This feature allows a user to delay an output (as long as the output
itself supports it). Needless to say this intended for live streams,
where users may want to delay their streams to prevent stream sniping,
cheating, and other such things.
The design this time was a bit more elaborate, but still simple in
design: the user can now schedule stops/starts without having to wait
for the stream itself to stop before being able to take any action.
Optionally, they can also forcibly stop stream (and delay) in case
something happens which they might not want to be streamed.
Additionally, a new option was added to preserve stream cutoff point on
disconnections/reconnections, so that if you get disconnected while
streaming, when it reconnects, it will reconnect right at the point
where it left off. This will probably be quite useful for a number of
applications in addition to regular delay, such as setting the delay to
1 second and then using this feature to minimize, for example, a
critical stream such as a tournament stream from getting any of its
stream data cut off. However, using this feature will of course cause
the stream data to buffer and increase delay (and memory usage) while
it's in the process of reconnecting.
This reverts commit a508c17f0a.
I realized that this would become more of an annoyance for most people
rather than anything helpful. This has only happened only twice that I
am aware of in all the years that the program has been around.
For both cases the cur_level calculations were "wrong". For one channel
case, I assume that was only an oversight, as for two channels case
cur_level "calculation", getting the level from downmixing to mono will
result in an attenuated level than expected. One solution is to use the
highest level of both channels to drive the gate.
This was broken in cd222f8ce0 which had a
horrible commit message that makes replicating the issue impossible if
there weren't others who reported similar visual studio issues when
using a Japanese locale
Limits similar log entries (determined by a simple hash function that
sums the characters) to certain number of lines in a row. When a
different log entry occurs, it resets the repeat check and logs how many
times the last message was repeated.
Due to certain design changes for delay, it's better to simply determine
whether outputs are active via booleans rather than an activeRefs
variable, which could get decremented more than once if say, the signal
for stopping the stream gets called more than once for whatever reason
(which may happen in the case of delay due to the way delay works)
..This is rather embarrassing. I used the parameter variable and the
actual variable that I wanted to used went completely unused. Would
static analysis catch something like this, I wonder? Would probably
have to be really good static analysis.
This improves logging for when audio data insertion is way out of bounds
or is getting cut off in the front due to a bad negative sync offset.
Instead of throwing out a log message for every time this happens with
each piece of data, it now states when the out of bounds or cutoff has
started and stopped only.
This fixes a case where an insertion of audio data would pass
valid_timestamp_range yet the insert position would cause a negative
integer position and thus an unsigned integer overflow.
YouTube Gaming is live since today (26 August 2015) and people will ask
for it.
This makes it a bit clearer that YouTube and YouTube Gaming
(which share the same ingestion system) work with OBS MP.
Replaces all the json/config loading/saving functions with safe
variants to reduce the chance of potential file corruption as much as
possible.
Also does a minor refactor of json writing by using
obs_data_save_json_safe for writing json files instead of manually using
obs_data_get_json and os_quick_write_utf8 each time.
obs_data_create_from_json_file_safe: Attempts to create an obs_data
object from a file, and if that fails and a backup file exists, deletes
the old file and tries to open it again.
obs_data_save_json_safe: Saves json data to a temporary file first,
optionally backs up the target file if the file exists and backup_ext is
valid (otherwise deletes it), and then renames the temporary file to the
target file. This helps reduce the chance of json corruption on save.
This helper function saves to a temporary file first, (optionally) backs
up the original file, then renames the temporary file to the actual file
name. This helps reduce the chance of file corruption under various
circumstances (such as shutdown or crash while the file is being written
to disk).
This will use the services.json file present in the cache, or if it has
the wrong format version or is corrupted for whatever reason, uses the
local version instead.
Also a minor refactor, makes it so that you call the open_services_file
function to get the services array, rather than having to get the file
name each time.
This allows plugins to update and cache data files from a remote source.
Here are the steps that occur when the API initiates an update check:
1.) It checks to see if the local files are greater than the cached
files. If the local version is newer (for whatever reason), it
replaces the cached version(s) with the local version.
2.) A packages.json file is downloaded from the specified URL. That
packages.json file contains a version number and a list of files to
be updated.
3.) If the downloaded package version is greater than the cached
version, executes step 4-5 on each file.
4.) Checks the version for the file to update in packages.json, and if
the version is greater than the cached version, proceeds to step 5,
otherwise repeat step 4-5 for other files.
5.) Calls the callback given to the update function (if any) with the
file information (file name, buffer, etc), and if the callback
returns true, allows the cached file to be updated and replaced,
otherwise goes back to step 4-6 for the rest of the files.
NOTE: Files are never modified directly. All file saving/modification
is performed in a temporary directory, and then files are moved to their
destination. This should eliminate any possibility of file corruption
(or at least dramatically reduce the possibility).
API Changed:
---------------------------
From:
- bool obs_startup(const char *locale, profiler_name_store_t *store);
To:
- bool obs_startup(const char *locale, const char *module_config_path,
profiler_name_store_t *store);
Summary:
---------------------------
This allows plugin modules to store plugin-specific configuration data
(rather than only allowing objects to store configuration data). This
will be useful for things like caching data, for example looking up and
storing ingests from remote (rather than storing locally), or caching
font data (so it doesn't have to build a font cache each time), among
other things.
Also adds a module-specific directory for the UI
If a user was using FFmpeg output before pathc 0.12.0, they had to type
in the full file name to the FFmpeg output URL/Path box, which isn't
exactly compatible with the new settings.
This changes each profile's config file so that the FFmpeg output
detects whether files are used, and then extracts the file's directory
and extension and sets them accordingly to make it compatible with the
new FFmpeg file output handling.
This changes the way the advanced output section's FFmpeg output
settings work by allowing the user to select whether they want to output
to a file or output to a URL, and makes it so file names are
automatically generated like other recording outputs.
If they choose to output to a file, it'll only require an output
directory similarly to how other recording outputs work. They can
select a directory to output to rather than being required to type in a
full path and filename; the filename is automatically generated. The
extension is also automatically retrieved from libff depending on the
format selected.
Otherwise if they have Output to URL selected, it'll show a simple edit
box where they can type in the target URL.
Manually specifies the UTF-8 character codes used by the file rather
than relying on the compiler to determine what the codes are manually.
I was getting compile errors due to the fact that my current code page
is not at the default code page; so visual c++ tried to use my current
code page rather than UTF-8 and it would cause an error on the file.
Apparently using QPointer container for the QObject being given to the
connect function makes it so it can't find the actual function to use.
I'm guessing this is incomplete functionality or a bug that existed in
GCC 4.8. Doesn't happen in 4.9+.
When settings the base resolution, try to find the closest output
resolution to the old output resolution, and use that for its value. If
the aspect ratio is about the same, then don't modify the value. If the
aspect ratio is significantly different, then find the closest
approximation while keeping with the new aspect ratio.
This particular issue has been an annoyance for quite some time.
