           Summary: [BlackBerry] MMRPlayer will hang webkit thread when
                    retrieving media metadata
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit BlackBerry
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jonathan.dong at torchmobile.com.cn

this always happens in bad network environment. When MMRPlayer need a long time
to retrieve metadata, the webkit thread is blocked until user get the metadata
or press cancel.

way to reproduce:
1. load live streaming url: http://multiplatform-f.akamaihd.net/i/multi/seeker/LegendofSeeker_16x9_24fps_H264,_1.4Mbps,_1.8Mbps,_1Mbps,_2.5Mbps,_400K,_650K,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8
then you can see the chrome stop responding when retrieving metadata before the media can get played.

root cause:
the webkit thread will wait for the metadata retrieving thread in
MMRPlayer::mmrConnect(). we should avoid using pthread_cond_timedwait() here,
instead we can start a timer to check the metadata finished status every time
it get fired.
