Add the include directories found by cmake to the v4l2 plugin.
This allows for the plugin to compile when the vl42 headers were
found in a directory that is not normally in the search path of the
compiler (e.g. /usr/local/include)
Fix build errors for older versions of the api where
VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS was defined but V4L2_IN_CAP_DV_TIMINGS was not.
I was under the impression that they were added at the same time, but
apparently i was wrong there.
Thanks to kmoore@FreeBSD.org for spotting this on FreeBSD.
Add compatibility with older versions of the api by not failing to
build when the VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS is missing. In older versions
of the api there was a different system to get dv-timing presets, which
was replaced by the current enumeration system with Linux 3.4.
This will allow for the plugin to be built against older versions of the
api by disabling the enumeration support, thus reducing the
functionality for some devices.
Improve compatibility with older versions of the api by not requiring
V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS. If we don't have this, we fall back to using the
capabilities member for the whole device instead of the device_caps
member for the currently selected subdevice. Just like we would do if
the device would not support this.
The new device_caps field was introduced with Linux 3.3.
Add BGRX and BGRA as supported video formats, since obs can handle them
directly. I unfortunately missed those when i initially wrote this
mapping due to my webcam not offering those formats.
Add a source property to enable buffering of frames, which is enabled by
default. This replaces the old "Use system timing" option by setting the
unbuffered source flag instead of using different timestamps.
While similar in intentions to the old option, this method should reduce
latency even more.
Use the macro from the mac capture plugin to convert the fourcc integer
value to a string. This makes the debug statement for the pixel format
slightly more readable for the casual developer.
Remove the "Leave Unchanged" option for the input and video format
select.
This option was primarily added for cases in which the
resolution and framerate are set by another program or the capture
device itself and the values are not directly supported by the plugin.
One major usecase here would be capture devices for tv signals which
might be set to a spcific resolution and refresh rate, and might fail
to initialize in case any other combination of those settings is forced.
In case of the input this option did not make much sense, as the first
input is probably the best default option in most cases.
For the video format this default is even bad in some cases. If an
format emulated by libv4l2 is selected for example, this will usually
configure the device to use mjpeg with libv4l2 converting it to some
format obs can use. When obs or the source is then restarted and the
"Leave Unchanged" is enabled the plugin will fail, because it will only
notice that the device is set to mjpeg, without any knowledge about the
possibility of letting libv4l2 handle the conversion.
Using the first available and supported format is not nescessarily the
best choice, but still preferable to some random format that will
cause the plugin to not capture at all. Forcing a choice here will
hopefully also make the plugin behaviour more predicatable for the user.
Remove the constraint for device inputs to be of the type "CAMERA".
This was added under the false assumption that inputs of the type
"TUNER" are only used for control purposes.
This adds helper function to disable/enable all properties which is
used in the device selected callback to enable/disable the properties
when the selected device is available/unavailable.
This adds some code to the device enumeration that checks if the
currently selected device is present. In case it is not it will
add the device but disable it.
This moves the calls to the property modified functions so the old
handler can close the device. Otherwise this would cause the device
to be opened multiple times.
This replaces the var in the source struct that are handling the
timestamp offset with a local one in the capture thread.
This change is mostly to make the code more readable.
This moves the enabling/resetting of the file descriptors inside the
capture loop so it is done before each select call. Why this even worked
before is unclear, but doing it the *right* way seems to reduce latency.
When a new device starts up, make it so that the first timestamp that
occurs starts from 0. This prevents the internal source timestamp
handling from trying to buffer new frames to the new timestamp value in
case the device changes.
Due to potential driver issues with certain devices, the timestamps are
not always reliable. This option allows of using the time in which the
frame was received as a timestamp instead.
This reverts commit c3f4b0f018.
The obs_source_frame should not need to take flags to do this. This
shouldn't be a setting associated with the frame, but rather a setting
associated with the source itself. This was the wrong approach to
solving this particular problem.
This reverts commit cd306d975a.
This removes the 'unbuffered' property for the time being. There should
be a better way of handling this, such as using system timestamps.
Also, the obs_source_frame::flags member needs to be removed and
replaced with something a bit more ideal.
This allows the user to select whether to use unbuffered video or not.
Unbuffered video cause the video frames to play back as soon as they're
received, rather than be buffered and attempt to play them back
according to the timestamp value of each frame.
Add 'flags' member variable to obs_source_frame structure.
The OBS_VIDEO_UNBUFFERED flags causes the video to play back as soon as
it's received (in the next frame playback), causing it to disregard the
timestamp value for the sake of video playback (however, note that the
video timestamp is still used for audio synchronization if audio is
present on the source as well).
This is partly a convenience feature, and partly a necessity for certain
plugins (such as the linux v4l plugin) where timestamp information for
the video frames can sometimes be unreliable.
This adds code to set up the udev monitoring library and use the events
to detect connects/disconnects of devices.
When the currently used device is disconnected the plugin will stop
recording and clean up, so that the device node is freed up.
On reconnection of the device the plugin will use the event to
automatically start the capture again.
