While the long descriptions were useful, keeping the updated and translated is pretty much impossible. Technology moves fast and not everyone that translates the project knows a lot about technology.
Therefore the long descriptions have now been replaced with a button that opens the wiki page for the feature instead. This should drastically reduce the number of help cases, and improve the translation coverage at the same time.
A complete redesign of the component and dependency system is necessary in order to support additional platforms, such as MacOS and other Linux platforms. Additionally it results in a much cleaner code base, which is less confusing overall.
Eventually it might be necessary to push components of StreamFX into their own CMake projects, as it is getting kind of complex now. Especially with the push for a proper plugin manager, things get dicey for big plugins like StreamFX.
Adds support for the AMD Advanced Media Framework H.264 and H.265 encoders via FFmpeg. The majority of settings are supported, and the UI/UX experience mimics that of the NVENC implementation. Various settings are left out due to their complexity and should be controlled via the custom parameters field.
Improves the previous logic and makes it compatible with the new additions in 26.x, such as sRGB. This was previously broken as the focus was on existing features which could be tested without requiring a compiler to be installed.
Incorrect understanding of how sRGB works with RGB and YCC/YUV formats also caused sRGB to be treated as RGB when I444 was selected. This should also now be fixed, hopefully permanently.
Fixes#331
Removes the NVENC entry on systems without an NVIDIA GPU by checking if the library for it can be loaded. If it can't be loaded, it's likely that the user does not have a system with NVENC capabilities - and guaranteed that they can't use the encoder as FFmpeg relies on these libraries.
Changes applied:
* Moved utility files to /util/.
* Removed unused #includes.
* Removed unused ::ffmpeg::tools function.
* Removed unused variables.
* Fixed missing parentheses in the version macro.
* Fixed missing override on virtual function overrides and removed unnecessary virtual keyword from them.
* Disabled additional warning for ATL headers on MSVC only.
* Replaced direct printf parameters with their macro equivalent.
* Replaced C-style casts with C++-style casts.
* Applied clang-format again after an earlier change to the CMake file broke the integration for it.
The levels 5.2 and above were added in a newer FFmpeg version than OBS Studio is shipping with. Ideally we'd take these options directly from FFmpeg, but that is for a future commit.
Fixes the issue where "high444p" shows as "high", and "high" shows as "main", caused by the internal option mapping never being correct across version changes. Instead of keeping our own copy of things that has to be adjusted for each FFmpeg version, it's easier to just use the FFmpeg values and names.
* Changes the encoder name to 'streamfx-{name}' from 'streamfx--{name}' as the latter is a typo, but adds a proxy to still support the latter in bad configurations.
* Some of the warning messages have been improved in order to better support end-users, and support for the new encoder error messages has been added.
* Adds support for the is_hw argument instead of blindly relying on obs_encoder_get_caps() which actually returns the wrong values due to rerouting.
* Fixed handler-less encoders showing up in the UI outside of debug builds.
* "Quality" Minimum/Maximum is actually QP Minimum/Maximum
* Bitrate Limits is now just Limits
* Buffer Size and Quality Target have been moved into "Limits".
With this, GCC 8 and above should now be able to compile the project both in obs-studio and as a standalone install. Some features are currently still not fully supported and require extra work, but the majority of things are supported and work out of the box.
