@e8hffff This program is incompatible with wayland and may segfault, like when changing the recording area.

If you have problems running in X11 (not xwayland) with a fresh build, consider opening an issue upstream. Enough information to reproduce the problem should be provided. Stating that something doesn't work is too vague.

This build only records the whole screen region, not a selected rectangle.

Ahoj,

this builds with Qt6 now, which is the up to date Qt version. Please consider updating this PKGBUILD.

diff to the PKGBUILD to migrate to Qt6 (and also to make the license identifier SPDX compliant):

Looks lake in libavcodec some changes (AVCodecContext has no channells,channel_layout )

earlybird commented on 2024-06-22 06:07 (UTC)

Can you check your build? Todays update gives an error building the package - something about channels.

Hello SimpleScreenRecorder Team

The simplescreenrecorder app is not working correctly on EOS flavor Gnome 40.3

When simplescreenrecorde is used via wayland, the recorded screens are completely dark and in the x11 version the recording is performed, but the screen is blinking intermittently and all screens are not recorded without its entirety.

Here’s video:

Can anyone confirm if the OpenGL part still works? I LOVE SSR over OBS etc but recently noticed that I couldn't record anymore from chrome, firefox or brave via OpenGL. The preview window stays blank and it can't get the input res. I tried this on Manjaro and Arco. I even tried a old Manjaro bootable ISO - installed SSR "in RAM" and it appears the OpenGL is part is broken.

The main package (simplescreenrecorder-git) now uses Qt5, so this one should no longer be needed.
