Certain output formats don't support multiple tracks, so it's important
to warn the user if they select multiple tracks.
Also warn the user if they select no tracks.
In addition to the flv file format, this allows the ability to save to
container formats such as mp4, ts, mkv, and any other containers that
support the current codecs being used.
It pipes the encoded data to the ffmpeg-mux process, which then safely
muxes the file from the encoded data. If the main program unexpectedly
terminates, the ffmpeg-mux piped program will safely close the file and
write trailer data, preventing file corruption.
The size parameter is the size of the elements, not the size of the
data. The size parameter should be 1, and the elements should be the
number of bytes.
The reason why I'm making this change is because the fread/fwrite would
fail when the parameters were swapped.
Instead of using system timestamps for playback, use the timestamps
directly from the video/audio data to ensure all the data is synced up
using the obs_source back-end.
I think the original misconception when this was written was that OBS
would not handle timestamp resets/loops, which isn't the case; it will
actually handle all timestamp resets and abnormalities. It's always
best to use the obs_source back-end for all playback and syncing.
When the bitrate was set to 64 CoreAudio would call
complex_input_data_proc more than once, which in turn would cause
consumed bytes in the input buffer to be "freed" more than once (once
for every additional call of complex_input_data_proc and once in
aac_encode)
In the (unlikely) event of multiple concurrent calls to
input_method_changed it was possible that the log messages would appear
out of order with respect to which layout would actually be active
after the last log message
This allows the ability to output the audio of the device as desktop
audio (via the WaveOut or DirectSound audio renderers) instead of
capturing the audio only.
In the future, we'll implement audio monitoring which will make this
feature obsolete, but for the time being I decided to add this option as
a temporary measure to allow users to play the audio from their devices
via the DirectShow output.
The audio bitrate required is insignificant relative to the video
bitrate, and due to the fact that it's possible that a lower-quality
encoder may be in use (such as FFmpeg's AAC encoder), setting the
default to 160 is really more ideal to reducee any potential quality
loss.
Due to the fact that async timestamps themselves can be susceptible to
minor jitter from certain types of inputs, increase the allowable jitter
compensation value to ensure that the rendered frame timing from async
video sources is always as close as possible to the compositor.
When the framerate of the source is the same as the framerate as the
compositor, this (combined with the fact that clamped video timing now
being used with async video frames) helps ensure that buffered async
video sources will sync up their rendering to the compositor as
accurately as possible despite jitter from the source's timestamps.
If there is no jitter in the source's timestamps then it'll always sync
up perfectly with the compositor, thanks to clamped video timing.
When playing back buffered async frames, this reduces the probability
that new frames will be missed/skipped due to jitter in the system
timestamps.
If a buffered async source is playing at the same framerate as the
compositor and there is no jitter in the async source's timestamps, then
the async source will play back perfectly in sync with the compositor
thanks to this change, ensuring that there's no skipped or missed frames
in video playback.
The "clamped" video time is the system time per video frame that is
closest to the current system time, but always divisible by the frame
interval. For example, if the last frame system timestamp was 1600 and
the new frame is 2500, but the frame interval is 800, then the
"clamped" video time is 2400.
This clamped value is useful to get the relative system time without any
jitter.
When buffering is enabled for an async video source, sometimes minor
drift in timestamps or unexpected delays to frames can cause frames to
slowly buffer more and more in memory, in some cases eventually causing
the system to run out of memory.
The circumstances in which this can happen seems to depend on both the
computer and the devices in use. So far, the only known circumstances
in which this happens are with heavily buffered devices, such as
hauppauge, where decoding can sometimes take too long and cause
continual frame playback delay, and thus continual buffering until
memory runs out. I've never been able to replicate it on any of my
machines however, even after hours of testing.
This patch is a precautionary measure that puts a hard limit on the
number of async frames that can be currently queued to prevent any case
where memory might continually build for whatever reason. If it goes
over the limit, it clears the cache to reset the buffering.
I had a user with this problem test this patch with success and positive
feedback, and the intervals between buffering resets were long to where
it wasn't even noticeable while streaming/recording.
Ideally when decoding frames (such as from those devices), frame
dropping should be used to ensure playback doesn't incur extra delay,
although this sort of hard limit on the frame cache should still be
implemented regardless just as a safety precaution. For DirectShow
encoded devices I should just switch to faruton's libff for decoding and
enable the frame dropping options. It would probably explain why no
one's ever reported it for the media source, and pretty much only from
DirectShow device usage.
Ensures that the "Show Recordings" an "Remux Recordings" file menu
items will open the recordings folder from the currently active
output mode rather than always the simple output mode.
On windows vista/7, you cannot really use display capture efficiently
without disabling aero, so this will add an option to settings to allow
it to be disabled and cause it to be disabled on startup.
Portable mode can be enabled via command line options (--portable or -p)
or by having any of the following files present in the base directory of
a portable install:
portable_mode
obs_portable_mode
portable_mode.txt
obs_portable_mode.txt
Portable mode is omitted when obs is built with a unix program
structure.
