Code submissions have continually suffered from formatting
inconsistencies that constantly have to be addressed. Using
clang-format simplifies this by making code formatting more consistent,
and allows automation of the code formatting so that maintainers can
focus more on the code itself instead of code formatting.
This reverts commit 958167c4f7.
This caused certain transcoders (specifically Twitch's transcoders) to
misinterpret the data and transcode the video incorrectly.
Back in an older commit, the default YUV colorspace was changed to 601
in order to ensure correct playback in video players that ignore the
contents of the H264 header.
x264's "undef" is unfortunately not what players that don't ignore the
header expect for BT.601, resulting in incorrect colors when played
back. Setting it to "bt470bg", similar to what is specified in ffmpeg
outputs, remedies this issue.
VFR encoding mode was originally added experimentally, but in truth,
it's nothing but a detriment because it can cause wild bitrate
fluctuations. It's still a constant framerate even when VFR mode is on
anyway.
Due to the fact that people follow terrible guides that ignorantly
recommend opencl, the "opencl" custom x264 option was blocked. However,
because some people still apparently want to use it, it's being renamed
to "opencl_is_experimental_and_potentially_unstable" so that anyone who
uses this option realizes that they should probably think twice about
using the option rather than just follow some terrible guide that tells
them to use it.
Whether buffer size is visible is determined by the value of the "Use
buffer size" property (the "use_bufsize" setting).

This is why macros should be used for settings strings.

Instead of having a "cbr" setting that turns CBR on and off, adds a
"rate_control" parameter that sets the rate control method, which can be
one of the following: CBR, ABR, VBR, CRF.
If the "cbr" setting is used, it will throw a deprecation warning to the
log.
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 just changes the x264 encoder settings; it doesn't actually change
the framerate of OBS. OBS will always output at a constant framerate
regardless of whether this option is on or off; this just changes how
the encoder encodes the data.
API Changed (in struct obs_encoder_info):
----------------------------------------
bool (*get_audio_info)(void *data, struct audio_convert_info *info);
bool (*get_video_info)(void *data, struct video_scale_info *info);
To:
----------------------------------------
void (*get_audio_info)(void *data, struct audio_convert_info *info);
void (*get_video_info)(void *data, struct video_scale_info *info);
The encoder video/audio information callbacks no longer need to manually
query the libobs video/audio information, that information is now passed
via the parameter, which the callbacks can modify.
The refactor that reduces boilerplate in the encoder video/audio
information callbacks also removes the need for their return values, so
change the return types to void.
Add CBR, CRF to properties so that it can be changed by the user. If
CBR is on, CRF will be disabled. Also added a 'Use Custom Buffer Size'
option to make it so that the buffer size will automatically be set to
the bitrate if its value is false. This is primarily a convenience
feature for users.
I originally had it set the color space and color range in the video
info callback, but I forgot that it's a function that's called after the
encoder is initialized. You can change the color space and color range,
but you have to reconfigure the encoder, and there's no real reason to
do that.
This causes x264 to use the currently set color space and color range
of the video media. This helps prevent issues with decoding where the
colors wouldn't look right due to the fact that these settings were
never specified to x264, and prevents darkness and brightness from
looking washed out due to a potentially incorrect color range.
Typedef pointers are unsafe. If you do:
typedef struct bla *bla_t;
then you cannot use it as a constant, such as: const bla_t, because
that constant will be to the pointer itself rather than to the
underlying data. I admit this was a fundamental mistake that must
be corrected.
All typedefs that were pointer types will now have their pointers
removed from the type itself, and the pointers will be used when they
are actually used as variables/parameters/returns instead.
This does not break ABI though, which is pretty nice.
If tune or preset is invalid it'll just cause x264 to not load at all,
which I feel is a bit over the top. Instead, if the values aren't
valid, then just make it default to no tune if the tune is invalid, and
'veryfast' preset if the preset is invalid.
This should probably be reevaluated once we have
global hotkeys or other functions that would require
OBS to not be sent to sleep while in the background
without having any sort of encoder running
According to issue #204 on the obs-studio repository, always setting the
ABR rate control method fixes the issue. I checked, and this was and
issue, and that does seem to fix the issue properly.
