fd8d35298f Revert "adaptivedemux: answer duration queries for live streams"
Completely disabling duration reporting with live streams is not cool.

This reverts commit e1b68d9a65.

e1b68d9a65 adaptivedemux: answer duration queries for live streams
For duration queries on live streams, adaptivedemux ignores the query.
The problem then is that the query is answered by the downstream
qtdemux element, with the duration of the currently passing fragment.

This commit changes the behaviour of adaptivedemux to answer the duration
queries for live streams, returning GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

b2113f69c6 adaptivedemux: Preroll streams before exposing them
To ensure that pads have caps when they are exposed, do
the exposing when all pending streams have prerolled an
output buffer, and only then EOS and remove any old pads.

Improves the switching sequence by making caps available
as soon as a pad appears.

73721ad4e9 mssdemux: improved live playback support
When a MSS server hosts a live stream the fragments listed in the
manifest usually don't have accurate timestamps and duration, except
for the first fragment, which additionally stores timing information
for the few upcoming fragments. In this scenario it is useless to
periodically fetch and update the manifest and the fragments list can
be incrementally built by parsing the first/current fragment.

4aadf50012 adaptivedemux: Calculate values before queue2
In order to calculate the *actual* bitrate for downloading a fragment
we need to take into account the time since we requested the fragment.

Without this, the bitrate calculations (previously reported by queue2)
would be biased since they wouldn't take into account the request latency
(that is the time between the moment we request a specific URI and the
moment we receive the first byte of that request).

Such examples were it would be biased would be high-bandwith but high-latency
networks. If you download 5MB in 500ms, but it takes 200ms to get the first
byte, queue2 would report 80Mbit/s (5Mb in 500ms) , but taking the request
into account it is only 57Mbit/s (5Mb in 700ms).

While this would not cause too much issues if the above fragment represented
a much longer duration (5s of content), it would cause issues with short
ones (say 1s, or when doing keyframe-only requests which are even shorter)
where the code would expect to be able to download up to 80Mbit/s ... whereas
if we take the request time into account it's much lower (and we would
therefore end up doing late requests).

Also calculate the request latency for debugging purposes and further
usage (it could allow us to figure out the maximum request rate for
example).

a9e38d3fec adaptivedemux: Add API for allowing subclasses to download URLs in chunks
This allows to gradually download part of a fragment when the final size is
not known and only a part of it should be downloaded. For example when only
the moof should be parsed and/or a single keyframe should be downloaded.

535f10b61d adaptivedemux: retry once on 4xx/5xx in certain conditions
This helps catch those 404 server errors in live streams when
seeking to the very beginning, as the server will handle a
request with some delay, which can cause it to drop the fragment
before sending it.

74d62b9144 adaptivedemux: use GstSystemClock to all real-time calculations
A realtime clock is used in many places, such as deciding which
fragment to select at start up and deciding how long to sleep
before a fragment becomes available. For example dashdemux needs
sample the client's estimate of UTC when selecting where to start
in a live DASH stream.

The problem with dashdemux calculating the client's idea of UTC is
that it makes it difficult to create unit tests, because the passage
of time is a factor in the test.

This commit changes dashdemux and adaptivedemux to use the
GstSystemClock, so that a unit test can replace the system clock when
it needs to be able to control the clock.

This commit makes no change to the behaviour under normal usage, as
GstSystemClock is based upon the system time.

731ab94cc3 adaptivedemux: handle snap seeks
Adaptive demuxers need to start downloading from specific positions
(fragments) for every stream, this means that all streams can snap-seek
to a different position when requested. Snap seeking in this case will
be done in 2 steps:

1) do the snap seeking on the pad that received the seek event and
   get the final position

2) use this position to do a regular seek on the other streams to
   make sure they all start from the same position

More arguments were added to the stream_seek function, allowing better control
of how seeking is done. Knowing the flags and the playback direction allows
subclasses to handle snap-seeking.
And also adds a new return parameter to inform of the final
selected seeking position that is used to align the other streams.

b7a0be23c6 adaptivedemux: replace ghostpad with a standard pad
Handling the ghostpad and its internal pad was causing more issues
than helping because of their coupled activation/deactivation
actions.

As we have to install custom chain,event and query functions it is
better to use a floating sink pad internally in the demuxer and just
use those pad functions to push through a standard pad in the demuxer

1491d02c4e adaptivedemux: remove now-defunct "num-lookback-fragments" property
This no longer does anything, and it was marked as CONSTRUCT_ONLY
which means someone would really have to go out of their way to
be able to set this, which would only be done in very custom
scenarios, if ever, and those will likely target a specific
version of GStreamer then, so probably not much point keeping
it deprecated for a while before removing it.

d1c5669a38 adaptivedemux: Properly implement timestamping of multi-period streams
Each period will start again with pts 0 + period presentation offset, which is
also going to be the presentation time inside the container stream if any.
However all periods together should form a continuous timeline, with regard to
stream time and running time.

For making this possible we keep track of the "user requested segment", i.e.
the seek events, inside the demuxer without adjusting anything and taking this
demuxer segment only as orientation for modified segments per stream.

This per stream segments will have their segment.start at pts that would be
produced for this stream in this period, and the segment.base/time adjusted so
that this pts maps to the running and stream time this period should have in
the context of all other periods.

71a1e3669a dashdemux: add support for generating Protection events from ContentProtection elements
If a ContentProtection element is present in an AdaptationSet element,
send Protection events on the source pad, so that qtdemux can use this
information to correctly generate its source caps for DASH CENC
encrypted streams.

This allows qtdemux to support CENC encrypted DASH streams where the
content protection specific information is carried in the MPD file
rather than in pssh boxes in the initialisation segments.

This commit adds a new function to the adaptivedemux base class to allow
a GstEvent to be queued for a stream. The queue of events are sent the
next time a buffer is pushed for that stream.

And use the average to go up in resolution, and the last fragment
bitrate to go down.

This allows the demuxer to react rapidly to bitrate loss, and
be conservative for bitrate improvements.

+ Add a construct only property to define the number of fragments
  to consider when calculating the average moving bitrate.

229a15b393 adaptivedemux: refactor chunk downloading flow
Add more power to the chunk_received function (renamed to data_received)
and also to the fragment_finish function.

The data_received function must parse/decrypt the data if necessary and
also push it using the new push_buffer function that is exposed now. The
default implementation gets data from the stream adapter (all available)
and pushes it.

The fragment_finish function must also advance the fragment. The default
implementation only advances the fragment.

This allows the subsegment handling in dashdemux to continuously download
the same file from the server instead of stopping at every subsegment
boundary and starting a new request
