Without EXT-X-MAP support we miss the first bytes of some streams.
These streams worked by luck before byte-ranged segment support was added in
da7759b357
Fixes ticket #4797.
Commit ad701326b4 ("avformat/hls: open playlists immediately when
AVDISCARD_ALL is dropped") inadvertently caused first_packet to never be
cleared, causing select_cur_seq_no() to not use the specific code for
live streams.
In practice this means that when the user selects a different audio
track during live stream (i.e. non-VOD) playback, there may be some
additional delay as the code might select an incorrect segment at first,
and we have to wait for video to catch audio (if too late segment was
selected) or to download more following audio segments (if too early
segment was selected).
Fix that by restoring the zeroing of first_packet.
This will give incorrect results in some cases due to not parsing segments
separately, so it currently requires -strict experimental.

If there is no #EXT-X-BYTERANGE specified, there is no need to seek.
Seeking fails anyway for rtmp, because this protocol does not support
url_seek.
This fixes CNN.m3u from trac ticket 4797 (i.e. Debian bug #798189).

Broken by commit ba12ba859a. This only
happens with HLS streams which use encryption and require preserving
cookies sent by the server.
Fixes trac issue #4846.
Comment was previously slightly incorrect.

Apparently, some live streams can delete segments too early, maybe
because the client is too far behind. In this case, it's better to skip
the segment, instead of returning EOF. (Yes, the HLS demuxer actually
returns AVERROR_EOF if opening the segment returns a 404 HTTP error.)

SAMPLE-AES encryption is not commonly used yet, but without this patch
ffmpeg is thinking that the hls segments are not encrypted which

Since we are basically seeking the AVIOContext under the subdemuxer, we
need to flush the subdemuxer to avoid old packets from being read from
the packet queue after the seek.

Properly take stream_index into account so that a keyframe will be
looked for in the specified stream_index only.
Similarly, only check timestamp validity against the specified
stream_index.
Also remove code for stream_index == -1 case which does not actually
happen as it is handled by generic code.
This is based on an initial patch by James Deng.

Do not try to delay opening newly required playlists until a segment
switch. Applications expect that newly selected undiscarded streams are
available immediately, especially with alternative rendition streams
(selectable audio/subtitle tracks).
One might think that delaying variant stream switch until a segment
switch would allow a "seamless" switch without us having to download a
specific segment from two different variant playlists. However, that is
not the case, since the application would have to keep the previous
stream available (undiscarded) until the first packet of the newly
selected stream arrives, but by that time the demuxer would have already
downloaded the next segment of both variants.

As per spec 3.4.3 ("A client MUST NOT assume that segments with the same
sequence number in different Media Playlists contain matching content.")
we cannot use sequence numbers for packet ordering.
This can be seen e.g. in the subtitle streams of
bipbop_16x9_variant.m3u8 that have considerably longer segments and
therefore different numbering.
Since the code now exclusively syncs using timestamps that may wrap, add
some additional checking for that.
According to the HLS spec all the timestamps should be in 33-bit MPEG
format and synced together.
v2: cleaner wrap detection
v3: further wrap detection improvements

While selecting a packet to return to caller in read_packet(), the code
corrects the timestamps for starting timestamps.
However, this is wrong, since for live streams the initial timestamps
might differ just because of the time delay between the retrieval of the
various Media Playlists.
Fortunately, spec 6.2.4 mandates that all variant streams must have
matching timestamps, so we do not need to correct for initial
timestamps.
Drop the correction code.
Note that ID3 timestamps were previously ignored, so this code was
previously actually needed.

Improve selection of the segment sequence number when restarting the
reception of a playlist after it was suspended due to being unneeded
(due to discard flags).
The current code assumes that each playlist contains matching data with
the same sequence number, while spec 3.4.3 specifically says that that
is not the case. Often subtitle playlists also have longer target
durations as well, causing the selection to be completely wrong.
Instead prefer using the playlist segment duration information for
non-live playlists, and other means if that is not possible.

Seeking needs to be tracked on a per-playlist basis, since the resyncing
code in hls_read_packet() has to sync each playlist to the seek
timestamp instead of stopping after the first playlist has reached it.

HLS protocol version 4 added alternative renditions to the
specification (e.g. alternative audio tracks).
The EXT-X-MEDIA tags can also contain metadata for "renditions" (i.e.
tracks) of the main Media Playlist.
Add support for those.
Note that the same rendition (AVStream) may be associated with multiple
variants (AVPrograms).
Alternative subtitle tracks will require additional work and are
therefore not enabled yet.

Session data (cookies, user-agent) is not being sent on payload requests with
encrypted HLS streams This causes services like Akamai to give a 403 forbidden
when requesting the TS files, because they expect the same cookies
and user-agent on all requests
Not all "sub-playlists" are variant playlists (containing the same
content with a different bitrate, etc) in the current version of the HLS
specification. They can now also be alternative renditions, containing
e.g. alternative audio tracks etc.

features.
