Because we're using .ini format, the translation servies spit out files
with .ini extensions, so this makes it so we don't necessarily have to
rename those files from .ini to .txt before merging.
The status bar now displays:
- Auto-reconnect information (reconnecting and reconnect success)
- Dropped frames (as well as percentage of total video frames)
- Duration of session
- CPU usage of the program
- Kbp/s
The OBSBasic class is getting a bit big, so I separated out the
status bar code to its own class derived from QStatusBar.
Contains Move Up, Move Down, Move to Top, Move to Bottom. Also assigns
Ctrl-Up, Ctrl-Down, Ctrl-Home, Ctrl-End to each action.
This was also added to the right-click context menu popup for sources.
The removeItemAction just for a keyboard shortcut was unnecessary.
Instead, use the toolbar button to associate a shortcut with, and remove
the removeItemAction object.
I screwed it up a bit originally, using && instead of ||.
Use 'trimmed' function to prevent sources with leading or trailing
whitespace.
Also, do not allow an empty value.
Similar to the shader functions, the effect parameter functions take
the effect as a parameter. However, the effect parameter is pretty
pointless, because the effect parameter.. parameter stores the effect
pointer interally.
The locale parameter was a mistake, because it puts extra needless
burden upon the module developer to have to handle this variable for
each and every single callback function. The parameter is being removed
in favor of a single centralized module callback function that
specifically updates locale information for a module only when needed.
This API is used to set the current locale for libobs, which it will set
for all modules when a module is loaded or specifically when the locale
is manually changed.
Currently, if a user presses 'OK' or 'Apply' on the settings window, it
will save all data from all controls on a settings pane, regardless of
whether of not they were changed. The major issue with this is that
setting the data will overwrite all default values, making it impossible
for default values to be used if a user didn't actually change a value.
(Thanks to palana for pointing this fact out)
So instead, mark a control as 'changed' using QObject::property() and
QObject::sender(), and add a few helper functions to controls to ensure
that they are checked to see whether they were actually changed directly
by the user before saving the value to the config.
If the scene item has a bounding box set up for it, do not make it use
aspect ratio clamping by default.
Instead, make it so that shift will turn on aspect ratio, and make it
also apply to all types of bounding box modes.
The only time where aspect ratio clamping should apply by default is
when bounds are not in use (i.e. when a source is just created). Some
will disagree with me just because that's how photoshop does it, but
we're not photoshop, and I feel that the majority of users will have
more trouble with it disabled by default than enabled by default.
So to sum it up:
If bounds inactive, clamp aspect ratio by default, because scene items
start out with it inactive, and it directly affects the scale.
If bounds active, do not clamp aspect ratio by default, because clamping
to aspect ratio doesn't particularly have an effect for mode bounds
modes except for "stretch to bounds".
Instead of using bounds to force the source to be centered (and
unrotated), just center the source positionally on the screen. Will
also preserve rotation.
There's no reason to represent this value in terms of scale. Scale is a
useless value for users to use. What are they going to enter, 0.5?
2.0? 0.25?
Even if it can be subject to change by the source itself, and even if
it's still converted to scale internally, having it display the base
source size value is much more ideal for the user.
Every time I created a source I found myself in need to actually open up
the properties. It was getting somewhat on my nerves, so I decided to
just make it automatically pop up when the source is created.
Structures with anonymous unions would a warning when you do a brace
assignment on them.
Also fixed some unused parameters and removed some unused variables.
Add a 10 pixel padding to the sides and remove viewport cutting to
ensure that the editing rectangles are visible even when in the upper
corners.
Also, add a black background for the actual 'scene' in the preview
window so that the scene boundries are actually visible in relation to
the rest of the preview space.
So, scene editing was interesting (and by interesting I mean
excruciating). I almost implemented 'manipulator' visuals (ala 3dsmax
for example), and used 3 modes for controlling position/rotation/size,
but in a 2D editing, it felt clunky, so I defaulted back to simply
click-and-drag for movement, and then took a similar though slightly
different looking approach for handling scaling and reszing.
I also added a number of menu item helpers related to positioning,
scaling, rotating, flipping, and resetting the transform back to
default.
