Bug ID: 480628
Summary: Spectacle refuses to do vertical screen recording
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.01.90
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When I try to do a vertical full screen screen recording, spectacle sometimes
freezes. Sometimes means most of the time if started via keyboard shortcut or
krunner, but only seldomly if started from the terminal.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Rotate device to be vertical
2. Open Spectacle
2. Choose the Recording tab and click the "Full Screen"-button
3. Click somewhere to start the recording
4. If red circle appears in the system try, terminate the recording and try
again
5. Otherwise open the spectacle window from the panel (I had to rotate the
screen back for this due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478259)
6. Click finish recording
OBSERVED RESULT
1. I get the following output in the terminal:
kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display
kpipewire_record_logging: DRM device not found
kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display
kpipewire_record_logging: DRM device not found
3. Spectacle minimizes and I get the following terminal output:
kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display
kpipewire_record_logging: DRM device not found
kpipewire_record_logging: VAAPI: Failed to initialize display
kpipewire_record_logging: DRM device not found
[libvpx @ 0x768bd01c8080] v1.14.0
[AVFormatContext @ 0x768bd051e340] Unable to choose an output format for '';
use a standard extension for the filename or specify the format manually.
kpipewire_record_logging: Could not deduce output format from file: using WebM.
""
kpipewire_record_logging: Could not open "" Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht
gefunden
kpipewire_record_logging: Could not set up the producing thread
6. Nothing happens, Spectacle is entirely frozen
EXPECTED RESULT
1. No error
3. No error, Spectacle minimizes, starts recording and spawns a red circle in
the system tray that allows me to finish the recording
6. The recording gets finished and saved and Spectacle is overall responsive
