Built-in screen recorder not working properly

[notsoeazy]

I am using the video recording feature of caelestia. The problem I am facing is that the following does not work:

1. Record Region
2. Record Fullscreen

However the following works:

1. Record fullscreen with sound
2. Record region with sound

What is the software used by caelestia to record? How can I configure it to let say store the files in a different folder?

Does anyone know any fixes?

gpu-screen-recorder is used for recording in caelestia. dunno if you can configure it to store files in a different location.

fixed the record region. i was missing some nvidia drivers. but the fullscreen record is still not working.

You can use the CAELESTIA_RECORDINGS_DIR env var to control where recordings are stored.

Same here -- but only record fullscreen does not work. Everything else works.

Fullscreen Recording Fix

I managed to fix the fullscreen record.

In services/Recorder.qml change the parameter for start() function to this:

    function start(extraArgs = []): void {

This ensures that when recording fullscreen (which passes an empty argument) works since it assumes that if there is no argument passed, extraArgs will be empty which is what is required by the Process that handles the recording.

Hope this works on your problems

Have you tried recording using hyprland keybinds Ctrl+Alt+R ?

If that doesn't work maybe gpu-screen-recorder is not working properly. You may need to reinstall it.
