kazam's Issues

Kazam on DWM

I can't screencapture using the DWM window manager.
Running through a terminal returns the following errors:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kazam/app.py:145: Warning: value "((GtkIconSize) 32)" of type 'GtkIconSize' is invalid or out of range for property 'icon-size' of type 'GtkIconSize'

WARNING Window Select - Compositing window manager not found, expect the unexpected.

Kazam is not really crashing, as it is still running. "*.movie, *.mux" files are also created in a directory. But I can not view them.

Bug - Glitch when screenshot an area

Problem

I wanted to capture an area of my screen, then I've selected Screenshot option on Kazam, selected Area option, true on Mouse Cursor and 3 seconds of delay. I've selected the area, clicked on Capture and this is the result:

Reproducing the Problem

A playtime display?

Does kazam support the time from the istant recording starts?

I need this to ensure I must stop my recording in 4 minutes or so.

WARNING Kazam - Failed to correctly detect operating system.(error occurs in garuda linux arch based)

kazam always gives this error while opening it in garuda linux

Kazam suddenly stopped working

It worked fine for few days, now when I take a screenshot from the icon(in Kali) above it takes a screenshot and then hangs for a few seconds, also it is not saved anywhere, I can't find the installation folder also. And I can't uninstall it either.

keymap

is that possible to configure keymap
after installation of linux package manager?

cause i know i can configure it after source code installation
just curious, is there a easier way to configure it, for instance, ~/.kazam
map control+super+r ==> map super+r

Max length of video

Add the option to set maximum duration of recording. So it won't hog up the system if I forget to stop recording. This bit me yesterday.

How to draw a circle on the mouse cursor?

I'd like to add a circle around the mouse cursor during the video, however, I couldn't see on the code where each frame is taken.

With the frame, we could manually add a text, a cursor around the mouse, etc.

How can we do that?

remove microphone sound

Hello, I made a mistake and accidentally recorded the screen with microphone audio, when I needed only internal audio. I have movie.mux file. is there a way to separate audios?

Unable to Uninstall Kazam

How do I uninstall Kazam completely, I have run the uninstaller in the following ways but I can still see the launcher icon in the application menu on Ubuntu 20.04.

sudo apt-get remove kazam
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove kazam

I want to know keyboard shortcuts of kazam

Keyboard shortcuts
------------------

SUPER-CTRL-Q - Quit
SUPER-CTRL-W - Show/Hide main window
SUPER-CTRL-R - Start Recording
SUPER-CTRL-F - Finish Recording

from the document, i knew that, there are four shortcuts for screencast.
i found another one SUPER-CTRL-P - Pause/continue Recording.

but there is no keyboard shortcuts for screenshot, why?
who knows all the shortcuts? please tell me, thank you

when disk is full kazam stops functinality

when disk is full I can not stop video writing.

after system reboot I have kazam_x3wsi9hn.movie.mux file which can not be opened

TODO:
Allow to keep at least saved part of video

Thank you.

Tray menu doesn't have an option to show main window

Without this, it is not very convenient to customize the area for recording, because you need to find the kazam window among all applications. The good example of similar menu is https://github.com/shutter-project/shutter

No Command line parameter for Remove only install

On Arch-Linux with Cinnamon the programm isnt working so i wanted to remove but no information for removing on README and no comand line prameter

Need Feature to set file name format

Hello, Need a feature to set filename. Currently, it has only a prefix available.

Capturing window doesn't capture menus

I've checked that on Firefox ESR and VSCode: menu windows wasn't be captured if you specify only one window for capturing. If this is feature, can you add a mode for capturing windows with a children windows?

Fails to bind keys on Debian Buster + Gnome 3 + Wayland

Capture seems to work fine but can only stop it by killing the process and it just dumps the file to the set directory.

Add GIF support

Right now, Kazam saves everything as .mp4. While it's a good format, it's not very useful for use in Markdown files or for filling bug reports.

It would be nice if Kazam could save as GIF.

Preferences not saved

Some of the preferences aren't saved after being adjusted.

2 that I've noticed:

The recording sound/mic volume
The auto save video directory

Kazam Doesn't load on Ubuntu 20.04 at all

I have recently updated from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04 but at once the Kazam stopped working. I am not able to open the app itself.

I have already tried this solution (#39) but didn't worked out as mine seems something different.

after record mouse cursor disappear on some screen regions

after recording a webm screencast, area, window or fullscreen, mouse cursor hides only on some specific region of the screen, expecially on window titlebar.
happens to me only when used kazam, my config is:

ubuntu disco 19.04
kazam 1.4.5-2.1ubuntu0.1

Can't record a window because Kazam hides all my windows

When I click 'Window' a message appears "Select a window by clicking on it", but it hides my desktop on that screen so I can't click on any windows.

I tried moving it to my other monitor, but then clicking on windows on my main screen doesn't do anything.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 using X11.

