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.
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.
Adds scene collections to the menu bar, which allows you to duplicate,
rename, remove, or add clean new scene collections.
Scene files are now stored in ./obs-studio/basic/scenes directory with
filesystem-safe names.
The empty implementation for the QDataStream operators is necessary to fix
a Qt assertion: "QVariant::save: unable to save type
'std::vector<std::shared_ptr<OBSSignal> >' (type id: 1036)."
It doesn't seem like a full implementation of the stream operators would be
useful since the signal registration is very specific to the interaction
between the scenes and sources list, i.e. in case the scenes list ever accepts
scenes from sources (not 'obs_source's) other than itself (non InternalMove
drag&drop?) it would have to register those scenes with the libobs core which
should trigger the normal signal registration
This simply saves/loads the actual list widget item order.
The reason why this is done is because internally, libobs doesn't have a
list of scenes, it only has a list of sources. The list of scenes is
actually something artificially implemented by the basic window user
interface.
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.
This allows using NV12, I420, or RGB output video formats. This option
will set what obs itself outputs frames as.
It's important to note that this is only ideal for specific FFmpeg
encoders that support the desired video format; for example, if you use
RGB and use the huffyuv encoder, huffyuv will now properly output in RGB
instead of YUV NV12/I420.
I420 is useful for eliminating the NV12->I420 conversion for the
AVerMedia encoders, as AVerMedia encoders only support I420 input.
A second even more important note about RGB is that if the encoder does
not support the format you are using, it will be converted on the CPU to
a format that the encoder supports as it's encoded; so for example
setting the obs output format to RGB and then using x264 will be futile
and end up using needless amounts of extra CPU than if you just had obs
set to NV12, which is the most common and ideal format for x264.
In the future, native output of other YUV formats might be implemented
(such as YUV 4:2:2).
This checkbox gives an 'eye' icon that indicates whether something is
visible or not. The color of the icon is influenced by the current
style's foreground color.
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.
Instead of trying to replace this icon, I feel like just giving it a
white border is sufficient to make it usable in both light and dark
themes.
The only other option is to add icon changing code for themes for this
particular type of widget, and I felt it was best to not go down that
route due to the complexity involved.
Since the file being logged to changes with each run, opening a log
file is a tad more involved than desirable when it's necessary to view
the log each time OBS is run. This new menu entry shortcuts opening the
file from the file system manually.
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.
clicked() is the wrong signal to use, it only activates on actual user
click, not when the value is changed. toggle() activates whenever the
value itself is changed.
Add a button to the main window to access advanced audio properties to
make it a bit more visible to users.
To facilitate this, the bottom part of the window was switched to a grid
layout.
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
This does a few small things
-Moves buttons down 20px to the same height as the list boxes
-Adds a QFrame around scrollArea for mixer list.
Q: Why was this done?
A: When you go to style the mixer list in regards to adding a border,
shadow, or glow, it needs to be done on the QFrame. If you do it on the
scrollArea itself, the scrollbars will overlap the bottom of the border,
causing the border to look cut-off. Additionally, the other two sources
and scenes list widgets already had frames, so they did not have this
problem.
This dialog gives options such as increasing audio past 100%, forcing
the audio of a source to mono, and setting the audio sync offset of a
source (which was an oft-requested feature)
