If there is an external source which is about to timeout and be removed
from the source hashtable and we receive feedback RTCP packet with the
media ssrc of the source, we unlock the session in
rtp_session_process_feedback before emitting 'on-feedback-rtcp' signal
allowing rtcp timer to kick in and grab the lock. It will get rid of
the source and rtp_session_process_feedback will be left with RTPSource
with ref count 0.
The fix is to grab the ref to the RTPSource object in
rtp_session_process_feedback.

Whenever got new moov or new stream-start,
demux will try to expose new pad by following rule.
Comparing stream-id in the current moov with previous one, then
* If matched stream-id is found from previous one,

* Otherwise, expose new pad with new stream-start
* No more used stream will be freed

ULP FEC, as defined in RFC 5109, has the protected and protection
packets sharing the same ssrc, and a different payload type, and
implies rewriting the seqnums of the protected stream when encoding
the protection packets. This has the unfortunate drawback of not
being able to tell whether a lost packet was a protection packet.
rtpbasedepayload relies on gaps in the seqnums to set the DISCONT
flag on buffers it outputs. Before that commit, this created two
problems:
* The protection packets don't make it as far as the depayloader,
which means it will mark buffers as DISCONT every time the previous
packets were protected
* While we could work around the previous issue by looking at
the protection packets ignored and dropped in rtpptdemux, we
would still mark buffers as DISCONT when a FEC packet was lost,
as we cannot know that it was indeed a FEC packet, even though
this should have no impact on the decoding of the stream
With this commit, we consider that when using ULPFEC, gaps in
the seqnums are not a reliable indicator of whether buffers should
be marked as DISCONT or not, and thus rewrite the seqnums on
the decoding side as well to form a perfect sequence, this
obviously doesn't prevent the jitterbuffer from doing its job
as the ulpfec decoder is downstream from it.

This reverts commit af273b4de9.
While RFC 3264 (SDP) says that sendonly/recvonly are from the point of view of
the requester, the actual RTSP RFCs (RFC 2326 / 7826) disagree and say
the opposite, just like the ONVIF standard.
Let's follow those RFCs as we're doing RTSP here, and add a property at
a later time if needed to switch to the SDP RFC behaviour.

After a CAPS event, in theory a new stream can start and it might start
with the FLAC headers again. We can't detect FLAC headers in the middle
of the stream, so we drain the parser to be able to detect either FLAC
headers after the CAPS event or the continuation of the previous stream.

This exposes a new property, mtu, which is used to determine the
initial size of buffers from the buffer pool. If received data
exceeds this, the element gracefully handles that in a manner similar

at the next call to "fill".
The default size is set to 1500, which should cover most use cases.

The samples table is sorted by DTS, not PTS. As such we can only get the
correct result when using a binary search on it, if we search for the
DTS.
Also if we only ever search for the frame, where the following frame is
the first one with a PTS after the search position, we will generally
stop searching too early if frames are reordered.
In forwards playback this is not really a problem (after the decoder
reordered the frames, clipping is happening), in reverse playback
it means that we can output one or more frames too few as we stop too
early and the decoder would never receive it.

Fix compilation with MSVC. We still assume that attribute

This works around a bug in various ONVIF cameras that implement the

It restores pre-1.14 behaviour where we would fail to preroll on any SDP

All received configurations are parsed and added to a list, this lead
to an unbounded memory usage. As the configuration is resent every
second this quickly lead to a large memory usage.
Add a check to only add the config if it is not already available in
the list. This fix only handle the typical case of a well behaved
stream, a malicious server could still send many useless
configurations to raise the client memory usage.
The smallest possible is 24 (and not 25) bytes.
The last "name" field can according to QTFF specifications not be present

We can't handle recvonly streams, sendonly streams are perfectly fine.
The direction is the one from the point of view of the SDP offerer
(i.e. the RTSP server), and a recvonly stream would be one where the
server expects us to send media.
RFC 3264, section 5.1:
If the offerer wishes to only send media on a stream to its peer, it
MUST mark the stream as sendonly with the "a=sendonly" attribute.
This is mixed up in the ONVIF streaming specification examples, but
actual implementations and conformance tools seem to not care at all
about the attributes.

Raw AAC streams might have very small frames, e.g. 6 byte frames
when encoding silence. These frames are then smaller than aacparse's
default min_frame_size of 10 bytes (ADTS_MAX_SIZE).
When passthrough is disabled or aacparse has to output ADTS, GstBaseParse
will concatenate these short frames to the following frame before
handling them to aacparse, which processes each input buffer as a single
frame, producing bad output.
To avoid this problem, set the min_frame_size to 1 when receiving a raw
stream.

