Problem starting Kazam

Hi
When I wanna start Kazam I get this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/app.py", line 553, in cb_record_clicked
    self.run_counter()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/app.py", line 790, in run_counter
    prefs.xid if self.record_mode == MODE_WIN else None)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/backend/gstreamer.py", line 93, in setup_sources
    self.setup_video_source()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/kazam/backend/gstreamer.py", line 160, in setup_video_source
    self.videosrc.set_property("startx", startx)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_property'"

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Re: Problem starting Kazam

Since Kazam is not in the official repos, did you install it from the AUR?  Or did you sudo build the python source itself?  If you did the latter then it's probably missing dependencies.  If you used the AUR PKGBUILD then it might be something else.

Edit: And if you're not wedded to Kazam then simplescreenrecorder which is in the official repos is a great alternative.
