(related bugs).
The ffmpeg constant AVFMT_RAWPICTURE was deprecated in october 2015
and marked for removal at avformat major bump to version 58
(ffmpeg commit 34ed5c2 , oct 12, 2015).
The bump occured with commit 69b5ce6 (oct21, 2017).
The constant was subsequently removed (commit 693a11b, oct 26 2017).
It was removed from obs-studio with commit d670d7b (from me).
But the code block which was executed with this constant was not
removed, causing issues with ffmpeg output.
The commit fixes the issue for old ffmpeg builds as well as new ones.
The constant is reintegrated for avformat major version < 58 and removed
for version >= 58 (along with its accompanying code).
Thanks to J Lowe for help in solving the bug.
(tested on win 10, macos 10.13, ubuntu 17.10 with ffmpeg head & ffmpeg
3.4.1)
When this was being fixed up, the incorrect function name was used --
however it still compiled because the author was using the newer FFmpeg
version at the time.
Certain NVIDIA GPUs don't support NVENC, but ship with the NVENC
library, causing OBS to mistakenly think that NVENC is available when it
actually isn't.

(This commit also modifies the following modules: UI,
deps/media-playback, coreaudio-encoder, decklink, linux-alsa,
linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, obs-filters, obs-libfdk,
obs-outputs, win-dshow, and win-wasapi)
Adds surround sound audio support to the core, core plugins, and user
interface.
Compatible streaming services: Twitch, FB 360 live
Compatible protocols: rtmp / mpeg-ts tcp udp
Compatible file formats: mkv mp4 ts (others untested)
Compatible codecs: ffmpeg aac, fdk_aac, CoreAudio aac,
opus, vorbis, pcm (others untested).
Tested streaming servers: wowza, nginx
HLS, mpeg-dash : surround passthrough
Html5 players tested with live surround:
videojs, mediaelement, viblast (hls+dash), hls.js
Decklink: on win32, swap channels order for 5.1 7.1
(due to different channel mapping on wav, mpeg, ffmpeg)
Audio filters: surround working.
Monitoring: surround working (win macOs linux (pulse-audio)).
VST: stereo plugins keep in general only the first two channels.
surround plugins should work (e.g. mcfx does).
OS: win, macOs, linux (alsa, pulse-audio).
Misc: larger audio bitrates unlocked to accommodate more channels
NB: mf-aac only supports mono and stereo + 5.1 on win 10
(not implemented due to lack of usefulness)

(This commit also modifies the deps/media-playback, obs-ffmpeg, and
win-dshow modules)
More fixes due to ffmpeg renaming some constants and deprecating
AVFMT_RAWPICTURE and AV_PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD.
Latter replaced by AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX per ffmpeg dev advice.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1061
(This commit also modifies deps/media-playback)
Before, the media-playback library would detect whether something was
seekable by checking the filename for "://", which is unideal because
there are other cases where targets may not be seekable. So instead, an
explicit "seekable" property (off by default) is now in place in the
media source when not in "local file" mode. Seeking will only be
enabled if local file mode is on, or if "seekable" is explicitly checked
by the user.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1022
There's no need to display this property at the moment, the default
amount is more than sufficient for most cases. That and most people
wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.
In the media source, do not pre-cache frames if the source is set to
close the file when inactive because that setting is designed to allow
the file to be replaced by the user. If it's replaced, it can
unintentionally keep the old precache frame, playing the frame from the
older video when it starts up.
Preloading is designed to overwrite the current internal render texture
of the source so it'll be ready to play the first frame right when the
source is first displayed.
However, When the media source is set to pause on the last frame, it
keeps that current render texture visible, so preloading it with the
first frame will essentially overwrite the current render, causing it to
inadvertently show and pause on the first frame rather than the last
frame. So instead, just disable preloading when the user has it set to
pause on the last frame.
(Note: This commit also modifies deps/media-playback)
Allows buffering network-based media sources where supported. Default
is two megabytes of buffering.
