Currently, we have a AV_CODEC_ID_SSA, which matches the way the ASS/SSA
markup is muxed in a standalone .ass/.ssa file. This means the AVPacket
data starts with a "Dialogue:" string, followed by a timing information
(start and end of the event as string) and a trailing CRLF after each
line. One packet can contain several lines. We'll refer to this layout
as "SSA" or "SSA lines".
In matroska, this markup is not stored as such: it has no "Dialogue:"
prefix, it contains a ReadOrder field, the timing information is not in
the payload, and it doesn't contain the trailing CRLF. See [1] for more
info. We'll refer to this layout as "ASS".
Since we have only one common codec for both formats, the matroska
demuxer is constructing an AVPacket following the "SSA lines" format.
This causes several problems, so it was decided to change this into
clean ASS packets.
Some insight about what is changed or unchanged in this commit:
CODECS
------
- the decoding process still writes "SSA lines" markup inside the ass
fields of the subtitles rectangles (sub->rects[n]->ass), which is
still the current common way of representing decoded subtitles
markup. It is meant to change later.
- new ASS codec id: AV_CODEC_ID_ASS (which is different from the
legacy AV_CODEC_ID_SSA)
- lavc/assdec: the "ass" decoder is renamed into "ssa" (instead of
"ass") for consistency with the codec id and allows to add a real
ass decoder. This ass decoder receives clean ASS lines (so it starts
with a ReadOrder, is followed by the Layer, etc). We make sure this
is decoded properly in a new ass-line rectangle of the decoded
subtitles (the ssa decoder OTOH is doing a simple straightforward
copy). Using the packet timing instead of data string makes sure the
ass-line now contains the appropriate timing.
- lavc/assenc: just like the ass decoder, the "ssa" encoder is renamed
into "ssa" (instead of "ass") for consistency with the codec id, and
allows to add a real "ass" encoder.
One important thing about this encoder is that it only supports one
ass rectangle: we could have put several dialogue events in the
AVPacket (separated by a \0 for instance) but this would have cause
trouble for the muxer which needs not only the start time, but also
the duration: typically, you have merged events with the same start
time (stored in the AVPacket->pts) but a different duration. At the
moment, only the matroska do the merge with the SSA-line codec.
We will need to make sure all the decoders in the future can't add
more than one rectangle (and only one Dialogue line in it
obviously).
FORMATS
-------
- lavf/assenc: the .ass/.ssa muxer can take both SSA and ASS packets.
In the case of ASS packets as input, it adds the timing based on the
AVPacket pts and duration, and mux it with "Dialogue:", trailing
CRLF, etc.
- lavf/assdec: unchanged; it currently still only outputs SSA-lines
packets.
- lavf/mkv: the demuxer can now output ASS packets without the need of
any "SSA-lines" reconstruction hack. It will become the default at
next libavformat bump, and the SSA support will be dropped from the
demuxer. The muxer can take ASS packets since it's muxed normally,
and still supports the old SSA packets. All the SSA support and
hacks in Matroska code will be dropped at next lavf bump.

Allowing to automatically select the concat demuxer raises
security concerns, as it allows a possibly hostile file to
access any file on the system. Guessing the format based on
the file name extension does not allow to enable the safe
mode designed to avoid it.
The handling of the environment variable no_proxy, present since
one of the initial commits (de6d9b6404), is inconsistent with
how many other applications and libraries interpret this
variable. Its bare presence does not indicate that the use of
proxies should be skipped, but it is some sort of pattern for
hosts that does not need using a proxy (e.g. for a local network).
As investigated by Rudolf Polzer, different libraries handle this
in different ways, some supporting IP address masks, some supporting
arbitrary globbing using *, some just checking that the pattern matches
the end of the hostname without regard for whether it actually is
the right domain or a domain that ends in the same string.
This simple logic should be pretty similar to the logic used by
lynx and curl.

Expose the current sequence number via an AVOption - this can
be used both for setting the initial sequence number, or for
querying the current number.

