/******************************************************************************
Revamp API and start using doxygen The API used to be designed in such a way to where it would expect exports for each individual source/output/encoder/etc. You would export functions for each and it would automatically load those functions based on a specific naming scheme from the module. The idea behind this was that I wanted to limit the usage of structures in the API so only functions could be used. It was an interesting idea in theory, but this idea turned out to be flawed in a number of ways: 1.) Requiring exports to create sources/outputs/encoders/etc meant that you could not create them by any other means, which meant that things like faruton's .net plugin would become difficult. 2.) Export function declarations could not be checked, therefore if you created a function with the wrong parameters and parameter types, the compiler wouldn't know how to check for that. 3.) Required overly complex load functions in libobs just to handle it. It makes much more sense to just have a load function that you call manually. Complexity is the bane of all good programs. 4.) It required that you have functions of specific names, which looked and felt somewhat unsightly. So, to fix these issues, I replaced it with a more commonly used API scheme, seen commonly in places like kernels and typical C libraries with abstraction. You simply create a structure that contains the callback definitions, and you pass it to a function to register that definition (such as obs_register_source), which you call in the obs_module_load of the module. It will also automatically check the structure size and ensure that it only loads the required values if the structure happened to add new values in an API change. The "main" source file for each module must include obs-module.h, and must use OBS_DECLARE_MODULE() within that source file. Also, started writing some doxygen documentation in to the main library headers. Will add more detailed documentation as I go.

Implement encoder interface (still preliminary) - Implement OBS encoder interface. It was previously incomplete, but now is reaching some level of completion, though probably should still be considered preliminary. I had originally implemented it so that encoders only have a 'reset' function to reset their parameters, but I felt that having both a 'start' and 'stop' function would be useful. Encoders are now assigned to a specific video/audio media output each rather than implicitely assigned to the main obs video/audio contexts. This allows separate encoder contexts that aren't necessarily assigned to the main video/audio context (which is useful for things such as recording specific sources). Will probably have to do this for regular obs outputs as well. When creating an encoder, you must now explicitely state whether that encoder is an audio or video encoder. Audio and video can optionally be automatically converted depending on what the encoder specifies. When something 'attaches' to an encoder, the first attachment starts the encoder, and the encoder automatically attaches to the media output context associated with it. Subsequent attachments won't have the same effect, they will just start receiving the same encoder data when the next keyframe plays (along with SEI if any). When detaching from the encoder, the last detachment will fully stop the encoder and detach the encoder from the media output context associated with the encoder. SEI must actually be exported separately; because new encoder attachments may not always be at the beginning of the stream, the first keyframe they get must have that SEI data in it. If the encoder has SEI data, it needs only add one small function to simply query that SEI data, and then that data will be handled automatically by libobs for all subsequent encoder attachments. - Implement x264 encoder plugin, move x264 files to separate plugin to separate necessary dependencies. - Change video/audio frame output structures to not use const qualifiers to prevent issues with non-const function usage elsewhere. This was an issue when writing the x264 encoder, as the x264 encoder expects non-const frame data. Change stagesurf_map to return a non-const data type to prevent this as well. - Change full range parameter of video scaler to be an enum rather than boolean

(API Change) Add support for multiple audio mixers API changed: -------------------------- void obs_output_set_audio_encoder( obs_output_t *output, obs_encoder_t *encoder); obs_encoder_t *obs_output_get_audio_encoder( const obs_output_t *output); obs_encoder_t *obs_audio_encoder_create( const char *id, const char *name, obs_data_t *settings); Changed to: -------------------------- /* 'idx' specifies the track index of the output */ void obs_output_set_audio_encoder( obs_output_t *output, obs_encoder_t *encoder, size_t idx); /* 'idx' specifies the track index of the output */ obs_encoder_t *obs_output_get_audio_encoder( const obs_output_t *output, size_t idx); /* 'mixer_idx' specifies the mixer index to capture audio from */ obs_encoder_t *obs_audio_encoder_create( const char *id, const char *name, obs_data_t *settings, size_t mixer_idx); Overview -------------------------- This feature allows multiple audio mixers to be used at a time. This capability was able to be added with surprisingly very little extra overhead. Audio will not be mixed unless it's assigned to a specific mixer, and mixers will not mix unless they have an active mix connection. Mostly this will be useful for being able to separate out specific audio for recording versus streaming, but will also be useful for certain streaming services that support multiple audio streams via RTMP. I didn't want to use a variable amount of mixers due to the desire to reduce heap allocations, so currently I set the limit to 4 simultaneous mixers; this number can be increased later if needed, but honestly I feel like it's just the right number to use. Sources: Sources can now specify which audio mixers their audio is mixed to; this can be a single mixer or multiple mixers at a time. The obs_source_set_audio_mixers function sets the audio mixer which an audio source applies to. For example, 0xF would mean that the source applies to all four mixers. Audio Encoders: Audio encoders now must specify which specific audio mixer they use when they encode audio data. Outputs: Outputs that use encoders can now support multiple audio tracks at once if they have the OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK capability flag set. This is mostly only useful for certain types of RTMP transmissions, though may be useful for file formats that support multiple audio tracks as well later on.

SEI must actually be exported separately; because new encoder attachments may not always be at the beginning of the stream, the first keyframe they get must have that SEI data in it. If the encoder has SEI data, it needs only add one small function to simply query that SEI data, and then that data will be handled automatically by libobs for all subsequent encoder attachments. - Implement x264 encoder plugin, move x264 files to separate plugin to separate necessary dependencies. - Change video/audio frame output structures to not use const qualifiers to prevent issues with non-const function usage elsewhere. This was an issue when writing the x264 encoder, as the x264 encoder expects non-const frame data. Change stagesurf_map to return a non-const data type to prevent this as well. - Change full range parameter of video scaler to be an enum rather than boolean

Implement encoder interface (still preliminary) - Implement OBS encoder interface. It was previously incomplete, but now is reaching some level of completion, though probably should still be considered preliminary. I had originally implemented it so that encoders only have a 'reset' function to reset their parameters, but I felt that having both a 'start' and 'stop' function would be useful. Encoders are now assigned to a specific video/audio media output each rather than implicitely assigned to the main obs video/audio contexts. This allows separate encoder contexts that aren't necessarily assigned to the main video/audio context (which is useful for things such as recording specific sources). Will probably have to do this for regular obs outputs as well. When creating an encoder, you must now explicitely state whether that encoder is an audio or video encoder. Audio and video can optionally be automatically converted depending on what the encoder specifies. When something 'attaches' to an encoder, the first attachment starts the encoder, and the encoder automatically attaches to the media output context associated with it. Subsequent attachments won't have the same effect, they will just start receiving the same encoder data when the next keyframe plays (along with SEI if any).
