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")

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.
Certain types of sources (display captures, game captures, audio
device captures, video device captures) should not be duplicated. This
capability flag hints that the source prefers references over full
duplication.
Adds the option of making the media file restart when the source becomes
active (such as switching to a scene with it).
Due to lack of libff features to start/stop/pause/seek media files,
currently this just destroys the demuxer and recreates it. Ideally,
libff should have some functions to allow a more optimal means of doing
those things.
Reactors a bit of code related to starting up FFmpeg and makes it so the
initial view for the media source's properties displays the most
commonly desired settings.
Instead of the media source properties showing the URL mode by default
along with a whole bunch of properties that are confusing to most users,
starts on file mode and changes defaults to be a bit more sensible
related to file input.
Also, as a temporary measure for fixing color format issues (some video
files would display their color information incorrectly), forced format
conversion is now enabled by default, and has been moved to advanced
settings. Ideally, the actual bug causing color format issues in either
media-io or libff should be fixed at some point.
When browsing for a file, it would also just use *.* for the file
filter, which is a pain to use. This has been changed to use a
reasonable file filter related to common video/audio files so you don't
have to wade through non-media files just to select a media file. A
filter to show all files is still available as well.
Another thread could be manipulating the active_log_contexts array while the current thread is trying to read it, resulting in an uninitialized memory crash as the da_push_back call was not protected by the mutex.
This also adds the ability to detect whether it stopped due to lack of
space or not -- particularly useful for the FFmpeg output due to
lossless file format support.
For the FFmpeg output, the encoder ids are sort of superfluous. They
really should be optional. If they're not set, it should use the
encoder name string instead to determine the ids automatically.
API changed from:
obs_source_info::get_name(void)
obs_output_info::get_name(void)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void)
obs_service_info::get_name(void)
API changed to:
obs_source_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_output_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_service_info::get_name(void *type_data)
This allows the type data to be used when getting the name of the
object (useful for plugin wrappers primarily).
NOTE: Though a parameter was added, this is backward-compatible with
older plugins due to calling convention. The new parameter will simply
be ignored by older plugins, and the stack (if used) will be cleaned up
by the caller.
This is used by some muxers that set AVFMT_NOFILE and doesn't seem to
hurt muxers that don't set it; notable this makes the hls muxer output
its m3u8 playlist with the proper filename in the proper directory
