Previously the minimum buffering threshold was hardcoded to a specific
value (10s). This is suboptimal this an actual value will depend on the actual
stream being played.
This commit sets the low watermark threshold in time to 0, which is an automatic
mode. Subclasses can provide a stream `recommended_buffering_threshold` when
update_stream_info() is called.
Currently implemented for HLS, where we recommended 1.5 average segment
duration. This will result in buffering being at 100% when the 2nd segment has
been downloaded (minus a bit already being consumed downstream)

These values will be referred to as timestamp relative to period start
so need to subtract period start time from the values.
Fixes a problem with determining the start position when playing Live content
with SegmentTimeline, presentationTimeOffset and a non-0 period start time.

Change the way streams are woken up to download more data.
Instead of checking the level on tracks that are being
output as data is dequeued, calculate a 'wakeup time'
at which it should download more data, and wake up
the stream when the global output position crosses
that threshold.
For efficiency, compute the earliest wakeup time
for all streams and store it on the period, so the
output loop can quickly check only a single value
to decide if something needs waking up.
Does the same buffering as the previous method,
but ensures that as we approach the end of
one period, the next period continues incrementally
downloading data so that it is fully buffered when
the period starts.
Fixes issues with multi-period VOD content where
download of the second period resumes only after
the first period is completely drained.

Some servers can return playlists with "old" media playlists and different
Discont Sequence.
In those cases, the segment stream times would be negative when creating a new
time mapping. In order to properly handle such scenarios, shift the values to
stored accordingly to end up with non-negative reference stream time.

When advancing fragment in live, it's normal to return
GST_FLOW_EOS when playing at the live edge of the available
fragments. In that case, we still want to adjust bitrate
dynamically.
Fixes issue with dashdemux2 where the current bitrate of
each adaptation set is changed to the lowest one when
updating the mpd for a live stream.

Just like for the seconds field, there are no limitations on the hours and
minutes fields. The specification for xml schema duration fields doesn't forbid
specifying durations with only (huge) minutes or hours values.

When updating a manifest during live playback, preserve the current
representation for each stream.
During update_fragment_info, if the current representation changed
because it couldn't be matched, trigger a caps change and new
header download.
This reverts commit e0e1db212f
and reapplies "dashdemux: Fix issue when manifest update sets slow start
without passing necessary header & caps changes downstream" with
changes.

libsoup 3.0.x dispatches using a single source attached when the session
is created, so we need to create the session with the same context that
our download thread is later using.
2.74 or 3.1 will dispatch a response using the context which sent the
request. However, for any context other than the one that created the
session, this will also create and destroy sources, so there's still
some slight performance benefit.

Handle select-streams and seek events in an element
level send_event() vfunc, so they can be received
before any source pads are created.
This allows preferred streams to be selected before
segment downloading starts.

When playing live, it's possible that one stream reaches
the end of the available playback window and goes to sleep
waiting for a manifest update, and the manifest update
introduces a new period. In that case, the sleeping
stream needs to wake up and go 'properly' EOS before we
can advance the input to the new period.
Accordingly, make sure that a stream's last_ret value
is not marked as EOS if it's just sleeping waiting for a live
manifest update.
Also fix the output loop to go back and re-check if it's
time to switch to the next period after dequeuing and
discarding an EOS event.

When returning GST_ADAPTIVE_DEMUX_FLOW_RESTART_FRAGMENT
for the first segment data, we might need to requeue the

Media playlist updates and fragment downloads happen in an interleaved
fashion. When a media playlist update fails *while* a segment is being
downloaded, this means we lost synchronization.
Properly propagate and handle this
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
There is now only a single case where we setup the initial playlist to 0, which
is for the very first variant stream.
Rendition streams will have the initial playlist "synchronized" against the
variant stream media playlist.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
Loss of synchronization happens when the updated media playlist has no
relationship to the previous ones. This could happen because of network issues,
server issues, etc...
When this happens, we take no chance and "reset" ourselves so that we can "seek
back to live" against the new updated playlists.
Since this happens at the "media playlist update" level, make sure the custom
flow return is propagated up.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2839>
We are already in the main scheduler thread, therefore we can do the "seek back
to live" directly. This also avoids other pending actions to take place.
Also handle the loss of sync when doing manifest updates.

