CTS offsets are supposed to be either unsigned 32 bits integers or signed 32 bits integers.

However, various MP4 appears to use negative offsets and mark the offset as being unsigned.

As we store the negative 32 bits integer into a 64 bits signed one, we end up with extremely large cts offsets which leads to invalid pts calculations which breaks playback.

CTS offsets should be handled as 32 bits signed integers to avoid the problem

Here is an example where negative cts offset causes playback to stall

Keep cts offset a 32 bits signed. This prevents issue when a time offset is incorrectly marked as version 0 which indicates that the offset is an unsigned bit. Chrome, FFmpeg, VLC all appears to handle the offset in the same fashion: always treat it as 32 bits signed

Use 32 bits signed for storing CTS in order to properly calculate PTS

We need this fix in MoofParser as well.

i had another patch for that.
I separated it.

I also believe in MPEG4Source::read, the cts handling is wrong.
should either be a int32_t there, or
replace:
mBuffer->meta_data()->setInt64(
                    kKeyTime, ((int64_t)cts * 1000000) / mTimescale);

with:
mBuffer->meta_data()->setInt64(
                    kKeyTime, ((int32_t)cts * 1000000LL) / mTimescale);
This allows the videos to play properly, as well as http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/bbb/avc3/1/client_manifest-common_init.mpd. The DASH pauses after a few seconds, but that's unrelated and is another problem.

Remove these 3 lines while you're at it.

MPEG4Extractor has something similar that can also go away.
