Fixes for stream_time recalculation and handling in partial segments.
Disallow bitrate switching when in the middle of partial segments - only at a
full segment (or right before the first partial segment of a segment).
It's possible but more difficult to switch bitrates in the middle of a partial
segment group, since they are less likely to have aligned keyframes. In any
case, the seek code can't do that right now.

When calculating the presentation offset for CMAF input in live
playback, subtract the stream_time of the fragment from the
calculated presentation offset, so that the first fragment
is played at running time zero.

The stream selection is done on the currently outputting tracks, but in order to
(de)activate the backing streams we can only do it if the input and output
period are identical.
Fixes crash when doing stream selection during period migration

Instead of returning a "const gchar" or a "gchar" that should not be freed, always
return a duplicated string as those functions were used together with g_strdup anyway.
This is needed to prepare support for returning modified strings in next commit.

Unlike the legacy elements, GstAdaptiveDemuxStream is a GObject now,
so a bunch of things that were actually stream methods on the
parent demux object can directly become stream methods now.
Move the stream class out to a header of its own.

Sometimes g_input_stream_read_all_finish() can return
0 bytes, but still succeed (return TRUE) and have more
data available later. Only finish the transfer
if it returns 0 bytes *and* FALSE with no error.

The cancelled flag was only set in the stream finalize()
method, after all activity on the stream has stopped anyway.
Replace uses of cancelled with checks on the stream state.
Remove the replaced flag, which was checked but never set
to TRUE anywhere any more.

When matching segments across playlists with Program-Date-Times,
use the difference in segment PDTs to adjust the stream time
that's being transferred. This can fix cases where the
segment boundaries don't align across different streams
and the first download gets thrown away once the PTS
is seen and found not to match.

Check whether the init file / MAP data for a segment
is different to the current data and trigger an
update if so. Previously, the header would only
be checked in HLS after switching bitrate or
after a seek / first download.

Previously the minimum buffering threshold was hardcoded to a specific
value (10s). This is suboptimal this an actual value will depend on the actual
stream being played.
This commit sets the low watermark threshold in time to 0, which is an automatic
mode. Subclasses can provide a stream `recommended_buffering_threshold` when
update_stream_info() is called.
Currently implemented for HLS, where we recommended 1.5 average segment
duration. This will result in buffering being at 100% when the 2nd segment has
been downloaded (minus a bit already being consumed downstream)

These values will be referred to as timestamp relative to period start
so need to subtract period start time from the values.
Fixes a problem with determining the start position when playing Live content
with SegmentTimeline, presentationTimeOffset and a non-0 period start time.

Change the way streams are woken up to download more data.
Instead of checking the level on tracks that are being
output as data is dequeued, calculate a 'wakeup time'
at which it should download more data, and wake up
the stream when the global output position crosses
that threshold.
For efficiency, compute the earliest wakeup time
for all streams and store it on the period, so the
output loop can quickly check only a single value
to decide if something needs waking up.
Does the same buffering as the previous method,
but ensures that as we approach the end of
one period, the next period continues incrementally
downloading data so that it is fully buffered when
the period starts.
Fixes issues with multi-period VOD content where
download of the second period resumes only after
the first period is completely drained.

Some servers can return playlists with "old" media playlists and different
Discont Sequence.
In those cases, the segment stream times would be negative when creating a new
time mapping. In order to properly handle such scenarios, shift the values to
stored accordingly to end up with non-negative reference stream time.

When advancing fragment in live, it's normal to return
GST_FLOW_EOS when playing at the live edge of the available
fragments. In that case, we still want to adjust bitrate
dynamically.
Fixes issue with dashdemux2 where the current bitrate of
each adaptation set is changed to the lowest one when
updating the mpd for a live stream.

Just like for the seconds field, there are no limitations on the hours and

When updating a manifest during live playback, preserve the current
representation for each stream.
During update_fragment_info, if the current representation changed
because it couldn't be matched, trigger a caps change and new
header download.
This reverts commit e0e1db212f
and reapplies "dashdemux: Fix issue when manifest update sets slow start
without passing necessary header & caps changes downstream" with
changes.

libsoup 3.0.x dispatches using a single source attached when the session
is created, so we need to create the session with the same context that
our download thread is later using.
2.74 or 3.1 will dispatch a response using the context which sent the
request. However, for any context other than the one that created the
session, this will also create and destroy sources, so there's still
some slight performance benefit.

Handle select-streams and seek events in an element
level send_event() vfunc, so they can be received
before any source pads are created.
This allows preferred streams to be selected before
segment downloading starts.

When playing live, it's possible that one stream reaches
the end of the available playback window and goes to sleep
waiting for a manifest update, and the manifest update
introduces a new period. In that case, the sleeping
stream needs to wake up and go 'properly' EOS before we
can advance the input to the new period.
Accordingly, make sure that a stream's last_ret value
is not marked as EOS if it's just sleeping waiting for a live
manifest update.
Also fix the output loop to go back and re-check if it's
time to switch to the next period after dequeuing and
discarding an EOS event.

When returning GST_ADAPTIVE_DEMUX_FLOW_RESTART_FRAGMENT
for the first segment data, we might need to requeue the

Media playlist updates and fragment downloads happen in an interleaved
fashion. When a media playlist update fails *while* a segment is being
downloaded, this means we lost synchronization.
Properly propagate and handle this
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
There is now only a single case where we setup the initial playlist to 0, which
is for the very first variant stream.
Rendition streams will have the initial playlist "synchronized" against the
variant stream media playlist.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
Loss of synchronization happens when the updated media playlist has no
relationship to the previous ones. This could happen because of network issues,
server issues, etc...
When this happens, we take no chance and "reset" ourselves so that we can "seek
back to live" against the new updated playlists.
Since this happens at the "media playlist update" level, make sure the custom
flow return is propagated up.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
We are already in the main scheduler thread, therefore we can do the "seek back
to live" directly. This also avoids other pending actions to take place.
Also handle the loss of sync when doing manifest updates.

Close some race conditions in switching to the next period,
by ensuring the tracks are completely drained first and by
not outputting EOS events to the output source pad
if there is another period pending.
Fixes Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd some more.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2838>
Before sending EOS, update the period's has_next_period
flag and/or create the next period. This closes a race
where the output loop might receive the EOS event
and either push it downstream (causing premature EOS),
or receive it and try and switch to the next period
before that period is completely set up.

When combining stream flows, ignore streams that
are not selected, instead of checking whether
the stream state has changed yet.
Fixes another issue with dashdemux2 where it fails to
change to the next period when playing content with
several video, audio and text streams, as with
Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd when seeking to 730
just before the end of the first period.

* When dealing with rendition streams, we attempt to synchronize the media
playlist against the variant stream. This helps with speeding up the correct
initial fragment search and avoids issues when streams at activated at a much
later time.
* Also add checks for variant stream existence before attempting to use them
