Certain NVIDIA GPUs don't support NVENC, but ship with the NVENC
library, causing OBS to mistakenly think that NVENC is available when it
actually isn't.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1087
(This commit also modifies the following modules: UI,
deps/media-playback, coreaudio-encoder, decklink, linux-alsa,
linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, obs-filters, obs-libfdk,
obs-outputs, win-dshow, and win-wasapi)
Adds surround sound audio support to the core, core plugins, and user
interface.
Compatible streaming services: Twitch, FB 360 live
Compatible protocols: rtmp / mpeg-ts tcp udp
Compatible file formats: mkv mp4 ts (others untested)
Compatible codecs: ffmpeg aac, fdk_aac, CoreAudio aac,
opus, vorbis, pcm (others untested).
Tested streaming servers: wowza, nginx
HLS, mpeg-dash : surround passthrough
Html5 players tested with live surround:
videojs, mediaelement, viblast (hls+dash), hls.js
Decklink: on win32, swap channels order for 5.1 7.1
(due to different channel mapping on wav, mpeg, ffmpeg)
Audio filters: surround working.
Monitoring: surround working (win macOs linux (pulse-audio)).
VST: stereo plugins keep in general only the first two channels.
surround plugins should work (e.g. mcfx does).
OS: win, macOs, linux (alsa, pulse-audio).
Misc: larger audio bitrates unlocked to accommodate more channels
NB: mf-aac only supports mono and stereo + 5.1 on win 10
(not implemented due to lack of usefulness)

(This commit also modifies the deps/media-playback, obs-ffmpeg, and
win-dshow modules)
More fixes due to ffmpeg renaming some constants and deprecating
AVFMT_RAWPICTURE and AV_PIX_FMT_VDA_VLD.
Latter replaced by AV_PIX_FMT_VIDEOTOOLBOX per ffmpeg dev advice.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1061
(This commit also modifies deps/media-playback)
Before, the media-playback library would detect whether something was
seekable by checking the filename for "://", which is unideal because
there are other cases where targets may not be seekable. So instead, an
explicit "seekable" property (off by default) is now in place in the
media source when not in "local file" mode. Seeking will only be
enabled if local file mode is on, or if "seekable" is explicitly checked
by the user.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#1022
There's no need to display this property at the moment, the default
amount is more than sufficient for most cases. That and most people
wouldn't know what to do with it anyway.
In the media source, do not pre-cache frames if the source is set to
close the file when inactive because that setting is designed to allow
the file to be replaced by the user. If it's replaced, it can
unintentionally keep the old precache frame, playing the frame from the
older video when it starts up.
Preloading is designed to overwrite the current internal render texture
of the source so it'll be ready to play the first frame right when the
source is first displayed.
However, When the media source is set to pause on the last frame, it
keeps that current render texture visible, so preloading it with the
first frame will essentially overwrite the current render, causing it to
inadvertently show and pause on the first frame rather than the last
frame. So instead, just disable preloading when the user has it set to
pause on the last frame.
(Note: This commit also modifies deps/media-playback)
Allows buffering network-based media sources where supported. Default
is two megabytes of buffering.
Due to a noticeable frequency of crashes inside of FFmpeg when using
hardware encoding on mac, this feature is going to be disabled for now
pending more investigation at a later time.
(This commit also modifies the decklink, linux-v4l2, mac-avcapture,
obs-ffmpeg, and win-dshow modules)
Originally, async buffering for sources was supposed to be a
user-controllable flag. However, that turned out to be less than ideal
because sources (such as the win-dshow plugin) were programmed with
automatic control over their buffering (such as automatically detecting
USB 2.0 capture devices and then enabling in those cases).
The fact that it was a flag caused a design flaw to where buffering
values would be overwritten when a source is loaded from save data.
Because of that, this flag is being deprecated and replaced with a
specific function to enable unbuffered mode instead.
This happens because the enum had the incorrect name, and microsoft
automatically treats all enums as integers in C, regardless of whether
they actually exist or not. Microsoft makes terrible compilers and
whoever decided this was a good idea should be fired.
The "default" preset is not an actual default, but something Nvidia
decided to just call that way. It yields the worst quality per bitrate
out of all the presets, for no actual benefits. The actual FFmpeg
default is the hq one, which yields the best quality, especially when
twopass mode is enabled.
I can't think of a way to keep the "default" preset in a non-confusing
way, and as it gives no known benefits, might as well just remove it
entirely.
(Jim edit: Also made it so that if the settings have it set to
"default", it automatically treats it as "hq")