Kazam can't more than 1918*1078 resolution

Hello
I want to record my screen with Kazam, but problem is it can only record a proportion of my screen. Currently, I'm using Ubuntu Bionic Beaver, I have 4K screen , my real resolution is " 3840x2160 ". Ubuntu Bionic Beaver use X.Org by default.
Is there any way to fix this ?

Color Encoding Desaturates all colors. Linux Mint 20.0 (Ubuntu 20.04)

When recording in full-screen mode or part screen mode, The colours in the output get 100% desaturated and turn grayscale. Possibly an encoding issue.

Area screenshot on non-primary monitor captures the specified area on primary (wrong) monitor

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Crash on startup

Kazam app can't start because has error when prepare config.

OS: Arch Linux

I think what reason of crash is new version Configparser.

Picture folder location not saving

So basically the casting tab will save the desired location just fine but the screenshot tab will not save when you select a location (pictures, but default is user folder (no idea why in first place)).

Can this be fixed, as well as an update to adding shortcut keys for user friendlier experience(s).

MP4 screencast does not play in web browser

After recording a screencast as H264 (MP4), the file plays correctly in a video player like VLC but when we try to play the screencast in a web browser like Firefox, there is an error message "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt".
The workaround is to reencode the video with a tool like ffmpeg / avconc or avidemux (by selecting MP4 AVC x264). The reencoded file also has the advantage to have a smaller size (3 MB instead of 7 MB in my case for the same quality / codec).

Tested on Ubuntu 18.10 (LXQt) with Kazam 1.4.5.

Launchpad link in README not working

I'm trying to install Kazam on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core).

In the README, the section called "Installation - stable release" has a link to download the Kazam tar ball from Launchpad, but when I click on the link I get a message saying "Error: Page not found". See screenshot below.

Screenshot: copy to clipboard

Hello!
This is feature request: make parameter at Screenshot tab to copy image to clipboard instead of saving file.

Bug Details

Kazam will record with a zoomed in resolution about 2-4x larger in full-screen mode. This happens only happens after resuming sleep mode, such as closing the laptop Iid.

My only solution is to reboot right now. Everything else works great.

Maybe it's just me, or my display. Also, great software, ty.

video impossible to send to iphone

for some reasons the screencaste mad with kazam are impossible to send to iphone.

Is this project still alive?

I've been using the Kazam application for a couple of months. I have some problems already reported in issues but it does not has a response or commit. The last commits are from years ago and the software looks like it is losing compatibility with modern operating systems.

[Enhancement] - default screen choice

In general kazam is nice and easy to use, I tend to do more screen shots than screencast's, however i often accidentally screencast initially because it always defaults to screencast when you open it. A nice feature would be preferences to allow the user to choose what screen is default when opening

Black screen recorded in Ubuntu 17.10

I think it is related to this bug report.
Audio is recorded correctly, also mouse movements work.

Steps:

Download kazam from https://launchpad.net/kazam/stable/1.4.5/+download/kazam-1.4.5.tar.gz
Unpack
Install with:

Bitrate option

It's good to have a FPS option when recording a screencast but the size of the video can be still quite huge.
For example, a video of 439*253 resolution, at the ridiculous FPS of 8 FPS, on WEBM format, gives me a video of 60MB!
I need to go through ffmpeg program to manually change the bitrate and so the size of the video.
It would be great to have a bitrate option

Kazam Failed to correctly detect operating system

Hi, I'm a newbie, and I'm using Manajaro bspwm community edtion.
My kazam crashes on start.

Temp files and 'Cancel' button after Kazam finished recording

If you choose to 'Cancel' after Kazam finished recording, is the recording files are saved in any temporary folder and it's possible to recover it? or is it lost?

Thanks,
Ravid

Unusable with hidpi screens

Unfortunately kazam records only the quarter of the screen when trying to record the full screen. This is because of hidpi screen (UHD) instead of FHD screen.
At the moment, this software is just useless which is a shame as it is otherwise really great! Please could you address this issue.
Many thanks.

Increase range of countdown for timer-based recordings

In some cases, it would be great to start recording at a later time, e.g. to have a timer. This could be achieved using the countdown, but unfortunately, it is limited to 10s.
Therefore, it would be great to extend the range of the countdown to, say, 9999s.

can't get file after crash

Before finishing recording a screencast my computer shutdown and I ended up with two files .movie and .movie.mux.

Could you tell me how I can encode the video from these files please ?

Thank you

Kazam recorded parent window instead of selected modal window

At least I've selected modal window, but as if as kazam not outlined area that will be recorded (as, for example, shutter does) I'm not sure that I somehow not missed it (because shutter can select window even if it under another window, may be kazam has the same problem)

In webm media format, giving bad frame rate for longer duration recording.

when we record for longer duration, grater than 20-30 minutes, the frame rate is going very bad, even long pause for is recorded for more longer video. but sound is getting recorded properly.
