Add static or dynamic mpd with:
- baseURL
- period
- adaptation_set
- representaton
- SegmentList
- SegmentURL
- SegmentTemplate
Support multiple audio and video streams.
Pass conformance test with DashIF.org
The start of each segment is relative to the Period start, minus
the presentation time offset.
As specified in section 5.3.9.6 of the MPEG DASH specification:
The value of the @t attribute minus the value of the
@presentationTimeOffset specifies the MPD start time of
the first Segment in the series.
dashdemux was not taking account of presentationTimeOffset and in
some methods was not taking into account the Period start time.
This commit modifies the segment->start value to always be
relative to the MPD start time (zero for VOD,
availabilityStartTime for live streams). This makes all uses of
the segment list consistent.
Fixes#841
Worst case it will be empty. This fixes a crash when the base class
calls data_received() when the stream is neither is_isobmff or
has_isoff_ondemand_profile.

In some cases, it is possible that we need to update the manifest before
pads have been exposed at all. If there are no current pads, just expose
the next prepared streams. This doesn't handle the case where a manifest
update would happen while a live streams is changing periods, which is a
type of use case that we're unaware of real usages yet.

This is wrong because:
* If the rate is negative we should check for the *previous* period
* adaptivedemux already does the proper checks before calling this
method
This ensures smoother playback. It looks weird if we first do a big
jump, then play a couple of consecutive frames, just to again skip ahead
quite a bit because we ran late again.
Far enough here means more than 500ms or 4 times the average keyframe
download time. There is no need to jump ahead by one average keyframe
download time in this case.
This makes playback smooth if the network is fast enough.
When dealing with key-unit trick mode downloads, the goal is to
provide the best "Quality of Experience". This is achieved by:
1) maximizing the number of frames displayed per second
2) avoiding "stalling" as much as possible (i.e. not downloading and
decoding frames fast enough)
This implementation achives this by:
1) Knowing very precisely the current keyframe being download (i.e
more accurate than at the fragment level which might contain more
than one keyfram). This is the new "actual_position" variable
introduced by this commit
2) Knowing the position of downstream (provided by QoS and stored
in the adaptivedemuxstream qos_earliest_time variable)
3) Knowing how long it takes to request and fully download a keyframe
(the average_download_time variable)
Taking those 3 variables into account, whenever a keyframe has been
pushed downstream we calculate a "target time" (target_time variable)
which is the ideal next keyframe time to request so that:
1) It will be requested/downloaded/demuxed/decoded in time to be
displayed without being too late
2) It will not be too far ahead that it would cause too few frames
per second to be displayed.
How far ahead we will request is inversily proportional to how close
the actual position (actual_position) is from the downstream
position (qos_earliest_time). The more is buffered between the source
and the sink, the "closer" the target time will be, and therefore
the more frames per seconds will be displayed (up to the limit
of keyframes_per_second * absolute_rate).
