The informative text is meant to be additional information, not the main
information. If you use informative text without using regular text, it
causes the message box to get all squishy.
Do not use the object returned from obs_data_get_obj to set new
settings. It could be the default object, which means you'd just end up
modifying the default data, which won't get saved. Always create a new
object when setting sub-object data. It doesn't particularly hurt
anything.
Multiplication of the matricies was being done in the wrong direction.
This caused source transformations to come out looking incorrect, for
example the linux-xshm source's cursor would not be drawn correctly or
in the right position if the source was moved/scaled/rotated. The
problem just turned out to be that the gs_matrix_* functions were
multiplying in the wrong direction. Reverse the direction of
multiplication, and the problem is solved.
For the sake of consistency, renamed these two functions to include
_value at the end so they are consistent.
Renamed: To:
-------------------------------------------------------
obs_data_has_default obs_data_has_default_value
obs_data_has_autoselect obs_data_has_autoselect_value
obs_data_item_has_default obs_data_item_has_default_value
obs_data_item_has_autoselect obs_data_item_has_autoselect_value
Instead of having functions like obs_signal_handler() that can fail to
properly specify their actual intent in the name (does it signal a
handler, or does it return a signal handler?), always prefix functions
that are meant to get information with 'get' to make its functionality
more explicit.
Previous names: New names:

API Removed:
- graphics_t obs_graphics();
Replaced With:
- void obs_enter_graphics();
- void obs_leave_graphics();
Description:
obs_graphics() was somewhat of a pointless function. The only time
that it was ever necessary was to pass it as a parameter to
gs_entercontext() followed by a subsequent gs_leavecontext() call after
that. So, I felt that it made a bit more sense just to implement
obs_enter_graphics() and obs_leave_graphics() functions to do the exact
same thing without having to repeat that code. There's really no need
to ever "hold" the graphics pointer, though I suppose that could change
in the future so having a similar function come back isn't out of the
question.
Still, this at least reduces the amount of unnecessary repeated code for
the time being.
Changed:
- obs_source_gettype
To:
- enum obs_source_type obs_source_get_type(obs_source_t source);
- const char *obs_source_get_id(obs_source_t source);
This function was inconsistent for a number of reasons. First, it
returns both the ID and the type of source (input/transition/filter),
which is inconsistent with the name of "get type". Secondly, the
'squishy' naming convention which has just turned out to be bad
practice and causes inconsistencies. So it's now replaced with two
functions that just return the type and the ID.
Prefix with obs_ for the sake of consistency
Renamed enums:
- order_movement (now obs_order_movement)
Affected functions:
- obs_source_filter_setorder
- obs_sceneitem_setorder
The naming here is a poor choice, a source type determines if a source
is either a regular input, a filter, or a transition. The ID is the
actual unique identifier of a source.
The OBSBasic UI will now allow the use of a subdirectory of the user
application data directory for third-party plugins. Though I'm not
entirely sure if this ideal or not. Regardless, this is one of the
first (of many) steps towards a plugin manager.
On windows, this is %appdata%/obs-studio/plugins
On linux, this is ~/.obs-studio/plugins
On mac, this is ~/Library/Application Support/obs-sudio/plugins
Changed API:
- char *obs_find_plugin_file(const char *sub_path);
Changed to: char *obs_module_file(const char *file);
Cahnge it so you no longer need to specify a sub-path such as:
obs_find_plugin_file("module_name/file.ext")
Instead, now automatically handle the module data path so all you need
to do is:
obs_module_file("file.ext")
- int obs_load_module(const char *name);
Changed to: int obs_open_module(obs_module_t *module,
const char *path,
const char *data_path);
bool obs_init_module(obs_module_t module);
Change the module loading API so that if the front-end chooses, it can
load modules directly from a specified path, and associate a data
directory with it on the spot.
The module will not be initialized immediately; obs_init_module must
be called on the module pointer in order to fully initialize the
module. This is done so a module can be disabled by the front-end if
the it so chooses.
New API:
- void obs_add_module_path(const char *bin, const char *data);
These functions allow you to specify new module search paths to add,
and allow you to search through them, or optionally just load all
modules from them. If the string %module% is included, it will
replace it with the module's name when that string is used as a
lookup. Data paths are now directly added to the module's internal
storage structure, and when obs_find_module_file is used, it will look
up the pointer to the obs_module structure and get its data directory
that way.
Example:
obs_add_module_path("/opt/obs/my-modules/%module%/bin",
"/opt/obs/my-modules/%module%/data");
This would cause it to additionally look for the binary of a
hypthetical module named "foo" at /opt/obs/my-modules/foo/bin/foo.so
(or libfoo.so), and then look for the data in
/opt/obs/my-modules/foo/data.
This gives the front-end more flexibility for handling third-party
plugin modules, or handling all plugin modules in a custom way.
- void obs_find_modules(obs_find_module_callback_t callback, void
*param);
This searches the existing paths for modules and calls the callback
function when any are found. Useful for plugin management and custom
handling of the paths by the front-end if desired.
- void obs_load_all_modules(void);
Search through the paths and both loads and initializes all modules
automatically without custom handling.
- void obs_enum_modules(obs_enum_module_callback_t callback,
void *param);
Enumerates currently opened modules.
This refactors the sub-window code a bit so that instead of deleting the
window pointers, it calls QWidget::close() on them to safely trigger a
normal close on them instead (which will also delete them).
Moves setting the DeleteOnClose flag from inside of the Dialog classes
into the OBSBasic class, to make that behaviour more obvious.
This causes the main window to signal the application to exit and delete
its own pointer on close. This fixes an issue where apparently some
windows that aren't explicitly connected to the main window would be
left open when the main window was closed because by default Qt will
only exit when all windows have been closed.
Because it deletes its own pointer, instead of storing it in a
std::unique_ptr, use a QPointer because it has an internal mechanism for
automatically tracking QObject deletion even if the deletion was not
done on the QPointer itself, where as unique_ptr does not have that
functionality. In other words, if the pointer is deleted elsewhere for
whatever reason, the QPointer will still set that internal pointer value
to null.
(message and minor modificiations by Jim)
Changed API functions:
libobs: obs_reset_video
Before, video initialization returned a boolean, but "failed" is too
little information, if it fails due to lack of device capabilities or
bad video device parameters, the front-end needs to know that.
The OBS Basic UI has also been updated to reflect this API change.
There's no need to initialize the map value to 0. What was happening is
that obs_scene_add was adding a ref to a non-existent value, which
simply created it and added 1, which is perfectly fine. Then,
obs_add_source would set the ref to 0, overwriting the existing value.
So this meant that if you didn't call them in the right order, it
wouldn't work properly, and would break, which was pretty stupid.
Turns out that if you access a map value that doesn't exist, it'll
create one with the default constructor of that type. In this case, int
will initialize to 0, which was exactly what we wanted in the first
place, and defeats the purpose of even needing to initialize the value
to 0. So, there's no need to manually set it to 0 in
OBSBasic::SourceAdded, or worry about the order in which the functions
are called.
Just goes to show you have to be careful with reference counting.
These functions match the known obs locales with the system supplied
locales and return a vector of possible locales with the highest
priority locale first
Because we're using .ini format, the translation servies spit out files
with .ini extensions, so this makes it so we don't necessarily have to
rename those files from .ini to .txt before merging.
The status bar now displays:
- Auto-reconnect information (reconnecting and reconnect success)
- Dropped frames (as well as percentage of total video frames)
- Duration of session
- CPU usage of the program
- Kbp/s
The OBSBasic class is getting a bit big, so I separated out the
status bar code to its own class derived from QStatusBar.
Contains Move Up, Move Down, Move to Top, Move to Bottom. Also assigns
Ctrl-Up, Ctrl-Down, Ctrl-Home, Ctrl-End to each action.
This was also added to the right-click context menu popup for sources.
The removeItemAction just for a keyboard shortcut was unnecessary.
Instead, use the toolbar button to associate a shortcut with, and remove
the removeItemAction object.
I screwed it up a bit originally, using && instead of ||.
Use 'trimmed' function to prevent sources with leading or trailing
whitespace.
Also, do not allow an empty value.
Similar to the shader functions, the effect parameter functions take
the effect as a parameter. However, the effect parameter is pretty
pointless, because the effect parameter.. parameter stores the effect
pointer interally.
The locale parameter was a mistake, because it puts extra needless
burden upon the module developer to have to handle this variable for
each and every single callback function. The parameter is being removed
in favor of a single centralized module callback function that
specifically updates locale information for a module only when needed.
This API is used to set the current locale for libobs, which it will set
for all modules when a module is loaded or specifically when the locale
is manually changed.
Currently, if a user presses 'OK' or 'Apply' on the settings window, it
will save all data from all controls on a settings pane, regardless of
whether of not they were changed. The major issue with this is that
setting the data will overwrite all default values, making it impossible
for default values to be used if a user didn't actually change a value.
(Thanks to palana for pointing this fact out)
So instead, mark a control as 'changed' using QObject::property() and
QObject::sender(), and add a few helper functions to controls to ensure
that they are checked to see whether they were actually changed directly
by the user before saving the value to the config.
If the scene item has a bounding box set up for it, do not make it use
aspect ratio clamping by default.
Instead, make it so that shift will turn on aspect ratio, and make it
also apply to all types of bounding box modes.
The only time where aspect ratio clamping should apply by default is
when bounds are not in use (i.e. when a source is just created). Some
will disagree with me just because that's how photoshop does it, but
we're not photoshop, and I feel that the majority of users will have
more trouble with it disabled by default than enabled by default.
So to sum it up:
If bounds inactive, clamp aspect ratio by default, because scene items
start out with it inactive, and it directly affects the scale.
If bounds active, do not clamp aspect ratio by default, because clamping
to aspect ratio doesn't particularly have an effect for mode bounds
modes except for "stretch to bounds".
Instead of using bounds to force the source to be centered (and
unrotated), just center the source positionally on the screen. Will
also preserve rotation.
There's no reason to represent this value in terms of scale. Scale is a
useless value for users to use. What are they going to enter, 0.5?
2.0? 0.25?
Even if it can be subject to change by the source itself, and even if
it's still converted to scale internally, having it display the base
source size value is much more ideal for the user.
Every time I created a source I found myself in need to actually open up
the properties. It was getting somewhat on my nerves, so I decided to
just make it automatically pop up when the source is created.
Structures with anonymous unions would a warning when you do a brace
assignment on them.
Also fixed some unused parameters and removed some unused variables.
Add a 10 pixel padding to the sides and remove viewport cutting to
ensure that the editing rectangles are visible even when in the upper
corners.
Also, add a black background for the actual 'scene' in the preview
window so that the scene boundries are actually visible in relation to
the rest of the preview space.
So, scene editing was interesting (and by interesting I mean
excruciating). I almost implemented 'manipulator' visuals (ala 3dsmax
for example), and used 3 modes for controlling position/rotation/size,
but in a 2D editing, it felt clunky, so I defaulted back to simply
click-and-drag for movement, and then took a similar though slightly
different looking approach for handling scaling and reszing.
I also added a number of menu item helpers related to positioning,
scaling, rotating, flipping, and resetting the transform back to
default.
There is also a new 'transform' dialog (accessible via menu) which will
allow you to manually edit every single transform variable of a scene
item directly if desired.
If a scene item does not have bounds active, pulling on the sides of a
source will cause it to resize it via base scale rather than by the
bounding box system (if the source resizes that scale will apply). If
bounds are active, it will modify the bounding box only instead.
How a source scales when a bounding box is active depends on the type of
bounds being used. You can set it to scale to the inner bounds, the
outer bounds, scale to bounds width only, scale to bounds height only,
and a setting to stretch to bounds (which forces a source to always draw
at the bounding box size rather than be affected by its internal size).
You can also set it to be used as a 'maximum' size, so that the source
doesn't necessarily get scaled unless it extends beyond the bounds.
Like in OBS1, objects will snap to the edges unless the control key is
pressed. However, this will now happen even if the object is rotated or
oriented in any strange way. Snapping will also occur when stretching
or changing the bounding box size.
This adds support for the more smooth volume levels that accounts for
both level and magnitude. Currently, it just averages level and
magnitude, later on a full audio meter control can be made that would
properly utilize level, magnitude, and peak.
Also cleaned up the code a bit and removed some trailing whitespace.
Character conversion functions did not previously ask for a maximum
buffer size for their 'dst' parameter, it's unsafe to assume some given
destination buffer may have enough size to accommodate a conversion.
Implement the 'file path' in output settings, and implement the 'start
recording' button, though for the time being I'm just going to make it
use a directory rather than allow custom file names.
This file output will actually share the video and audio encoder with
the stream.
I don't really know what to do about MP4 -- I don't really like the idea
of saving directly in the program, if you do and the program crashes,
that MP4 file is lost. I'm contemplating making some sort of mp4 output
process stub. So no MP4 file output for the time being.
If you need MP4, just remux it with FFmpeg:
ffmpeg -i flv_file.flv -acodec copy -vcodec copy mp4_file.mp4
On windows this will return the documents\video directory, but on
linux/mac it'll just return $HOME for the time being because I don't
know if there really are any other appropriate adequate paths to use.
Perhaps someone else can be willing to fill this in if they wish.
Added github gist API uploading to the help menu to help make problems a
bit easier to debug in the future. It's somewhat vital that this
functionality be implemented before any release in order to analyze any
given problem a user may be experiencing.
When creating a source, it was possible to create duplicates. That has
now been fixed. I think that perhaps libobs shouldn't even allow for
duplicates in its core code, just to be safe. Will have to consider
doing that in the future.
Add a 'source selection' dialog to replace the 'enter a name' dialog.
This new dialog allows you to make new instances of pre-existing sources
so that you can add a pre-existing source to a different scene, or in to
the same scene more than once.
Also started implementing locale.
Comtemplating switching to JSON-based locale later, so we can add things
like descriptions/disambiguation, and so we can use jansson's built-in
hash table when doing the string lookup.
- Add volume control
These volume controls are basically nothing more than sliders. They
look terrible and hopefully will be as temporary as they are
terrible.
- Allow saving of specific non-user sources via obs_load_source and
obs_save_source functions.
- Save data of desktop/mic audio sources (sync data, volume data, etc),
and load the data on startup.
- Make it so that a scene is created by default if first time using the
application. On certain operating systems where supported, a default
capture will be created. Desktop capture on mac, particularly. Not
sure what to do about windows because monitor capture on windows 7 is
completely terrible and is bad to start users off with.
This saves scenes/sources from json on exit, and properly loads it back
up when starting up the program again, as well as the currently active
scene.
I had to add a 'load' and 'save' callback to the source interface
structure because I realizes that certain sources (such as scenes)
operate different with their saved data; scenes for example would have
to keep track of their settings information constantly, and that was
somewhat unacceptable to make it functional.
The optional 'load' callback will be called only after having loaded
setttings specifically from file/imported data, and the 'save' function
will be called only specifically when data actually needs to be saved.
I also had to adjust the obs_scene code so that it's a regular input
source type now, and I also modified it so that it doesn't have some
strange custom creation code anymore. The obs_scene_create function is
now simply just a wrapper for obs_source_create. You could even create
a scene with obs_source_create manually as well.
It didn't really look very nice in most cases and the controls were
always compacted, doing this makes it look a bit better.
Also change it so the properties window shows the properties on the
bottom below the source rather than to the right, seeing as in most
cases the source has a greater width than height, and it feels just a
little bit better to look at (thought that's just my opinion).
Controls still stretch really far sometimes though, I wonder what should
be done about that to be honest. Maybe prevent it from scrolling to the
right?
- 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.
If a control changed the properties layout, it would lose focus on the
control. Also, fiddled with the sizing policy a bit, because it wasn't
expanding when I used it in other windows.
Drawing position wasn't being calculated correctly, viewport/ortho
should have been used instead. It would cause items to render out of
position on the main viewport (though not on the actual output)
On OSX clicking the X title bar button immediately destroys "all" native
windows (after sending a close event) which causes
[NSSurface _disposeSurface] to crash if invoked while GL is using
the surface
This should fix GS rendering on surfaces on HiDPI displays; moving
windows between displays with differing pixel ratios currently requires
a manual resize
Previously the properties window would sometimes not receive
a closeEvent, leaving a dangling pointer in OBSBasicMain (and resulting
in a crash when trying to open a new properties window or closing
the application)
- 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.
I was getting cases where the CPU cache was causing issues with the
allocation counter, for the longest time I thought I was doing something
wrong, but when the allocation counter went below 0, I realized it was
because I didn't use atomics for incrementing/decrementing the
allocation counter variable. The allocation counter now always should
have the correct value.
Improve the properties API so that it can actually respond somewhat to
user input. Maybe later this might be further improved or replaced with
something script-based.
When creating a property, you can now add a callback to that property
that notifies when the property has been changed in the user interface.
Return true if you want the properties to be refreshed, or false if not.
Though now that I think about it I doubt there would ever be a case
where you would have this callback and *not* refresh the properties.
Regardless, this allows functions to change the values of properties or
settings, or enable/disable/hide other property controls from view
dynamically.
- Add start/stop code to obs-output module
- Use a circular buffer for the buffered encoder packets instead of a
dynamic array
- Add pthreads.lib as a dependency to obs-output module on windows in
visual studio project files
- Fix an windows export bug for avc parsing functions on windows.
Also, rename those functions to be more consistent with each other.
- Make outputs use a single function for encoded data rather than
multiple functions
- Add the ability to make 'text' properties be passworded
- 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
- Add a properties window for sources so that you can now actually edit
the settings for sources. Also, display the source by itself in the
window (Note: not working on mac, and possibly not working on linux).
When changing the settings for a source, it will call
obs_source_update on that source when you have modified any values
automatically.
- Add a properties 'widget', eventually I want to turn this in to a
regular nice properties view like you'd see in the designer, but
right now it just uses a form layout in a QScrollArea with regular
controls to display the properties. It's clunky but works for the
time being.
- Make it so that swap chains and the main graphics subsystem will
automatically use at least one backbuffer if none was specified
- Fix bug where displays weren't added to the main display array
- Make it so that you can get the properties of a source via the actual
pointer of a source/encoder/output in addition to being able to look
up properties via identifier.
- When registering source types, check for required functions (wasn't
doing it before). getheight/getwidth should not be optional if it's
a video source as well.
- Add an RAII OBSObj wrapper to obs.hpp for non-reference-counted
libobs pointers
- Add an RAII OBSSignal wrapper to obs.hpp for libobs signals to
automatically disconnect them on destruction
- Move the "scale and center" calculation in window-basic-main.cpp to
its own function and in its own source file
- Add an 'update' callback to WASAPI audio sources
You have to use qt5_use_modules otherwise it just won't always work. I
don't know how it was working before with cmake, but apparently this
does the trick to ensure that all the necessary libraries and includes
are added. ..Might require cmake 3.8.9 though. ..I do hope that
doesn't end up being a problem.
* Not entirely sure if this will fix it, johnnypatterson claimed it
would, but this checked out on my mac so at the very least I don't
think it should hurt anything
Ensure that a source has a valid name. Duplicates aren't a big deal
internally, but sources without a name are probably something that
should be avoided. Made is so that if a source is programmatically
created without a name, it's assigned an index based name.
In the main basic-mode window, made it check to make sure the name was
valid as well.
- Add some temporary streaming code using FFmpeg. FFmpeg itself is not
very ideal for streaming; lack of direct control of the sockets and
no framedrop handling means that FFmpeg is definitely not something
you want to use without wrapper code. I'd prefer writing my own
network framework in this particular case just because you give away
so much control of the network interface. Wasted an entire day
trying to go through FFmpeg issues.
There's just no way FFmpeg should be used for real streaming (at
least without being patched or submitting some sort of patch, but I'm
sort of feeling "meh" on that idea)
I had to end up writing multiple threads just to handle both
connecting and writing, because av_interleaved_write_frame blocks
every call, stalling the main encoder thread, and thus also stalling
draw signals.
- Add some temporary user interface for streaming settings. This is
just temporary for the time being. It's in the outputs section of
the basic-mode settings
- Make it so that dynamic arrays do not free all their data when the
size just happens to be reduced to 0. This prevents constant
reallocation when an array keeps going from 1 item to 0 items. Also,
it was bad to become dependent upon that functionality. You must now
always explicitly call "free" on it to ensure the data is free, and
that's how it should be. Implicit functionality can lead to
confusion and maintainability issues.
- Fix a bug where the initial audio data insertion would cause all
audio data to unintentionally clear (mixed up < and > operators, damn
human error)
- Fixed a potential interdependant lock scenario with channel mutex
locks and graphics mutex locks. The main video thread could lock the
graphics mutex and then while in the graphics mutex could lock the
channels mutex. Meanwhile in another thread, the channel mutex could
get locked, and then the graphics mutex would get locked, causing a
deadlock.
The best way to deal with this is to not let mutexes lock within
other mutexes, but sometimes it's difficult to avoid such as in the
main video thread.
- Audio devices should now be functional, and the devices in the audio
settings can now be changed as desired.
Modify the obs_display API so that it always uses an orthographic
projection that is the size of the display, rather than OBS' base size.
Having it do an orthographic projection to OBS' base size was silly
because it meant that everything would be skewed if you wanted to draw
1:1 in the display. This deoes mean that the callbacks must handle
resizing the images, but it's worth it to ensure 1:1 draw sizes.
As for the preview widget, instead of making some funky widget within
widget that resizes, it's just going to be a widget within the entire
top layout. Also changed the preview padding color to gray.
Having everything in global.ini meant that if you wanted different
settings for studio mode, that it would also overwrite it for basic
mode. This way, the settings for each mode are separate, and you can
use different settings for each mode.
- 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.
- Add WASAPI audio capture for windows, input and output
- Check for null pointer in os_dlopen
- Add exception-safe 'WinHandle' and 'CoTaskMemPtr' helper classes that
will automatically call CloseHandle on handles and call CoTaskMemFree
on certain types of memory returned from windows functions
- Changed the wide <-> MBS/UTF8 conversion functions so that you use
buffers (like these functions are *supposed* to behave), and changed
the ones that allocate to a different naming scheme to be safe
- Signals and dynamic callbacks now require declarations to be made
before being used. What this does is allows us to get information
about the functions dynamically which can be relayed to the user and
plugins for future extended usage (this should have big implications
later for scripting in particular, hopefully).
- Reduced the number of types calldata uses from "everything I could
think of" to simply integer, float, bool, pointer/object, string.
Integer data is now stored as long long. Floats are now stored as
doubles (check em).
- Use a more consistent naming scheme for lexer error/warning macros.
- Fixed a rather nasty bug where switching to an existing scene would
cause it to increment sourceSceneRefs, which would mean that it would
never end up never properly removing the source when the user clicks
removed (stayed in limbo, obs_source_remove never got called)
LOG_ERROR should be used in places where though recoverable (or at least
something that can be handled safely), was unexpected, and may affect
the user/application.
LOG_WARNING should be used in places where it's not entirely unexpected,
is recoverable, and doesn't really affect the user/application.
I can't believe I wasn't doing this. This is why file output was
getting corrupted. Audio and video send in data from separate threads.
I should be embarassed for not having considered that.
Key lesson: Increase threading paranoia levels. Apparently my
threading paranoid levels are lackluster.
I'm not entirely sure what's going on with my FFmpeg code, but it's
definitely not generating the proper footers for MP4 files, despite the
fact that the footer function succeeds. Going to use AVIs for the time
being still.
After a mac just boots up, it often takes about 700 milliseconds for
audio devices to work on first use, so it would often have issues with
the 700ms audio buffering time, and audio data would get cut off. Just
increasing the buffering a little bit fixes the issue.
- Add CoreAudio device input capture for mac audio capturing. The code
should cover just about everything for capturing mac input device
audio. Because of the way mac audio is designed, users may have no
choice but to obtain the open source soundflower software to capture
their mac's desktop audio. It may be necessary for us to distribute
it with the program as well.
- Hide event backend
- Use win32 events for windows
- Allow timed waits for events
- Fix a few warnings
FFmpeg test output wasn't make any attempt to sync data before. Should
be much more accurate now.
Also, added a restart message to audio settings if base audio settings
are changed.
the signals for scenes could have potentially conflicted with default
source signals. "remove" should be used for source removal, for
example. Changed the scene signals to "item-add" and "item-remove" for
its items.
Resetting audio while libobs is active is a real pain. I think I'm just
going to do audio resetting later, or maybe just require restart
regardless just because having to shut down audio streams/lines while
there's sources currently active requires recreating all the audio
lines for each audio source. Very painful.
