Technical summary

DASH base_url calculation in streamlink/stream/dash.py can lose the manifest path when processing BaseURL entries.

Derive base_url from the parsed MPD URL path with rsplit and urlparse/urlunparse before resolving BaseURL values.

The relevant code path includes dash.py, base_url, rsplit, urlp, and path, so the fix should be local to that URL decomposition code.

The snippet uses native project logic; every MPD segment reference is resolved through the same BaseURL join before playlist entries are emitted. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import streamlink; print('smoke test OK')"
