- 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.
- Implemented better C++ classes for handling scenes/sources/items in
obs.hpp, allowing them to automatically increment and decrement the
references of each, as well as assign them to QVariants.
- Because QVariants are now using the C++ classes, remove the pointer
QVariant wrapper.
- Use the new C++ classes with the QVariant user data of list box items,
both for the sake of thread safety and to ensure that the data
referenced is not freed until removed. NOTE: still might need some
testing.
- Implemented a source-remove signal from libobs, and start using that
signal instead of the source-destroy signal for signalling item
removal.
Scene items previously were removed by calling obs_sceneitem_destroy,
but this proved to be a potential race condition where two different
threads could try to destroy the same scene item at the same time.
Instead of doing that, reference counting is now used on scene items,
and an explicit obs_sceneitem_remove function is used instead for item
removal, which sets a 'removed' variable to ensure it can only be called
exactly one time.
The previous commit used the scene as a parameter to check to see if
the scene item was still present within the scene before destroying, but
this was actually unnecessary because the fault was because the destroy
signal was being triggered *before* the scene's mutex locked, thus
causing a race condition. I changed the code so that it signals after
the lock instead of before, so the scene parameter should no longer be
necessary.
Fixes a deadlock when trying to remove a source from the GUI. The scene
item signal handlers would mark the source as removed which results in
the video thread also trying to run obs_sceneitem_destroy thereby
deadlocking the video thread (and the GUI thread)
- Add 'set_default' functions to obs-data.*. These functions ensure
that a paramter exists and that the parameter is of a specific type.
If not, it will create or overwrite the value with the default setting
instead.
These functions are meant to be explicitly called before using any of
the 'get' functions. The reason why it was designed this way is to
encourage defaults to be set in a single place/function.
For example, ideal usage is to create one function for your data,
"set_my_defaults(obs_data_t data)", set all the default values within
that function, and then call that function on create/update, that way
all defaults are centralized to a single place.
- Ensure that data passed to sources/encoders/outputs/etc is always
valid, and not a null value.
- While I'm remembering, fix a few defaults of the main program config
file data.
- Move over the last of the original settings dialog code to QT. It was
actually a bit easier to write in the QT version. wxWidgets was
definitely not ideal for that because the pages would fully
create/destroy every time.
- [Win32] Fix os_dlopen so that it only appends .dll if not present
- [MacOS] Fix name dialog text edit widget issue (it would be better if
we could just use the list widget for editing labels, will have to
look in to that in the future)
- Tweak the settings UI a bit more and make 30 FPS default
- Add a macro to convert a QString to a UTF-8 const char * string
- Rename build/plugins to build/obs-plugins
- Remove the last of the wxWidgets code
- Fix the size issue with list boxes on mac. Was displaying the list
boxes with an improper size. Turns out it was just the wrong size
policies on the frame below.
- Ensure the main windows are fully displayed *before* initializing
subsystems. This ensures that the graphics system will properly start
up on macos, and allows the glitch fix.
- Made a workaround for weird QT glitch that would happen to the parent
of a pure native widget that also has internal painting fully
disabled. (Should definitely write an example and report this bug on
the QT forums)
- Had the wrong names set for the up/down widgets for sources/scenes
- Updated the settings dialog and gave most of the widgets actual object
names
- Added code for the settings window. Settings window should now at
least display.
Fixed a few files that went over 80 columns, mostly just a nitpack on my
part.
libobs/obs-nix.c had a rather bad case of leading whitespace.
Also, fixed the x86 obs-studio project files so that it would properly
output to the right directory. It couldn't find libobs.lib because
obs-studio's project settings had it outputting to a different place
than the rest of the projects.
- 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.

Notes and details
--------------------------------------------------
Why was this done? Because wxWidgets was just lacking in many areas. I
know wxWidgets is designed to be used with native controls, and that's
great, but wxWidgets just is not a feature-complete toolkit for
multiplatform applications. It lacks in dialog editors, its code is
archaic and outdated, and I just feel frustrated every time I try to do
things with it.
