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.
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.
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.
Adds setting profiles to the basic user interface. For each profile, a
subdirectory for the profile will be created in
[config_dir]/obs-studio/basic/profiles which will contain the settings
data for each profile.
Right now, information about global audio sources is stored in both
scene files and in the config. These must be separated; there's no need
to store them in both when they can just be stored in the scenes file.
Certain output formats don't support multiple tracks, so it's important
to warn the user if they select multiple tracks.
Also warn the user if they select no tracks.
On windows vista/7, you cannot really use display capture efficiently
without disabling aero, so this will add an option to settings to allow
it to be disabled and cause it to be disabled on startup.
Reduces required scrolling when lots of new audio sources are added
(e.g. aux devices being enabled in the same dialog) when the dialog
was opened with just a few audio sources being present. Unfortunately,
the "restart required" warning is pushed all the way to the bottom
even if the source list is empty
NoFocusFrameStyle was meant to disable focus frames around the scenes/sources
list (on OSX); unfortunately it also removed focus frames from controls that
should have focus frames like input boxes in the settings window
Non-NV12 video formats are primarily intended for recording. For
streaming, if the libobs color format is not set to NV12, it's likely
that the video frames will have to be converted to NV12, which will use
extra CPU usage. Due to that fact, it's important to warn the user of
that potential extra increased CPU usage that may be required when
streaming.
OBS will offer the user a list of themes which are .qss files inside
data/obs-studio/themes. If no theme is found in the configuration, it
loads the default theme for the system.
Currently, this allows the setting of values such as:
- Audio buffering time
- Color format (still somewhat unsupported)
- YUV color space (if a YUV format)
= YUV color range (if a YUV format)
More color formats will be added in the future, such as RGB and YUV
4:2:2 formats.
Add a checkbox named "Enforce streaming service encoder settings"
checkbox to advanced output. Disabling this checkbox allows the user to
optionally disable the enforcement of streaming service encoder
settings. I had a user complain that they didn't want to always have
the service's preferred encoder settings forced on them.
For the 'output resolution' setting in video settings, do not show
values in the list that it does not support (width must be aligned to a
128bit boundry, and height must be divisible by two)
For the 'rescale' settings in advanced outputs, the scales must all be
divisible by two.
The 'rescale' values in advanced output section are supposed to be based
upon the output resolution of the program. Meaning they should not be
used for scaling up, because the resolution downloaded from the graphics
processor is the output resolution set in video settings; thus any
resolution you set for the 'rescale' values is scaled from that.
To prevent from causing confusion/issues for our most awesome and
respected locale editors, only localize and translate the relevant text
rather than the extensions of the filter.
Before: After:
obs_service_gettype obs_service_get_type
It seems there was an API function that was missed when we were doing
our big API consistency update. Unsquishes obs_service_gettype to
obs_service_get_type.
Currently service settings are updated in real time via the properties
view, which means that OK/Cancel/Apply have no effect. This fixes that
by using the new type of properties view that operates only on settings
data, not an object.
Adds an 'advanced' mode to the output settings to allow more powerful
and complex streaming and recording options:
- Optionally use a different encoder for recording than for streaming to
allow the recording to use a different encoder or encoder settings if
desired (though at the cost if increased CPU usage depending on the
encoders being used)
- Use encoders other than x264
- Rescale the recording or streaming encoders in case the user wishes to
stream and record at different resolutions
- Select the specific mixer to use for recording and for streaming,
allowing the stream and recording to use separate mixers (to for
example allow a user to stream the game/mic audio but only record the
game audio)
- Use FFmpeg output for the recording button instead of only recording
h264/aac to FLV, allowing the user to output to various different
types of file formats or remote URLs, as well as allowing the user to
select and use different encoders and encoder settings that are
available in the FFmpeg library
- Optionally allow the use of multiple audio tracks in a single output
if the file formats or stream services support it
Typedef pointers are unsafe. If you do:
typedef struct bla *bla_t;
then you cannot use it as a constant, such as: const bla_t, because
that constant will be to the pointer itself rather than to the
underlying data. I admit this was a fundamental mistake that must
be corrected.
All typedefs that were pointer types will now have their pointers
removed from the type itself, and the pointers will be used when they
are actually used as variables/parameters/returns instead.
This does not break ABI though, which is pretty nice.
Instead of having functions like obs_signal_handler() that can fail to
properly specify their actual intent in the name (does it signal a
handler, or does it return a signal handler?), always prefix functions
that are meant to get information with 'get' to make its functionality
more explicit.
