We use the metadata provided by youtube-dl to sort-of implement
fragmented DASH streaming.
This is all a bit hacky, but hopefully a makeshift solution until
libavformat has proper mechanisms. (Although in danger of being one
of those temporary hacks that become permanent.)

This was excessively useless, and I want my time back that was needed to
explain users why they don't want to use it.
It captured the byte stream only, and even for types of streams it was
designed for (like transport streams), it was rather questionable.
As part of the removal, un-inline demux_run_on_thread() (which has only
1 call-site now), and sort of reimplement --stream-dump to write the
data directly instead of using the removed capture code.
(--stream-dump is also very useless, and I struggled coming up with an
explanation for it in the manpage.)

Disabling cache readahead by default until at least 1 track is selected
is mainly for external files and such, where you don't want them to use
up resources until they're actually used.
It doesn't make sense to disable the cache for the demuxer opened for
prefetch. Also, it's fine to let it do that for the main file too (doing
or not doing it is of little consequence). That saves us from having to
distinguish them.

Don't access MPOpts directly, and always use the new m_config.h
functions for accessing them in a thread-safe way.
The goal is eventually removing the mpv_global.opts field, and the
demuxer/stream-layer specific hack that copies MPOpts to deal with
thread-safety issues.
This moves around a lot of options. For one, we often change the
physical storage location of options to make them more localized,
but these changes are not user-visible (or should not be). For
shared options on the other hand it's better to do messy direct
access, which is worrying as in that somehow renaming an option
or changing its type would break code reading them manually,
without causing a compilation error.

This is for text subtitles. libavformat currently always reads text
subtitles completely on init. This means the underlying stream is
useless and will consume resources for various reasons (network
connection, file handles, cache memory).
Take care of this by closing the underlying stream if we think the
demuxer has read everything. Since libavformat doesn't export whether it
did (or whether it may access the stream again in the future), we rely
on a whitelist. Also, instead of setting the stream to NULL or so, set
it to an empty dummy stream. This way we don't have to litter the code
with NULL checks.
demux_lavf.c needs extra changes, because it tries to do clever things
for the sake of subtitle charset conversion.
The main reason we keep the demuxer etc. open is because we fell for
libavformat being so generic, and we tried to remove corresponding
special-cases in the higher-level player code. Some of this is forced
due to ass/srt mkv/mp4 demuxing being very similar to external text
files. In the future it might be better to do this in a more
straight-forward way, such as reading text subtitles into libass and
then discarding the demuxer entirely, but for aforementioned reasons
this could be more of a mess than the solution introduced by this
commit.
Probably fixes #3456.

Cleaner and makes it easier to change the underlying stream.
mp_property_stream_capture() still directly accesses it directly via
demux_run_on_thread(). This is evil, but still somewhat sane and is not
getting into the way here.
Not sure if I got all field accesses.

...and ignore it. The main purpose is for retrieving per-track
replaygain tags. Other than that per-track tags are not used or accessed
by the playback core yet.
The demuxer infrastructure is still not really good with that whole
synchronization thing (at least in part due to being inherited from
mplayer's single-threaded architecture). A convoluted mechanism is
needed to transport the tags from demuxer thread to user thread. Two
factors contribute to the complexity: tags can change during playback,
and tracks (i.e. struct sh_stream) are not duplicated per thread.
In particular, we update the way replaygain tags are retrieved. We first
try to use per-track tags (common in Matroska) and global tags
(effectively formats like mp3). This part fixes #3405.

Remove the explicit whitelisting of formats for refresh seeks. Instead,
check whether the packet position is somewhat reliable during demuxing.
If there are packets without position, or the packet position is not
monotonically increasing, then do not use them for refresh seeks.
This does not make sure of some requirements, such as deterministic
seeks. If that happens, mpv will mess up a bit on stream switching.
Also, add another method that uses DTS to identify packets, and prefer
it to the packet position method. Even if there's a demuxer which
randomizes packet positions, it hardly can do that with DTS. The DTS
method is not always available either, though. Some formats do not have
a DTS, and others are not always strictly monotonic (possibly due to
libavformat codec parsing and timestamp determination issues).

