[vlc-devel] [PATCH] Support for Http Dynamic Streaming

[Jonathan Thambidurai]

Apologies,

Its was definitely sent to the correct address.  Resending here in its
entirety:

This patch should take care of the above concerns; it also fixes some bugs.

The following is noted:
-volatile was necessary because the compiler was optimizing out some memory
accesses that were necessary because two threads were (safely) operating on
the same data structure.  I've reshuffled some code since that time, so it
may not still occur, but shouldn't hurt.

-I put the data definitions in a separate header file because I'm likely to
add some functionality (bitrate changing, seeking, etc), that may require
adding more .c files to prevent things from getting out of hand.  A
separate header is a step in that direction.

-The ultra-large values for segment runs and fragments runs are what I
imagine are the reasonable worst cases.  The spec. defines nothing in terms
of hard limits here.  In fact, its quite vague.
