- Add some temporary streaming code using FFmpeg. FFmpeg itself is not
very ideal for streaming; lack of direct control of the sockets and
no framedrop handling means that FFmpeg is definitely not something
you want to use without wrapper code. I'd prefer writing my own
network framework in this particular case just because you give away
so much control of the network interface. Wasted an entire day
trying to go through FFmpeg issues.
There's just no way FFmpeg should be used for real streaming (at
least without being patched or submitting some sort of patch, but I'm
sort of feeling "meh" on that idea)
I had to end up writing multiple threads just to handle both
connecting and writing, because av_interleaved_write_frame blocks
every call, stalling the main encoder thread, and thus also stalling
draw signals.
- Add some temporary user interface for streaming settings. This is
just temporary for the time being. It's in the outputs section of
the basic-mode settings
- Make it so that dynamic arrays do not free all their data when the
size just happens to be reduced to 0. This prevents constant
reallocation when an array keeps going from 1 item to 0 items. Also,
it was bad to become dependent upon that functionality. You must now
always explicitly call "free" on it to ensure the data is free, and
that's how it should be. Implicit functionality can lead to
confusion and maintainability issues.
