This particularly affected audio encoding, audio encoding previously
would count samples and use it to create an encoding timestamp, but
because I was using a standard integer (which is 32bit by default on
x86), it would max out at about 0x7FFFFFFF samples, which is about 12
hours of samples at 48000 sample rate. After that, it would start going
into negative territory (overflowing). By changing it to int64_t, it
will make it so that audio at 48000 samples per second would only be
able to overflow after about.. 6.09 million years. In other words,
this should fix the issue for good.
In addition to the flv file format, this allows the ability to save to
container formats such as mp4, ts, mkv, and any other containers that
support the current codecs being used.
It pipes the encoded data to the ffmpeg-mux process, which then safely
muxes the file from the encoded data. If the main program unexpectedly
terminates, the ffmpeg-mux piped program will safely close the file and
write trailer data, preventing file corruption.
Instead of using system timestamps for playback, use the timestamps
directly from the video/audio data to ensure all the data is synced up
using the obs_source back-end.
I think the original misconception when this was written was that OBS
would not handle timestamp resets/loops, which isn't the case; it will
actually handle all timestamp resets and abnormalities. It's always
best to use the obs_source back-end for all playback and syncing.
In the settings if you select default container then the
format becomes null. If null then audio/video codec ids should
not be set on the output format as they will both be
AV_CODEC_ID_NONE causing a context with no streams specified
to be created (error).
API Changed (in struct obs_encoder_info):
----------------------------------------
bool (*get_audio_info)(void *data, struct audio_convert_info *info);
bool (*get_video_info)(void *data, struct video_scale_info *info);
To:
----------------------------------------
void (*get_audio_info)(void *data, struct audio_convert_info *info);
void (*get_video_info)(void *data, struct video_scale_info *info);
The encoder video/audio information callbacks no longer need to manually
query the libobs video/audio information, that information is now passed
via the parameter, which the callbacks can modify.
The refactor that reduces boilerplate in the encoder video/audio
information callbacks also removes the need for their return values, so
change the return types to void.
Check the actual name of the codec before applying an x264-specific
preset so we don't encounter an "Invalid argument" error when using
other h264 encoders in FFmpeg (such as NVEnc).
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#412
Some formats (like WMV) would send out audio packets that
had channels set but did not specify a channel layout.
Solution is to no longer rely on channel layout to get the
channels and just get the channel count directly off the
FFmpeg audio frame.
Core API functions changed:
-----------------------------
EXPORT bool obs_reset_audio(struct audio_output_info *aoi);
EXPORT bool obs_get_audio_info(struct audio_output_info *aoi);
To:
-----------------------------
EXPORT bool obs_reset_audio(const struct obs_audio_info *oai);
EXPORT bool obs_get_audio_info(struct obs_audio_info *oai);
Core structure added:
-----------------------------
struct obs_audio_info {
uint32_t samples_per_sec;
enum speaker_layout speakers;
uint64_t buffer_ms;
};
Non-interleaved (planar) floating point output is standard with audio
filtering, so to prevent audio filters from having to worry about
different audio format implementations and for the sake consistency
between user interfaces, make it so that audio is always set to
non-interleaved floating point output.
This makes FFmpeg usable as an output, and removes or changes most of
the code that was originally intended for testing purposes.
Changes the settings for the FFmpeg output to the following:
* url: Sets the output URL or file path
* video_bitrate: Sets the video bitrate
* audio_bitrate: Sets the audio bitrate
* video_encoder: Sets the video encoder (by name, blank for default)
* audio_encoder: Sets the audio encoder (by name, blank for default)
* video_settings: Sets custom video encoder FFmpeg settings
* audio_settings: Sets custom audio encoder FFmpeg settings
* scale_width: Image scale width (0 if none)
* scale_height: Image scale height (0 if none)
The reason why scale_width and scale_height are provided is because it
may internally convert formats, and it may be a bit more optimal to use
that scaler instead of the pre-output scaler just in case it already has
to convert formats internally anyway (though you can do it either way
you wish).
Video format handling has also changed; it will now attempt to use the
closest format to the current format if available for a given video
codec.
