I added stream delay options to advanced settings not just because I
feel it's an advanced option, but also to reduce clutter in the outputs
section and its sub-sections, which already have far too many options as
it is.
This reverts commit a508c17f0a7048a5592d91c0a6587bfb59c28e84.
I realized that this would become more of an annoyance for most people
rather than anything helpful. This has only happened only twice that I
am aware of in all the years that the program has been around.
This changes the way the advanced output section's FFmpeg output
settings work by allowing the user to select whether they want to output
to a file or output to a URL, and makes it so file names are
automatically generated like other recording outputs.
If they choose to output to a file, it'll only require an output
directory similarly to how other recording outputs work. They can
select a directory to output to rather than being required to type in a
full path and filename; the filename is automatically generated. The
extension is also automatically retrieved from libff depending on the
format selected.
Otherwise if they have Output to URL selected, it'll show a simple edit
box where they can type in the target URL.
Adds setting profiles to the basic user interface. For each profile, a
subdirectory for the profile will be created in
[config_dir]/obs-studio/basic/profiles which will contain the settings
data for each profile.
Adds scene collections to the menu bar, which allows you to duplicate,
rename, remove, or add clean new scene collections.
Scene files are now stored in ./obs-studio/basic/scenes directory with
filesystem-safe names.
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.
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.
UI supplied per scene hotkey to allow switching between scenes; this
has to be done in the UI since it's up to the application to define
what exactly "changing/selecting a scene" means (changing the output
of channel 0 may not be enough for other applications)
OBSHotkeyEdit is similar to QKeySequenceEdit, except less terribad on OSX, while
OBSHotkeyWidget provides a container that automagically encapsulates multiple
bindings per hotkey
OBSHotkeyLabel in combination with OBSHotkeyWidget provides mechanisms for
dealing with hotkey pairs (see upcoming usage in window-basic-settings.cpp)
When a reconnect is occurring, the user doesn't really know that the
program is waiting to reconnect to the server or not, nor does the user
know how many seconds are remaining until that next attempt. This will
show the reconnect timeout countdown as it's occurring.
Non-NV12 video formats are primarily intended for recording. For
streaming, if the libobs color format is not set to NV12, it's likely
that the video frames will have to be converted to NV12, which will use
extra CPU usage. Due to that fact, it's important to warn the user of
that potential extra increased CPU usage that may be required when
streaming.
OBS will offer the user a list of themes which are .qss files inside
data/obs-studio/themes. If no theme is found in the configuration, it
loads the default theme for the system.
Since the file being logged to changes with each run, opening a log
file is a tad more involved than desirable when it's necessary to view
the log each time OBS is run. This new menu entry shortcuts opening the
file from the file system manually.
Currently, this allows the setting of values such as:
- Audio buffering time
- Color format (still somewhat unsupported)
- YUV color space (if a YUV format)
= YUV color range (if a YUV format)
More color formats will be added in the future, such as RGB and YUV
4:2:2 formats.
Add a checkbox named "Enforce streaming service encoder settings"
checkbox to advanced output. Disabling this checkbox allows the user to
optionally disable the enforcement of streaming service encoder
settings. I had a user complain that they didn't want to always have
the service's preferred encoder settings forced on them.
To prevent from causing confusion/issues for our most awesome and
respected locale editors, only localize and translate the relevant text
rather than the extensions of the filter.
Adds an 'advanced' mode to the output settings to allow more powerful
and complex streaming and recording options:
- Optionally use a different encoder for recording than for streaming to
allow the recording to use a different encoder or encoder settings if
desired (though at the cost if increased CPU usage depending on the
encoders being used)
- Use encoders other than x264
- Rescale the recording or streaming encoders in case the user wishes to
stream and record at different resolutions
- Select the specific mixer to use for recording and for streaming,
allowing the stream and recording to use separate mixers (to for
example allow a user to stream the game/mic audio but only record the
game audio)
- Use FFmpeg output for the recording button instead of only recording
h264/aac to FLV, allowing the user to output to various different
types of file formats or remote URLs, as well as allowing the user to
select and use different encoders and encoder settings that are
available in the FFmpeg library
- Optionally allow the use of multiple audio tracks in a single output
if the file formats or stream services support it
