The application seems to freeze when recording a small window with h264 codec on nvidia (x11). I suspect this might be a new nvidia driver bug. I'm looking into it.
edit: i found the issue. Nvidia has a new (?) bug that causes preset p6 to freeze when encoding a small window. I pushed a workaround for this until nvidia fixes the bug.
I fixed a bug that should have affected all amd/intel users but was only noticed by some intel users. Screen capture should now work if it didn't for you before.
@ThatOneSeong is that with the regular nvidia driver or the nvidia open driver? also please report bugs by email to dec05eba at protonmail dot com, instead of here
There seems to be an issue with recording individual windows, at least on my system running Plasma 5.27. Affects both capture from commandline and the gtk frontend, either selecting the window manually or capturing "focused". Running on an RTX 3060 ti with 535.98, but was affected on every previous driver version tried on this card.
Error: cuGraphicsGLRegisterImage failed, error invalid OpenGL or DirectX context, texture id: 2
gsr error: gsr_capture_start failed
It looks like there was a recent update to ffmpeg that causes cpu usage to increase a lot when recording a longer time. I'm investigating this, and reporting it to ffmpeg devs. For now you can use the flatpak version instead (https://flathub.org/apps/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder) which uses an old ffmpeg version which doesn't have this issue.
edit: I updated gpu screen recorder with an attempt to hackaround the issue. Please update gpu screen recorder aur package.
I disabled wlroots capture for now as it's broken. Capture on wayland now requires root access. If you have polkit running then a popup should show automatically asking you for password. (do not run the whole program with sudo, it will ask you to only run a small part of it as root if you run without sudo). I also fixed cursor offset on amd/intel.
I added support for wlroots capture (sway, hyprland, etc) to capture your monitor with cursor and without requiring root access. Pipewire support will be added eventually, but pipewire is very bloated so it will take a while.
I added experimental support for amd/intel/nvidia on wayland. Only monitor capture. Global hotkeys not supported on wayland when using the gui.
@DEC05EBA I haven't updated it for over 2 months. I had done a source code modification to change something, I forget what, so was avoiding the update. Up until recently it was still working, exactly the way I wanted. A recent update to some other library broke it, so I needed to update(or rebuild at least). I know for the gtk package I had changed the keyboard shortcut, but it looks like that is configurable now, so I don't have to do that in the code anymore thankfully. I think I may have changed the container type before, but I see there are several options available for that now also, so thanks for all these new features! Much appreciated. Thanks for the quick reply!
@Dan39 Well that sucks.. That has been there for 2 months so im not sure why it didn't work for you. But I removed it now.

The aur package gpu-screen-recorder-git was renamed to gpu-screen-recorder. Install gpu-screen-recorder instead or you may experience issues.
