New methods for Adaptive Bitrate Streaming #2

Closed ericxtang closed 7 years ago

ericxtang commented 7 years ago

Added changes needed for Adaptive Bitrate Streaming.

GetMasterPlaylist - to get the master playlist from the broadcaster
UpdateMasterPlaylist - the broadcaster does this when it receives transcode response
ReceivedTranscodeResponse - the broadcaster registers a callback to be notified when the transcode response come back

Before this, we were just recording the transcode response in the Broadcaster struct. This is not sufficient because the rest of the codebase needs that information.

@dob the semantic for UpdateMasterPlaylist is to update THE MasterPlaylist for the stream, and the entire network should now be using this new playlist. Depending on the implementation, this can be a local change or a remote (DHT) change.
