> Problem:
> The max_url_size calculation for DASH segment URLs only considered the base URL
> length, leading to buffer overflow when the segment's sourceURL exceeded the
> pre-allocated buffer. This triggered the log error:
> "DASH request for url 'invalid:truncated'".
>
> Reproduce:
> 1. A test sample "long-sourceurl-sample.mpd" (deliberately designed with a long
> sourceURL) was uploaded to VideoLAN's repository.
> 2. Reproduce with short base path:
> ffmpeg -i /tmp/short_path/long-sourceurl-sample.mpd
> -> Triggers "invalid:truncated" error
> 3. With artificially lengthened base path (e.g. /aaa/../bbb/../...):
> ffmpeg -i /long/../path/../with/../many/../segments/long-sourceurl-sample.mpd
> -> URL resolves correctly (though HTTP fetch fails due to fake URL)
>
> Fix:
> Recalculate max_url_size by considering both base URL and sourceURL lengths,
> ensuring sufficient buffer allocation during URL concatenation.
>
> V2:
> 1. no need to determine whether initialization_val is null.
> 2. fix the incorrect variable name.

This should use way smaller scope.
