Built for OBS Studio 30.0.2
- Added handlers for h264_amf, hevc_amf and av1_amf, available as AMD AMF ... (via FFmpeg) with full support for FFmpeg 6.1 when OBS Studio upgrades to it in the future.
- Unsupported encoders are now properly hidden.
- Removed Minimum QP and Maximum QP setting as they simply served to confuse users, and had no noticable positive impact.
- Fixed a resource leak which could cause the NVIDIA Display Driver to crash if the user used a self-built or modified OBS Studio with broken FFmpeg binaries.
Built for OBS Studio 30.0.2
(Relative to 1.0.0 Beta 433)
- Added handler for FFmpegs av1_nvenc, available as NVENC AV1 (via FFmpeg).
- Replaced the parsing for the Custom Settings field with a parser that handles both command line style (-key value) and key-value style (-key=value). The latter style is now considered deprecated and will print a warning.
- Replaced custom log output for FFmpeg encoders with a generated FFmpeg video encoder command line.
Built for OBS Studio 30.0.2
(Relative to 1.0.0 Beta 417)
- Fixed Regression: Detection/Linking of FFmpeg libraries for FFmpeg encoders and functionality was not working correctly.
Built for OBS Studio 30.0.2
(Relative to 1.0.0 Beta 407)
- Fixed Regression: Perspective and Orthographic 3D Transforms will now update their mesh if the source or target filter changes size.
- Standalone builds for MacOS are now working again, thanks to a completely new way to build standalone binaries.
As the release of OBS Studio 28.0(.0) is looming on the horizon, StreamFX has a lot of catching up to do. A lot of work happened over the last weeks to make sure that StreamFX can be used and built with the latest OBS Studio version, despite it not being out yet. Let's go over what exactly will change
For End-Users
OBS Studio 28.0 is now the minimum OBS version
Due to massive build system, API and dependency changes, it is not possible to support both 27.2 and 28.0 and beyond in a single binary. Therefore in order to make it easier on myself, the minimum OBS Studio version is now 28.0.
MacOS: ARM64 support on MacOS
As OBS Studio is also heading in this direction, StreamFX is following suit and opting to support ARM64 natively. The support for ARM64 requires a MacOS version of at least 11.0 or higher, so no 10.15 for the ARM64 crowd. As we're currently running into a bug with this support, these binaries will be available either with the full release of v0.12 or when the bug is fixed.
System Requirements are now on each Release
With the requirements changing from version to version, it really doesn't make sense to put these in the documentation. Instead from now on they'll be at the bottom of the Release Notes, formatted to be easily readable by anyone. This change is not retroactive, and was only applied to the latest stable and current alpha/beta versions.
Deprecation of the AMD AMF (via FFmpeg) Encoder
With OBS Studio 28.0 the old obs-amd-encoder project is finally laid to rest, and a new AMD AMF integration is provided. This AMD AMF integration is technically and functionally superior, especially due to the FFmpeg AMD AMF encoder practically being unmaintained. Therefore users should prepare to migrate to the new OBS Studio integrated Encoder when OBS Studio 28.0 is released.
Deprecation of the AV1 (via AOM) Encoder
Same story as above, the encoder is no longer necessary. The integrated encoder solves most if not all situations, and for the remaining situations you have the other integrated encoders. And if those aren't enough, there's also ProRES and DNxHR.
For Developers/Contributors
No more Auto-Dependency system
Originally this system was extremely helpful, working in every situation, easily able to handle most if not all problems thrown at it. As time went on, more and more problems occured for which solutions were non-existent - if you ran into the problem(s) you were just screwed. So as I (and probably others) got extremely tired of this system doing its best to be the worst in the world, it was carefully removed from reality, never to bother developers again.
Formatting validation is now functional on all Platforms
Mainly affects people writing PRs, as without passing this test your PR can't be merged. Run clang-format before pushing!
