Service API Reference (obs_service_t)
=====================================
Services are custom implementations of streaming services, which are
used with outputs that stream. For example, you could have a custom
implementation for streaming to Twitch, and another for YouTube to allow
the ability to log in and use their APIs to do things such as get the
RTMP servers or control the channel. The `libobs/obs-service.h`_ file
is the dedicated header for implementing services.
*(Author's note: the service API is incomplete as of this writing)*
.. type:: obs_service_t
A reference-counted service object.
.. type:: obs_weak_service_t
A weak reference to a service object.
.. code:: cpp
#include <obs.h>
Service Definition Structure
----------------------------
.. type:: struct obs_service_info
Service definition structure.
.. member:: const char *obs_service_info.id
Unique string identifier for the service (required).
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_name)(void *type_data)
Get the translated name of the service type.
:param type_data: The type_data variable of this structure
:return: The translated name of the service type
.. member:: void *(*obs_service_info.create)(obs_data_t *settings, obs_service_t *service)
Creates the implementation data for the service.
:param settings: Settings to initialize the service with
:param service: Source that this data is associated with
:return: The implementation data associated with this service
.. member:: void (*obs_service_info.destroy)(void *data)
Destroys the implementation data for the service.
.. member:: void (*obs_service_info.get_defaults)(obs_data_t *settings)
void (*obs_service_info.get_defaults2)(void *type_data, obs_data_t *settings)
Sets the default settings for this service.
:param settings: Default settings. Call obs_data_set_default*
functions on this object to set default setting
values
.. member:: obs_properties_t *(*obs_service_info.get_properties)(void *data)
obs_properties_t *(*obs_service_info.get_properties2)(void *data, void *type_data)
Gets the property information of this service.
(Optional)
:return: The properties of the service
.. member:: void (*obs_service_info.update)(void *data, obs_data_t *settings)
Updates the settings for this service.
(Optional)
:param settings: New settings for this service
.. member:: bool (*obs_service_info.initialize)(void *data, obs_output_t *output)
Called when getting ready to start up an output, before the encoders
and output are initialized.
(Optional)
:param output: Output context to use this service with
:return: *true* to allow the output to start up,
*false* to prevent output from starting up
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_url)(void *data)
:return: The stream URL
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_key)(void *data)
:return: The stream key
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_username)(void *data)
(Optional)
:return: The username
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_password)(void *data)
(Optional)
:return: The password
.. member:: void (*obs_service_info.apply_encoder_settings)(void *data, obs_data_t *video_encoder_settings, obs_data_t *audio_encoder_settings)
This function is called to apply custom encoder settings specific to
this service. For example, if a service requires a specific keyframe
interval, or has a bitrate limit, the settings for the video and
audio encoders can be optionally modified if the front-end optionally
calls :c:func:`obs_service_apply_encoder_settings()`.
(Optional)
:param video_encoder_settings: The audio encoder settings to change
:param audio_encoder_settings: The video encoder settings to change
.. member:: void *obs_service_info.type_data
void (*obs_service_info.free_type_data)(void *type_data)
Private data associated with this entry. Note that this is not the
same as the implementation data; this is used to differentiate
between two different types if the same callbacks are used for more
than one different type.
(Optional)
.. member:: const char *(*obs_service_info.get_output_type)(void *data)
(Optional)
:return: The output type that should be used with this service
General Service Functions
-------------------------
.. function:: void obs_register_service(struct obs_service_info *info)
Registers a service type. Typically used in
:c:func:`obs_module_load()` or in the program's initialization phase.
---------------------
.. function:: const char *obs_service_get_display_name(const char *id)
Calls the :c:member:`obs_service_info.get_name` callback to get the
translated display name of a service type.
:param id: The service type string identifier
:return: The translated display name of a service type
---------------------
.. function:: obs_service_t *obs_service_create(const char *id, const char *name, obs_data_t *settings, obs_data_t *hotkey_data)
Creates a service with the specified settings.
The "service" context is used for encoding video/audio data. Use
obs_service_release to release it.
:param id: The service type string identifier
:param name: The desired name of the service. If this is
not unique, it will be made to be unique
:param settings: The settings for the service, or *NULL* if
none
:param hotkey_data: Saved hotkey data for the service, or *NULL*
if none
:return: A reference to the newly created service, or
*NULL* if failed
---------------------
.. function:: void obs_service_addref(obs_service_t *service)
void obs_service_release(obs_service_t *service)
Adds/releases a reference to a service. When the last reference is
released, the service is destroyed.
---------------------
.. function:: obs_weak_service_t *obs_service_get_weak_service(obs_service_t *service)
obs_service_t *obs_weak_service_get_service(obs_weak_service_t *weak)
These functions are used to get a weak reference from a strong service
reference, or a strong service reference from a weak reference. If
the service is destroyed, *obs_weak_service_get_service* will return
*NULL*.
---------------------
.. function:: void obs_weak_service_addref(obs_weak_service_t *weak)
void obs_weak_service_release(obs_weak_service_t *weak)
Adds/releases a weak reference to a service.
---------------------

.. function:: obs_properties_t *obs_service_properties(const obs_service_t *service)
obs_properties_t *obs_get_service_properties(const char *id)
Use these functions to get the properties of a service or service
type. Properties are optionally used (if desired) to automatically
generate user interface widgets to allow users to update settings.
:return: The properties list for a specific existing service. Free
with :c:func:`obs_properties_destroy()`
---------------------
.. function:: obs_data_t *obs_service_get_settings(const obs_service_t *service)
:return: An incremented reference to the service's settings
---------------------
.. function:: void obs_service_update(obs_service_t *service, obs_data_t *settings)
Updates the settings for this service context.
