Buffer Sizes Not Configurable

[LinuxMainframe]

Low: Make Buffer Sizes Configurable

Priority: LOW

Type: Enhancement

Location

libwsv5.c line 79 and usage in obsws_connect()

Issue

Buffer sizes are hardcoded:

#define OBSWS_DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE 65536         /* 64KB buffer */

// In obsws_connect():
conn->recv_buffer_size = OBSWS_DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE;
conn->recv_buffer = malloc(conn->recv_buffer_size);
conn->send_buffer_size = OBSWS_DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE;
conn->send_buffer = malloc(conn->send_buffer_size);

Impact

• 64KB might be too large for simple operations (memory waste)
• 64KB might be too small for complex scenes with many sources
• No way to tune for specific use cases

Enhancement

Add buffer size configuration to obsws_config_t:

Benefits:

• Power users can optimize memory usage
• Large scene setups can use bigger buffers
• Embedded systems can use smaller buffers
• Backward compatible (0 = use default)

For v2.0: Consider dynamic buffer resizing instead.