When switching tracks, we normally have the problem that data gets lost
due to readahead buffering. (Which in turn is because we're stubborn and
instruct the demuxers to discard data on unselected streams.) The
demuxer layer has a hack that re-reads discarded buffered data if a
stream is enabled mid-stream, so track switching will seem instant.
A somewhat similar problem is when all tracks of an external files were
disabled - when enabling the first track, we have to seek to the target
position.
Handle these with the same mechanism. Pass the "current time" to the
demuxer's stream switch function, and let the demuxer figure out what to
do. The demuxer will issue a refresh seek (if possible) to update the
new stream, or will issue a "normal" seek if there was no active stream
yet.
One case that changes is when a video/audio stream is enabled on an
external file with only a subtitle stream active, and the demuxer does
not support rrefresh seeks. This is a fuzzy case, because subtitles are
sparse, and the demuxer might have skipped large amounts of data. We
used to seek (and send the subtitle decoder some subtitle packets
twice). This case is sort of obscure and insane, and the fix would be
questionable, so we simply don't care.
Should mostly fix #3392.

This pause stuff is bothersome and is needed only for a few corner-
cases. This commit removes it from the demuxer public API and replaces
it with a demux_run_on_thread() function and refactors the code which
needed demux_pause(). The next commit will change the implementation.

Ever since a change in mplayer2 or so, relative seeks were translated to
absolute seeks before sending them to the demuxer in most cases. The
only exception in current mpv is DVD seeking.
Remove the SEEK_ABSOLUTE flag; it's not the implied default. SEEK_FACTOR
is kept, because it's sometimes slightly useful for seeking in things
like transport streams. (And maybe mkv files without duration set?)
DVD seeking is terrible because DVD and libdvdnav are terrible, but
mostly because libdvdnav is terrible. libdvdnav does not expose seeking
with seek tables. (Although I know xbmc/kodi use an undocumented API
that is not declared in the headers by dladdr()ing it - I think the
function is dvdnav_jump_to_sector_by_time().) With the current mpv
policy if not giving a shit about DVD, just revert our half-working seek
hacks and always use dvdnav_time_search(). Relative seeking might get
stuck sometimes; in this case --hr-seek=always is recommended.

This uses a different method to piece segments together. The old
approach basically changes to a new file (with a new start offset) any
time a segment ends. This meant waiting for audio/video end on segment
end, and then changing to the new segment all at once. It had a very
weird impact on the playback core, and some things (like truly gapless
segment transitions, or frame backstepping) just didn't work.
The new approach adds the demux_timeline pseudo-demuxer, which presents
an uniform packet stream from the many segments. This is pretty similar
to how ordered chapters are implemented everywhere else. It also reminds
of the FFmpeg concat pseudo-demuxer.
The "pure" version of this approach doesn't work though. Segments can
actually have different codec configurations (different extradata), and
subtitles are most likely broken too. (Subtitles have multiple corner
cases which break the pure stream-concatenation approach completely.)
To counter this, we do two things:
- Reinit the decoder with each segment. We go as far as allowing
concatenating files with completely different codecs for the sake
of EDL (which also uses the timeline infrastructure). A "lighter"
approach would try to make use of decoder mechanism to update e.g.
the extradata, but that seems fragile.
- Clip decoded data to segment boundaries. This is equivalent to
normal playback core mechanisms like hr-seek, but now the playback
core doesn't need to care about these things.
These two mechanisms are equivalent to what happened in the old
implementation, except they don't happen in the playback core anymore.
In other words, the playback core is completely relieved from timeline
implementation details. (Which honestly is exactly what I'm trying to
do here. I don't think ordered chapter behavior deserves improvement,
even if it's bad - but I want to get it out from the playback core.)
There is code duplication between audio and video decoder common code.
This is awful and could be shareable - but this will happen later.
Note that the audio path has some code to clip audio frames for the
purpose of codec preroll/gapless handling, but it's not shared as
sharing it would cause more pain than it would help.

This slightly changes behavior when seeking with external audio/subtitle
tracks if transport streams and mpeg files are played, as well as
behavior when seeking with such external tracks.
get_main_demux_pts() is evil because it always blocks on the demuxer (if
there isn't already a packet queued). Thus it could lock up the player,
which is a shame because all other possible causes have been removed.
The reduced "precision" when seeking in the ts/mpeg cases (where
SEEK_FACTOR is used, resulting in byte seeks instead of timestamp seeks)
might lead to issues. We should probably drop this heuristic. (It was
introduced because there is no other way to seek in files with PTS
resets with libavformat, but its value is still questionable.)

