Hercules C++ Fog App - Dash updates and DRM changes

The Hercules Player is an application that allows customers to download videos to their computer or device for offline playback, along with streaming playback of videos for online playback.

The Hercules Fog project has stripped out some key portions of the Hercules Player application into a new test application for downloading videos from a server, modifying the manifest, and then playing back on various mobile and TV devices.

The current implementation is C++ and will run on:

• Windows
  Linux
  Mac

This challenge will update the MPEG Dash support with recent changes and will add in functionality to replace a tag in the manifest with a different value.

NOTE:  This is a very technical challenge and will require a fair bit of work in setup and testing. 

Requirements:

The requirements are captured in these Gitlab tickets:

* https://gitlab.com/hercules-fog/Fog-CLI/issues/226
* https://gitlab.com/hercules-fog/Fog-CLI/issues/225

Sample player

This site is what will be used by reviewers to test playback:

http://player.b1.app.cloud.comcast.net/ 

It is expected that reviewers will need to run Google Chrome with web security disabled to get around XSS / CORS issues when playing back from a Fog recorded URL.
