- Changed glMapBuffer to glMapBufferRange to allow invalidation. Using
just glMapBuffer alone was causing some unacceptable stalls.
- Changed dynamic buffers from GL_DYNAMIC_WRITE to GL_STREAM_WRITE
because I had misunderstood the OpenGL specification
- Added _OPENGL and _D3D11 builtin preprocessor macros to effects to
allow special processing if needed
- Added fmod support to shaders (NOTE: D3D and GL do not function
identically with negative numbers when using this. Positive numbers
however function identically)
- Created a planar conversion shader that converts from packed YUV to
planar 420 right on the GPU without any CPU processing. Reduces
required GPU download size to approximately 37.5% of its normal rate
as well. GPU usage down by 10 entire percentage points despite the
extra required pass.
There were a *lot* of warnings, managed to remove most of them.
Also, put warning flags before C_FLAGS and CXX_FLAGS, rather than after,
as -Wall -Wextra was overwriting flags that came before it.
Originally, the rendering system was designed to only display sources
and such, but I realized there would be a flaw; if you wanted to render
the main viewport in a custom way, or maybe even the entire application
as a graphics-based front end, you wouldn't have been able to do that.
Displays have now been separated in to viewports and displays. A
viewport is used to store and draw sources, a display is used to handle
draw callbacks. You can even use displays without using viewports to
draw custom render displays containing graphics calls if you wish, but
usually they would be used in combination with source viewports at
least.
This requires a tiny bit more work to create simple source displays, but
in the end its worth it for the added flexibility and options it brings.
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.
- Fill in the rest of the FFmpeg test output code for testing so it
actually properly outputs data.
- Improve the main video subsystem to be a bit more optimal and
automatically output I420 or NV12 if needed.
- Fix audio subsystem insertation and byte calculation. Now it will
seamlessly insert new audio data in to the audio stream based upon
its timestamp value. (Be extremely cautious when using floating
point calculations for important things like this, and always round
your values and check your values)
- Use 32 byte alignment in case of future optimizations and export a
function to get the current alignment.
- Make os_sleepto_ns return true if slept, false if the time has
already been passed before the call.
- Fix sinewave output so that it actually properly calculates a middle
C sinewave.
- Change the use of row_bytes to linesize (also makes it a bit more
consistent with FFmpeg's naming as well)
- Add planar audio support. FFmpeg and libav use planar audio for many
encoders, so it was somewhat necessary to add support in libobs
itself.
- Improve/adjust FFmpeg test output plugin. The exports were somewhat
messed up (making me rethink how exports should be done). Not yet
functional; it handles video properly, but it still does not handle
audio properly.
- Improve planar video code. The planar video code was not properly
accounting for row sizes for each plane. Specifying row sizes for
each plane has now been added. This will also make it more compatible
with FFmpeg/libav.
- Fixed a bug where callbacks wouldn't create properly in audio-io and
video-io code.
- Implement 'blogva' function to allow for va_list usage with libobs
logging.
- Implement texture scaling/conversion/downloading for the main view so
we can finally start getting data to output.
Also, redesign how it works a bit, it will now properly wait one full
frame for each step in the process: rendering the main texture,
scaling the main texture to an output texture, staging/downloading the
ouput texture, and then outputting that staged data. This way, the
GPU will have more than enough time to fully complete each step.
- Fix a bug with OpenGL plugin's texture staging function. Was using
glBindBuffer instead of what should have been used: glBindTexture.
- Change the naming scheme of the variables in default.effect. It's now
named with the idea of just "color matrix" in mind instead of "yuv
matrix", and instead of DrawRGBToYUV, it's now just DrawMatrix.
- I seem to have fixed ths issues with the main preview widget. It
seems you just need to set the right window attributes to stop it from
breaking. Though when opengl is enabled, there appears to be a weird
background glitch in the Qt stuff -- I'm not entirely sure what's
going on. Bug in Qt?
Also fixed the layout issues, and the widget now properly resizes and
centers in to its parent widget.
- Prevent the render loop from accessing data if the data isn't valid.
Because obs->data is freed before the graphics stuff, it can cause
the graphics to keep trying to query the obs->data.displays_mutex
after it had already been destroyed.
Scenes will now signal via their source when an item has been added
or removed from them.
"add" - Item added to the scene.
Parameters: "scene": Scene that the item was added to.
"item": Item that was added.
"remove" - Item removed from the scene.
Parameters: "scene": Scene that the item was removed from.
"item": Item that was removed.
