The call to CoInitializeEx in the win-mf module caused some sort of
conflict with the decklink module, causing the decklink module to crash
on exit. Instead, let libobs handle COM initialization.
It seems that certain encoders (quicksync) do not have proper back-end
support in the windows media foundation libraries for certain CPUs.
Quicksync doesn't appear to support CPUs that are not haswell (4xxx) or
above. It's really annoying, but there's not much we can do about it
until we implement our own custom quicksync implementation.
This check simply makes it attempt to spawn an encoder to check to see
whether the encoder can actually be created before registering an
encoder.
The previous commit (672378d20) was supposed to fix issues with the
encoder releasing while data was still being processed, but did not
account for when the encoder has never started up. That was my fault.
Furthermore, the way in which it was waiting to drain events was
incorrect. The encoder may still be active even though there aren't any
events queued. The proper way to wait for an async encoder to finish up
is to process output samples until it requests more input samples.
After I made it so that the encoder internal data gets destroyed when
all outputs stop using it (fa7286f8), the media foundation h264 encoder
started having crashes on shutdown. After a lot of testing, I realized
that the reason it started happening is almost assuredly because active
encoding events had not yet been completed.
After making it wait on those events by calling DrainEvents(true), the
crashes stopped. So asynchronous actions were clearly still occurring
and it was shutting down while data was still being processed, thus
leading to a crash.
Implements hardware encoders through the Media Foundation interface
provided by Microsoft.
Supports:
- Quicksync (Intel)
- VCE (AMD)
- NVENC (NVIDIA, might only be supported through MF on Windows 10)
Notes:
- NVENC and VCE do not appear to have proper CBR implementations. This
isn't a fault of our code, but the Media Foundation libraries.
Quicksync however appears to be fine.
API changed from:
obs_source_info::get_name(void)
obs_output_info::get_name(void)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void)
obs_service_info::get_name(void)
API changed to:
obs_source_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_output_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_encoder_info::get_name(void *type_data)
obs_service_info::get_name(void *type_data)
This allows the type data to be used when getting the name of the
object (useful for plugin wrappers primarily).
NOTE: Though a parameter was added, this is backward-compatible with
older plugins due to calling convention. The new parameter will simply
be ignored by older plugins, and the stack (if used) will be cleaned up
by the caller.
Adds Microsoft Media Foundation AAC Encoder that supports
96k to 192k bitrates. This plugin is only enabled on Microsoft
Windows 8+ due to performance issues found on Windows 7.
