[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Fix double write of DASH manifest in streaming mode

When streaming mode is enabled, the DASH manifest is written on the
first packet for the segment so that the segment can be advertised
immediately to clients. It was also still writing the manifest at the
end of the segment leading to two duplicate writes.