Due to a noticeable frequency of crashes inside of FFmpeg when using
hardware encoding on mac, this feature is going to be disabled for now
pending more investigation at a later time.
(This commit also modifies the decklink, linux-v4l2, mac-avcapture,
obs-ffmpeg, and win-dshow modules)
Originally, async buffering for sources was supposed to be a
user-controllable flag. However, that turned out to be less than ideal
because sources (such as the win-dshow plugin) were programmed with
automatic control over their buffering (such as automatically detecting
USB 2.0 capture devices and then enabling in those cases).
The fact that it was a flag caused a design flaw to where buffering
values would be overwritten when a source is loaded from save data.
Because of that, this flag is being deprecated and replaced with a
specific function to enable unbuffered mode instead.
This happens because the enum had the incorrect name, and microsoft
automatically treats all enums as integers in C, regardless of whether
they actually exist or not. Microsoft makes terrible compilers and
whoever decided this was a good idea should be fired.
The "default" preset is not an actual default, but something Nvidia
decided to just call that way. It yields the worst quality per bitrate
out of all the presets, for no actual benefits. The actual FFmpeg
default is the hq one, which yields the best quality, especially when
twopass mode is enabled.
I can't think of a way to keep the "default" preset in a non-confusing
way, and as it gives no known benefits, might as well just remove it
entirely.
(Jim edit: Also made it so that if the settings have it set to
"default", it automatically treats it as "hq")
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#865
Due to crashes being caused by hardware acceleration in the media source
on mac, disable hardware acceleration of the media source being on by
default for the time being.
The encoder name was changed from "nvenc_h264" to "h264_nvenc", and will
throw a warning in the log file if you use the former, so try the latter
first, then the former.
This reverts commit bd70e73c25.
Turns out the commit was due to a miscommunication -- the commit it was
fixing actually worked fine, and this fix was unnecessary.
(Note: This commit also modifies obs-ffmpeg and obs-outputs)
API Changed:
obs_output_info::void (*stop)(void *data);
To:
obs_output_info::void (*stop)(void *data, uint64_t ts);
This fixes the long-time design flaw where obs_output_stop and the
output 'stop' callback would just shut down the output without
considering the timing of when obs_output_stop was used, discarding any
possible buffering and causing the output to get cut off at an
unexpected timing.
The 'stop' callback of obs_output_info now takes a timestamp with the
expectation that the output will use that timestamp to stop output data
in accordance to that timing. obs_output_stop now records the timestamp
at the time that the function is called and calls the 'stop' callback
with that timestamp. If needed, obs_output_force_stop will still stop
the output immediately without buffering.
For some reason in the FFmpeg output, this AVCodecContext variable is
being set to 1 by FFmpeg itself somewhere, and it's causing a massive
slowdown when encoding with FFmpeg directly. This should be set to 0 to
specify to use as many threads as necessary.
On windows, if you were saving a file name or directory with characters
that are not of the current windows character set, it could cause the
file saving process to fail. This fixes it so that on windows it uses
wmain and converts the unicode command line to a UTF-8 command line,
which works with FFmpeg.
Instead of using an option that turns CBR on/off, adds rate control
methods: VBR, CBR, CQP, Lossless.
This moves lossless from being a preset to being a rate control method.
(Also modifies obs-ffmpeg to handle empty frames on EOF)
Previously the demuxer could hit EOF before the decoder threads are
finished, resulting in truncated output. In the worse case scenario the
demuxer could read small files before ff_decoder_refresh even has a chance
to start the clocks, resulting in no output at all.
The if statement erroneously ended with a ';', which means that the code
is always executed, but there's no reason to even have these if checks
in the first place as the functions themselves return safely with null
pointers.
(Note: Also modified the obs-ffmpeg plugin module)
Allows the ability for frame data to pass 8-bit grayscale images (Y800
color format).
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#515
If the media source is set to restart on activation, it also shuts down
when not active. However, it would *always* start regardless of
active/inactive when the source is first created. It shouldn't do that,
it should start up only when it becomes active.
