Parse the playlist to recover the start sequence and previously
generated segments and continue muxing from there.
Mainly useful for near-seamless recovery in live scenarios.
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.
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.
The -hls_allow_cache parameter enables explicitly setting the
EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE tag in the manifest file. That tag indicates
whether the client MAY or MUST NOT cache downloaded media
segments for later replay.
Valid values are 1 (=YES) or 0 (=NO) and the EXT-X-ALLOW-CACHE
will not show in the manifest for other values (or if
-hls_allow_cache is not used.

The counter itself shouldn't be wrapped, since it is used for
determining end_pts for the next segment - only wrap the number
used for the segment file name.

If s->filename doesn't contain any period/filename extension to strip
away, the buffer will be too small to fit both strings. This isn't
any buffer overflow since the concatenation uses av_strlcat with
the right buffer size.
