Starting with VS2012, microsoft made a terribly stupid change to the way
working directory is handled. It basically will not work properly if
you need to run your executable from a specific location, it would only
run properly from debug if you also had your target directory set to an
environment variable, which was incredibly stupid. The visual studio
development team is run by chimpanzees with tiny brains, headed by
a broken AI core designed by gilbert gottfried.
I made a workaround for it so that it's much easier to set up debugging
in VS2013, so that all you need to do is enter in the the working
directory for it to work properly. Still somewhat of a pain but the Qt
addin kept overwriting the god forsaken environment path, and made
setting it up much more difficult than it was supposed to be.
- Implement the RTMP output module. This time around, we just use a
simple FLV muxer, then just write to the stream with RTMP_Write.
Easy and effective.
- Fix the FLV muxer, the muxer now outputs proper FLV packets.
- Output API:
* When using encoders, automatically interleave encoded packets
before sending it to the output.
* Pair encoders and have them automatically wait for the other to
start to ensure sync.
* Change 'obs_output_signal_start_fail' to 'obs_output_signal_stop'
because it was a bit confusing, and doing this makes a lot more
sense for outputs that need to stop suddenly (disconnections/etc).
- Encoder API:
* Remove some unnecessary encoder functions from the actual API and
make them internal. Most of the encoder functions are handled
automatically by outputs anyway, so there's no real need to expose
them and end up inadvertently confusing plugin writers.
* Have audio encoders wait for the video encoder to get a frame, then
start at the exact data point that the first video frame starts to
ensure the most accrate sync of video/audio possible.
* Add a required 'frame_size' callback for audio encoders that
returns the expected number of frames desired to encode with. This
way, the libobs encoder API can handle the circular buffering
internally automatically for the encoder modules, so encoder
writers don't have to do it themselves.
- Fix a few bugs in the serializer interface. It was passing the wrong
variable for the data in a few cases.
- If a source has video, make obs_source_update defer the actual update
callback until the tick function is called to prevent threading
issues.
