* Updated the libOBS dependency to 24.0.0. You will need to use OBS Studio 24.0.0 or newer in order to run the plugin.
* Implemented full hardware encoding for all GPU capable encoders (NVENC H264, NVENC H265). This should be perform identical to the OBS included full hardware encoders.
* Reduced the latency for some encoders to be as low as 1 frame, if settings allow. For NVENC, latency is tied to (B-Frames + 1) and Lookahead Frames, whichever is bigger.
* Further improved performance by throwing even less memory away every frame. Almost all memory is now re-used if possible and only released when the encoding is stopped by any means.
* Apple ProRes encoded files should now be remuxable when stored in Matroska (MKV) and survive at least one remuxing. This bug was already fixed in current master FFmpeg, and thanks for discovering this bug go to FRANKIEonPC.
* All color metadata is now set for encoders that support this, such as NVENC. Video players and editors that support this kind of metadata should see an improvement in color quality, especially with 10-bit or higher output.
* Framerate is now set to be fixed, further improving compatibility with players. It was previously left to be guessed by the video player through the timing information.
* Settings are now output to the log file for easier debugging. Please remember to send a log file with any issue you have with the plugin.
* Completely rewrote most of the plugin from scratch to unify the encoder class into one file, resulting in much lower code and size overhead and all optimizations being in effect for all encoders.
* Removed old ProRes encoder interface as it has been replaced with the new interface.
* Added support for NVidias H.264/AVC NVENC Encoder with all options, including the capability for YUV 4:4:4 encoding. It is slightly faster and less CPU intensive than the version included with OBS Studio.
* Added support for NVidias H.265/HEVC NVENC Encoder with all options. This finally brings the HEVC market to NVidia people in addition to the AMD people that have already been able to use this with enc-amf.
Adds the ability to override the UI for very specific encoders in order to properly support customized and detailed UI for each encoder. This design is flexible and allows for any kind of UI generator to work, without relying on an actual object too much.
* Copyright updated to include current year.
* Description updated to no longer talk about AMD encoder.
* Increased minimum CMake version to 3.8 from 3.1.
* Renamed project to xmr-ffmpeg-encoders from enc-ffmpeg.
* Add additional compiler options for Clang, GNU GCC, Intel C and MSVC.
* Set the C++ standard to C++17 with no non-standard extensions.
* Slightly improve project generation.
OBS Studio is a little bit behind with the FFmpeg Binaries, so the Zeranoe binaries will lead to the plugin being unable to load - which is not what we want. Instead just use the OBS Studio dependencies and offer a way to specify an already downloaded directory and also respect FFmpegPath if set.
