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.

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.

Add source properties window (very preliminary) - Add a properties window for sources so that you can now actually edit the settings for sources. Also, display the source by itself in the window (Note: not working on mac, and possibly not working on linux). When changing the settings for a source, it will call obs_source_update on that source when you have modified any values automatically. - Add a properties 'widget', eventually I want to turn this in to a regular nice properties view like you'd see in the designer, but right now it just uses a form layout in a QScrollArea with regular controls to display the properties. It's clunky but works for the time being. - Make it so that swap chains and the main graphics subsystem will automatically use at least one backbuffer if none was specified - Fix bug where displays weren't added to the main display array - Make it so that you can get the properties of a source via the actual pointer of a source/encoder/output in addition to being able to look up properties via identifier. - When registering source types, check for required functions (wasn't doing it before). getheight/getwidth should not be optional if it's a video source as well. - Add an RAII OBSObj wrapper to obs.hpp for non-reference-counted libobs pointers - Add an RAII OBSSignal wrapper to obs.hpp for libobs signals to automatically disconnect them on destruction - Move the "scale and center" calculation in window-basic-main.cpp to its own function and in its own source file - Add an 'update' callback to WASAPI audio sources

Split output/input audio capture sources - Split input and output audio captures so that they're different sources. This allows easier handling and enumeration of audio devices without having to do some sort of string processing. This way the user interface code can handle this a bit more easily, and so that it doesn't confuse users either. This should be done for all audio capture sources for all operating systems. You don't have to duplicate any code, you just need to create input/output wrapper functions to designate the audio as input or output before creation. - Make it detect soundflower and wavtap devices as mac "output" devices (even though they're actually input) for the mac output capture, and make it so that users can select a default output capture and automatically use soundflower or wavtap. I'm not entirely happy about having to do this, but because mac is designed this way, this is really the only way to handle it that makes it easier for users and UI code to deal with. Note that soundflower and wavtap are still also designated as input devices, so will still show up in input device enumeration. - Remove pragma messages because they were kind polluting the other compiler messages and just getting in the way. In the future we can just do a grep for TODO to find them. - Redo list property again, this time using a safer internal array, rather than requiring sketchy array inputs. Having functions handle everything behind the scenes is much safer. - Remove the reference counter debug log code, as it was included unintentionally in a commit.

* If this is a filter source, it wraps source draw calls (for

* obs_source_process_filter function to automatically handle

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.
