Output Issue on Arch Linux #422

Open shasten opened 8 years ago

shasten commented 8 years ago

I have a brand new install of Arch Linux, and I am getting an unusual output error on simplescreenrecorder that I have seen posted, but no one seems to have published a solution for. Whenever I press the record button I get the following error:

[PageRecord::StartPage] Starting page ... [PageRecord::StartPage] Started page. [PageRecord::StartOutput] Starting output ... [Muxer::Init] Using format matroska (Matroska). [Muxer::Init] Error: Can't open output file! [PageRecord::StartOutput] Error: Something went wrong during initialization.[PageRecord::StartPage] Starting page ...

As you can see it doesn't matter what output I put in I get the same error. I have looked all over, and I appologize if this is an issue that has been solved because I couldn't find the solution. Thanks in advance!! Shasten

Are you sure that the file path is correct? If you are sure, run SSR from a terminal, it may show you additional error messages that are relevant.

So, I figured it out that when you have a name too long in the container that it gives this message. Don't ask me how I figured that out, but it is working. Thanks!!
