Saves a bit of bandwidth when the update module just updates binaries
for the specific architecture being updated. Especially true when
libcef needs to be updated.
This is just for the update module -- allows us the ability to
seamlessly update the program to VC2017 and seamlessly install Visual
C++ 2017 redistributables without potential issues that could be caused
by GPL usage for the update module.
In the vt_h264_video_info function, the format of the video to be encoded is
always being set to VIDEO_FORMAT_NV12, dispite the presence of code to set
the video format to VIDEO_FORMAT_I420 or VIDEO_FORMAT_I444. This commit fixes
that function to respect the video format choice of the user.
In addition, whilst testing this fix initially, I also discovered that the
4:4:4 colour format is not supported by the VideoToolbox H264 encoder.
Looking at the VideoToolbox code in ffmpeg as a reference, the ffmpeg code
errors out if a color format other than NV12 or I420 is set. Therefore, this
commit also logs a warning about I444 not being supported, and uses the NV12
default.
The fullrange variable is used to set appropriate video format information in
vt_h264_video_info. Set fullrange first so the video format data is correct in
all cases.
If a config file value is set to a blank value, the value would not be
set and the default value would be used. This fixes a bug where the
user would try to remove the replay buffer prefix, only to have the
prefix be added again next time they start the program.
The cutoff hack was added many, many years ago as recommended by
Konverter. Since then, there has been much work on the AAC encoder, so
this hack should no longer be necessary.
The windows media foundation H264 encoders have been deprecated for over
a year, and microsoft's media foundation AAC encoder has had a continued
issue with occasional random audio glitches. The FFmpeg AAC encoder has
had recent development, and is more than sufficient to be able to handle
the task of encoding in terms of both quality and performance, so it's
better just to use the FFmpeg encoder from here on out.
As this plugin is no longer needed, for the next year or two it'll still
be compiled and included, but as a blank plugin that does nothing. The
reason why it's still being included as a blank no-operation plugin is
to overwrite older versions of the plugin. That way if a user installs
a newer OBS version over an older one, it won't load up the older win-mf
plugin where the encoders still were enabled.
This also fixes some rarely reported media foundation crashes that can
happen on startup.
Fixes an issue where align_pos could be smaller than
sizeof(struct shmem_data), potentially overwriting memory of the header.

Caches the frequency of the performance counter. It was supposed to be
caching it already, but it seems that code was unintentionally not
included.
