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.
