Donst work any more (>Deckyloader v2.10.3)

[Conan179]

Hello@all Since the latest (it could have been 2 or 3 updates) preview steam client update, the recorder no longer works for me. The "/tmp/decky-recorder.log" says the following: Decky Recorder: 2023-08-09 20:57:12,795 INFO Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/deck/homebrew/plugins/decky-recorder/main.py", line 29, in import psutil File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/init.py", line 102, in from . import _pslinux as _psplatform File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py", line 26, in from . import _psutil_linux as cext ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_linux' from partially initialized module 'psutil' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/init.py)

Immediately after a restart, the switch for the replay mode is on, if I deactivate it, close the recorder and open it again, it is on again, the recording buttons are grayed out and cannot be selected. Starting a recording doesn't work either

Looks like psutil is now included by default on the Deck. Try removing the following block from main.py

try:
    sys.path.append(str(DEPSPATH / "psutil"))
    import psutil

    logger.info("Successfully loaded psutil")
except Exception:
    logger.info(traceback.format_exc())

[Conan179]

There's nothing in the log, but it still doesn't work.

[safijari]

Alright, so here's the deal. You can fix the issue by bringing back the above block and changing the sys.path line to sys.path = [str(DEPSPATH / "psutil")] + sys.path. Something in Valve's vendored psutil is broken but we can circumvent it by forcing it to use the package I supply.

However.

That will not fix things, because capturing on the preview build has been broken for a long time. Here's an issue I opened in the gamescope github about it. I currently do not know how to fix it or if Valve will fix it or not. I'm very sorry about this.

For now if you wanna use recorder then please do what I do and go back to stable or beta.

[Conan179]

I added:

try: sys.path = [str(DEPSPATH / "psutil")] + sys.path import psutil logger.info("Successfully loaded psutil") except Exception: logger.info(traceback.format_exc())

nothing has changed since then, still the same behavior.

[Conan179]

I'm back to stable now, but it doesn't work either, I always get this error message: Decky Recorder: 2023-08-14 10:14:05,085 INFO Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/deck/homebrew/plugins/decky-recorder/main.py", line 29, in import psutil File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/init.py", line 102, in from . import _pslinux as _psplatform File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py", line 26, in from . import _psutil_linux as cext ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_linux' from partially initialized module 'psutil' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/psutil/init.py)

I changed the title because now it turned out that the Steamclient is not the culprit, but the Deckyloader! a downgrade to version v2.10.3 causes the deckyloader to work again. @safijari

On decky-loader 2.10.3 (never updated to 2.10.4) and still experiencing the same symptoms on my Deck.

Here is a video with the latest steam client and decky loader v2.10.3 https://github.com/marissa999/decky-recorder/assets/1906242/e3bc3566-c678-4d02-a5e1-2a949c5d9409

Closing in favor of #65. Fix has been submitted to store.

[Conan179]

@safijari no bug Just wanted to let you know, Decky Recorder works with the 3.4.9 beta without any problems
