Issues with recorder / ffmpeg #68

Closed scasic closed 7 years ago

scasic commented 7 years ago

Recorder does nothing on Cinnamon 3.2.7 / Linux Mint 18.1 Serena with ffmpeg specified as capture tool. There are no resulting files in configured folder.

Also on previous versions I was able to select capture area using mouse click and drag&down move, now it doesn't work. Only drag&up move makes an area selected.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Can you please verify first that you have ffmpeg installed, and then let me know what version is installed? Due to the way Cinnamon Settings is designed, there is no easy way for my applet settings to detect which programs are installed, so they are all listed.

When you attempt to make a recording using ffmpeg, the actual command being run is logged to ~/.cinnamon/glass.log (if Cinnamon logging is enabled in Cinnamon Settings -> General). What happens when you run this command from a terminal yourself?

Finally, the capture instructions screen was changed to be consistent between UI capture and Area capture where a single mouse click is needed to dismiss the instructions. But dragging in either direction should work to select an area, are you saying it does not?

ffmpeg is installed, please see output of executed command which was taken from glass.log below:

Move this option before the file it belongs to. Error parsing options for input file :0.0+649,382. Error opening input files: Invalid argument

As for dragging please ignore my statement, i can't reproduce it anymore.

Ok, could you please try this workaround:

  1. Open up support.json in applet directory e.g. ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/capture@rjanja/3.2/support.json
  2. Find the ffmpeg recorder options towards the bottom
  3. Remove -qscale 1 from the three included commands
  4. Reload Cinnamon (Alt+F2, "r", )
  5. Try recorder again

If that works I can push an update. Thanks!
