Hi, I just tried to record something using transparent window, unfortunately it crashers.

Unity or Pantheon detected, switching indicators... avconv version 9.18-6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the Libav developers built on Mar 16 2015 13:19:10 with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) [x11grab @ 0x15022a0] Couldn't parse video size. :0.0+1920,61: Invalid argument /home/peto/silentcast/ffcom: line 20: kill: (9323) - No such process /usr/bin/silentcast: line 171: 4380 Terminated python "$py_script_dir"/transparent_window.py \""$all_keys"\" 1 15 gif

Can you paste line 12 from $HOME/silentcast/ffcom?

The output of 

xMax=$(xrandr --current | grep '*' | uniq | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d 'x' -f1

and 

xrandr --current | grep '*' | uniq | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d 'x' -f2 | cut -d '_' -f1

will also be useful. Thanks.

avconv -f x11grab -s 0x553 -r 15 -i :0.0+1920,61 -c:v ffvhuff -an -y /home/peto/silentcast/temp.mkv & ffmpegPID=$!

There is no output for xMax=$(xrandr --current | grep '*' | uniq | awk '{print $1}' | cut -d 'x' -f1 command line just hangs and waits for my input. Maybe I am missing something?

The last is 1200

I have not tried to work on Silentcast, but others have done some tweaking & I've released a new version. Please see if v2.1 solves this issue.
