Screencast in Gnome Shell doesn't work

eyefox · 2011-06-02 18:36:20

Hi folks
I tried to record a screencast in the Gnome Shell using the built-in feature, but it's not working; there's no red dot and no file in my home directory. Is there a package I need to install? Or is it possible that the Keyboard-Shortcut is in conflict with another program, if so does somebody know how to change it?

Thanks

Screencast use gstreamer, and vp8 encoder by default, (org.gnome.shell.recorder.pipeline in dconf if you want to change it) which is in bad plugins.
After installing 'gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins' and restarting shell (alt+F2 then 'r') recording works for me. ~/.xsession-errors was also helpful.

You might solved it already, i wrote if someone still have this problem, like i just had.

No, I hadn't solved it, thanks

I know this is old but it might help somebody else as it did with me.

On my PC I had set up the "change keyboard layout" shortcut since I use two different languages on my keyboard, I used the Alt + Shift combination to change between layouts, as it turned out this prevented me from starting the screencast recording.

To fix the problem I had changed the key for keyboard layouts to "Scroll Lock" after that everything works just fine

Hi!

I have a problem with recording gnome3 screencast. When i press the shortcut key then the red corner appears as it is supposed to. But when i finish recording I only get 300 bytes large files every time and running it with totem says:

(totem:4286): libpeas-WARNING **: grilo: libgrilo-0.1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(totem:4286): libpeas-WARNING **: Error loading plugin 'grilo'
** Message: Error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error.
matroska-demux.c(4449): gst_matroska_demux_loop (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstMatroskaDemux:matroskademux0:
No pads created'

Really would love to get it working in some way.

Same here, installing grilo for dep. did not work

rasmuz · 2012-06-04 21:01:59

Any way to debug why it aint working?

wonder · 2012-06-04 21:02:53

is already debugged. search on our bugtracker

Gen2ly · 2012-06-23 14:04:30

Searched screencast on the bugtracker, not sure what I should be looking for.

Same problem here

satanselbow · 2012-06-29 22:04:46

The solution is here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30013 (in the comments)

Grab the downgade pkg here: http://arm.konnichi.com/search/index.ph … ommunity=1 (link is to x64 pkgs - change architecture radio button for x86)

You want the "libvpx-1.0.0-1" pkg

Downgrade libvpx with

# pacman -U <location-of-downloaded-libvpx-pkg>

rasmuz · 2012-06-30 20:41:33

Thank you! Got it all working now

Gen2ly · 2012-06-30 23:21:56

Ahh, thank you for this.

rulet · 2013-04-19 16:05:02

Doesn't work for now. Is it disabled in Gnome 3.6.2?

orschiro · 2013-04-20 05:08:38

Try installing the : pacman -Qs gst packages.

rulet · 2013-04-20 08:48:37

Which ones? I've installed gst-plugins-bad, but that didn't work.

I am not sure. Try installing all of them first and then see whether it works.

rulet · 2013-04-20 22:05:50

Does screencast works on yours gnome 3.6.2 installation(of course if you use gnome) with Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R?

I haven't tried it yet. But on the German Arch Linux forum it was discussed to install all related gst packages.

rulet · 2013-04-21 19:27:40

Did it was fixed or just discussed?

orschiro · 2013-04-21 19:58:34

Just discussed. Nobody yet tried installing all gst packages.

rulet · 2013-04-22 07:30:26

I've installed all gst plugins -- and that worked.

Just wonder which ones plugins package is responsible for screencast recording? Does gst and gstreamer packages may conflict with each other when they installed together?

Brainwall · 2014-10-01 15:51:32

CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+R no working Gnome Shell 3.12 for me. Everything plugins codec is instaled, RED bullet icon right up panel lights, but in home directory Videos nothing video file, what is fucking wrong...

Please don't necrobump, Brainwall. And also, is there a question here?
