I made the rather tough call of not showing all services by default; I
didn't want to have to do this, but too many services are asking to be
put in to the program, and any time I add a service in to the list, I
feel uncomfortable because I feel like I'm potentially advertising them,
and/or they're using our program to advertise as well. Some of these
services are particularly bad at policing illegal/copyrighted content,
host content that I personally find distasteful or incredibly stupid
(what the heck is up with these "vaping" streams?), or are just fairly
terrible websites in general that I just feel uncomfortable with showing
by default.
However, I do not really want to reject anyone either, I want to let
their users be able to use our program with relative ease, but more than
anything I just simple don't want to be seen as "endorsing" some of
these websites (more than others in particular). I know that a "show
all services" checkbox is probably pretty pointless/superfluous thing to
do, but I feel like it's at the very least a means of saying "hey, I
don't really endorse these guys," or "use at your own risk," or
"warning: this website is incredibly terrible."
Honestly, I couldn't really think of any better solution that would
a.) still list all services without outright censoring them, and
b.) prevent us from being seen as "endorsing" all services.
(Although maybe this whole thing feels a bit.. passive aggressive. I
feel like I'm tipping over someone's garden gnome in the middle of the
night while they're sleeping. Still, it's something.)
NOTE: This code is backward compatible; i.e., if you previously had a
service selected that's not common but don't have the "show all"
checkbox checked, it'll still show that service for convenience.
Services almost always recommend this be enabled, and I generally want
to make configuration easier for users; with CBR they don't have to set
things like the CRF value.
Just a little helper function that allows you to create an obs_data_t
object from a json file (rather than having to manually open it each
time and then call obs_data_create_from_json on the file data)
The rationale for rejecting these register calls is that these functions
may be required for the plugin to work properly, which can't be
guaranteed when libobs doesn't know about them.
This behavior may be revisited once the plugin manager is implemented,
to e.g. make it configurable (potentially per plugin) to allow loading
newer plugins in case they are known to work with the older libobs
The id and parent_id fields should now allow better recovery of the
actual call trees, though they aren't compatible between different data
dumps in a single profiler session anymore; for that reason the new
fields name_id and parent_name_id are introduced, they hold the old id
and parent_id values respectively
The single darray solution was potentially unsafe since you're not
allowed to modify the (encode) buffer between calls to
complex_input_data_proc which is potentially violated if the darray
had to be resized due to capacity being < 2 * in_bytes_required
Due to all the threads in libobs it wouldn't be safe to make that
parameter reconfigurable after libobs is initialized without adding
even more synchronization. On the other hand, adding a function to set
the name store before calling obs_startup would solve the problem of
passing a name store into libobs, but it can lead to more complicated
semantics for obs_get_profiler_name_store (e.g., should it always return
the current name store even if libobs isn't initialized until someone
calls set_name_store(NULL)? should obs_shutdown call
set_name_store(NULL)? Passing it as obs_startup parameter avoids
these (and hopefully other) potential misunderstandings
This allows people to use the base directory of cross-compiled
dependencies (typically our dependencies.zip file), rather than always
having to specify the actual include directory.
