Packet callbacks are invoked in `send_interleaved()` and
are useful for any plugin to extend functionality at the
packet processing level without needing to modify code in
libobs. Closed caption support is one candidate that is
suitable for migration to a packet callback.
The packet callback also supports the new encoder packet
timing feature. This means a registered callback will have
access to both the compressed encoder packet and the associated
encoder packet timing information.
Deprecated in 28.0, documentation erroneously states 27.2.
The following functions were erroneously not marked as deprecated in
the header:
- obs_sceneitem_set_show_transition()
- obs_sceneitem_set_show_transition_duration()
Adds a new encoder cap which tells libobs that rather than scaling
video frames in software, the encoder is capable of scaling them via
its own (presumably more efficient) means.
An encoder may implement this cap by comparing the VOI of its assigned
`video_t` and the results of `obs_encoder_get_width/height()`. If the
width/height values differ, then the encoder is being asked by libobs
to self-scale, and the resolution in VOI will be the raw frame size,
with the `...get_width/height()` being the intended output resolution
of the encoder.
It is important to note that GPU rescaling mode will take priority
over self-scaling. If GPU rescaling is enabled, the encoder will never
be asked to self-scale.
This is useful for discrete hardware encoders, where they might have
fixed-function video scaling logic that is highly efficient and fast.
Additionally, this feature allows a hardware device which is encoding
a full ABR ladder of tracks to be smart and only copy a video frame
from GPU -> Host -> Device once for the entire ladder, rather than
once for every track.
Adds global signals for when a filter is added to or removed from a
source. These will be helpful for listening for changes to a sources
filters without having to attach and detach a signal handler, which
would be annoying in the context of for example context menus which
change sources rapidly.
This reverts commit 58fb63030c.
This is not the ideal fix for the fact that scripts can use a deferred
update flag because it makes it so that filters in general cannot use
flags. We need to disable this via other means.
If there is filter_remove, it is reasonable to expect that there is also
filter_add. filter_add also enables filters to attach signal handlers
on the parent, and disconnect them in filter_remove.
