Kacper Michajłow e27ad5760c avformat/hls: rebase seek discard threshold to each playlist's DTS baseline
After a seek, hls_read_packet drops packets until each playlist reaches
seek_timestamp. That threshold lives on c->first_timestamp's baseline,
i.e. the DTS of whichever stream produced the very first packet. Streams
can have different DTS baselines though. So comparing one stream's
threshold against another stream's DTS is wrong. A stream whose first
keyframe precedes the global baseline gets its segment keyframe dropped
and resumes a segment (or more) late.

Track the first DTS per playlist and rebase the threshold onto each
playlist's own baseline. Since HLS segments are presentation-aligned
across renditions, every stream then resumes at the same presentation
time. seek_timestamp keeps its meaning on the global timeline, only the
per-playlist comparison value is translated.

This fixes playlists that would be unable to play from the start, and
instead skip one or more segments, before data is output.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
