vokoscreenng's Issues

Add timer setting for keystroke display

While we can hack the display length value from the default 5 seconds, it would be nice to be able to set the delay period on the main settings page for ShowKey..

Window selector uses focus change instead of click, making it impossible to select with "focus follows mouse" (Window selector gives less than 1 sec to select)

v3.0.2 from debian package.

Selecting "Window" as area does not let me select anything.
Pressing "Start" gives a blue crosshair for about 700 milliseconds then selects the window where the crosshair is. It requires long training and good skills to target a smaller window, it's kind of a good action shooter.
I would still prefer less skills required. :-) Like, having a button next to "Window" as "Select window", and start would already use that window.

(This cannot seem to be possible to circumvent by countdown or delayed start, either.)

Support VP9 and H.265/x265 encoders

Add support for VP9 and H.265 encoders.

Would be really cool to have the possibility to send the stream via network/youtube

Microphone is disabled on Ubuntu 18.04

Hey there,

Awesome piece of software! Was looking for a lighter alternative to OBS and this fits the bill perfectly.

One qualm though - I've updated from 2.5.0 (which is on the Ubuntu ppa repos) to 3.0.1 (from the snap package), and the microphone now seems to be disabled:

It's definitely connected and working with other software (like the old Vokoscreen and OBS) but does not show up here.

Any thoughts? I installed all the deps from the readme, as well as ubuntu-restricted-extras.

Weird behavior if "Videopath" folder doesn't exist

First of all, thank you for this program, but for some reason 2.9.5 does not work for me.
There is a log: https://hastebin.com/ewamirulod.coffeescript
When I try to record something by pressing "Start" recoding momentally stops
I can give any other logs if they are needed!

Document what preparing.sh does

https://github.com/vkohaupt/vokoscreenNG/blob/3.0/preparing.sh is in German

Allow framerates below 10

It would be great if framerates below 10 are allowed. I am trying to record some presentation and 10fps are may too much for this.

VokoscreenNG 3.0.0 is released

There is a new year and also a new version of vokoscreen with the addition NG and is now officially called vokoscreenNG. I would like to thank everyone who helped.

[Feature request] Add "Record only audio" option

It may appear a strange request, as the application is a screen recorder. But since I found it the best application that enable user to select with ease - & without any bug - source of audio recording whether from built-in microphone or from PC sound (I mean using "Pulse" option) without need to use "pavucontrol" to switch, I would like to suggest on you to add new option "Record only audio" to make user to record sound only (whether from mic or monitor ...) so that it will be located in 2nd tab (tab of audio) beside "Audio" check box, so that if user check new option "Record audio only" then the 1st tab (tab of screen) will disappear (indicating that no screen record will happened) & not reappear unless user unckeck "Record audio only" option in 2nd tab.

Best.

Showkey and Showclick are not included in version 3?

First, I would like to say that vokoscreen is the best screen recorder I've ever used!

I've been using Showkey and Showclick in version 2.5, and think they are very useful. Will these two functions appear in a later release or in a plugin?

Camera quitting

In the latest version of the code the camera fails a couple of seconds after activating it. In the 3.0.2 release this problem does not occur. Perhaps my log is helpful to help solve this:

Codecs missing in Ubuntu 18.04

I had been using v2.5 with no problems, and so installed v3.02 NG. Unfortunately it does not offer me these formats which are listed as "Not Available":

• X264
• openh264
• H.264 (Intel GPU)
• MPEG-2 (Intel GPU)
  I can use libx264 and mpeg4 through v2.5 no problem. I wish I could help more, but that's it!

Where can I found extensions for vokoscreen? [Question]

As the title saying, where can I find them?

vokoscreenNG for Windows

In the last night i released a beta from vokoscreenNG for Windows.
https://linuxecke.volkoh.de/vokoscreen/vokoscreen-download.html
Thank you for testing and help

Feature request

Hello,
in previous version there was a function who highlight mouse click.
Is it possible to have in version 3.X -NG?

