Starting with Windows 10 2004, we can disable WGC cursor capture, and
provide a user toggle. We swap out WGC support for our own though
because ours does not break hardware cursor support.
In window capture, it will search for a window with a specific title,
but will not search minimized windows. This fixes that by making is
acquire the correct window even if that window is minimized, rather than
potentially risk it capturing the wrong window of the same type.
This re-uses the game capture code for checking whether the original
window still exists or not. If it doesn't or the name changed, it'll
insert the value at the top of the list so it doesn't automatically
select another when the user opens properties.
Basically, this fixes an issue where opening properties could sometimes
cause it to instantly capture whatever window was at the top of the
list, which is undesirable.
Closesobsproject/obs-studio#2421
Adds an "Automatic" method to the capture method property of window
capture. This allows the ability for window capture to automatically
determine the best capture method to use. Primarily, it prefers BitBlt
in most cases, but will use WGC when it detects the window is a browser,
microsoft office, or a UWP program.
This was implemented because the new capture method has a number of
undesired effects associated with it -- the issue of the capture border
that we can do nothing about, the fact that we can't control the capture
of the cursor, and the fact that Microsoft designed it to switch the
cursor away from hardware cursor mode when the capture is active (there
was absolutely no reason to do this because even OBS can capture the
hardware cursor with no issue). Until we get a new version of this API
that doesn't absolutely blow, we're stuck preferring BitBlt instead.
But hey, at least people will be able to capture browser windows now.
Users will now have the option of legacy window capture via BitBlt, or
Windows Graphics Capture, which is new to Windows 10.
There are two annoyances with the new capture method though. One is that
there is a bright, yellow border added to the original window (but not
the OBS view of it). The other is that the mouse cursor is always
captured, and we won't be able to capture without cursor until a later
version of Windows 10 is released.
It should also be noted that DPI scaling is now applied, which may
result in blurrier images caused by Windows rescaling.
When changing the target for display or window capture, force a
refresh of the source by setting the timer to fire immediately. This
removes 1-3 seconds of "lag" before the new display or window is
visible and makes the UI feel more responsive.

Code submissions have continually suffered from formatting
inconsistencies that constantly have to be addressed. Using
clang-format simplifies this by making code formatting more consistent,
and allows automation of the code formatting so that maintainers can
focus more on the code itself instead of code formatting.
When window capture is not capturing a window, don't try to find the
window every frame. Instead, just check once per frame. The process of
finding a window has a lot of checks and requires a surprising amount of
processing.
Prevents the common problem of injecting in to certain processes and
getting the hook DLL "stuck":
- windows explorer
- steam
- battle.net
- gog galaxy
- skype
- uplay
- origin
- microsoft visual studio
- task manager
- league of legends lobby window
- windows 10 system settings window
This reverts commit 8d520b970d.
This can actually cause a hard lock due to the windows API when
destroying window capture. When the graphics thread locks the source
list for doing tick or render, and then the UI thread tries to destroy a
source, the UI thread will wait for the graphics thread to complete
rendering/ticking of sources. The video_tick of window capture would
then check windows in the same process and try to query the window's
name via GetWindowText. However, GetWindowText is synchronous, and will
not return until the window event has been processed by the UI thread,
so it will perpetually lock because the two threads are waiting for each
other to finish.
API removed:
--------------------
gs_effect_t *obs_get_default_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_default_rect_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_opaque_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_solid_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_bicubic_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_lanczos_effect(void);
gs_effect_t *obs_get_bilinear_lowres_effect(void);
API added:
--------------------
gs_effect_t *obs_get_base_effect(enum obs_base_effect effect);
Summary:
--------------------
Combines multiple near-identical functions into a single function with
an enum parameter.
API changed from:
obs_source_info::get_name(void)
obs_output_info::get_name(void)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void)
obs_service_info::get_name(void)
API changed to:
obs_source_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_output_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_service_info::get_name(void *type_data)
This allows the type data to be used when getting the name of the
object (useful for plugin wrappers primarily).
NOTE: Though a parameter was added, this is backward-compatible with
older plugins due to calling convention. The new parameter will simply
be ignored by older plugins, and the stack (if used) will be cleaned up
by the caller.
This fixes an issue primarily with filter rendering: when capturing
windows and displays, their alpha channel is almost always 0, causing
the image to be completely invisible unintentionally. The original fix
for this for many sources was just to turn off the blending, which would
be fine if you're not rendering any filters, but filters will render to
render targets first, and that lack of alpha will end up carrying over
in to the final image.
This doesn't apply to any mac captures because mac actually seems to set
the alpha channel to 1.
This is a bit of an optimization to reduce load a little bit if any of
the video capture sources are not currently being displayed on the
screen. They will simply not capture or update their texture data if
they are not currently being shown anywhere.
The mac and window game capture sources don't really apply due to the
fact that their textures aren't updated on the source's end (they update
inside of the hooks).
Because other capture methods may end up needing to share this code,
separate the window finding source code to window-helpers.c and
window-helpers.h.
This include a function to fill out a property list with windows, a
function to find a window based upon priority/title/class/exe, and a
function to decode the window title/class/exe strings from a window
setting string.
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.
API Removed:
- graphics_t obs_graphics();
Replaced With:
- void obs_enter_graphics();
- void obs_leave_graphics();
Description:
obs_graphics() was somewhat of a pointless function. The only time
that it was ever necessary was to pass it as a parameter to
gs_entercontext() followed by a subsequent gs_leavecontext() call after
that. So, I felt that it made a bit more sense just to implement
obs_enter_graphics() and obs_leave_graphics() functions to do the exact
same thing without having to repeat that code. There's really no need
to ever "hold" the graphics pointer, though I suppose that could change
in the future so having a similar function come back isn't out of the
question.
Still, this at least reduces the amount of unnecessary repeated code for
the time being.
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 plugin is just a generic service plugin for basic RTMP streaming
service stuff.
This just has a 'common' service that has a list of common/simple
streaming services that don't have their own custom service modules, and
then a 'custom' service that allows you to enter in the stream URL and
key manually, without a service/server list.
Also, copy the jansson VS projects file (don't modify the old one) so
that it's located in the vs/2013 directory, so that other libraries can
properly link with it without having to enter in extra information just
to include jansson
Now that we have the priorties window in we can finally be able to
select windows for capture source such as window capture. Only took
about an hour or two to write.
Also, fixed some depednency issues on winmm.lib with obs-outputs
