Twitch no longer recommend Main profile on their "Broadcast requirements"
page. The number of devices that can't decode High profile is very small
and limited to old, legacy devices such as the 1st generation iPad (six
years old). Additionally, these devices have limited resolution / FPS
support, so streams are often encoded at levels beyond what they could
decode even disregarding the H264 profile requirement. It's not worth
degrading the quality of streams for modern devices just to support these
legacy decoders. Twitch still provides low-complexity transcodes for
devices which cannot handle Source quality streams.
Update Restream.io ingests list and set recommended keyframe interval to
2.

Closesjp9000/obs-studio#565
This option is an x264-specific feature that may generate additional
keyframes when a major visual change in the output is detected. This
functionality is undesirable for streaming because it can cause
keyframes to become inconsistent and unpredictable, which can negatively
affect viewer buffering.
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.
YouTube Gaming is live since today (26 August 2015) and people will ask
for it.
This makes it a bit clearer that YouTube and YouTube Gaming
(which share the same ingestion system) work with OBS MP.
This will use the services.json file present in the cache, or if it has
the wrong format version or is corrupted for whatever reason, uses the
local version instead.
Also a minor refactor, makes it so that you call the open_services_file
function to get the services array, rather than having to get the file
name each time.
I made the rather tough call of not showing all services by default; I
didn't want to have to do this, but too many services are asking to be
put in to the program, and any time I add a service in to the list, I
feel uncomfortable because I feel like I'm potentially advertising them,
and/or they're using our program to advertise as well. Some of these
services are particularly bad at policing illegal/copyrighted content,
host content that I personally find distasteful or incredibly stupid
(what the heck is up with these "vaping" streams?), or are just fairly
terrible websites in general that I just feel uncomfortable with showing
by default.
However, I do not really want to reject anyone either, I want to let
their users be able to use our program with relative ease, but more than
anything I just simple don't want to be seen as "endorsing" some of
these websites (more than others in particular). I know that a "show
all services" checkbox is probably pretty pointless/superfluous thing to
do, but I feel like it's at the very least a means of saying "hey, I
don't really endorse these guys," or "use at your own risk," or
"warning: this website is incredibly terrible."
Honestly, I couldn't really think of any better solution that would
a.) still list all services without outright censoring them, and
b.) prevent us from being seen as "endorsing" all services.
(Although maybe this whole thing feels a bit.. passive aggressive. I
feel like I'm tipping over someone's garden gnome in the middle of the
night while they're sleeping. Still, it's something.)
NOTE: This code is backward compatible; i.e., if you previously had a
service selected that's not common but don't have the "show all"
checkbox checked, it'll still show that service for convenience.
Services almost always recommend this be enabled, and I generally want
to make configuration easier for users; with CBR they don't have to set
things like the CRF value.
Livecoding.tv (coding), gaminglive.tv (gaming), and beam.pro
(gaming/music)
I really don't see any problems with adding these particular services to
the local list while the actual remote ingest lookup code has yet to be
even started yet (as of this writing). They seem to be harmless
services that are dedicated to specific types of content (stated above).
API changed from:
------------------------
EXPORT void obs_service_apply_encoder_settings(obs_service_t *service,
obs_encoder_t *video_encoder,
obs_encoder_t *audio_encoder);
void obs_service_info::apply_encoder_settings(void *data
obs_encoder_t *video_encoder,
obs_encoder_t *audio_encoder);
To:
------------------------
EXPORT void obs_service_apply_encoder_settings(obs_service_t *service,
obs_data_t *video_encoder_settings,
obs_data_t *audio_encoder_settings);
void obs_service_info::apply_encoder_settings(void *data
obs_data_t *video_encoder_settings,
obs_data_t *audio_encoder_settings);
These changes make it so that instead of an encoder potentially being
updated more than once with different settings, that these functions
will be called for the specific settings being used, and the settings
will be updated according to what's required by the service.
This fixes that design flaw and ensures that there's no case where
obs_encoder_update is called where the settings might not have
service-specific settings applied.
