there's no error msg, but de icon on de taskbar shows a red cross when i recording

and nothing has been recorded, only damaged media file...

MaartenBaert commented 3 years ago

If the icon shows a red cross then there definitely should be an error message, since it's the error message handler that triggers the red cross icon in the first place. Check the log files in ~/.ssr/logs.

Have you actually started the JACK server (e.g. with QJackCtl) before starting SSR?

How to use it?

MaartenBaert commented 3 years ago

I've provided some basic instructions here: https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/recording-game-audio/#using-jack But this was written under the assumption that most JACK users already more or less know how it works.

JACK is mainly used by musicians who need a more advanced audio system. If you don't know how to use JACK, are you sure that you actually need it? Maybe PulseAudio is good enough for what you need. If not, maybe look up some tutorials on how to use JACK.

PulseAudio can't record speaker and microphone simultaneosuly, and the pulseaudio solution you provided in your blog is not very useful