Close some race conditions in switching to the next period,
by ensuring the tracks are completely drained first and by
not outputting EOS events to the output source pad
if there is another period pending.
Fixes Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd some more.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2838>
Before sending EOS, update the period's has_next_period
flag and/or create the next period. This closes a race
where the output loop might receive the EOS event
and either push it downstream (causing premature EOS),
or receive it and try and switch to the next period
before that period is completely set up.

When combining stream flows, ignore streams that
are not selected, instead of checking whether
the stream state has changed yet.
Fixes another issue with dashdemux2 where it fails to
change to the next period when playing content with
several video, audio and text streams, as with
Manifest_MultiPeriod_1080p.mpd when seeking to 730
just before the end of the first period.

* When dealing with rendition streams, we attempt to synchronize the media
playlist against the variant stream. This helps with speeding up the correct
initial fragment search and avoids issues when streams at activated at a much
later time.
* Also add checks for variant stream existence before attempting to use them

When updating playlists, there is a possibility that the playlists don't
perfectly align, but the last entry of the previous playlist is *just* before
the first entry of the new playlist.
In those cases, we still can transfer the timing information from one playlist
to another, but we do not want to return that segment as being the matching one.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
When matching playlists, there is a possibility that rendition streams will not
have been updated in time (for example because that stream started later, or
playback was paused). This would cause several playback failures and seeking
failures.
In order to still fall back on our feet, attempt to synchronize that rendition
playlist against the current variant playlist. This will attempt to match the
stream time using SN/DNS/PDT/...

If we have been updating too slowly and have gone out of the current live
window, inform the baseclass accordingly.
This is different from the case where we have been updating quicker than what
the server provides.

* Since only flushing seeks are allowed, the "current" position is always the
global output position (and not "some" stream current position).
* In terms of figuring out to which stream to "snap" to, we can send it to any
selected stream. Removes the requirement of this function to a specific output
pad.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
Remove the "pending advance" hack and instead rely on the base stream current
position to track our position (instead of a potentially NULL "current
segment").
Also ensure the media playlists are always refreshed with valid stream time,
even if there is no current segment.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
The stream start and current position would be properly set when seeking or
activating a stream after playback started. But it would never be properly
initialized.
Set it to NONE initially to indicate to subclasses that no position has been
tracked yet. This will allow them to detect initial stream usage.
Futhermore, once the initial streams setup is done, make sure that it is set to
a valid initial value:
* The minimum stream time in live
* Or else the period start
Part-of: <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/2679>
Some mpeg-ts streams have extra data at the beginning. While it's not ideal, we
should be able to cope with it.
Therefore increase the initial search window for at least 4 consecutive
synchronization points to 1kB.

RFC 8216 6.3.3 "Playing the Media Playlist File" : states that for live media
playlists "the client SHOULD NOT choose a segment that starts less than three
target durations from the end of the Playlist file"
This is an off-by-one error. Since we are looking for the "index" of the
segment, we need to subtract 1 from the searched position.
Ex: For a playlist with 12 entries, we want to start playback on the 9th segment
... which is at index 8.

GLib guarantees libintl is always present, using proxy-libintl as

This provides new HLS, DASH and MSS adaptive demuxer elements as a single plugin.
These elements offer many improvements over the legacy elements. They will only
work within a streams-aware context (`urisourcebin`, `uridecodebin3`,
`decodebin3`, `playbin3`, ...).
Stream selection and buffering is handled internally, this allows them to
directly manage the elementary streams and stream selection.
