Bug ID: 418346 Summary: Screen capture not working on windows Product: kdenlive Version: 19.12.2 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: User Interface Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org Reporter: cc.capr...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Screen capture is not working on Windows 10. Does not capture any audio. Tested on 2 machines with fresh installs of latest release (19.12.2). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install KdenLive and open 2. View > Screen Recorder 3. Click Record OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens EXPECTED RESULT File created and imported into Project Bin SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've had a look at the code [https://cgit.kde.org/kdenlive.git/tree/src/monitor/recmanager.cpp] (starting L238). It seems that the arguments to ffmpeg ignore any settings in the KdenLive GUI. A previous Qt app has also implemented ffmpeg capturing as detailed here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/46199/solved-screen-audio-recording-with-ffmpeg-using-qprocess The arguments to ffmpeg seem different. However, I cannot access the process to determine the actual arguments sent to ffmpeg [my own limitations]. Th arguments that work for me have the structure: ffmpeg -thread_queue_size 512 -f gdigrab -framerate 10 -i desktop -f dshow -i audio="Microphone (Plantronics Wireless Audio)" -ac 1 -ar 44100 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 2 -acodec libmp3lame out.mp4 which seems different to that generated in the code - especially the audio, which needs its own "-i" argument. A useful GUI option could optionally show the arguments sent to ffmpeg. This would allow debugging and for users to see the actual ffmpeg settings used for the capture. The suggestion inteh other Qt app and forum discussion to use the virtual screen and audio recorder: https://github.com/rdp/screen-capture-recorder-to-video-windows-free could make for a cross-platform solution. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
