@Boria138 You report issues by email as explained here: https://git.dec05eba.com/?p=about

But anyways, that error comes from your driver. Something is wrong with vaapi on your system. Try running this command to see if there is any error in the output or missing codecs: vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/card1

Maybe its using another device on KDE, you didn't explain if it's KDE X11 or KDE Wayland.

I couldn't find where to leave an issue, so I'll leave it here, since the maintainer is also the developer. Sorry if this is the wrong place.

In I3wm, the entry does not start with this erro

However, the same command works in KDE.

@kiERO fixed

A dependency change is neeed

linux-firmware: Required to record your screen on Intel Skylake or later iGPUs

Should be changed to linux-firmware-intel

I've never encountered an error like this before

typically I can install your updates without any issues

so I am very confused what I did wrong & how I should proceed to resolve the issue

@RpxdYTX it's hard to know what the issue could be, you have to make a proper bug report by email as mentioned here: https://git.dec05eba.com/?p=about the video might not actually be black, it could even be that your video player is unable to properly play h264 videos, so you will have to send the file by email as well. If your xorg server/wayland crashes then it could be an bug in your intel driver, did you try if recording works with obs studio when configuring it to use vaapi in video settings? or if recording works with gpu screen recorder -w portal option?

It partially works, i installed the intel related drivers Vainfo yields: ... libva error: /usr/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed ... VAProfileH264Main: VAEntryPointVLD

When recording on wayland, a black screen is outputted, and finishing recording closes the wm. Running through xwayland is hardly any useful since the recorded apps run through wayland and after testing with a x app the screen freaked out with glitches and the wm closed

@RpxdYTX You likely haven't installed the intel vaapi driver needed for your intel gpu. Look at the list of optional dependencies and install the one that fits your gpu. You can run this command to see if vaapi is working: vainfo --display drm --device /dev/dri/renderD128

vainfo is available in the package called libva-utils. The command will list VAProfileH264Main with VAEntrypointEncSlice beside it it's working.
