest
bit, not the lowest one
program_packet_sequence_counter: also need to get rid
of the highest bit instead of multiplying with a random
value
original_stuff_length: want to AND 0x3f to extract the
lowest 6 bits, not multiply by it.
None of these fields are actually used though, so these
should not have caused any issues.
This can be used to notify subclasses no more data is expected this
round.
tsparse will use it to push whole buffers (without copy) on the main
source pad.
It could also be used later to decide whether to push pending data
in order to reduce latency.
Avoids consistently failing to detect that a packet is complete, which
would then only be pushed upon the start of a next packet, which leads
to quite a delay in case of a sparse (subtitle) stream.

Peek as much as possible in one go. Ideally we should remove usage of
adapter altogether, but for the time being it provides a big enough
speedup (around 2 times faster per packet processed).
According to the specifications a PTS_DTS_flags value of 0x01 is forbidden.
... but there are some rare files out there that do that.
Instead of erroring out, let's warn, carry on parsing accordingly.
If the packet is really corrupted there are enough checks afterward to
detect that.
The overhead of creating/using 188 byte GstBuffer from GstAdapter
is too expensive.
We now peek the next packet, and provide a data/size which is only
valid until the packetizerpacket is cleared.
In addition, cleanup all the internal code to deal with that new
behaviour and remove double-checks which are no longer needed.
The section_length is now the corrected section_length (i.e. with
the additional 3 bytes).
Avoid using gst_adapter_prev_timestamp and instead track
the timestamp ourself.
Data should not be flushed out of the tsdemux because a payload unit start
indicator (pusi) is seen in a adaptation only ts packet. If the package contains no
payload a pusi does not indicate a new PES packet, but PSI information, etc.
This fixes playback of several TS files which contain ts packets without
payload but with pusi set to 1.
