As per http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-04#section-5.2,
the initializaton vector (IV) of the AES decryption algorithm should be set to:
- the IV attribute value if present,
- the sequence number otherwise.
Currently, the IV is set once and use over all next media sequences
where the IV attribute is not set. The fix is to use the provided IV if
given or use the current media sequence number.
- It's probably easiest to think of this as a standalone HLS change, which is splitting out the "loading" and "consuming" sides of HlsExtractor and a good structural change in its own right. To do this, HlsExtractorWrapper becomes a final class implementing the consuming side. HlsExtractor becomes an interface defining the loading side.
- The bigger picture is that, hopefully, HlsExtractor will become a lightweight extractor interface that can be used throughout the library. Because it doesn't need to implement the consuming side, we'll save on having to re-implement the consuming side for every extractor (we'll probably need one consuming side implementation for HLS/DASH/SmoothStreaming, and a second one for everything else, both of which will use SampleQueue). It's expected that the HlsExtractor interface will need to change to accommodate all use cases.
- The next step in unification will be to try and have FragmentedMp4Extractor implement HlsExtractor (which will need renaming). Once this is done, I'll try and move the chunk package over to use the HlsExtractor interface.
- This is a step toward hopefully converging HLS and CHUNK packages.
- Add support for encrypted samples.
- Add support for appending from a DataSource.
- The fmp4 extractor was reading from sampleEncryptionData even
for not-encrypted samples, which I'm pretty sure isn't right.
Fixed this. For all encrypted content I've seen, this change
will be a no-op because isEncrypted is always true if there's
an encryptionBox present.
- Made webm extractor only set cryptoInfo if isEncrypted is true.
- Align variable naming in the two extractors, for clarity.
- Rather than returning a map, return a DrmInitData object,
with mapped and non-mapped implementations.
- Include a suitable mimeType to pass to the MediaDrm. Previously
we were incorrectly passing the mimeType of the samples,
where-as MediaDrm expects the container mimeType. Note that
it doesn't matter whether the mimeType starts with "video" or
"audio", hence using video mimeTypes everywhere.
It was possible for a codec input buffer to be filled with two frames' worth of
data, if seekTo was called after populating a buffer, if waitingForKeys was true
and seeking did not trigger a flush. This caused the CryptoInfo to be configured
as if the input buffer contained a large amount of reconfiguration data as
cleartext.
Move resetting waitingForKeys to flushCodec, so that we don't try to read the
next sample from the source until the first one has been consumed or discarded.
Also remove uriIsFullStream. It's not doing anything particularly
useful, so I think it makes sense to remove it from the public API;
it's unlikely anyone is using it.
Issue: #329
For fields encoded using UTF-16 or UTF-16BE charsets when looking for
termination character we have to look for two zero consecutive bytes.
Otherwise, as many characters encoded with UTF-16 or UTF-16BE has one
of their 2 bytes set with the value zero, we will be truncating text
fields.
- Added support for ID3 frames of types GEOB and PRIV.
- GEOB type is commonly used by dynamic ads provider to include in the
stream information about the ads to be played.
- PRIV type is commonly used for time synchronization (example:
synchronizing playback of a live stream and its webvtt captions) and
also by analytics companies to include tracking information in the
stream.
- Added a sample stream from Apple that contains ID3 metadata.
Note: I'm fairly confident that NetworkLoadable.Parser implementations
can live without the inputEncoding being specified. But not completely
100%...

Issue: #56
The return value here assumed that the time being searched for
was beyond the start time of the last segment. This fix also
handles the case where the time is prior to the start of the
first segment.
Clear stale blacklist in getChunkOperation before getting next variant.
This ensures:
1.- Player resilience to failures, always trying to look for a working
playlist that allows player to non stop playback.
2.- High quality blacklisted playlists can be reused in case they go up
after a failure. Player always trying to provide the best user
experience.
Added an expiration time field to playlists blacklisted to allow
Exoplayer to continue playback when playlists that failed were
recovered from a bad state.
In live environments, some times occur that primary encoder stop
working for a while. In that cases, HLS failover mechanism in the
player should detect the situation and “switch” to playlists served by
the backup encoder (in case a backup encoder exists). This was well
managed before these changes.
However, and to ensure a playback experience that can recover itself
from temporary issues, we cannot blacklist a playlist forever. When
streaming live events using HLS, it is quite typical that the player
needs to switch from primary to backup playlists, and from backup to
primary ones, from time to time to have playback working when temporary
issues in the network/encoder are happening. Most of the issues are
recoverable, so what I have implemented is a mechanism that makes
blacklisted playlist to be available again after a while (60 seconds).
Evaluation of this algorithm should happen just when something fails.
If player is working with a backup playlist, it shouldn’t switch to the
primary one at least something fail.