The demuxer infrastructure was originally single-threaded. To make it
suitable for multithreading (specifically, demuxing and decoding on
separate threads), some sort of tripple-buffering was introduced. There
are separate "struct demuxer" allocations. The demuxer thread sets the
state on d_thread. If anything changes, the state is copied to d_buffer
(the copy is protected by a lock), and the decoder thread is notified.
Then the decoder thread copies the state from d_buffer to d_user (again
while holding a lock). This avoids the need for locking in the
demuxer/decoder code itself (only demux.c needs an internal, "invisible"
lock.)
Remove the streams/num_streams fields from this tripple-buffering
schema. Move them to the internal struct, and protect them with the
internal lock. Use accessors for read access outside of demux.c.
Other than replacing all field accesses with accessors, this separates
allocating and adding sh_streams. This is needed to avoid race
conditions. Before this change, this was awkwardly handled by first
initializing the sh_stream, and then sending a stream change event. Now
the stream is allocated, then initialized, and then declared as
immutable and added (at which point it becomes visible to the decoder
thread immediately).
This change is useful for PR #2626. And eventually, we should probably
get entirely of the tripple buffering, and this makes a nice first step.

Most of this is explained in the DOCS additions.
This gives us slightly more sanity, because there is less interaction
between the various parts. The goal is getting rid of the video_offset
entirely.
The simplification extends to the user API. In particular, we don't need
to fix missing parts in the API, such as the lack for a seek command
that seeks relatively to the start time. All these things are now
transparent.
(If someone really wants to know the real timestamps/start time, new
properties would have to be added.)

Instead, force everyone to use the metadata struct and set a "title"
field. This is only a problem for the timeline producers, which set up
chapters manually. (They do this because a timeline is a separate
struct.)
This fixes the behavior of the chapter-metadata property, which never
returned a "title" property for e.g. ordered chapters.

Add --demuxer-max-packets and --demuxer-max-bytes, which control the
maximum size of the packet queue. These can be helpful to avoid
excessive memory usage.
Memory usage is the reason why there's a limit in the first place. If a
file is more or less broken, and audio and video don't line up, the
decoders will fill up the packet queue trying to read more audio or
video, and the maximum sizes are required to avoid unbounded memory
allocation. Being able to override the maximum sizes is useful; either
for restricting memory usage further, or enlarging the sizes when
attempting to play various broken files.

Instead of opening a stream and then a demuxer, do both at once with
demux_open_url().
This requires some awkward additions to demuxer_params, because there
are some weird features associated with opening the main file. E.g. the
relatively useless --stream-capture features requires enabling capturing
on the stream before the demuxer is opened, but on the other hand
shouldn't be done on secondary files like external subtitles.
Also relatively bad: since demux_open_url() returns just a demuxer
pointer or NULL, additional error reporting is done via demuxer_params.
Still, at least conceptually, it's ok, and simpler than before.

Nobody wanted to restore this, so it gets the boot.
If anyone still wants to volunteer to restore menu support, this would
be welcome. (I might even try it myself if I feel masochistic and like
wasting a lot of time for nothing.) But if it does get restored, it
should be done differently. There were many stupid things about how it
was done. For example, it somehow tried to pull mp_nav_events through
all the layers (including needing to "buffer" them in the demuxer),
which was needlessly complicated. It could be done simpler.
This code was already inactive, so this commit actually changes nothing.
Also keep in mind that normal DVD/BD playback still works.

The options don't change, but they're now declared and used privately by
demux_mkv.c. This also brings with it a minor refactor of the subpreroll
seek handling - merge the code from playloop.c into demux_mkv.c. The
change in demux.c is pretty much equivalent as well.

Check async abort notification. libavformat already do something
equivalent.
Before this commit, the demuxer could enter resync mode (and print silly
warning messages) when the stream stopped returning data because of an
abort.

Includes some logic for not starting the demuxer thread for fully read
subtitles. (Well, the cache will still waste _lots_ of resources, and
the cache always has to be created, because we don't know whether it'll
be needed _before_ opening the file.)

