- Make it so that encoders can be assigned to outputs. If an encoder
is destroyed, it will automatically remove itself from that output.
I specifically didn't want to do reference counting because it leaves
too much potential for unchecked references and it just felt like it
would be more trouble than it's worth.
- Add a 'flags' value to the output definition structure. This lets
the output specify if it uses video/audio, and whether the output is
meant to be used with OBS encoders or not.
- Remove boilerplate code for outputs. This makes it easier to program
outputs. The boilerplate code involved before was mostly just
involving connecting to the audio/video data streams directly in each
output plugin.
Instead of doing that, simply add plugin callback functions for
receiving video/audio (either encoded or non-encoded, whichever it's
set to use), and then call obs_output_begin_data_capture and
obs_output_end_data_capture to automatically handle setting up
connections to raw or encoded video/audio streams for the plugin.
- Remove 'active' function from output callbacks, as it's no longer
really needed now that the libobs output context automatically knows
when the output is active or not.
- Make it so that an encoder cannot be destroyed until all data
connections to the encoder have been removed.
- Change the 'start' and 'stop' functions in the encoder interface to
just an 'initialize' callback, which initializes the encoder.
- Make it so that the encoder must be initialized first before the data
stream can be started. The reason why initialization was separated
from starting the encoder stream was because we need to be able to
check that the settings used with the encoder *can* be used first.
This problem was especially annoying if you had both video/audio
encoding. Before, you'd have to check the return value from
obs_encoder_start, and if that second encoder fails, then you
basically had to stop the first encoder again, making for
unnecessary boilerplate code whenever starting up two encoders.
