Fairly major revision. Been using this locally for months on HEVC & AV1 encodes and not had any issues currently.
I can't verify if my 4k HDR & DoVi setups are 'actually' working for real but they seem to look correct & I've not had errors for encodes or on Plex.
With AV1 support, admittedly this may be confusing since the plugin ID still specifies HEVC but I have updated the name. I didn't want to split this into a new plugin since the logic is pretty much exactly the same & I don't want to maintain two almost identical plugins)
- Adding AV1 encode support, added as drop down selector (default is still hevc)
- Logic should pick valid video profile for either encoder setting
- HDR detection & encode improvement (Appears to work on my HDR content & DoVi)
- Added target bitrate modifier so it's possible to tune the bitrate (useful for AV1 to crunch it down further)
- Better bitrate detection, should error if it can't be found at all
- Mac support is over. Doubt anyone was really using it on Mac but it's not worth touching further. Plugin should still use videotoolbox when on Mac but I won't be fixing up errors.
- Cleaned up descriptions & info logs where reasonable to try and clarify what's happening
- Tests updated & added new test for a fully loaded AV1 setup
- Added HDR support. Tested as working but can have issues. Warning applied
- Made duration check a bit better with try statement
- Cleaned up how the info log was used so it's more consistent & fixed up trailing spaces & line breaks
- Initial test fix up but more will be needed
Ended up finding more cases where errors would pop up and looks to all to do with HW decode.
- Now ensured that unless the incoming format is in the white list then sw decode is done instead
- Correctly removed -hwaccel cmd when sw decode happens preventing accidental hwdecode
- Specify the format to decode when using sw
- renamed oldformat var to match its use case (now swDecode)
- Info log updated with when SW decode happens and will report which incoming format caused it
- Added check to ensure video bitrate is actually a number
- Updated QSV decoders since VC1 & VP8 aren't supported on latest hardware (according to wikipedia...) & AV1 added
- Added new video codec check which enables protection for 10 bit encoding, basically trying to encode from something like mpeg4 into 10bit could cause issues