When the signal returns a floating reference, as its return type
is transfer full, we need to sink it ourselves before passing
it to gst_bin_add (which is transfer floating).
This allows us to unref it in bin_remove_element later on, and
thus to also release the reference we now own if the signal
returns a non-floating reference as well.
As we now still hold a reference to the element when removing it,
we also need to lock its state and setting it to NULL before
unreffing it

TOC support in mastroskamux has been deactivated for a couple of years. This commit updates it to recent GstToc evolutions and introduces toc unit tests for both matroska-mux and matroska-demux.
There are two UIDs for Chapters in Matroska's specifications:
- The ChapterUID is a mandatory unsigned integer which internally refers to a given chapter. Except for title & language which use dedicated fields, this UID can also be used to add tags to the Chapter. The tags come in a separate section of the container.
- The ChapterStringUID is an optional UTF-8 string which also uniquely refers to a chapter but from an external perspective. It can act as a "WebVTT cue identifier" which "can be used to reference a specific cue, for example from script or CSS".
During muxing, the ChapterUID is generated and checked for unicity, while the ChapterStringUID receives the user defined UID. In order to be able to refer to chapters from the tags section, we maintain an internal Toc tree with the generated ChapterUID.
When demuxing, the ChapterStringUIDs (if available) are assigned to the GstTocEntries UIDs and an internal toc mimicking the toc is used to keep track of the ChapterUIDs and match the tags with the appropriate GstTocEntries.

If we saw empty segments, we previously unconditionally pushed a
GAP event downstream regardless of the duration of that empty
segment.
In order to avoid issues with initial negotiation of downstream elements
(which would negotiate to something before receiving any data due to
that initial GAP event), check if there's at least a second of difference
(like we do for other GAP-related checks in qtdemux) before
deciding to push a GAP event downstream.
Otherwise baseparse will incrementally send us bigger buffers until the
full header size is reached, which is not only pointless but also means
that baseparse will reallocate and copy into a bigger buffer for every
input buffers. In pull mode that's done in 64kb increments, in push mode
usually in much smaller increments, causing a lot of overhead for
example when parsing high-quality coverart.
When receiving a seek event, check whether we can actually seek based
on the information the server provided.
Also add more documentation on what the seekable field means
If a reserved-max-duration is set, we should always track
and update the reserved-duration-remaining estimate, even
if we're not sending periodic moov updates downstream for
full robust muxing.
If the use-robust-muxing property is set, check if the
assigned muxer has reserved-max-duration and
reserved-duration-remaining properties, and if so set
the configured maximum duration to the reserved-max-duration
property, and monitor the remaining space to start
a new file if the reserved header space is about to run out -
even though it never ought to.
Switching to a new fragment because the input caps have

Only for byte-stream or hev1. For hvc1 the SPS/PPS are in the
caps as codec_data field and in this case they shouldn't be in
the stream data as well. The output caps should be updated with
the new codec_data if needed, for hvc1.
We keep the boolean byte_stream around since it's nicer for
readability and most of the code just cares about byte_stream
or not. This is useful for future-proofing the code for when
we add support for hev1 output as well.
This would happen if input is byte-stream with four-byte
sync markers instead of three-byte ones. The code that
scans for sync markers will place the start of the NALU
on the third-last byte of the NALU sync marker, which
means that any additional zeros may be counted as belonging
to the previous NALU instead of being part of the next sync
marker. Fix that so we don't send VPS/SPS/PPS with trailing
zeros in this case.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732758
There is no difference between pushing out a buffer directly
with gst_rtp_base_depayload_push() and returning it from the
process function. The base class will just call _depayload_push()
on the returned buffer as well.
So instead of marshalling buffers through three layers and back,
just push them from one place in handle_nal() and always return
NULL from the process vfunc. This simplifies the code a little.
Also rename _push_fragmentation_unit() to _finish_fragmentation_unit()
for clarity. Push sounds like it means being pushed out, whereas
it might just be pushed into an adapter.
This change has the side-effect that multiple NALs in a single STAP
(such as SPS/PPS) may no longer be pushed out as a single buffer if
we output NALs in byte-stream format (i.e. not aggregate AUs), but
that shouldn't really make any difference to anyone.
This would happen if input is byte-stream with four-byte
sync markers instead of three-byte ones. The code that
scans for sync markers will place the start of the NALU
on the third-last byte of the NALU sync marker, which
means that any additional zeros may be counted as belonging
to the previous NALU instead of being part of the next sync
marker. Fix that so we don't send SPS/PPS with trailing
zeros in this case.

Timestamp offsets needs to be checked to detect unrealistic values
caused for example by NTP clocks not in sync. The new parameter
max-ts-offset lets the user decide an upper offset limit. There
are two different cases for checking the offset based on if
ntp-sync is used or not:
1) ntp-sync enabled
Only negative offsest are allowed since a positive offset would
mean that the sender and receiver clocks are not in sync.
Default vaule of max-ts-offset = 0 (disabled)
2) ntp-sync disabled
Both positive and negative offsets are allowed.
Default vaule of max-ts-offset = 3000000000
The reason for different default values is to be backwards
compatible.

Callers of the API (rtpsource, rtpjitterbuffer) pass clock_rate

We currently send data to the RTSP connection from multiple threads:

As such, protect gst_rtsp_connection_send() and gst_rtsp_connection_receive()
calls with a mutex. While this means that we hold a mutex during the IO
operation, this is not actually a problem as the IO operation can be
interrupted (gst_rtsp_connection_flush()) at any time and is blocking by
itself anyway.
The last entry will most likely get new samples added to it in "robust"
muxing mode, changing the samples_per_chunk and thus making it wrong to