There is also a new 'transform' dialog (accessible via menu) which will
allow you to manually edit every single transform variable of a scene
item directly if desired.
If a scene item does not have bounds active, pulling on the sides of a
source will cause it to resize it via base scale rather than by the
bounding box system (if the source resizes that scale will apply). If
bounds are active, it will modify the bounding box only instead.
How a source scales when a bounding box is active depends on the type of
bounds being used. You can set it to scale to the inner bounds, the
outer bounds, scale to bounds width only, scale to bounds height only,
and a setting to stretch to bounds (which forces a source to always draw
at the bounding box size rather than be affected by its internal size).
You can also set it to be used as a 'maximum' size, so that the source
doesn't necessarily get scaled unless it extends beyond the bounds.
Like in OBS1, objects will snap to the edges unless the control key is
pressed. However, this will now happen even if the object is rotated or
oriented in any strange way. Snapping will also occur when stretching
or changing the bounding box size.
This adds support for the more smooth volume levels that accounts for
both level and magnitude. Currently, it just averages level and
magnitude, later on a full audio meter control can be made that would
properly utilize level, magnitude, and peak.
Also cleaned up the code a bit and removed some trailing whitespace.
Character conversion functions did not previously ask for a maximum
buffer size for their 'dst' parameter, it's unsafe to assume some given
destination buffer may have enough size to accommodate a conversion.
Implement the 'file path' in output settings, and implement the 'start
recording' button, though for the time being I'm just going to make it
use a directory rather than allow custom file names.
This file output will actually share the video and audio encoder with
the stream.
I don't really know what to do about MP4 -- I don't really like the idea
of saving directly in the program, if you do and the program crashes,
that MP4 file is lost. I'm contemplating making some sort of mp4 output
process stub. So no MP4 file output for the time being.
If you need MP4, just remux it with FFmpeg:
ffmpeg -i flv_file.flv -acodec copy -vcodec copy mp4_file.mp4
On windows this will return the documents\video directory, but on
linux/mac it'll just return $HOME for the time being because I don't
know if there really are any other appropriate adequate paths to use.
Perhaps someone else can be willing to fill this in if they wish.
Added github gist API uploading to the help menu to help make problems a
bit easier to debug in the future. It's somewhat vital that this
functionality be implemented before any release in order to analyze any
given problem a user may be experiencing.
When creating a source, it was possible to create duplicates. That has
now been fixed. I think that perhaps libobs shouldn't even allow for
duplicates in its core code, just to be safe. Will have to consider
doing that in the future.
Add a 'source selection' dialog to replace the 'enter a name' dialog.
This new dialog allows you to make new instances of pre-existing sources
so that you can add a pre-existing source to a different scene, or in to
the same scene more than once.
Also started implementing locale.
Comtemplating switching to JSON-based locale later, so we can add things
like descriptions/disambiguation, and so we can use jansson's built-in
hash table when doing the string lookup.
- Add volume control
These volume controls are basically nothing more than sliders. They
look terrible and hopefully will be as temporary as they are
terrible.
- Allow saving of specific non-user sources via obs_load_source and
obs_save_source functions.
- Save data of desktop/mic audio sources (sync data, volume data, etc),
and load the data on startup.
- Make it so that a scene is created by default if first time using the
application. On certain operating systems where supported, a default
capture will be created. Desktop capture on mac, particularly. Not
sure what to do about windows because monitor capture on windows 7 is
completely terrible and is bad to start users off with.
This saves scenes/sources from json on exit, and properly loads it back
up when starting up the program again, as well as the currently active
scene.
I had to add a 'load' and 'save' callback to the source interface
structure because I realizes that certain sources (such as scenes)
operate different with their saved data; scenes for example would have
to keep track of their settings information constantly, and that was
somewhat unacceptable to make it functional.
The optional 'load' callback will be called only after having loaded
setttings specifically from file/imported data, and the 'save' function
will be called only specifically when data actually needs to be saved.
I also had to adjust the obs_scene code so that it's a regular input
source type now, and I also modified it so that it doesn't have some
strange custom creation code anymore. The obs_scene_create function is
now simply just a wrapper for obs_source_create. You could even create
a scene with obs_source_create manually as well.
