adaptivedemux: Calculate values before queue2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In order to calculate the *actual* bitrate for downloading a fragment
we need to take into account the time since we requested the fragment.

Without this, the bitrate calculations (previously reported by queue2)
would be biased since they wouldn't take into account the request latency
(that is the time between the moment we request a specific URI and the
moment we receive the first byte of that request).

Such examples were it would be biased would be high-bandwith but high-latency
networks. If you download 5MB in 500ms, but it takes 200ms to get the first
byte, queue2 would report 80Mbit/s (5Mb in 500ms) , but taking the request
into account it is only 57Mbit/s (5Mb in 700ms).

While this would not cause too much issues if the above fragment represented
a much longer duration (5s of content), it would cause issues with short
ones (say 1s, or when doing keyframe-only requests which are even shorter)
where the code would expect to be able to download up to 80Mbit/s ... whereas
if we take the request time into account it's much lower (and we would
therefore end up doing late requests).

Also calculate the request latency for debugging purposes and further
usage (it could allow us to figure out the maximum request rate for
example).
