automatic device switching

[2024-08-14T16:41:54Z ERROR screenpipe_audio::core] An error occurred on the audio stream: The requested device is no longer available. For example, it has been unplugged.

e.g. i turned off my airpods

kinda tricky, what if someone does want to use specific devices?

seems like macos audio output audio becomes "disconnected" when closing the lid also:

[2024-08-20T09:26:04Z INFO  screenpipe_server::core] Finished record_and_transcribe for device Display 1 (output) (iteration 68)
[2024-08-20T09:26:04Z ERROR screenpipe_server::core] Error in record_and_transcribe for device Display 1 (output) (iteration 68): Audio device not found, stopping thread
[2024-08-20T09:26:04Z INFO  screenpipe_server::core] Exiting audio capture thread for device: Display 1 (output)

we should something so that when lip is up again it restart recording

also learning:

i was recording iphone mic and that prevented me from listening to music (but i tihnk we cant do much here, its the native thing of apple) should prob implement an app at some point for more control

should also work with monitor i guess?

say you work somewhere w second screen, unplug and go somewhere else, then it should automatically have swiched? (atm would crash)

[louis030195]

not sure how the UX would be

maybe user say

"always record these devices: x y z user can select even if disconnected now" and should only record when connected

[louis030195]

It would be great if you could dynamically switch to whatever is the active sound source

[louis030195]

instead just make option to always record the default devices
