On windows, for whatever reason sockets use the SOCKET type which is not
a signed integer. Still, even though it's not a signed integer, -1 is
used to indicate an invalid socket, but the way you use it is via
microsoft's fabulously dumb little INVALID_SOCKET define, so we have to
make librtmp use that instead.
Certain RTMP services will support multi audio tracks via RTMP. This
updates librtmp with custom code that enables multiple streams per
connection to be used; each subsequent stream typically containing extra
audio tracks. The audio encoder names are used to indicate the names of
tracks, and the name of the tracks are used for the stream keys for
those subsequent tracks.
API changed:
--------------------------
void obs_output_set_audio_encoder(
obs_output_t *output,
obs_encoder_t *encoder);
obs_encoder_t *obs_output_get_audio_encoder(
const obs_output_t *output);
obs_encoder_t *obs_audio_encoder_create(
const char *id,
const char *name,
obs_data_t *settings);
Changed to:
--------------------------
/* 'idx' specifies the track index of the output */
void obs_output_set_audio_encoder(
obs_output_t *output,
obs_encoder_t *encoder,
size_t idx);
/* 'idx' specifies the track index of the output */
obs_encoder_t *obs_output_get_audio_encoder(
const obs_output_t *output,
size_t idx);
/* 'mixer_idx' specifies the mixer index to capture audio from */
obs_encoder_t *obs_audio_encoder_create(
const char *id,
const char *name,
obs_data_t *settings,
size_t mixer_idx);
Overview
--------------------------
This feature allows multiple audio mixers to be used at a time. This
capability was able to be added with surprisingly very little extra
overhead. Audio will not be mixed unless it's assigned to a specific
mixer, and mixers will not mix unless they have an active mix
connection.
Mostly this will be useful for being able to separate out specific audio
for recording versus streaming, but will also be useful for certain
streaming services that support multiple audio streams via RTMP.
I didn't want to use a variable amount of mixers due to the desire to
reduce heap allocations, so currently I set the limit to 4 simultaneous
mixers; this number can be increased later if needed, but honestly I
feel like it's just the right number to use.
Sources:
Sources can now specify which audio mixers their audio is mixed to; this
can be a single mixer or multiple mixers at a time. The
obs_source_set_audio_mixers function sets the audio mixer which an audio
source applies to. For example, 0xF would mean that the source applies
to all four mixers.
Audio Encoders:
Audio encoders now must specify which specific audio mixer they use when
they encode audio data.
Outputs:
Outputs that use encoders can now support multiple audio tracks at once
if they have the OBS_OUTPUT_MULTI_TRACK capability flag set. This is
mostly only useful for certain types of RTMP transmissions, though may
be useful for file formats that support multiple audio tracks as well
later on.
The 'sent_headers' member variable of the FLV output would not be reset
when the output was restarted, causing important data to not be written,
thus creating an invalid FLV file.
Waiting for the first packet to arrive before sending the headers helps
prevent issues with certain types of encoders that may not get their
header/SEI until the first packet has been received.
Typedef pointers are unsafe. If you do:
typedef struct bla *bla_t;
then you cannot use it as a constant, such as: const bla_t, because
that constant will be to the pointer itself rather than to the
underlying data. I admit this was a fundamental mistake that must
be corrected.
All typedefs that were pointer types will now have their pointers
removed from the type itself, and the pointers will be used when they
are actually used as variables/parameters/returns instead.
This does not break ABI though, which is pretty nice.
This functionality can now be handled automatically because locale can
now be freed seaparately from obs_module_unload with
obs_module_free_locale, which is called automatically when the module is
being freed.
Use warn/info/debug helper macro functions to output
warnings/information/debug log data that's preformatted to include the
module and the current output name.
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 doesn't add FLV file output to the user interface yet, but we'll
get around to that eventually. This just adds an FLV output type.
Also, removed ftello/fseeko because off_t is a really annoying data
type, and I'd rather have a firm int64_t for large sizes, so I named it
to os_fseeki64 and os_ftelli64 instead, and changed the file size
function to return an int64_t.