The main difference to the existing suites from RFC 4568 is
that the version with a 32 bit HMAC still uses 80 bit HMAC
for RTCP packets.

This is mostly useful for encryption together with the RTP muxer,
but could also be set up as IO towards the peer with the SDP
demuxer with custom IO.
Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
This only takes care of decrypting incoming packets; the outgoing
RTCP packets are not encrypted. This is enough for some use cases,
and signalling crypto keys for use with outgoing RTCP packets
doesn't fit as simply into the API. If the SDP demuxer is hooked
up with custom IO, the return packets can be encrypted e.g. via the
SRTP protocol.
If the SRTP keys aren't available within the SDP, the decryption
can be handled externally as well (when using custom IO).

This sends NACK for missed packets and PLI (picture loss indication)
if a depacketizer indicates that it needs a new keyframe, according
to RFC 4585.
This is only enabled if the SDP indicated that feedback is supported
(via the AVPF or SAVPF profile names).
The feedback packets are throttled to a certain maximum interval
(currently 250 ms) to make sure the feedback packets don't eat up
too much bandwidth (which might be counterproductive). The RFC
specifies a more elaborate feedback packet scheduling.
The feedback packets are currently sent independently from normal
RTCP RR packets, which is not totally spec compliant, but works
fine in the environments I've tested it in. (RFC 5506 allows this,
but requires a SDP attribute for enabling it.)

To use this, set sdpflags=custom_io to the sdp demuxer. During
the avformat_open_input call, the SDP is read from the AVFormatContext
AVIOContext (ctx->pb) - after the avformat_open_input call,
during the av_read_frame() calls, the same ctx->pb is used for reading
packets (and sending back RTCP RR packets).
Normally, one would use this with a read-only AVIOContext for the
SDP during the avformat_open_input call, then close that one and
replace it with a read-write one for the packets after the
avformat_open_input call has returned.
This allows using the RTP depacketizers as "pure" demuxers, without
having them tied to the libavformat network IO.

The data does not contain timing or trailing line breaks anymore. In
addition to being less idiotic, it is consistent with other codecs and
thus allows more switches between formats and codecs. It also fixes the
issue of the trailing line returns being simple \n instead of CRLF in
the ASS rectangle dialogue (this is the reason of the FATE update).
Limelight is a not too uncommon CDN. The authentication scheme is
pretty similar to the adobe authentication, but is even closer to
normal http digest authentication (but not close enough to warrant
sharing code) than the adobe version.

This is mostly used to authenticate the client when publishing.
Tested with wowza and akamai.
Some but not all servers support resending a new connect invoke
within the same connection, so always reconnect for sending a new
connection attempt. This matches what other applications do as well.
The authentication scheme is structurally pretty similar to http
digest authentication, but uses base64 instead of hex strings.

Current MicroDVD AVPackets contain timing information and trailing line
breaks. The data is now only composed of the markup data. Doing this
consistently between text subtitles decoders allows to use different
codec for various formats. For instance, MicroDVD markup is sometimes
found in some VPlayer files. Also, generally speaking, the subtitles
text decoders have no use of these timings (and they must not use them
since it would break any user timing adjustment).
Technically, this is a major ABI break. In practice, a mismatching
lavf/lavc will now error out for MicroDVD decoding. Supporting both
formats requires unnecessary complex and fragile code.
FATE needs update because line breaks in the ASS file were "\n" (because
that's what is used in the original file). ASS format expect "\r\n" line
breaks; this commit fixes this issue. Also note that this "\r\n"
trailing need to be moved at some point from the decoders to the ASS
muxer.
Note that the linebreaks text codec option (but not the feature) has
been removed; its main goal was to allow demuxers to configure the text
decoder (and not meant to be used by users), but the AVOption are not a
viable solution. This is solved differently in this commit.
The new options reset the timestamps at each new segment, so that the
generated segments will have timestamps starting close to 0.
It is meant to address trac ticket #1425.
