Remote disc images (ISO 9660 / UDF / Blu-ray BDMV) over HTTP(S) (#64)

A local .iso is routed through the disc adapter, but the HTTP open path fed the source straight to libavformat, which fails to probe a disc image (it is a filesystem, not a media container), so network ISO playback never worked.

New HTTPDiscIOReader is a seekable reader over an http(s) disc image using byte-range requests (the remote twin of the local file reader):

  • Probes total size and range support up front.
  • Serves reads from an adaptive sliding read-ahead window: small for the scattered disc-structure reads at open, growing while playback stays sequential so steady extent playback costs few requests.
  • Retries each request with backoff so a transient network blip does not end playback.

openHTTP now routes a disc-image URL (.iso / .img / .udf) through the disc adapter exactly like the local path, and falls back to the streaming reader when the source is not a recognizable disc (so a mislabeled .iso still plays). The server must support byte ranges; if it does not, the reader logs why and falls back. Gated on the extension so normal media URLs keep the optimized streaming open with no probe cost.

Verified end-to-end against a real DVD ISO served over a local range server (identical streams to the local file) plus unit/integration tests over a mock range server.
