When writing a fragmented file, we by default write an index pointing to all the fragments at the end of the file. This causes constantly increasing memory usage during the muxing. For live streams, the index might not be useful at all. A similar fragment index is written (but at the start of the file) if the global_sidx flag is set. If ism_lookahead is set, we need to keep data about the last ism_lookahead+1 fragments. If no fragment index is to be written, we don't need to store information about all fragments, avoiding increasing the memory consumption linearly with the muxing runtime. This fixes out of memory situations with long live mp4 streams. Signed-off-by: Martin Storsjö <martin@martin.st>
