FEATURES

• Multi-threaded
• Can record multiple videos in a single launch of love
• Can use different resolution/quality for recorded output
• Supports mp4, mkv, webm formats
• No audio

USAGE

Run main.lua.

This will create a folder awesome_video or recorder_xxxx (if out_dir is not passed) that contains the captured frames and the output video in the save directory of your game.

CONFIGS

Here are the options/flags you can pass in Peeker.start:

• w - width of the output. Defaults to size of the window.
• h - height of the output. Defaults to size of the window.
• scale - this overrides the w and h flags and is preferred to keep the aspect ratio of the output.
• fps - fps of the output video. Defaults to 30.
• out_dir = name of the directory where the frames will be saved. Refer to the wiki for the save directory location. Defaults to recorder_xxxx where xxxx is os.time.
• format - either "mp4", "mkv", or "webm" for the format of the output video. Defaults to mp4
• overlay - either "text" or "circle" to display when recording status is on.
• post_clean_frames - if true, the out_dir will be deleted after the vide output is successfully encoded.

DEPENDENCIES

FFMPEG is required.

NOTES

• Only Linux and Windows are supported for now. PRs for other OS are welcome :)
