(This commit also modifies the following modules: UI,
deps/media-playback, coreaudio-encoder, decklink, linux-alsa,
linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, obs-filters, obs-libfdk,
obs-outputs, win-dshow, and win-wasapi)
Adds surround sound audio support to the core, core plugins, and user
interface.
Compatible streaming services: Twitch, FB 360 live
Compatible protocols: rtmp / mpeg-ts tcp udp
Compatible file formats: mkv mp4 ts (others untested)
Compatible codecs: ffmpeg aac, fdk_aac, CoreAudio aac,
opus, vorbis, pcm (others untested).
Tested streaming servers: wowza, nginx
HLS, mpeg-dash : surround passthrough
Html5 players tested with live surround:
videojs, mediaelement, viblast (hls+dash), hls.js
Decklink: on win32, swap channels order for 5.1 7.1
(due to different channel mapping on wav, mpeg, ffmpeg)
Audio filters: surround working.
Monitoring: surround working (win macOs linux (pulse-audio)).
VST: stereo plugins keep in general only the first two channels.
surround plugins should work (e.g. mcfx does).
OS: win, macOs, linux (alsa, pulse-audio).
Misc: larger audio bitrates unlocked to accommodate more channels
NB: mf-aac only supports mono and stereo + 5.1 on win 10
(not implemented due to lack of usefulness)

This adds the ability for users to change the names of audio sources
from the mixer including desktop and mic/aux sources.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1055
This makes it so the buttons appear "pressed" while streaming/recording
to more visibly help indicate that they are currently active.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1039
Allows the ability to hide/unhide sources in the mixer that the user
doesn't care about or doesn't necessarily want to see (such as video
sources that have audio but don't have any audio playing). If all
sources are hidden, the user can right-click the mixer's empty area and
choose "unhide all" via a context menu.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1002
With the addition of the peak volume indicator, themes may wish to change
these colors but there was no way to do so. This change updates the
VolumeControl widget to allow a stylesheet to adjust all possible colors
for the volume bar. In addtion, the Rachni theme is updated to demonstrate
this new capability.
Changes the UI to an adjustable user interface, allowing the user to
fully customize how the scenes list, sources list, the mixer,
transitions, and the buttons are oriented on the main window window.
(Edit by Jim: Removed "Fullscreen Preview" because that's already sort
of served by the normal fullscreen projector option via the preview
context menu)

I have always felt that the out of the box themes for OBS were quite
lacking, and have spent a lot of time going through and sorting out the
difficulties with the current setup. I've added a new themeID parameter to
several elements that were otherwise impossible to target with QSS in a
theme. Since Qt has pushed for the use of QML over QSS at this point,
these should be considered workarounds. Included is the theme I was
working on that can serve as a base. I'm hoping to encourage others to
make their own themes, so we can grow the available themes for OBS.
I am happy for any feedback on the theme itself, or other updates that
can me made to make creating new themes easier overall.
Uses a named mutex to detect if multiple instances of the program are
open, and if so warns the user. When running in portable mode, uses a
separate unique mutex name mapped to the user's config directory to
ensure that no two portable builds use the same config directory. This
way, portable builds do not conflict with normal builds or other
separate portable builds.
Shows performance stats, and streaming/recording stats, and helps warn
the user when they have less-than-optimal values with coloring on the
values (e.g. yellow when getting low on disk space, red when getting
really low)
The auto-configuration wizard is designed to allow first-time or
novice/uneducated users or to set up video and encoding settings in a
very quick and easy way. It'll automatically perform a bandwidth test,
and/or test the user's video settings to determine the most ideal
settings for streaming and recording (assuming a 1-pc setup).
The audio subsystem of windows is by default configured to lower the
volume of other things while a communications device (mic) is currently
active. This patch prevents that from being enabled with OBS. If the
user needs audio ducking enabled again for whatever reason, there is now
an option to re-enable it in advanced settings.

This is mainly to give visual feedback to those affected by NVENC not
working with older driver versions. Currenlty obs fails silently which
could go unnoticed for users who are using hotkeys as well as confuse
users who are not trained to read their logs when issues occur.

This commit adds the ability to copy a scene item's transform and crop
settings and paste those settings onto another scene item in any scene
or scene collection. It also changes the menu shortcut key for the
Transform action "Center to screen" from "C" to "n" because "C" is the
standard shortcut key for "Copy" in most other applications.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#719
Replay buffer and recording should be separate in case the user wants to
start recording from a specific point rather being forced to reconfigure
for regular recording.
Creates a new button on the main window below the recording button for
turning on/off the replay buffer.
Adds preview scaling to the right-click context menu for the preview
pane. This allows the ability to, for example, zoom the preview and
edit the preview 1:1 (canvas/base resolution). This was a missing
parity feature. Additionally, also allows scaling to the
"output/scaled" resolution the program is set to.
When the preview is in scale mode and is the focused widget, you can
hold space and drag with left click to change the zoomed position.