VokoscreenNG 3.0.1 is released

Many small bugs fixed for Linux and Windows version.
The Windows version was also raised to version number 3.0.1.

no audio 8.1

Windows 8.1 everything works except audio - greyed out and blank with red 'x' on microphone. Looking to clarify on the instruction given on main page (it is not real clear) for Windows 10 where it says "build requires" - and lists three downloads; also says needs a codec pack:

1. This computer has the latest K-lite codec pack. Is that good?

2. Downloading and installing the three downloads "required" - is this to make the audio work? - for 8.1?

just wanting to check - at least one of those files is very large - thanks

Man page should be updated to reflect the new version

Currently the man pages are still referring to vokoscreen:

• should be renamed to vokoscreenNG.1
• all occurrences of vokoscreen within the manpages should be updated
• the vokoscreen.log is now named with a timestamp of the start of the program, so the manpage should refer to that

Just putting this as an issue so it won't be forgotten before release ^^

[feature request] Record as GIF

Can you add an option to save the recording as a GIF? I think this would be a really useful feature to have.

Audio only recording via vokoscreen without video stream in Linux

I try to find easy tool (eg for my grandma) to simple audio call recording in Linux (eg for record Skype call with my and remote side voice), but find nothing!

I need simple tool with one large button "Start" like vokoscreen, that can save several streams simultaneously (eg speaker and microphone).

We have Gnome Sound Recorder and KWave tools, but none of them can save both channels simultaneously - I can save only my voice, or remote voice, not both!

We have Audacious, but it have too many functions and look like professional tool, and regular users will afraid to use it.

And we have vokoscreen tool, that can easy record sound from two audio sources simultaneously via simple "Start" button, but it need to record video too, so if I want to save audio only, I must select small part of screen to make record with not large size.

So, can you make saving video not obligatory, for give users simple tool for audio-only recording? In interface we can simply add checkbox "Video" like in audio tab, and that's all!

If this is not too hard to implement, can you add option to make recording without video, in next coming versions? Thanks!

Does it work on Ubuntu 16.04?

While using vokoscreen, If I simply start and stop it works fine.If I pause the video in the middle, then video not getting saved in mkv version. so I moved to VokoscreenNG. I see redcross in the second tab. If I record the video , audio from speaker not getting recorded. Please provide steps to rectify it.
Thanks!

VokoscreenNG 3.0.2 is released

After a short time the second bugfix release comes that further increases the stability. Especially x264 and the camera benefit from it. Audio is now recorded with two channels and the Windows binary is now started directly instead of using a script.
The change log can be found here.
https://linuxecke.volkoh.de/vokoscreen/vokoscreen-changes.html
And the Windows installation package here.

[feature request] record webcam in separate file to build overlay after recording

Wow, new version looks awesome, looking forward to using it.

For some public presentations that I screencast to republish later it would be nice to have a feature where we could record the webcam in a separate file that can then be edited in for the other publishing. Right now, if I want to have the webcam overlay, the people in the room don't really want to see the webcam image while watching the live presentation. I've tried a workaround by having the webcam on the second screen, but that's not usable when needing a mirror setup between the screen and the presentation screen.

So I guess two options would be awesome :

• record in a separate file for post editing
• position the overlay before recording and when record starts hide the webcam image but insert it in the recorded file

How?

HI there look i try to download & compile with the follow commands :

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/vkohaupt/vokoscreenNG
cd vokoscreenNG/
./preparing.sh 
cd src/
export {C,CXX}FLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -march=native -mtune=native -pipe'
export OPTFLAGS='-O2 -fPIC -march=native -mtune=native -pipe'
qmake-qt5 VOKOSCREEN_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr QMAKE_CXXFLAGS="$OPTFLAGS" vokoscreenNG.pro 
make
./vokoscreenNG

All distros i use, i ever purge SystemD, PulseAudio & Avahi, because became my PC extremely slowpoke, and well, i don't see how i can record with ALSA, i try the old version VokoScreen 2.5.0 and i select ALSA but don't record Audio System :'(

After i saw this sad thing vokoscreen & ssr must need "PulseAudio" like the another sound system don't exist, like "ALSA", "Jack", "RoarAudio", etc . . .

