There are devices like the GV-USB2 that produce frames with smmoth
timestamps at an uneven pace, which causes OBS to stutter because the
unbuffered path is designed to aggressively operate on the latest frame.
We can make the unbuffered path work by making two adjustments:
- Don't discard the current frame until it has elapsed.
- Don't skip frames in the queue until they have elapsed.
The buffered path still has problems with deinterlacing GV-USB2 output,
but the unbuffered path is better anyway.
Testing:
GV-USB2, Unbuffered: Stuttering is gone!
GV-USB2, Buffered: No regression (still broken).
SC-512N1-L/DVI, Unbuffered: No regression (still works).
SC-512N1-L/DVI, Buffered: No regression (still works).
It's a waste of GPU time to do two fullscreen passes to render final mix
previews. Use blend states to simulate the black background of
DrawBackdrop() for the following situations:
- Main preview window (Studio Mode off)
- Studio Mode: Program
This does not effect:
- Studio Mode: Preview (still uses DrawBackdrop)
- Fullscreen Projector (uses GPU clear to black)
- Windowed Projector (uses GPU clear to black)

As the names entered into this dialog can be used as part of file names
(for example, saving a scene collection), allowing long names can result
in silent data loss where OBS creates the collection and allows the user
to manipulate it, but it cannot be saved on exit. This is due to the
MAX_PATH limitation on Windows (260 characters). 170 was chosen to
accomodate the length of the user app data folder plus some room for
extensions like .json.tmp.
Add a separate shader for area upscaling to take advantage of bilinear
filtering. Iterating over texels is unnecessary in the upscale case
because a target pixel can only overlap 1 or 2 texels in X and Y
directions. When only overlapping one texel, adjust UVs to sample texel
center to avoid filtering.
Also add "base_dimension" uniform to avoid unnecessary division.

glGetError() returns GL_INVALID_OPERATION during OBS shutdown when GL is
used on Windows. This change gives up after eight errors.
This could be avoided by stopping the graphics thread before window
destruction, but the shutdown code looks like it could be tricky to
reorder.
Enable B-Pyramid frames to improve quality for high motion content.
B-pyramid allows a B-frame to choose closer frames for reference which
may have higher correlation.
Adjusts packet priority to avoid dropping referable B-frames
A check has been added to ensure feature is enabled only on platforms
with MSDK API 1.8 or higher - addresses crashing issues.
Unlike get_properties, there is not reason to not call get_defaults if it is
given in addition to get_defaults2. Additonally this fixes the bug with
'init_encoder' which would only ever call get_defaults, resulting in broken
encoders if those used get_defaults2.
