Adds an 'advanced' mode to the output settings to allow more powerful
and complex streaming and recording options:
- Optionally use a different encoder for recording than for streaming to
allow the recording to use a different encoder or encoder settings if
desired (though at the cost if increased CPU usage depending on the
encoders being used)
- Use encoders other than x264
- Rescale the recording or streaming encoders in case the user wishes to
stream and record at different resolutions
- Select the specific mixer to use for recording and for streaming,
allowing the stream and recording to use separate mixers (to for
example allow a user to stream the game/mic audio but only record the
game audio)
- Use FFmpeg output for the recording button instead of only recording
h264/aac to FLV, allowing the user to output to various different
types of file formats or remote URLs, as well as allowing the user to
select and use different encoders and encoder settings that are
available in the FFmpeg library
- Optionally allow the use of multiple audio tracks in a single output
if the file formats or stream services support it
In the advanced audio properties, the last set of controls designate
what tracks the audio of a specific source is applied to, but for some
reason I named it 'Media Channels'. It feels a bit confusing of a name.
I feel like it should really just be called 'Tracks' here for lack of a
better term.
Use QDialogButtonBox to add "Okay" and "Cancel" buttons to the
properties dialog. The core functionality of the dialog is not changed;
I.E. the settings are still applied to the source as the user changes
them. If the user clicks "Okay", the dialog simply exits. If the user
clicks "Cancel", the original settings are reapplied to the source then
the dialog exits. If the window is closed by any other means (I.E. by
the main obs window closing) then the properties dialog prompts the user
if they changed anything and asks if they wish to save their settings.
In order to implement this last feature, a method of checking for open
dialogs and sending each a quit message is added to the closeEvent()
method for OBSBasic.
This dialog gives options such as increasing audio past 100%, forcing
the audio of a source to mono, and setting the audio sync offset of a
source (which was an oft-requested feature)
I feel like people keep mistaking how x264 preset functions. They often
associate it with their own CPU speed, and I feel the name does not help
with that issue. I think it may be for the best to just take it out.
At best, it will keep people away from using it unless they know what
they're doing, and at worst, people at least won't be able to associate
it with their CPU as easily anymore.
Change checkbox with text "Advanced Encoder Settings" to "Use Advanced
Encoder Settings". This way it will hint that the settings will be
disabled when unchecked.