Missing dependency for camera

To make the camera work an additional package is needed under linux. To make things work I needed to install libqt5multimedia5-plugins additionally to the already recommended packages. For future users it may be useful to add this package to the list in README.md.

Best, Dennis

PS. Great work on a nice and easy to use tool!

Qt: Session Management Error In Manjaro Snap Package

I get this every time I launch the app.

[bobby@bobby-celes ~]$ vokoscreen-ng
Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object weight does not accept value [40 210)

Any fixes?

Make this application available as flatpak on FlatHub [packaging]

Hi. 1st of all, I would to say thank you too much for creation & developing this very excellent application.

I would like to suggest on you making this application available as a flatpak on FlatHub. Flatpak is much better than snap from both security & compatibility points of view.

Got just High 4:4:4 profile for mp4 video

unfortunately the High 4:4:4 profile is not supported by many android software and also by firefox (at least in my debian it is not), for the files created with your software using Gstreamer's h264...
so all the mp4s created are not seen and/or present errors in a lot of situations.

is it possible to default a "lighter" profile?
ps: the simple High Profile ( not the 4:4:4) for example is supported today by a lot of software...

Detect and use "x264" encoder (if installed)

Could vokoscreenNG detect and use x264 encoder (if installed)?

• http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html
  • https://repology.org/project/x264/versions

Maybe, should it be added as suggested/recommended dependency by package maintainers?

Area selector widget can't moved to other screen in multiscreen configuration

in multiscreen configuration when I select Area capture type - selector widget are shown in screen, where Vokoscreen window is located, and can't be moved to other screen. This is not so serious for block near release, but will be good to fix in future.

New Beta

After half a year of intensive work, I have today released the 2.9.9 beta. I hope it's the last beta but I can not promise it. Thank you for testing and feedback.

Package naming differ in vaious Linux distros

What does it mean? Is it critical?

Is there any Linux package?

Where can I download a Linux compiled package?

Thanks in advance.

2.9.3 is broken

Not registering settings, ~/.vokoscreenNG/vokoscreenNG.conf contains just the version and nothing about settings or window position.

It seems there is a segfault in pure Gnome environment.

I know this is a beta version it can be buggy and requires bug reports

Thanks in advance

[FR] "Screenkey" and "mouse clicks" capture

I used "previous" Vokoscreen version cause it implemented an awesome way to show user keystrokes (screenkey) and mouse clicks (but this last feature, was incomplete cause there was no way to distinguish clicked buttons).

Will vokoscreenNG support this features?

Thank you

Audio and snap

Many users have problems with audio and snap.
I have tested with Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.10 and always have pulseaudio!!!!
My question. How the hell do you manage to have no pulse audio using "sudo snap install vokoscreen-ng"?

having "gstreamer-plugin-pipewire" installed is causing crashes

I just installed git version of vokoscreenNG on openSUSE tumbleweed, and It seems to crash everytime if you have "gstreamer-plugin-pipewire" installed but works just fine if you uninstall that pkgs...

How to cut produced video files and keep the output small?

Sorry, this is more a question than an issue, plus, it refers to vokoscreenPrevGen. But still: vokoscreen produces tiny MKV files which is great. When there is basically no motion, it takes basically no stream bandwidth (apart from audio maybe). However, when I cut the MKV with openshot and produce a corresponding MP4 using x264 and the same resolution, the file is huge - easily ten times bigger. Is there a good cutting tool that will help me keep the output small? Or specific parameters, I could tweak in openshot?

Area selection for other monitor

Hi,

Currently vokoscreenNG don't allow one to select an area in other monitor. I have 3 monitors and I would like to select an area to record screen in my secondary monitor. Thanks!
