Handling of discontinuity in HLS playlist

[varsill]

Hello!
I wasn't sure where should I put that issue, and I thought it would be best to put it here - please correct me if I am wrong :D
In my pipeline, which uses HLS Source, I need to update timestamps in an appropriate way when the discontinuity (indicated by the ext-discontinuity flag in the HLS playlist) occurs.
Currently, such a discontinuity is not handled by the source, and there is no way to find out that it is happening.

To solve that problem I have created a couple of PRs that add support for reading ext-discontinuity flag from the HLS playlist as well as sending Membrane.Discontinuity.Event in case discontinuity occurs. More details are described in the PRs themselves:

• Add handling of discontinuity EXT flag kim_hls#9
• Add discontinuity field in TS and PES packets kim_mpeg_ts#3
• Adjust for handling discontinuity membrane_mpeg_ts_plugin#3
