HLS demuxer calls the subdemuxer avformat_find_stream_info() while
overriding the subdemuxer AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER flag by clearing it.
However, this prevents some streams in some MPEG TS streams from being
detected properly.
Simply removing the clearing of the flag would cause the inner
avformat_find_stream_info() call to take longer in some cases, without
a way to control it.
To fix the issue, do not clear the flag but propagate it to HLS demuxer.
To avoid the above-mentioned mandatory delay, the call to
avformat_find_stream_info() is dropped except in the HLS ID3 timestamped
case. The HLS demuxer user should be calling avformat_find_stream_info()
on the HLS demuxer if it wants to find the stream info.
The main streams are now created dynamically after read_header time if
the subdemuxer uses AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER (mpegts).
Subdemuxer avformat_find_stream_info() is still called for the HLS ID3
timestamped case as the HLS demuxer needs to know the packet durations
to properly interleave ID3 timestamped streams with MPEG TS streams on
sub-segment level.
Fixes ticket #4930.
Creation of main demuxer streams from subdemuxer streams is moved to
update_streams_from_subdemuxer() which can be called repeatedly.
There should be no functional changes.
Commit 81306fd4bdf ("hls: eliminate ffurl_* usage", merged in d0fc5de3a6)
changed the hls demuxer to use AVIOContext instead of URLContext for its
HTTP requests.
HLS demuxer uses the "offset" option of the http demuxer, requesting
the initial file offset for the I/O (http URLProtocol uses the "Range:"
HTTP header to try to accommodate that).
However, the code in libavformat/aviobuf.c seems to be doing its own
accounting for the current file offset (AVIOContext.pos), with the
assumption that the initial offset is always zero.
HLS demuxer does an explicit seek after open_url to account for cases
where the "offset" was not effective (due to the URL being a local file
or the HTTP server not obeying it), which should be a no-op in case the
file offset is already at that position.
However, since aviobuf.c code thinks the starting offset is 0, this
doesn't work properly.
This breaks retrieval of ranged media segments.
To fix the regression, just drop the seek call from the HLS demuxer when
the HTTP(S) protocol is used.
This reverts commit 9f9ed79d4c.
The hlsopts member was never set anywhere and always NULL, furthermore
the HLS demuxer needs to retrieve the proper options from the underlying
http protocol (cookies, user-agent, etc), so a dummy context won't help.
Instead, use the AVIOContext directly to access the options.
Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
This also deprecates our old duplicated callbacks.

Some (de)muxers open additional files beyond the main IO context.
Currently, they call avio_open() directly, which prevents the caller
from using custom IO for such streams.
This commit adds callbacks to AVFormatContext that default to
avio_open2()/avio_close(), but can be overridden by the caller. All
muxers and demuxers using AVIO are switched to using those callbacks
instead of calling avio_open()/avio_close() directly.
(de)muxers that use the URLProtocol layer directly instead of AVIO
remain unconverted for now. This should be fixed in later commits.
Without EXT-X-MAP support we miss the first bytes of some streams.
These streams worked by luck before byte-ranged segment support was added in

Fixes ticket #4797.
Commit ad701326b4 ("avformat/hls: open playlists immediately when
AVDISCARD_ALL is dropped") inadvertently caused first_packet to never be
cleared, causing select_cur_seq_no() to not use the specific code for
live streams.
In practice this means that when the user selects a different audio
track during live stream (i.e. non-VOD) playback, there may be some
additional delay as the code might select an incorrect segment at first,
and we have to wait for video to catch audio (if too late segment was
selected) or to download more following audio segments (if too early
segment was selected).
Fix that by restoring the zeroing of first_packet.
This will give incorrect results in some cases due to not parsing segments
separately, so it currently requires -strict experimental.

If there is no #EXT-X-BYTERANGE specified, there is no need to seek.
Seeking fails anyway for rtmp, because this protocol does not support
url_seek.

Apparently, some live streams can delete segments too early, maybe
because the client is too far behind. In this case, it's better to skip
the segment, instead of returning EOF. (Yes, the HLS demuxer actually
returns AVERROR_EOF if opening the segment returns a 404 HTTP error.)
