During a live stream it is possible for dashdemux to lag behind on a
slow connection or to rush ahead of the connection os too fast.
For the first case it is necessary to jump some segments ahead to be able to
continue playback as old segments are usually deleted from the server.
For the later, dashdemux should wait a little before attempting another
download do give time to the server to produce a new segment
When using a template based segment list, do not try to
contruct a finite segment list for the limits of the available periods.
We might not know when the period ends (for live streams) and we can
always create the segment on demand when requested by dashdemux,
avoiding use of some memory and cpu when re-creating this list.
Replaces the 2 likely larger lists with more appropriate structures
to improve performance.
Replaces S nodes GList for a GQueue, this reduces latency to startup
because of traversing the list just append an element.
Replaces the processed media segments GList for a GPtrArray as it is
constantly acessed by index during playback.
Cancelled is a 'permanent' state of the uridownloader and is only
removed by a call to _reset. When a download fails we just want to
return NULL on the fetch function and leave the downloader ready
for another fetch, otherwise the user has to call _reset after
failed downloader, even when it didn't call _cancel.
Due to the variety of section types out there, we need to add
some checks when identifying section types.
We check here that the PID is also consistent with the table_id.
We had two issues with the previous code:
1) We were badly handling PUSI-flagged packets. We were discarding the
initial data (if pointer != 0) whereas we should have been accumulating
it with the previous data (if there was a continuity of course).
=> First series of information loss
2) We were not checking whether there were more sections after the end
of one (i.e. when the following byte was not a stuff byte).
This fixes those two issues.
Fixes#677443https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677443
Until now we simply ignored those streams (since we couldn't do anything
with it anyway). Now that we have the mpegts library and we offload the
section handling to the application side we can properly identify and
extract them.
By default it is disabled for tsparse and enabled for tsdemux, but there is
a property to change that.
This should open the way to properly handle all private section streams,
including:
* DSM-CC
* MHEG
* Carousel data
* Metadata streams (though I haven't seen any of those in the wild)
* ... And all other specs/protocols making use of those
Partially fixes#560631
The size checks were wrong. The smallest size for a NIT is 16 bytes
(12 for the smallest content + 4 for crc) and the smallest size for
a inner stream loop is 6 bytes (without any descriptors).
Also remove FIXME that has already moved elsewhere
Add API to parse the Slice header. This also calculates the macroblock
position as specified in 6.3.16.

Migrate the code to use the new parser API based on GstMpegVideoPacket.
Also try to optimize gst_mpegv_parse_process_config() by using more of
GstMpegVideoPacket and determining the extension_start_code_identifier
prior to calling the parser function for that extension packet.

Add new interface to MPEG-2 video parser that takes GstMpegVideoPacket
arguments instead of data, size, and offset. New functions are called
after gst_mpeg_video_packet_*() and provide the default implementation.
Older API is moved to the deprecated namespace and uses the new functions.

Since we now send all sections to the packetizer, we no longer need to do
anymore in-depth checks for the validity of a section.
The choice boils down to:
1) Is it from a known PES pid ? If so pass it on (which might be just pushing
downstream in the case of tsparse, or accumulating PES data for tsdemux)
2) Is it from a known SI pid ? If so pass it to the section packetizer
* Add a base page for the library
* Add pages for the base MPEG-TS section and descriptors
* Add pages for the known variants
* Add documentation on more fields/sections/types
* Remove some fixmes that were ... fixed
We still have some other stream types which haven't been ported, but
we will do so once we have defined the enums in the mpegts library.
Also add some FIXMEs regarding items discovered during analysis
These are the values officially registered in the base specification
(H.222.0/13818-1). Later on we can add other enums for other variants
Note that the enum is not used in the structure fields (such as a pmt
stream stream_type field) since it can contain values from other
variants.
Duration from segment being unknown is a issue from the MPD and not
a programming issue, so the assert isn't useful here. Instead check
and return an error code so the caller can fallback to alternatives
When dashdemux selects its first fragment, it always selects the
first fragment listed in the manifest. For on-demand content,
this is the correct behaviour. However for live content, this
behaviour is undesirable because the first fragment listed in the
manifest might be some considerable time behind "now".
The commit uses the host's idea of UTC and tries to find the
oldest fragment that contains samples for this time of day.

* In order to avoid future clashing between table_id for the various
mpeg-ts variants, use different enums.
* In order to keep everything clean(ish) and allow for cleaner growth,
split into different files (will need the same for descriptors later)
* Also ... implement free functions for all table types :)
According to the MPEG-DASH spec, certain elements (i.e.
SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate, and SegmentList) should inherit
attributes from the same elements in the containing AdaptationSet
or Period.
Updated the SegmentBase, SegmentTemplate, and SegmentList parsers
to properly inherit attributes from the corresponding elements in
AdaptationSet and/or Period.

Convert all xml attribute/content parsing functions to return a
boolean value indicating whether or not the attribute/content was
present. We need this finer-grained control in order to properly
implement the inheritance policies described in the spec
Also fixed several memory leak conditions when handling errors in
the xml attribute/content parsing functions.