Video fortunately is no big deal, so at least there's that.
Split off activate to activate and show callbacks, and split off
deactivate to deactivate and hide callbacks. Sources didn't previously
have a means to know whether it was actually being displayed in the main
view or just happened to be visible somewhere. Now, for things like
transition sources, they have a means of knowing when they have actually
been "activated" so they can initiate their sequence.
A source is now only considered "active" when it's being displayed by
the main view. When a source is shown in the main view, the activate
callback/signal is triggered. When it's no longer being displayed by
the main view, deactivate callback/signal is triggered.
When a source is just generally visible to see by any view, the show
callback/signal is triggered. If it's no longer visible by any views,
then the hide callback/signal is triggered.
Presentation volume will now only be active when a source is active in
the main view rather than also in auxilary views.
Also fix a potential bug where parents wouldn't properly increment or
decrement all the activation references of a child source when a child
was added or removed.
Implement a few audio options in to the user interface as well as a few
inline audio functions in audio-io.h.
Make it so ffmpeg plugin automatically converts to the desired format.
Use regular interleaved float internally for audio instead of planar
float.
This allows the changing of bideo settings without having to completely
reset all graphics data. Will recreate internal output/conversion
buffers and such and reset the main preview.
Now sources will be properly activated and deactivated when they are in
use or not in use.
Had to figure out a way to handle child sources, and children of
children, just ended up implementing simple functions that parents use
to signal adding/removal to help with hierarchial activation and
deactivation of child sources.
To prevent the source activate/deactivate callbacks from being called
more than once, added an activation reference counter. The first
increment will call the activate callback, and the last decrement will
call the deactivate callback.
Added "source-activate" and "source-deactivate" signals to the main obs
signal handler, and "activate" and "deactivate" to individual source
signal handlers.
Also, fixed the main window so it properly selects a source when the
current active scene has been changed.
- Changed glMapBuffer to glMapBufferRange to allow invalidation. Using
just glMapBuffer alone was causing some unacceptable stalls.
- Changed dynamic buffers from GL_DYNAMIC_WRITE to GL_STREAM_WRITE
because I had misunderstood the OpenGL specification
- Added _OPENGL and _D3D11 builtin preprocessor macros to effects to
allow special processing if needed
- Added fmod support to shaders (NOTE: D3D and GL do not function
identically with negative numbers when using this. Positive numbers
however function identically)
- Created a planar conversion shader that converts from packed YUV to
planar 420 right on the GPU without any CPU processing. Reduces
required GPU download size to approximately 37.5% of its normal rate
as well. GPU usage down by 10 entire percentage points despite the
extra required pass.
There were a *lot* of warnings, managed to remove most of them.
Also, put warning flags before C_FLAGS and CXX_FLAGS, rather than after,
as -Wall -Wextra was overwriting flags that came before it.
Originally, the rendering system was designed to only display sources
and such, but I realized there would be a flaw; if you wanted to render
the main viewport in a custom way, or maybe even the entire application
as a graphics-based front end, you wouldn't have been able to do that.
Displays have now been separated in to viewports and displays. A
viewport is used to store and draw sources, a display is used to handle
draw callbacks. You can even use displays without using viewports to
draw custom render displays containing graphics calls if you wish, but
usually they would be used in combination with source viewports at
least.
This requires a tiny bit more work to create simple source displays, but
in the end its worth it for the added flexibility and options it brings.
The API used to be designed in such a way to where it would expect
exports for each individual source/output/encoder/etc. You would export
functions for each and it would automatically load those functions based
on a specific naming scheme from the module.
The idea behind this was that I wanted to limit the usage of structures
in the API so only functions could be used. It was an interesting idea
in theory, but this idea turned out to be flawed in a number of ways:
1.) Requiring exports to create sources/outputs/encoders/etc meant that
you could not create them by any other means, which meant that
things like faruton's .net plugin would become difficult.
2.) Export function declarations could not be checked, therefore if you
created a function with the wrong parameters and parameter types,
the compiler wouldn't know how to check for that.
3.) Required overly complex load functions in libobs just to handle it.
