Instead of downloading 1 fragment per stream per download loop,
select the stream with the earlier timestamp and get a fragment
only for that one.
The old algorithm would lead to problems when the fragment durations
were too different for streams.
Put EOS on the streams queues after the last fragment from the
last period for each stream. This way we keep it serialized
with the buffers and it will work when streams have different
ending times
Each stream has its own durations and timestamps, the fragment number
is different for each stream when seeking, so the seek has to be done
for all streams, rather than on a single stream and propagated to
others
GstDataQueue has proper locking and provides functions to limit the
size of the queue. Also has blocking calls that are useful to
our multithread scenario in Dash.
- the MPD file is updated in the download loop (only if we have a "dynamic" MPD and minimumUpdatePeriod is valid);
- properly LOCK/UNLOCK the GstMpdClient;
This was necessary to support variable-duration Fragments.
in the new API:
- gst_mpd_client_get_current_position returns the timestamp of the NEXT fragment to download;
- gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment_duration returns the duration of the next fragment to download;
- gst_mpd_client_get_media_presentation_duration returns the mediaPresentationDuration from the MPD file;
also there is a new internal parser function:
- gst_mpd_client_get_segment_duration extracts the constant segment duration from the MPD file
(only used when there is no SegmentTimeline syntax element in the current representation)
In gst_mpd_client_get_next_fragment, we set the timestamp/duration of the fragment just downloaded
copying the values from the corresponding GstMediaSegment.
TODO: rework SEEKING to support seeking across different Periods.
- Periods are played in sequence, from PeriodStart to PeriodEnd
- seamless switching from one Period to the next one works fine;
- the 'new-segment' generation is broken, so if we need to switch pads for a new Period there is a crash;
- build a list of the available Periods with their start and duration time
- add the list of GstStreamPeriod in the GstMpdClient data struct
- remove cur_period from GstMpdClient and introduce an API to get the current GstStreamPeriod
- several API clean-ups
build the list of segments to be played using the SegmentTimeline syntax, if present
bugfixes:
- for dynamic MPD files, when mediaPresentationDuration is not present use minimumUpdatePeriod instead
- do not add a spurious '$' when building an URL from a template like "$Bandwidth$/init.mp4v"
- introduce gst_mpd_client_add_media_segment() to avoid code duplication
other fixes:
- fixed a buffering bug: now we stop buffering when we reach the end of manifest
- now gst_mpd_client_get_target_duration() always returns a valid duration
(in case of single-segment streams, we return either Period duration or mediaPresentation duration)
TODO: support SegmentTimeline
SegmentList nodes are allowed into Period, AdaptationSet or Representation nodes
and there is at most 1 element, so no need to keep a list;
Period nodes cannot have any Represention elements, as AdaptationSet nodes are mandatory;
this breaks compatibility with some legacy DASH test sequences.
