YouTube Gaming is live since today (26 August 2015) and people will ask
for it.
This makes it a bit clearer that YouTube and YouTube Gaming
(which share the same ingestion system) work with OBS MP.
I made the rather tough call of not showing all services by default; I
didn't want to have to do this, but too many services are asking to be
put in to the program, and any time I add a service in to the list, I
feel uncomfortable because I feel like I'm potentially advertising them,
and/or they're using our program to advertise as well. Some of these
services are particularly bad at policing illegal/copyrighted content,
host content that I personally find distasteful or incredibly stupid
(what the heck is up with these "vaping" streams?), or are just fairly
terrible websites in general that I just feel uncomfortable with showing
by default.
However, I do not really want to reject anyone either, I want to let
their users be able to use our program with relative ease, but more than
anything I just simple don't want to be seen as "endorsing" some of
these websites (more than others in particular). I know that a "show
all services" checkbox is probably pretty pointless/superfluous thing to
do, but I feel like it's at the very least a means of saying "hey, I
don't really endorse these guys," or "use at your own risk," or
"warning: this website is incredibly terrible."
Honestly, I couldn't really think of any better solution that would
a.) still list all services without outright censoring them, and
b.) prevent us from being seen as "endorsing" all services.
(Although maybe this whole thing feels a bit.. passive aggressive. I
feel like I'm tipping over someone's garden gnome in the middle of the
night while they're sleeping. Still, it's something.)
NOTE: This code is backward compatible; i.e., if you previously had a
service selected that's not common but don't have the "show all"
checkbox checked, it'll still show that service for convenience.
Services almost always recommend this be enabled, and I generally want
to make configuration easier for users; with CBR they don't have to set
things like the CRF value.
Livecoding.tv (coding), gaminglive.tv (gaming), and beam.pro
(gaming/music)
I really don't see any problems with adding these particular services to
the local list while the actual remote ingest lookup code has yet to be
even started yet (as of this writing). They seem to be harmless
services that are dedicated to specific types of content (stated above).
