Integrate SVTA Common Media Library's ID3 utilities

[felipeYoungi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The ID3 utility functions in CML are based in part on the ones in hls.js. Now that the ID3 functionality has been consolidated from the player libraries, the players should be refactored to use CML's version.

Describe the solution you'd like

Replace every id3 function with those that are on common media library.

Additional context

Looking at open source players like hls.js, dash.js and shaka-player there are common pieces of functionality that have been implemented independently, and sometimes copy and pasted, across the libraries. This is particularly true when looking at standards based features, like ID3 parsing, 608 parsing and CMCD. Since the functionality is shared in spirit but not implementation, they can fall out of sync where certain bugs are fixed in one player but not the others. The goal of common media library is to create a single place where these utilities can be maintained and distributed.

Hi @fyoungqualabs,

Thanks for creating this issue. In this issue and upcoming PRs for @svta/common-media-library ID3 parser please provide specific examples (or links to them). I found streaming-video-technology-alliance/common-media-library#16 with very little information about what this part of the library normalized between hls.js, shaka-player, and dash.js.

Which parts?

Which bugs?

CML's ID3 utilities are largely based on hls.js's. All of the functionality that currently exists in hls.js exists in CML. There are some other features that will be pulled in from Shaka, especially around tags used in audio only streams.