The Matroska timeline code was the only thing which still used the
demuxer.type field. This field explicitly identifies a demuxer
implementation. The purpose of the Matroska timeline code was to reject
files that are not Matroska. But it already forces the Matroska format,
meaning loading will explicitly only use the Matroska demuxer. If the
demuxer can't open the file, no other demuxer will be tried, and thus
checking the field is redundant.
The change in demux_mkv_timeline.c removes the if condition, and
unindents the if body.

Only demux_cue and demux_edl used it. It's a weird field and doesn't
help with anything anymore - by now, it only saves a priv context in the
mentioned demuxers. Reducing the number of confusing things the demuxer
struct has is more important than minimizing the code.

Instead of accessing MPContext in player/timeline/*, create a separate
context struct, which the timeline loaders fill out. It turns out that
there's not much in the way too big MPContext that these need to access.
One major PITA is managing (and closing) the set of open demuxers. The
problem is that we need a list of all demuxers to make sure no unneeded
streams are enabled.
This adds a callback to the demuxer_desc struct, with the intention of
leaving to to the demuxer to call the right loader, instead of
explicitly checking the demuxer type and dispatching manually in common
code. I also considered making the timeline part of the demuxer state,
but decided against: it's too much of a mess wrt. memory management and
threading, and also doesn't make it clear who owns the child demuxers.
With the struct timeline decoupled from the demuxer state, it's at least
somewhat clear that the child demuxers are independent from the "main"
demuxer.
The actual changes to player/timeline/* are separated in the following
commits, because they're quite verbose. Some artifacts will be removed
later as soon as there's only 1 timeline loading mechanism.

If the previous subtitle packet is too far back, and the refresh seek
won't pick it up, and the packet never comes again. As a consequence,
the refresh mode was never stopped on the subtitle stream, which caused
all packets to be discarded.
Fix by assuming the file position is monotonically increasing; then it
will resume even if a packet _after_ the intended resume point is
returned. This introduces a new requirement on how the demuxer behaves.
(I'm not sure if mp4 actually satisfies this requirement in all cases.)
Fixes a regression introduced by commit f9f2e1cc.

This removes the delay when switching audio tracks in mkv or mp4 files.
Other formats are not enabled, because it's not clear whether the
demuxers fulfill the requirements listed in demux.h. (Many formats
definitely do not with libavformat.)
Background:
The demuxer packet cache buffers a certain amount of packets. This
includes only packets from selected streams. We discard packets from
other streams for various reasons. This introduces a problem: switching
to a different audio track introduces a delay. The delay is as big as
the demuxer packet cache buffer, because while the file was read ahead
to fill the packet buffer, the process of reading packets also discarded
all packets from the previously not selected audio stream. Once the
remaining packet buffer has been played, new audio packets are available
and you hear audio again.
We could probably just not discard packets from unselected streams. But
this would require additional memory and CPU resources, and also it's
hard to tell when packets from unused streams should be discarded (we
don't want to keep them forever; it'd be a memory leak).
We could also issue a player hr-seek to the current playback position,
which would solve the problem in 1 line of code or so. But this can be
rather slow.
So what we do in this commit instead is: we just seek back to the
position where our current packet buffer starts, and start demuxing from
this position again. This way we can get the "past" packets for the
newly selected stream. For streams which were already selected the
packets are simply discarded until the previous position is reached
again.
That latter part is the hard part. We really want to skip packets
exactly until the position where we left off previously, or we will skip
packets or feed packets to the decoder twice. If we assume that the
demuxer is deterministic (returns exactly the same packets after a seek
to a previous position), then we can try to check whether it's the same
packet as the one at the end of the packet buffer. If it is, we know
that the packet after it is where we left off last time.
Unfortunately, this is not very robust, and maybe it can't be made
robust. Currently we use the demux_packet.pos field as unique packet
ID - which works fine in some scenarios, but will break in arbitrary
ways if the basic requirement to the demuxer (as listed in the demux.h
additions) are broken. Thus, this is enabled only for the internal mkv
demuxer and the libavformat mp4 demuxer.
(libavformat mkv does not work, because the packet positions are not
unique. Probably could be fixed upstream, but it's not clear whether
it's a bug or a feature.)

If a file is unseekable (consider e.g. a http server without resume
functionality), but the stream cache is active, the player will enable
seeking anyway. Until know, client API user couldn't know that this
happens, and it has implications on how well seeking will work. So add a
property which exports whether this situation applies.
Fixes #1522.
