The built-in format selector failed in certain cases like UtVideo now
using a differently packeg RGB format. FFmpeg has a format selection
functionality built-in that does pick the correct format however
(avcodec_find_best_pix_fmt_of_list), so we can simply use that instead.
Certain ffmpeg parameters such as "bufsize" or "maxrate" have to be
applied to the context rather than to "priv_data". In order to make sure
options are still passed to the encoder setting set AV_OPT_SEARCH_CHILDREN.
Unbuffered mode is causing the frames of media sources to potentially
have some slight jitter in playback, so instead of using unbuffered mode
with media sources, just leave buffering on. There may be a frame or so
of latency, but it shouldn't be noticeable to most users.
Lookahead requires examining frame data over a large number of frames,
so when pkv added the change to fully reset the encoder when the bitrate
changes, nvenc will invalidate all buffers and basically starts over
from a completely clean slate.
It's possible to make lookahead work when changing the bitrate, but due
to how lookahead seems to works internally in nvenc, it will cause
continually increasing latency every time the bitrate is updated, which
is unideal.
Additionally, when lookahead is enabled, deadlocks can occur when
changing the bitrate in a thread other than the graphics thread.
Currently we allow it to be reset outside of the graphics thread. From
limited investigating, it would appear this deadlock occurs because
nvenc is locking and releasing old textures.
So instead of dealing with all these potential issues, disable the
ability to adjust bitrate when the user has lookahead enabled on nvenc.
It's not really worth implementing dynamic bitrate support when
lookahead is enabled if the latency is just going to continually
increase for every bitrate adjustment anyway.
If a user has a tremendous amount of media files, this can cause
instability. Instead, make hardware decoding something the user has to
explicitly enable.
Although hardware decoding was technically enabled by default even
before we fixed it, fixing it was essentially a change to defaults for
users because it was just not even available before version 24.
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 commit also modifies the UI, obs-ffmpeg, and obs-output modules)
Fixes a long-time regression where the program would lock up if an
encode call fails. Shuts down all outputs associated with the failing
encoder and displays an error message to the user.
Ideally, it would be best if a more detailed error could be displayed to
the user about the nature of the error, though the primary problem is
the encoder errors are typically not something the user would be able to
understand. The current message is a bit of a generic error message;
improvement is welcome.
Another suggestion is to try to have the encoder restart seamlessly,
though it would take a significant amount of work to be able to make it
do something like that properly, and it sort of assumes that encoder
failures are sporadic, which may not necessarily be the case with some
hardware encoders on some systems. It may be better just to use another
encoder in that case. For now, seamless restart is ruled out.
The initial DTS for non-fractional framerates was being incorrectly
calculated. It assumed that the time base was in frames when it was
not.

Instead of having ffmpeg-mux stored in a data directory, install it to
the primary binary directory. On windows, this fixes ffmpeg-mux
potentially accessing the wrong FFmpeg libraries (some programs install
them to system32, foolishly), and instead ensures that it uses the ones
that come with the program. On Linux, ensures that a binary is in its
appropriate directory (/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin rather than a subset
of /usr/share or /usr/local/share).
The quadro P5000 would incorrectly be considered blacklisted because it
used a string search for the P500, which is an earlier quadro variant
that does not have NVENC support.
To fix this, instead of just doing a string search, additionally check
to make sure that there preceding or trailing numbers on the adapter
name.
As per mantis issue 1403, the current wording for ClearOnMediaEnd is
ambiguous. Since it says "Hide source", some may believe it to mean the
scene item in the sources list will have it's visibility set to hidden.
This wording makes it clearer what the checkbox actually does.
