- Format can represent both container and sample formats.
If a container contains a single track (as is true in
DASH and SmoothStreaming) then the container Format can
also contain sufficient information about the samples
to allow for track selection. This avoids the Format to
MediaFormat conversions that we were previously doing in
ChunkSource implementations.
- One important result of this change is that adaptive
format evaluation and static format selection now use the
same format objects, which is a whole lot less confusing
for someone who wants to implement both initial selection
and subsequent adaptation logic. It's not in the V2 doc,
but it may well make sense if the TrackSelector not only
selects the tracks to enable for an adaptive playback, but
also injects a FormatEvaluator when enabling them that will
control the subsequent adaptive selections. That would make
it so that all format selection logic originates from the
same place.
- As part of this change, the adaptiveX variables are removed
from the format object; they don't really correspond to a
single format. This also saves on having to inject the max
video dimensions through a bunch of classes.
