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.

lavf: allow custom IO for all files
Merged-by: Derek Buitenhuis <derek.buitenhuis@gmail.com>
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.
DASH manifest should have framerate specified as an attribute in the
AdaptationSet element and Representation elements. Though ISO/IEC
23009-1:2014 doesn't seem to define frameRate as a required attribute,
it is at least optional, and DASH-IF IOP 3.0 seems to require it. See
section 3.2.4 of http://dashif.org/w/2015/04/DASH-IF-IOP-v3.0.pdf
In the event that avg_frame_rate is not set in the muxer, we ignore the
frameRate tag altogther.

dashenc: Heuristically fill in the duration of packets that need it
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
This avoids that the mp4 muxer does a similar heuristic, adjusting
the timestamps in a way that the dash muxer doesn't know the actual
timestamps written to the file in the end. By making sure that the
mp4 muxer internal heuristic isn't applied, we know the exact
timestamps written to file, so that the timestamps in manifest match
the files.
Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
The mov muxer already supports picking up extradata that wasn't
present during the avformat_write_header call - we just need to
propagate it. Since the dash muxer uses delay_moov, we have time
up until the first segment is written to get extradata filled in.
Also update the codec description string when the extradata becomes
available.

Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
This should be more correct. This also should give more sensible
switching between video streams with different amount of b-frame
delay.
The current dash.js release (1.2.0) fails to start playback of
such files from the start (if the start pts is > 0), but this has
been fixed in the current git version of dash.js.
Also enable the use of edit lists, so that streams in many cases
start at pts=0.

dashenc: Write segment timelines properly if the timeline has gaps
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
This is the same adjustment that the mp4 muxer does to the start
timestamp of fragments, since the timestamp of a sample in an mp4
file is implicit from the sum of earlier sample durations.
This avoids gaps in the timeline (which can stop dash.js from
playing it back), and makes sure the timestamp on the segmenter
level matches what the mp4 muxer actually writes into the segments.
This is only an issue if the AVPacket duration of the last
packet of a segment doesn't point to the actual start timestamp
of the next packet (the first in the next segment).
Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
Write a new start time if the duration of the previous segment
didn't match the start of the next one. Check that segments
actually are continuous before writing a repeat count.
This makes sure timestamps deduced from the timeline actually
match the real start timestamp as written in filenames (if
using a template containing $Time$).

For the last_duration field, it's mostly theoretical, but the
