This implements a blacklist of devices that ship with NVENC libraries,
but do not support NVENC, which would cause the plugin to mistakenly
think that NVENC was available when it was not. If these devices are
the only NVIDIA devices on the system, consider NVENC unavailable.
This is much more efficient than spawning an encoder on startup to see
if NVENC is available, which would incur a ~500 millisecond hit on
startup. Additionally, also much less crash-prone.
A bit of a hack, but this is one of the more common errors that users
are encountering, so showing useful information will help cut down on
the number of support issues.
Input buffer by default is set to 2MB - for some sources, for example streaming
RTSP input over UDP, this is not enough and causes significant playback issues
that are not present while playing back the same source under ffplay/mpv.
It looks like someone actually started working on this feature as there are
translated strings, properties and everything ready - only the control was
missing from the UI. This commit adds that control.
Currently, the range is set to 1-16MB, step 1MB. This is somewhat arbitrary,
so suggestions to tweak this range with more real-world use cases are welcome.
After you call av_frame_alloc(), ffmpeg expects you to fill in certain
fields on the frame, depending on whether it's an audio or video frame.
obs-ffmpeg did this in the two places where it allocates video frames,
but not where it allocates audio frames. On my system, using trunk
ffmpeg and the Opus codec, this causes OBS to crash while calling
avcodec_send_frame, ultimately because av_frame_copy fails due to
'dst->format < 0' (as 'format' stays at the default of -1), causing a
null pointer to be added to a buffer queue, which later gets
dereferenced.
Oddly, the fields in question can just be copied directly from
corresponding fields in the AVCodecContext, but I don't see any ffmpeg
API to automatically copy all relevant fields, and all the examples I've
seen do it by hand. So this patch does the same.
The cutoff hack was added many, many years ago as recommended by
Konverter. Since then, there has been much work on the AAC encoder, so
this hack should no longer be necessary.
(This commit also modifies the obs-ffmpeg module)
The default channel layouts from aac spec are implemented in FFmpeg
native aac encoder as follows:
AV_CH_LAYOUT_MONO,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_STEREO,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_SURROUND,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_4POINT0,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_5POINT0_BACK,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_5POINT1_BACK,
AV_CH_LAYOUT_7POINT1,
The correspondence of speaker layouts to AV_CH_LAYOUT from FFmpeg is
changed to reflect the previous table.
Although FFmpeg native aac encoder can now encode all the layouts listed
in avutil channel_layout.h (on master), there might be issues with older
FFmpeg binaries.
Note that 2.1 speaker layout will be encoded as AV_CH_LAYOUT_SURROUND
(FL FR FC) because it is not listed as the default layout for three
channels.
This just means some optimizations for LFE channel will not be used by
the encoder which will treat it as an SCE (single channel element).
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1182
The reason this code is being reverted/removed is because this code is a
risk to startup stability. This check will be added again in the
future, however this code needs to be executed from a secondary piped
process instead of directly in the process to reduce risk of
driver/hardware issues impacting program startup. The same needs to be
accomplished for the AMF plugin as well.
This reverts commit 94b5982216f253f4f4d355109a6dcb81f3a3b980.
Reverting this commit because it had some negative side effects, such as
adding 500 milliseconds to the startup time. NVENC detection should
really be done through its proper API, and not via creating an encoder
on startup.

Default channel layout for 4 channels is 4.0 in FFmpeg.
Replacing quad with 4.0 will improve compatibility since FFmpeg has
better support of its default channel layouts.
(also modifies obs-ffmpeg, audio-monitoring, win-wasapi, decklink,
obs-outputs)
Removes speaker layouts which are not exposed in UI. The speaker
layouts selectable by users in the UI are the most common ones. It is
not necessary to keep other layouts. (This basically removes
5POINT1_SURROUND, 7POINT1_SURROUND, SURROUND =3.0).
Fixes ticket 1070.

(related bugs).
The ffmpeg constant AVFMT_RAWPICTURE was deprecated in october 2015
and marked for removal at avformat major bump to version 58
(ffmpeg commit 34ed5c2 , oct 12, 2015).
The bump occured with commit 69b5ce6 (oct21, 2017).
The constant was subsequently removed (commit 693a11b, oct 26 2017).
It was removed from obs-studio with commit d670d7b (from me).
But the code block which was executed with this constant was not
removed, causing issues with ffmpeg output.
The commit fixes the issue for old ffmpeg builds as well as new ones.
The constant is reintegrated for avformat major version < 58 and removed
for version >= 58 (along with its accompanying code).
Thanks to J Lowe for help in solving the bug.
(tested on win 10, macos 10.13, ubuntu 17.10 with ffmpeg head & ffmpeg
3.4.1)
When this was being fixed up, the incorrect function name was used --
however it still compiled because the author was using the newer FFmpeg
version at the time.
Certain NVIDIA GPUs don't support NVENC, but ship with the NVENC
library, causing OBS to mistakenly think that NVENC is available when it
actually isn't.

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 commit also modifies the deps/media-playback, obs-ffmpeg, and

More fixes due to ffmpeg renaming some constants and deprecating
AVFMT_RAWPICTURE and AV_PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD.
Latter replaced by AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX per ffmpeg dev advice.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1061
(This commit also modifies deps/media-playback)
Before, the media-playback library would detect whether something was
seekable by checking the filename for "://", which is unideal because
there are other cases where targets may not be seekable. So instead, an
explicit "seekable" property (off by default) is now in place in the
media source when not in "local file" mode. Seeking will only be
enabled if local file mode is on, or if "seekable" is explicitly checked
by the user.
