My problem is that with this DASH content [1], the tfhd box doesn't
give a default sample duration, and the trun box doesn't give sample
durations either. So I was wondering if I could get the information
from DASH specific boxes.

For now, I use a hack, I divide the fragment duration by the number of
samples, I will see that later.
