Per https://dashif.org/docs/DASH-IF-IOP-v4.3.pdf 4.4.3.6 Signalling the last segment number in Period, there are three ways to signal the last segment number:
a. Use the lmsg signalling as defined in clause 4.4.3.5.
b. Use the Segment Timeline with @r value greater or equal to 0.
c. Add a Supplemental Descriptor with @schemeIdUri set to http://dashif.org/guidelines/last-segment-number with the @value set to the last segment number.
We do not support (a). This change adds support for (c) when Segment Timeline (b) is not used, i.e. when Representation has constant duration (could be approximate).
Under flag --dash_add_last_segment_number_when_needed (disabled by default).
- Parse and extract transfer_characteristics from H264/H265 VUI
parameters.
- Set VIDEO-RANGE attribute in HLS according to HLS specification:

- Also added an end to end test.

We used to use the target segment duration provided by the user.
Unfortunately that does not work for iframe only playlist which
the target duration is effectively equal to the GOP duration.
In the new approach, we estimate the target duration from the initial
few blocks (10 blocks right now).

Segment start,end time was used previously, which could result in
problems if there are discontinuity in the streams. E.g. if the
stream has timestamp, 10000, 10001, 10002 and then next segment
comes in with timestamp 1. With the previous logic, all the segments
would remain in the time shift buffer until after 10000 segments
even with a small time shift buffer depth of 10.
This could also happen when timestamp wraps around, which could
happen during long time of live streaming.
This change will also be useful to support multi-period live DASH.

Only Marlin Adaptive Streaming Specification – Simple Profile is

Two additional updates:

DASH live profile with static MPD was incorrectly handled in the same
way as live profile with dynamic MPD, i.e. by assuming the synchronized
Representations, which is incorrect.
It can be easily re-produced in multiple period outputs, i.e. with Ad
cues. It may happen with regular contents as well, due to race
condition, though with a much lower chance of occurring.

Instead, caclulating average bandwidth by dividing the sum of the
sizes of every segment by the sum of the durations of every segment.
This aligns with the requirement in HLS spec:

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.

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.

Removed the logic in MuxerListener to estimate bandwidth from file
size and duration, since it is not compliant to the spec.
MpdBuilder will estimate bandwidth from segment size and duration
if bandwidth is not specified in MediaInfo.
Here is the statement from DASH spec (23009-1:2014):
Consider a hypothetical constant bitrate channel of
bandwidth with the value of this attribute in bits per second
(bps). Then, if the Representation is continuously delivered
at this bitrate, starting at any SAP that is indicated either by
@startwithsap or by any Segment Index box, a client can
be assured of having enough data for continuous playout
providing playout begins after @minbuffertime *
@bandwidth bits have been received (i.e. at time
@minbuffertime after the first bit is received).
For dependent Representations this value specifies the
bandwidth according to the above definition for the
aggregation of this Representation and all complementary
Representations.
Fixes#376.

The file_name fields will be used to solely indicate file paths on the
designated file system, and they are used to do normal file operations,
including file creation, file updating and file removal if needed;
added new xxx_url fields, for the URLs that should appear on DASH
manifest or HLS playlists.
xxx_url are the URIs of the media in the manifest. The fields are
converted from file_name fields but adjusted to be relative to DASH
manifest path or HLS playlist path, optionally with base_url prepended.
Previously the file_name fields are converted in place to indicate
URLs when passing to manifest / playlist builders. The original file
names were lost, which made it difficult to remove files outside of
live window.
Now that the input file names are preserved. File system APIs can
operate on the original file names while manifest / playlist generation
functions can operate on URLs.

This flag was introduced to workaround a rounding error in Chrome
(probably in other browsers too).
Also although this flag avoids the first frame of a Period to be
dropped due to rounding error but it could cause the last frame of a
Period to be dropped.
Now that we use a high precision Period@duration, we do not expect to
see rounding errors any more. The player would be a better place for
the workaround even if it is still needed.

Instead, the actual earliest presentation time is used except for
the first segment if there is an offset between presentation time
(pts) and decoding time (dts).
Chrome (as of v66) reports dts instead of pts in buffered ranges in
MSE API. To avoid breaking Chrome, the earliest_presentation_time
of the first segment is set to its dts as Chrome does not like negative
values for
adjusted dts = dts + Period@start (0 for the first period)
- presentationTimeOffset (earliest_presentation_time).

UTCTiming schemeIdUri and value pairs can be provided to packager using

Chrome internally uses time accurate to microseconds, which is

Prefer timestamps from Video AdaptationSets if available - this avoids
possible video playback jitters due to gaps.
presentationTimeOffset is not applied to the first period as it may in
negative dts which Chrome does not like: https://crbug.com/398141.
It is safe to apply to subsequent periods as the actual offset applied
takes Period@start into consideration:
offset = Period@start - presentationTimeOffset
The result timestamp with offset applied is close to Period@start, so
it is unlikely to result in a negative dts value.
