[BUG] Discord doesn't show preview for the generated videos

[Eddio0141]

Describe the bug Any recording made by gpu-screen-recorder uploaded to discord doesn't generate a preview, even if -fm cfr is set

To Reproduce gpu-screen-recorder -w DP-3 -c mp4 -f 60 -a "alsa_output.usb-Kingston_HyperX_Cloud_II_Wireless_000000000001-00.analog-surround-71.monitor" -fm cfr -o /mnt/hdd/Videos/replay/test.mp4

Expected behavior Usable video for discord

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• X11 or Wayland: Wayland
  • Desktop environment/Window Manager: swayfx
• Distro: NixOS
• GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT
• Version: 2023-11-18 build, from nix packages unstable

Additional context

• This is the actual video that isn't processed through ffmpeg: link

• Video runs fine on mpv, its just discord not accepting it

• Obs produces videos that I can directly use on discord

• Passing it through ffmpeg would make the video usable on discord: ffmpeg -i /mnt/hdd/Videos/replay/test.mp4 output.mp4, but I have to use it without -c copy, and that takes a while to do

• [ ] I played the video with the command mpv --no-config video.mp4 (if applicable)

• [ ] I use a laptop with an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU

You have to record it with h264 codec using the -k h264 option. Discord doesn't support hevc (which is the default in gpu screen recorder). It's mentioned in FAQ: https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/
