When we receive sticky events from upstream, always return TRUE.
Fixes the issue where we receive custom sticky events (such as "uri")
and no pads are created yet.
Since all the other timestamp tracking now gets reset on a discont,
it makes sense to wait for a PCR and timestamp buffers like when
playback first starts
Due to mpegts streaming nature some pads are created but are only added
later to the element. This can cause a scenario where the first stream
doesn't have an available decoder (while the next ones still pending
would have) and tsdemux will fail with not-linked as the first stream
added wouldn't be linked.
To avoid this tsdemux needs to add pads to the flowcombiner
when they are created instead of only when adding them to the
element.
* Search in current pending values first. For CBR streams we can very
easily end up having just one initial observations and then nothing
else (since the bitrate doesn't change).
* Use one group whether we are in that group *OR* if there is only
one group.
* If the group to use isn't closed (points are being accumulated in the
PCROffsetCurrent), use the latest data available for calculation
* If in the unlikelyness that all of this *still* didn't produce more
than one data point, just return the initial offset
While the calculation done in these macros will work with 64bit
integers, they will fail if working with 32bit integers.
Force the scaling up to solve that.
This amazingly didn't introduce major issues up to now, but resulted
in bogus values in debug logs.
Doing a hard flush on the packetizer will drop all observations, which
will eventually break push-based seeking (with BYTES segment) since
we won't know where to seek to anymore (new data would always be
considered as the beginning of the stream).
While this probably should never happen if callers are well behaved,
this avoids a crash if it does. With a warning about it. Unsure if
it'd be better to not add at all, but it should not happen...
Coverity 1139713
gst_ts_demux_push_pending_data() will check if it now can activate the
stream and add the pad, we don't have to check that ourselves.
Fixes playback of very short MPEG TS files.
Apart from just adding detection of the proper stream type, we also need to only
output the first substream (0x71) which contains the core substream.
While this does not provide *full* DTS-HD support (since it will miss the complementary
substreams), it will still work in the way legacy (non-DTS-HD) bluray players would work.

Keep a list of current global tags around and push them
whenever a new stream is started. Also convert all stream
specific tags to global as they are stream specific for
the container, so they are global for the streams from
within that container.

The PAT is related to the stream, we therefore want it cleared along
with anything stream related.
This commented section was from the (old) mpegtsparse and *might* have
been related to speeding up DVB start-up. But we have another plan for that.
Fixes https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724716
The requested TS might be beyond the last observed PCR. In order to calculate
a coherent offset, we need to use the last and previous-to-last groups.

When refactored (leading to the creation of this new plugin), I chose all

fixes this.
It is quite possible that we might get PTS/DTS before the first
PCR/Offset observation.
In order to end up with valid timestamp we wait until at least one
stream was able to get a proper running-time for any PTS/DTS.
Until then, we queue up the pending buffers to push out.
Once we see a first valid timestamp, we re-evaluate the amount of
running-time elapsed (based on returned inital running-time and amount
of data/DTS queued up) for any given stream.
Taking the biggest amount of elapsed time, we set that on the packetizer
as the initial offset and recalculate all pending buffers running-time
PTS/DTS.
Note: The buffer queueing system can also be used later on for the
dvb fast start proposal (where we queue up all stream packets before
seeing PAT/PMT and then push them once we know if they belong to the
chosen program).
This allows:
* Better duration estimation
* More accurate PCR location
* Overall more accurate running-time location and calculation
Location and values of PCR are recorded in groups (PCROffsetGroup)
with notable PCR/Offset observations in them (when bitrate changed
for example). PCR and offset are stored as 32bit values to
reduce memory usage (they are differences against that group's
first_{pcr|offset}.
Those groups each contain a global PCR offset (pcr_offset) which
indicates how far in the stream that group is.
Whenever new PCR values are observed, we store them in a sliding
window estimator (PCROffsetGroupCurrent).
When a reset/wrapover/gap is detected, we close the current group with
current values and start a new one (the pcr_offset of that new group
is also calculated).
When a notable change in bitrate is observed (+/- 10%), we record
new values in the current group. This is a compromise between
storing all PCR/offset observations and none, while at the same time
providing better information for running-time<=>offset calculation
in VBR streams.
Whenever a new non-contiguous group is start (due to seeking for example)
we re-evaluate the pcr_offset of each groups. This allows detecting as
quickly as possible PCR wrapover/reset.
When wanting to find the offset of a certain running-time, one can
iterate the groups by looking at the pcr_offset (which in essence *is*
the running-time of that group in the overall stream).
Once a group (or neighbouring groups if the running-time is between two
groups) is found, once can use the recorded values to find the most
accurate offset.
Right now this code is only used in pull-mode , but could also
be activated later on for any seekable stream, like live timeshift
with queue2.
Future improvements:
* some heuristics to "compress" the stored values in groups so as to keep
the memory usage down while still keeping a decent amount of notable
points.
* After a seek compare expected and obtained PCR/Offset and if the
difference is too big, re-calculate position with newly observed
values and seek to that more accurate position.
Note that this code will *not* provide keyframe-accurate seeking, but
will allow a much more accurate PCR/running-time/offset location on
any random stream.
For past (observed) values it will be as accurate as can be.
For future values it will be better than the current situation.
Finally the more you seek, the more accurate your positioning will be.
The previous code could enter an infinite loop because the adapter state
could get out of sync with its mapped data state after sync was lost.
The code was pretty confusing so it's been rewritten to be clearer.
The easiest way to reproduce the infinite loop is to use the breakmydata
element before tsdemux to trigger a resync.

Some streams had wrong values for the stream_id_extension, make sure
we only remember the valid ones.
For streams with PES_extension_field_length == 0, assume there's nothing
else.
For streams that state they have a TREF extension but don't have enough
data to store it, just assume it was produced by a non-compliant muxer
and skip the remaining data.
Only store remaining data in stream_id_extension_data instead of storing
data we already parse.
If ever we lose sync, we were just checking for the next 0x47 marker ...
which might actually happen within a mpeg-ts packet.
Instead check for 3 repeating 0x47 at the expected packet size interval,
which the same logic we use when we initially look for the packet size.
We were only resetting the first 512 values of the lookup table instead
of the whole 8192.
This resulted in any PCR PID over 0x0200 ... ending up taking the first PCR
table around :(
ATSC ac3 streams are always guaranteed to be AC3 if EAC3 descriptor
is not present
If stream registration id is 'AC-3' then it's also guaranteed to be AC3.
Finally if AC3 descriptor is present it's guaranteed to be AC3.
Only silences a warning, but still.
We know we will not overflow 64 bits, therefore just use direct
multiplication/division instead of the scale method (trims usage from
50 instruction calls to 2/3).
Helps with debugging issues. And also remove unused variable (opcr)
This will also allow us in the future to properly detect:
* random-access location (to enable keyframe observation and
potentially seeking
* discont location (to properly handle resets)
* splice location (to properly handle new stream changes)
The new seek handling re-creates the segment time information once it
has enough information after a seek.
The problem was that we'd completely ignore the requested rate. So store
that and use it in the newly created segment.

The program_number attribute was overloaded, trying to indicate both
the currently playing program, and the program requested via the
"program-number" property. The end result was that setting the
property didn't work (see #690934).
I added a new requested_program_number field rather than reviving the
current_program_number field because it seemed this would result in
fewer changes overall and be less confusing. It breaks symmetry with
the "program-number" property, but it retains parallels with the likes
of program->program_number.
Because gst_ts_demux_reset is called after the properties have been
parsed, requested_program_number is initialised in gst_ts_demux_init.
Whether this is exactly the right place, I don't know.
Setting the program-number property does not affect which program
is actually being demuxed.
Moving the initialization of the program_number from
gst_ts_demux_reset to gst_ts_demux_init seems to fix this issue.

* Avoids handling twice the same seek (can happen with playbin and files
with subtitles)
* Set the sequence number of the segment event to the sequence number of
the seek event that generated it (-1 for the initial one).
The seeking start time is approximated from the seek offset in bytes
using the accumulated PCR observations, so on a VBR stream there might
be a big difference between the actual PCR and the estimated one after
the seek. This might result in a long wait to skip all out of segments
packets.
Instead we just recalculate the new segment to start at the first PTS
after the seek, so that playback starts immediatly.
This is actually a workaround (we'll be skipping the upcoming section)
This will only happen for sections where the beginning is located within
the last 8 bytes of a packet (which is the minimum we need to properly
identify any section beginning).
Later we should figure out a way to store those bytes and mark that
some analysis needs to happen. The probability of this happening is
too low for me to care right now and do that fix. There is a good chance
that section will eventually be repeated and won't end up on such border.
* packet.origts is no longer used since the PCR refactoring done ages ago
* known_packet_size is a duplicate of packet_size != 0
* caps was never used outside of the packetizer
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
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
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
* Only mpeg-ts section packetization remains.
* Improve code to detect duplicated sections as early as possible
* Add FIXME for various issues that need fixing (but are not regressions)

We use add_stream(stream_type:-1) to ensure a programs' PCR Stream is
also taken into account. For most programs this will re-use an
existing ES stream.
So only warn that we are re-adding a stream if it was already present
AND it is not to ensure the PCR stream is taken into account.
Only create subtables when needed. It was previously creating one every
single time ... to check if one was present.
And speed up code to detect whether a subtable was already present or not.
Overall makes section pushing 2 times faster.
In some cases (NIT on highly-populated DVB-C operator for example), there
will be more than one section emitted for the same subtable and version
number.
In order not to lose those updates for the same version number, we checked
against the CRC of the previous section we parsed.
The problem is that, while it made sure we didn't lose any information, it
also meant that if the same section came back (same version, same CRC) later
on we would re-process it, re-parse it and re-emit it.
This version improves on that by keeping a list of previously observed CRC
for identical PID/subtable/version-number and will only process sections if
they really were never seen in the past (as opposed to just before).
On a 30s clip, this brings down the number of NIT section parsing from 4541
down to 663.

First send stream-start, then caps, then segment.
The segment we push is from upstream in push-mode. If we work in pull-mode
then we initialize the base segment to BYTES.

Sync byte scan is incorrect for M2TS streams because the timestamp 4
bytes were not included in the flush size. This can result in an
infinite loop.
Rework the scan code to be clearer and work in all cases.