Qt on the other hand.. I had to actually try Qt to realize how much
better it was as a toolkit. They've got everything from dialog editors,
to an IDE, a debugger, build tools, just everything, and it's all
top-notch and highly maintained. The focus of the toolkit is
application development, and they spend their time trying to help
people do exactly that: make programs. Great support, great tools,
and because of that, great toolkit. I just didn't want to alienate any
developers by being stubborn about native widgets.
There *are* some things that are rather lackluster about it and design
choices I disagree with though. For example, I realize that to have an
easy to use toolkit you have to have some level of code generation.
However, in my personal and humble opinion, moc just feels like a
terrible way to approach the problem. Even now I feel like there are a
variety of ways you could handle code generation and automatic
management of things like that. I don't like the idea of circumventing
the language itself like that. It feels like one giant massive hack.
--------------------------------------------------
Things that aren't working properly:
--------------------------------------------------
- Settings dialog is not implemented. The dialog is complete but the
code to handle the dialog hasn't been constructed yet.
- There is a problem with using Qt widgets as a device target on
windows, with at least OpenGL: if I have the preview widget
automatically resize itself, it seems to cause some sort of video
card failure that I don't understand.
- Because of the above, resizing the preview widget has been disabled
until I can figure out what's going on, so it's currently only a
32x32 area.
- Direct3D doesn't seem to render correctly either, seems that the
viewport is messed up or something. I'm sort of confused about
what's going on with it.
- The new main window seems to be triggering more race conditions than
the wxWidgets main window dialog did. I'm not entirely sure what's
going on here, but this may just be existing race conditions within
libobs itself that I just never spotted before (even though I tend to
be very thorough with race conditions any time I use variables
cross-thread)
Completely revamped the entire media i/o data and handlers. The
original idea was to have a system that would have connecting media
inputs and outputs, but at a certain point I realized that this was an
unnecessary complexity for what we wanted to do. (Also, it reminded me
of directshow filters, and I HATE directshow with a passion, and
wouldn't wish it upon my greatest enemy)
Now, audio/video outputs are connected to directly, with better callback
handlers, and will eventually have the ability to automatically handle
conversions such as 4:4:4 to 4:2:0 when connecting to an input that uses
them. Doing this will allow the video/audio i/o handlers to also
prevent duplicate conversion, as well as make it easier/simple to use.
My true goal for this is to make output and encoder plugins as simple to
create as possible. I want to be able to be able to create an output
plugin with almost no real hassle of having to worry about image
conversions, media inputs/outputs, etc. A plugin developer shouldn't
have to handle that sort of stuff when he/she doesn't really need to.
Plugins will be able to simply create a callback via obs_video() and/or
obs_audio(), and they will automatically receive the audio/video data in
the formats requested via a simple callback, without needing to do
almost anything else at all.
For one, I added a new member gs_window for future use.
The member is "display" which represents our connection to X11.
Ideally, we should use this specific connection to deal with our Window.
For now, it's disabled. Read comment for more information.
Secondly, wxGTK apparently doesn't map our window in some cases.
This causes the window ID passed to be bad and will stop (or segfault)
our program. This might be related to the first commit above.
For now, all this commit does is realize the window manually.
- Mixing still isn't implemented, but the audio system should be able
to start up, and mix at least once audio line for the time being.
Will have to write some test audio sources to verify things are
working properly, and build the rest of the output functionality.
- Made it so that when a source is added or removed from a scene it
will add a reference to sourceSceneRefs (std::unordered_map). Each
source adds a reference to that every time they are added to a scene,
and releases a reference from it when they are removed from a scene.
When the value reaches 0, the source is no longer in any scenes, and
is then marked for removal and destroyed.
Before, I was using the source internal reference counter, which is a
really bad thing to do because I don't know what might actually be
referencing it. So using a separate discrete reference counter for
the number of scenes it's in is better in this case.
