Installed app by dragging to applications folder. Run app, menu shows up in menubar, toggle start recording, wait, stop recording. Nothing shows up in Movies dir, also no errors, no output at all.

mre commented 4 years ago

Hey @psytron, can you check if you have ffmpeg installed? (Run ffmpeg -version on the cli). Also, do you see any screenshots being recorded in your Pictures folder?

psytron commented 4 years ago

Yes ffmpeg was installed. Hmm nothing in Pictures folder.

Then that means the recording wasn't even started. Can you confirm that you got the "Recording started" message when you clicked on "Start recording" on the menubar?

psytron commented 4 years ago

I clicked start recording but I don't recall if there was a message. I've since removed it and implemented a small openCV script to address the issue. If you're targeting non-developers who may not have python or dependencies installed, it would be cool to bundle it all into the app?

@psytron That's interesting! Do you have your openCV script listed somewhere?
