Record last x seconds at all time? #8

Closed prescientmoon closed 1 year ago

prescientmoon commented 1 year ago

Hi! I was curious how hard it would be to implement a feature that would have this program run at all times. Then when a command is run, the last X seconds are saved as a video (the X would be configure beforehand). This can be useful for saving short clips of stuff after you've had it happen. Here is an exmaple program which achieves something similar.

Thanks in advance!

Let me know if that matches what you want, there's a new --history flag, and some usage in the readme

Hi @russelltg , that looks like exactly what I was looking for! I couldn't get the package to compile on nixos, so I wasn't able to try it just yet, but I'll ask around for help with this in nix spaces and report back once I get it running.

Feel free to open a PR updating the readme on how to install on NIX once you figure it out
