Software-update: OBS Studio 29.1.0

Versie 29.1.0 van OBS Studio is uitgekomen. Open Broadcaster Software Studio is opensource- en crossplatformsoftware bedoeld voor het opnemen en streamen van videobeelden van een of meer bronnen, zoals een webcam, microfoon, mediabestanden en de desktop. In versie 29 is onder meer ondersteuning voor Intels hevc-encoder onder Windows en macOS toegevoegd. In deze update zijn verder nog de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:

Added support for streaming AV1/HEVC over Enhanced RTMPEnhanced RTMP V1 extends the RTMP protocol to support newer video codecs and HDR. More info here.Currently only supported by/enabled for YouTube as a beta featureHDR is not yet implementedAdded support for multiple audio tracks in Simple output recordingAdded a DLL blocking feature for Windows. This allows OBS to block problematic DLLs from attaching to OBS and causing freezing or crashes, for example 3rd party overlay hooks and outdated video capture devices.This blocks old versions of popular VTubing software virtual cameras that are known to cause freezes when accessing video capture device properties. If you are affected, please update to the latest version of your VTubing software.Added settings to select the audio encoder for streaming and recordingAdded an option to preload media sources used in Stingers to memory, to avoid frame skips during transitionsAdded Update Channels on macOS and updated Sparkle for smaller and faster updates going forwardAdded compatibility notices in the Window and Game Capture sources for WindowsAdded the ability to zoom browser docks with Ctrl - and + and the right click menuAdded a setting to record in fragmented MP4 and MOV formatsThese offer greater compatibility than MKV while providing similar resilience against data loss due to crashes, running out of space, etc.Fragmented MP4 and MOV files can be remuxed to regular MP4/MOV in cases where the former may not be read correctly (e.g. in older editing software)Added support for surround sound for AJA capture cardsAdded ProRes 4444 (XQ) support for VideoToolbox encoder on macOSAdded lossless audio recording options (FLAC/ALAC/PCM including 32-bit float)Added indicator if an audio source is unmuted, but not assigned to any audio tracksAdded AMD AV1 encoder to simple output mode

Output rescaling is ignored if the scaled resolution matches the current video output resolutionNVENC error messages now include more detailsChanged the default FFmpeg AAC encoder to twoloop which has higher qualityAllow symbolic links for VST pathsImplemented QVBR for AMF encodersExpanded support for subtitle tracks in VLC source (up to 1000)The Hotkeys tab in settings is no longer loaded until switched to, resulting in the Settings window opening much faster for large scene collectionsSwitched various internal data structures to use hash tables for lookups, resulting in significant performance and loading/saving time improvements with large scene collectionsExported scene collection JSON is now pretty-printed and sorted, allowing for easier tracking via git or other versioning mechanismsAdded a "What's New" entry in the help menu to manually open the post-update changelog dialogClicking the "Defaults" button in properties will now ask for confirmation before resettingImproved Windows OBS updater speed and reduced download size by using Zstandard compressionAdded platform-specific "What's New" notifications to better communicate changes or issues not affecting all operating systemsAdded option to force SDR Window Capture capture in Windows 10+ modeImproved YouTube thumbnail preview by using bilinear scalingIncompatible audio/video encoders will now be disabled based on the selected formatAdded HEVC and HDR support to VA-API encoderAdded HDR capture support for DeckLink sourcesVideo-related items in the right click menu of audio sources in the Sources list will no longer appearNative macOS dialogs now respect OBS being set to dark themesSignificantly improve screen capture performance on Intel dedicated GPUs on LinuxJACK inputs on Linux will now display "OBS Studio" in their name to clarify their origin. This may cause existing configured devices to stop working until updated by the userThe system color selection dialog is now used on macOSVarious improvements to the t-bar for a more predictable user experiencePlugins installed system-wide are no longer loaded when OBS is run in Portable ModeHardware Decoding of Media Sources can now use CUDAImproved DeckLink performancePython 3.11 is now supported in ScriptingAdded FDK AAC support on FlatpakBrowser docks now provide a "Copy page address" optionIncreased the maximum resolution of browser sources to 8192x8192OBS Websocket has been updated to 5.2Changed Add Source menu to sort case-insensitivelyImproved default buffering behavior for most Elgato video capture devices on WindowsAdded codec logging for the QSV encoderMade hotkey edit layout margins symmetricalAdded logging if the active encoder is incompatible with dynamic bitrate
