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 variables to store face values are only needed if they will be used to
control the volume. Which isn't the default to avoid potentially being very
loud accidentally. Only create variables when needed.
This other type of baseURL test was replaced by a more complex one,
better have both to keep both options working
Also adds another 2 variations of how baseURL can be generated

gst_gl_memory_setup_wrapped() now takes a destroy notify function. This
destroy notify is called to track the memory life time, hence will
notify each time a memory get destroyed. This test check that the
callback count is correct.
We need to sync the pad values before taking the aggregator and pad locks
otherwise the element will just deadlock if there's any property changes
scheduled using GstController since that involves taking the aggregator and pad
locks.
Also add a test for this.

They require to get_proc_address some functions through the
platform specific {glX,egl}GetProcAddress rather than the default
GL library symbol lookup.
The previous approach of traversing the other_context weak ref tree was
1. Less performant
2. Incorrect for context destruction removing a link in the tree
Example of 2:
c1 = context_create (NULL)
c2 = context_create (c1)
c3 = context_create (c2)
context_can_share (c1, c3) == TRUE
context_destroy (c2)
unref (c2)
context_can_share (c1, c3) returns FALSE when it should be TRUE!
This does not remove the restriction that context sharedness can only
be tracked between GstGLContext's.
Very much in the same spirit as the Gtk GL sink
Two things are provided
1. A QQuickItem subclass that renders out RGBA filled GstGLMemory
buffers that is instantiated from qml.
2. A sink element that will push buffers into (1)
To use
1. Declare the GstGLVideoItem in qml with an appropriate
objectName property set.
2. Get the aforementioned GstGLVideoItem from qml using something like
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
QObject *rootObject = engine.rootObjects().first();
QQuickItem *videoItem = rootObject->findChild<QQuickItem *> ("videoItem");
3. Set the videoItem on the sink

Added unit tests for all functions. Code coverage:
Overall coverage rate:
lines......: 83.8% (1941 of 2316 lines)
functions..: 100.0% (141 of 141 functions)
flexelint (http://www.gimpel.com/html/flex.htm) static code analyser
complained about implicit conversions from unsigned to signed, so I added
explicit conversions.
Ideally, the size parameter of gst_mpd_parse function should be unsigned,
but I don't want to change the API.
The duration_to_ms function converts a time specified by year, month, day,
hour, minute, second, millisecond to a millisecond value. Because all the
arguments are positive numbers, the result must also be positive.
This patch changes the returned value from a gint64 to a guint64 type.
Improved dash_mpd unit tests by adding new tests that parse the Period element.
Code coverage reported by lcov for dash/gstmpdparser.c is:
lines......: 43.0% (985 of 2290 lines)
functions..: 47.5% (67 of 141 functions)
According to ISO/IEC 23009-1:2014(E), chapter 5.3.2.1
"The Period extends until the PeriodStart of the next Period, or until
the end of the Media Presentation in the case of the last Period."
This means that a configured value for optional attribute period duration
should be ignored if the next period contains a start attribute or it is
the last period and the MPD contains a mediaPresentationDuration attribute.

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.

Added a check for a_node->ns before accessing a_node->ns->href in
gst_mpdparser_get_xml_node_namespace. This could happen if the xml
is missing the default namespace.

An example app that takes video URIs as command line arguments and switches
between them seamlessly one after the other using compositor and audiomixer.
Both audio-video and video-only media files are valid inputs, but mixing files
of both types in a single invocation is cumbersome to support, and hence does
not work. The example attempts to keep the audio stream moving along perfectly,
and duplicates video frames where necessary to cover gaps in the video
timestamps using the 'ignore-eos' videoaggregator pad property.
Ensuring seamless (and mostly-glitch-free) switching is harder than it sounds,
and hence the example contains plenty of pad probes and running time
calculations to make things work.
The GPtrArray play_queue contains items that are being played back, have been
prepared for playback, and will be played back in the future. The queue itself
is mutable besides the first two items (playing and prepared). The item that has
been prepared should not be edited or removed since it has been prepared in
advance to be activated immediately on the current item's EOS.
The example also has support for switching to the next item in the queue
prematurely; see the --switch-after/-s flag to the application.
Note: the output video is hard-coded at 1280x720, and input video is scaled as
needed to fit this size. Set OUTPUT_VIDEO_WIDTH/HEIGHT to change this.

When the 'ignore-eos' property is set on a pad, compositor will keep resending
the last buffer on the pad till the pad is unlinked. We count the buffers
received on appsink, and if it's more than the buffers sent by videotestsrc, the
test passes.
g_object_get() returns a ref, gtk_container_add() only ref_sink().
That mean we still need to unref afterward. This leak was hiding
a reference bug previously present.
