green-recorder's Issues

Install issue

Hello, again!

Thanks for the update that enables MP4, it seems to work fine here. But the installation issue still persists on my side.

When I try to install following the instruction in README:

python setup.py install

the problem is that all the files go inside the egg folder, so no icon in the launcher: the .desktop and icon files are not copied to the appropriate locations. Also, launching the app only works from the cloned repo because it is the only way it can find ui.glade.

By the other hand, using

pip install .

everything goes to the right place. But I would suggest that you replace the line you have added in commit 3f02ab6 and use this instead, so the all will also look for the ui file inside ~/.local:

os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), ".local", "share", "green-recorder", "ui.glade")

From what I have seen, it should work with any Python version. Another benefit is that it can be easily uninstalled with pip uninstall green-recorder.

When recording using mp4 format, there is a shift between video and audio.

Hello.

I noticed this behavior while recording a video for some tests.

Audio seems to start two or three seconds before related video is rendered.

I attached two videos of a game in Vice. You can hear the title music two or three seconds before the title screen is shown.

I'm facing this behaviour in both Wayland and X11. I compressed the file using zip, mp4 file were marked as corrcupted :(
wayland.zip
x11.zip

Doesn't really quit after recording

• Launch
• Record
• Stop
• Close

The result is that green-recorder is still in the process list.

The same does not happen when a recording wasn't done (e.g. launch and close).

Package for later Ubuntu versions?

Is there a package for Ubuntu 21.04? The README indicates not, but also warns against installing from source.

Thanks

when using pipewire, pacmd is not available (but pactl is !)

in recorder/recorder.py, you use pacmd list-sources | grep -e device.description, which does not work with pipewire.
The same result is, however, available with pulseaudio and pipewire if you use pactl list sources | grep -e device.description

Note : I do not know what is the expected output of pacmd list-sources | grep -e device.string (and pactl list sources | grep -e device.string gives no output on my system). However,it appears that audiosourcesids is never used…

[Enhancement] Recording wayland session in mp4 format?

Hello.

I wonder if you can add a mp4 encode option for wayland sessions? Webm is really low in quality compared to others formats.

Thanks for your answer.

huge size when recording a gif

I recently tried to record a gif with Green Recorder
I noticed that after recording coupling of minutes the following:

1. The file is huge

-rw-r--r-- 1 mgaber mgaber 383938461696 May 12 12:56 Filters.gif
-rw-r--r-- 1 mgaber mgaber 358G May 12 12:56 Filters.gif
2. The file won't open

Hi! According to the Arch wiki, your app supports wayland. I, however, installed it through the AUR and got this error:
