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.
By default, video plays back based upon the timestamp for each frame,
and buffers the frames as needed to ensure that they play back at the
expected timing.
However, this can add some minor additional delay to the video, and may
not be ideal for certain devices such as webcams and generally any
device that has minimal latency. However, because those are the only
type of devices that typically have drivers, there's no real need to
have it on by default.
This adds an option to use buffering, and leaves it off by default.

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.
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.
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.
For the sake of consistency, renamed these two functions to include
_value at the end so they are consistent.
Renamed: To:
-------------------------------------------------------
obs_data_has_default obs_data_has_default_value
obs_data_has_autoselect obs_data_has_autoselect_value
obs_data_item_has_default obs_data_item_has_default_value
obs_data_item_has_autoselect obs_data_item_has_autoselect_value
This functionality can now be handled automatically because locale can
now be freed seaparately from obs_module_unload with
obs_module_free_locale, which is called automatically when the module is
being freed.
Since adding a source now opens the config dialog for that source
the convenience gain from having a device automatically start capturing
is outweighed by the inconvenience from having captured images
unintentionally recorded/streamed
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.
Having the value stored here is somewhat pointless, so this is one step
in fixing the locale handling. Locale should be handled by the modules
themselves with their own loaded locale lookup information.
