If the FFMPEG_AVCODEC_LIBRARIES variable does not exist, it will
generate a cmake error, so check to make sure the variable exists before
executing this code.
These fucntions prevent the computer from going to sleep, hibernating,
or starting up a screen saver.
On linux, it will also attempt to use DBus to prevent gnome/kde/etc
sleep, but it's not necessarily required in order to compile the
library. Otherwise, it will simply call "xdg-screensaver reset" once
every 30 seconds to reset the screensaver timer.
This feature allows a user to delay an output (as long as the output
itself supports it). Needless to say this intended for live streams,
where users may want to delay their streams to prevent stream sniping,
cheating, and other such things.
The design this time was a bit more elaborate, but still simple in
design: the user can now schedule stops/starts without having to wait
for the stream itself to stop before being able to take any action.
Optionally, they can also forcibly stop stream (and delay) in case
something happens which they might not want to be streamed.
Additionally, a new option was added to preserve stream cutoff point on
disconnections/reconnections, so that if you get disconnected while
streaming, when it reconnects, it will reconnect right at the point
where it left off. This will probably be quite useful for a number of
applications in addition to regular delay, such as setting the delay to
1 second and then using this feature to minimize, for example, a
critical stream such as a tournament stream from getting any of its
stream data cut off. However, using this feature will of course cause
the stream data to buffer and increase delay (and memory usage) while
it's in the process of reconnecting.
Microsoft basically deprecated GetVersion/GetVersionEx, so now you have
to query the file version of kernel32.dll in order to get the actual
windows version. Because of the steps involved in getting the windows
version are fairly complicated, this is an exported libobs helper
function that can be used to get the windows version if needed.
(Microsoft does have its own set of helper functions for this but the
API feels a bit.. awkward, and you can't actually get the real windows
version with them)
A slightly refactored version of R1CH's crash handler, allows crash
handling for windows which provides stack traces of all threads and a
list of all loaded modules. Also shows the processor, windows version,
and current libobs version.
This adds functions for piping a command line program's stdin or stdout.
Note however that this is unidirectional only.
This will be especially useful later on when implementing MP4 output,
because MP4 output has to be piped to prevent unexpected program
termination from corrupting the file.
This adds a new library of audio control functions mainly for the use in
GUIS. For now it includes an implementation of a software fader that can
be attached to sources in order to easily control the volume.
The fader can translate between fader-position, volume in dB and
multiplier with a configurable mapping function.
Currently only a cubic mapping (mul = fader_pos ^ 3) is included, but
different mappings can easily be added.
Due to libobs saving/restoring the source volume from the multiplier,
the volume levels for existing source will stay the same, and live
changing of the mapping will work without changing the source volume.
Just use platform-nix.c code for general stuff that mac is compliant
with, and put a define around everything else. Take that code out of
platform-cocoa.m.
Added os_opendir, os_readdir, and os_closedir to be able to query
available files within a directory.
- Updated the services API so that it links up with an output and
the output gets data from that service rather than via settings.
This allows the service context to have control over how an output is
used, and makes it so that the URL/key/etc isn't necessarily some
static setting.
Also, if the service is attached to an output, it will stick around
until the output is destroyed.
- The settings interface has been updated so that it can allow the
usage of service plugins. What this means is that now you can create
a service plugin that can control aspects of the stream, and it
allows each service to create their own user interface if they create
a service plugin module.
- Testing out saving of current service information. Saves/loads from
JSON in to obs_data_t, seems to be working quite nicely, and the
service object information is saved/preserved on exit, and loaded
again on startup.
- I agonized over the settings user interface for days, and eventually
I just decided that the only way that users weren't going to be
fumbling over options was to split up the settings in to simple/basic
output, pre-configured, and then advanced for advanced use (such as
multiple outputs or services, which I'll implement later).
This was particularly painful to really design right, I wanted more
features and wanted to include everything in one interface but
ultimately just realized from experience that users are just not
technically knowledgable about it and will end up fumbling with the
settings rather than getting things done.
Basically, what this means is that casual users only have to enter in
about 3 things to configure their stream: Stream key, audio bitrate,
and video bitrate. I am really happy with this interface for those
types of users, but it definitely won't be sufficient for advanced
usage or for custom outputs, so that stuff will have to be separated.
- Improved the JSON usage for the 'common streaming services' context,
I realized that JSON arrays are there to ensure sorting, while
forgetting that general items are optimized for hashing. So
basically I'm just using arrays now to sort items in it.
Add API for streaming services. The services API simplifies the
creation of custom service features and user interface.
Custom streaming services later on will be able to do things such as:
- Be able to use service-specific APIs via modules, allowing a more
direct means of communicating with the service and requesting or
setting service-specific information
- Get URL/stream key via other means of authentication such as OAuth,
or be able to build custom URLs for services that require that sort
of thing.
- Query information (such as viewer count, chat, follower
notifications, and other information)
- Set channel information (such as current game, current channel title,
activating commercials)
Also, I reduce some repeated code that was used for all libobs objects.
This includes the name of the object, the private data, settings, as
well as the signal and procedure handlers.
I also switched to using linked lists for the global object lists,
rather than using an array of pointers (you could say it was..
pointless.) ..Anyway, the linked list info is also stored in the shared
context data structure.
- obs-outputs module: Add preliminary code to send out data, and add
an FLV muxer. This time we don't really need to build the packets
ourselves, we can just use the FLV muxer and send it directly to
RTMP_Write and it should automatically parse the entire stream for us
without us having to do much manual code at all. We'll see how it
goes.
- libobs: Add AVC NAL packet parsing code
- libobs/media-io: Add quick helper functions for audio/video to get
the width/height/fps/samplerate/etc rather than having to query the
info structures each time.
- libobs (obs-output.c): Change 'connect' signal to 'start' and 'stop'
signals. 'start' now specifies an error code rather than whether it
simply failed, that way the client can actually know *why* a failure
occurred. Added those error codes to obs-defs.h.
- libobs: Add a few functions to duplicate/free encoder packets
- Implement windows monitor capture (code is so much cleaner than in
OBS1). Will implement duplication capture later
- Add GDI texture support to d3d11 graphics library
- Fix precision issue with sleep timing, you have to call
timeBeginPeriod otherwise windows sleep will be totally erratic.
