This function is used to simplify the process when using the default
locale handling for modules. It will automatically search in the plugin
data directory associated with the specific module specified, load the
default locale text (for example english if its default language is
english), and then it will load the set locale on top of the default
locale, which will cause text to use the default locale if the desired
locale text is not found.
Total bytes, total frames, and frames dropped. Total frames is
generated automatically, but total bytes and total dropped frames are
returned via callbacks.
Before it would assign the encoder/media callbacks directly to the
output's callbacks, so instead of doing that, it now goes through
intermediary functions for the sake of counting the frames.
Usually if you are reconnecting after network outage, it will give a
different code (such as OBS_OUTPUT_CONNECT_FAILED). So, if already
reconnecting, ignore the code unless it's OBS_OUTPUT_SUCCESS.
I was implementing a pushing/popping attributes function like with GL,
but I realized that for our particular purposes (and actually for most
purposes) its usage was somewhat.. niche. I may still implement
pushing/popping of attributes in the future, though right now I feel
using a function to reset the state is sufficient for our purposes.
There was no need to call the context free function in the
initialization function, and it's safer to just initialize the memory to
0 before using (which also negates the need for da_init)
This just ensures that if an obs object is renamed that the pointer to
older names will still be valid. Prevents renames from causing any
invalid memory access.
When the obs object is destroyed, so are the cached names.
The core itself now provides reconnection options (enabled by default, 2
second timeout between reconnects, 20 retries max until actual
disconnection occurs). This will make things easier for both module
developers and UI developers.
Reconnecting treats the stream as though it were still active, and
signals are sent when reconnecting and upon successful reconnection.
Need to implement user interface information for reconnections.
This implements the 'frame skipping' mechanism to forcibly cause frames
to be duplicated in order to reduce encoder complexity so the encoder
can catch up to the video, otherwise it will continue to be
progressively behind and will cause a desync of the video.
Typically, if a user gets this issue, they should turn down their
settings. For the love of god do not tell them that 'frames are
skipping', just tell them that CPU usage is high, and that they should
consider turning down their settings.
MagickCore is provided here as an alternative to FFmpeg in case FFmpeg
is not easily supported (for example, debian-based linux distros).
NOTE: Cmake configuration needs to be changed in order to allow
MagickCore image support.
NOTE: In texture_setimage, I had to move variables to the top of the
scope because microsoft's C compiler will give the legacy C90 error of:
'illegal use of this type as an expression'.
To sum it up, microsoft's C compiler is still utter garbage.
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.
...I'm actually concerned that I went a bit overkill trying to prevent
backwards compatibility issues with this abstraction design, because
this is a large number of files that have to be modified just to add a
single graphics subsystem export. Someone's going to strangle me, and
when you know that someone might strangle you, that means that you did
something wrong. We'll have to look in to simplifying this in the
future without killing backward compatibility safety.
The module callback obs_module_set_locale will be called after loading
the module, and any time the locale is manually changed via core API.
When this function is called, the module is expected to load new text
lookup values for all the text it uses based upon the current locale.
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.
Having the value stored here is somewhat pointless, so this is one step
in fixing the locale handling. Locale should be handled by the modules
themselves with their own loaded locale lookup information.
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.
These functions were mostly related to being able to set true fullscreen
mode -- however, this has no place for our purposes, and these functions
were just sitting empty and unused, so they should be removed.
Besides, fullscreen mode only applies to the windows operating system.
This variable is currently somewhat pointless, I was originally going to
use it to tell the graphics subsystem to completely rebuild the internal
vertex buffers, but it would be bad/inefficient to allow that
functionality.
These are meant to reflect auto-detection configuration changes that
should not be written to the config, for example, frame rate changes
for a camera where the (user-/config-file-)configured frame rate isn't
available but a similar frame rate can be automatically chosen
Default values are now permanently stored in the obs_data_items and
can be accessed via the new get_default functions
Also default values are no longer serialized to JSON to ease transition
to new default values
This allows, for example, disconnected devices for dshow/avcapture to
be listed (and to stay selected in the user config) while making them
unavailable for selection in new sources
The 'initialize' callback is used before the encoders/output start up so
it can adjust encoder settings to required values if needed.
Also added the function 'obs_encoder_active' that returns true or false
depending on whether that encoder is active or not.
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.
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.
There are a ridiculous number of features related to scaling and
positioning due to requests by a number of people who complained that
they hated the way that OBS1 would always resize their sources when the
source's base size changed. There were also people who wanted more
control for how the resizing was handled, or the ability to completely
prevent resizing entirely if desired. So I made it so that you can
optionally use a 'bounds' system, which allows you to specify different
styles of controlling resizing.
If disabled, the source will always automatically resize and only the
base scale is applied. If enabled, you have a variety of different ways
to limit/control how it can resize within the bounds, or make it so it
can't resize at all. You can also control alignment within that
bounding box, so you can make it so that a source always aligns to a
side or corner of the box.
I also added an alignment value which changes how the source is oriented
relative to the position of the scene item. For example, setting
bottom-right alignment will make it so that the position of the item is
the bottom right corner of the source. When the source resizies, it
will resize leftward and upward in that case, which solves the problem
of how a source resizes relative to a desired position.
I encountered a situation where I wanted to delete a callback for a
signal while inside of that signal. However it would hard lock, and
even after that, it would mess up the loop for the callback list.
So, change the mutex of the individual signals to a recursive-style
mutex, and then if a callback of a signal is deleted while currently in
that signal, just mark it for deletion, which will happen after the
signal is complete.
This replaces the older code which simply queried the max volume level
value for any given audio.
I'm still not 100% sure on if this is how I want to approach the
problem, particularly, whether this should be done in obs_source or in
audio_line, but it can always be moved later if needed.
This uses the calculations by the awesome Bill Hamilton that OBS1 used
for its volume levels. It calculates the current max (level),
magnitude, and current peak. This data then can be used to create
awesome volume meter controls later on.
NOTE: Will probably need optimization, does one float at a time right
now.
Also, change some of the naming conventions. I actually need to change
a lot of the naming conventions in general so that all words are
separated by underscores. Kind of a bad practice there on my part.
There was a fundamental flaw with the string type conversion functions
where the sizes were not being properly accounted for. They were using
the 'len' value as a value for the output rather than only for the
input, which was bad because the output could have more or less
characters than the input.
When a source's private data is being created by a module, it wasn't
able to call most source functions because most functions rely on the
obs_source_info part of the context to be set. This fixes that issue.
It was strange that this wasn't already the case because the other
context types already did the same thing.
This uses the reverse planar YUV 4:2:0 conversion shader to output a YUV
texture without having to convert it via CPU. Again, this will reduce
video upload bandwidth usage to 37.5% of the original rate. I suspect
this will be particularly useful for when an FFmpeg or libav input
plugin for playing videos is made.
NOTE: There's an issue with certain texture sizes right now I haven't
been able to identify, if the full size of texture data divided by the
base texture width is an uneven number, the V chroma plane seems like it
can potentially shift, though I only had this happen with 160x90
resolution C920. Almost all resolutions tend to be even. Needs further
testing with more devices that support planar YUV 4:2:0 output.
This adds button support to properties, which will allow a properties
pane to let the user click a button to activate something with a
particular obs context. When pressed, the button will execute the
callback given, with the context's private data as a parameter.
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.
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.
