HLS uses the EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE tag at the start of a live playlist in
order to specify the first segment sequence number. This is because any
live playlist have a limited number of segments, and they also keep
updating with new segments while removing old ones. When a player refreshes
the playlist, this information is important for keeping track of segments
positions.
When the packager starts, it naturally starts this count from zero. However,
there are many situations where the packager may be restarted, without this
meaning starting this value from zero (but continuing a previous sequence).
The most common situations are problems in the encoder feeding the packager.
With those cases in mind, this parameter allows to set the initial
EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE value. This way, it's possible to continue the sequence
number from previous packager run.
Closes#691.
Add dash_accessibilities stream descriptor, which is a semi-colon
separated list of accessibility_scheme_id_uri=value. It is optional.
Add dash_roles stream descriptor, which is a semi-colon separated
list of strings. It is optional.
Closes#565.

VLC seems to generate access units with extra AUDs. In #526, the below
sequence is seen:
AUD | SPS | PPS | SPS | PPS | AUD | SEI | SEI | SEI | IDR_SLICE
Previously we exit early when seeing AUD, which results in delayed
processing of the access unit.
The behavior is changed to continue processing the following NAL units
to workaround the content issue.
Closes#526.

It allows users to override the default language for text tracks.
If not specified, --default_language applies to both audio and text
tracks.

Only Marlin Adaptive Streaming Specification – Simple Profile is
supported.
Two additional updates:
- Remove FairPlay ContentProtection element from DASH mpd as FairPlay
does not define a signaling in DASH.
- Updated end to end test to include all DRMs we support.
Closes#381.

Configurable with --transport_stream_offset_ms.
This is needed to compensate for possible negative timestamps in
inputs, which could happen on ISO-BMFF with EditLists.

This flag was designed for two purpose:
- Grouping fragments into subsegments, achieving three level hierarchy:
segment < subsegment < fragment.
- Indicate whether to generate 'sidx' box in media segments (when the
value is set to a negative number).
There are no practical use case for the first purpose. Removing it to
simplify the code and reduce the confusion.
Introduce another flag --generate_sidx_in_media_segments for the second
purpose.

It was implemented to workaround Chromium's DTS
https://crbug.com/398130, but the workaround does not really work in
all situations.
Remove it now as we already have another workaround available.

This allows UDP receive buffer size to be increased to avoid potential
packet loss result from receive buffer overrun.
Another related flag is --io_cache_size. buffer_size in UDP options
defines the UDP buffer size of the underlying system while
io_cache_size defines the size of the internal circular buffer managed
by Shaka Packager.
Closes#411

RST only accepts two forms for option argument:
- Begins with a letter and consists of [a-zA-Z0-9_].
- Begins with "<" and ends with ">"; any characters except angle
brackets are allowed internally.
Updated documents to obey the above rule.
Also cleaned up the documents to follow the syntaxes defined in
http://docopt.org/.

The number of preserved segments outside live window can be
configured using flag --preserved_segments_outside_live_window,
which is default to 50, i.e. 5 minutes for 6s segment.
Note that the segment removal will be disabled if it is set to 0.
Only HLS live playlist and DASH dynamic MPD are affected by this flag.
- Also add end to end tests.
Fixes#223.

It is not always possible to align segment duration to target duration
exactly. For example, for AAC with sampling rate of 44100, there are
always 1024 audio frames per sample, so the sample duration is
1024/44100. For a target duration of 2 seconds, the closest segment
duration would be 1.984 or 2.00533.
This feature allows MPD generator to treat these segments as having
the same duration, thus allows MPD generator to generate less
SegmentTimeline entries and potentially no SegmentTimeline entries
(replaced with SegmentTemplate@duration instead if
--segment_template_constant_duration flag is enabled).
Under flag --allow_approximate_segment_timeline. Disabled by default.
Fixes#330.

UTCTiming schemeIdUri and value pairs can be provided to packager using
--utc_timings flag. It should be comma separated list of
schemeIdUri=value pairs.
Note that urn:mpeg:dash:utc:direct:2014 scheme is not supported as it
requires the MPD to be dynamically generated on the fly when MPD is
served to client.
Fixes#311.

It aligns with what a lot of other apps are doing, e.g. tsplay.
Also added notes in docker to adjust network setting if wants to use
multicast in docker container.

The keys can be specified in --keys option, with the form of
label=<label>:key_id=<32-digit hex string>:key=<32-digit hex string>,label=...
There can be multiple "label=..." block. The DRM label can be one
of "AUDIO, SD, HD, UHD1, UHD2" or a custom label.
Mark --key and --key_id as deprecated. We can achieve the same result
with --keys=label=:key_id=<key_id>:key=<key>.
Also add a new optional field in stream descriptor: drm_label, which
is used to overwrite the internally generated DRM label for the stream.
If not provided, the DRM label is generated automatically based on
audio/video information, e.g. resolution.
Code changes:
- Merged RawKeyEncryptionParams and RawKeyDecryptionParams into
RawKeyParams.
- Make FixedKeySource accepts RawKeyParams as input.