It makes much more sense to just have a load function that you call
manually. Complexity is the bane of all good programs.
4.) It required that you have functions of specific names, which looked
and felt somewhat unsightly.
So, to fix these issues, I replaced it with a more commonly used API
scheme, seen commonly in places like kernels and typical C libraries
with abstraction. You simply create a structure that contains the
callback definitions, and you pass it to a function to register that
definition (such as obs_register_source), which you call in the
obs_module_load of the module.
It will also automatically check the structure size and ensure that it
only loads the required values if the structure happened to add new
values in an API change.
The "main" source file for each module must include obs-module.h, and
must use OBS_DECLARE_MODULE() within that source file.
Also, started writing some doxygen documentation in to the main library
headers. Will add more detailed documentation as I go.
- Fill in the rest of the FFmpeg test output code for testing so it
actually properly outputs data.
- Improve the main video subsystem to be a bit more optimal and
automatically output I420 or NV12 if needed.
- Fix audio subsystem insertation and byte calculation. Now it will
seamlessly insert new audio data in to the audio stream based upon
its timestamp value. (Be extremely cautious when using floating
point calculations for important things like this, and always round
your values and check your values)
- Use 32 byte alignment in case of future optimizations and export a
function to get the current alignment.
- Make os_sleepto_ns return true if slept, false if the time has
already been passed before the call.
- Fix sinewave output so that it actually properly calculates a middle
C sinewave.
- Change the use of row_bytes to linesize (also makes it a bit more
consistent with FFmpeg's naming as well)
- Add planar audio support. FFmpeg and libav use planar audio for many
encoders, so it was somewhat necessary to add support in libobs
itself.
- Improve/adjust FFmpeg test output plugin. The exports were somewhat
messed up (making me rethink how exports should be done). Not yet
functional; it handles video properly, but it still does not handle
audio properly.
- Improve planar video code. The planar video code was not properly
accounting for row sizes for each plane. Specifying row sizes for
each plane has now been added. This will also make it more compatible
with FFmpeg/libav.
- Fixed a bug where callbacks wouldn't create properly in audio-io and
video-io code.
- Implement 'blogva' function to allow for va_list usage with libobs
logging.
- Implemented better C++ classes for handling scenes/sources/items in
obs.hpp, allowing them to automatically increment and decrement the
references of each, as well as assign them to QVariants.
- Because QVariants are now using the C++ classes, remove the pointer
QVariant wrapper.
- Use the new C++ classes with the QVariant user data of list box items,
both for the sake of thread safety and to ensure that the data
referenced is not freed until removed. NOTE: still might need some
testing.
- Implemented a source-remove signal from libobs, and start using that
signal instead of the source-destroy signal for signalling item
removal.
Scene items previously were removed by calling obs_sceneitem_destroy,
but this proved to be a potential race condition where two different
threads could try to destroy the same scene item at the same time.
Instead of doing that, reference counting is now used on scene items,
and an explicit obs_sceneitem_remove function is used instead for item
removal, which sets a 'removed' variable to ensure it can only be called
exactly one time.
The previous commit used the scene as a parameter to check to see if
the scene item was still present within the scene before destroying, but
this was actually unnecessary because the fault was because the destroy
signal was being triggered *before* the scene's mutex locked, thus
causing a race condition. I changed the code so that it signals after
the lock instead of before, so the scene parameter should no longer be
necessary.
Fixes a deadlock when trying to remove a source from the GUI. The scene
item signal handlers would mark the source as removed which results in
the video thread also trying to run obs_sceneitem_destroy thereby
deadlocking the video thread (and the GUI thread)
- Add 'set_default' functions to obs-data.*. These functions ensure
that a paramter exists and that the parameter is of a specific type.
If not, it will create or overwrite the value with the default setting
instead.
These functions are meant to be explicitly called before using any of
the 'get' functions. The reason why it was designed this way is to
encourage defaults to be set in a single place/function.
For example, ideal usage is to create one function for your data,
"set_my_defaults(obs_data_t data)", set all the default values within
that function, and then call that function on create/update, that way
all defaults are centralized to a single place.
- Ensure that data passed to sources/encoders/outputs/etc is always
valid, and not a null value.
- While I'm remembering, fix a few defaults of the main program config
file data.
