It seems to be possible to encode with a different framerate than what libOBS is configured for. While technically any framerate appears to be possible, it is currently limited to integer fractions only in order to make the implementation much easier. Integer fractions only require skipping N frames and multiplying the denominator by N, where N is the configured integer. For sanity reasons, the limit of N is currently 10.
This allows power users to split their streaming and recording framerates with relative ease, and opt for things such as:
- 30 FPS (1/4) streaming with 120 FPS (1/1) recording.
- 30 FPS (1/10) streaming with 300 FPS (1/1) recording.
- 30 FPS (1/10) streaming with 100 FPS (1/3) recording.
- and so on.
While some of these combinations are just stupid, they are now available to power users.
While this may break some unusual encoders that require additional frames for extra data or sei data to be present, it fixes the problem where encoders would never record at all. May need to look into a different solution in the future.
Fixes#911
- Use auto in places where code clarity is improved or identical.
- Replace trivial constructors and destructors with default.
- Use true random for random generation.
- Use std::string_view where it is valid to do so.
- Apply const where it is valid to do so.
- Use references where it is valid to do so.
- Manually optimize memory usage with std::move and std::copy.
- Opt for memory efficient containers where the size is known ahead of time.

The build breaks if compiling against a newer version of ffmpeg which does not define the FF_API_NEXT macro and has fully removed the av_codec_next() API.
Replaces some very specific code with generic support for FFmpeg, which should last us much longer than the old way. Also improves the migration of settings, which wasn't quite working with the previous way.
When FFmpeg Encoders was originally written, FFmpeg 4.2 was still new and OBS Studio did not seem to want to update to anything newer for a while. This led to code being fine-tuned for FFmpeg 4.2, which stops working the moment OBS Studio upgrades FFmpeg. This removes the dependency on FFmpeg 4.2 hopefully, and allows using newer FFmpeg versions - or perhaps even older versions.
Additionally the nonsensical behavior of the Target Quality slider was fixed. It is now from 0 to 51, instead of from 0 to 100, and as such matches FFmpeg exactly.
With increasing complexity in video encoders, we end up with complex priority and drop priority structures. While the fields are currently ignored by the default libOBSs output plugins, in the future this might no longer be the case. In any case, the increase in complexity requires us to adjust to it.
This bug predates the merge into StreamFX and was present in the original release as a separate plugin. libOBS has never sampled Chroma at Center as far as I can look back into its history.
Fixes#676
As people appear to be far too willing to mess with settings they have absolutely no reason to mess with, removing these seems like the best option. Both of these can still be set if you know where to look, and aren't actually required for operation at all.
