I just cloned your repo im going to attempt to fix it these failures are on FreeBSD-14.0-Current im gonna try and loosen the dependencies up a bit a try installing with pip from local copy if that feels ill try building with setuptools . figured id make you aware of this ccause at the moment it is 100% unbuildable on freebsd current

Ignore mouse

add to AUR

Include a screenshot in the README

Since this tool is a front-end to an existing back-end, it might be useful for people who stumble upon it to have a screenshot before installing it.

I opened a PR to that effect. #13

screen picker

When fullscreen is chosen

audio device selection

Disable buttons according to recording state

Need flag `--force-yuv` or else all recorded videos not playable

Hello @it-is-wednesday. Hope you're doing well. Thank you for creating this graphical wrapper. It makes using wf-recorder a lot easier.

Description

I had the exact same issue mentioned in #152. All the videos recorded with cute-sway-recorder aren't playable when shared on uploaded. They are playable locally with mpv.

Solution

The solution is adding the flag --force-yuv:

-t, --force-yuv
Use the -t or --force-yuv option to force conversion of the data to yuv format, before sending it to the gpu.

Problem

Given cute-sway-recorder uses wf-recorder under the hood, it's solvable by adding the flag --force-yuv. But there's no easy way to add flags. Currently, I have to modify the src code:

1. cd ~/.local/pipx/venvs/cute-sway-recorder/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cute_sway_recorder/main.py

2. add --force-yuv to params like below:

params = ["wf-recorder", "-f", file_dst, "--force-yuv"]

Suggestion

Add an input box under Record audio so that users can pass flags.

Thank you!

Notify when wf-recorder is missing

I'm getting the following error on starting this app

Selecting default audio service

I use pipewire (and pipewire-pulse for compatibility), but whenever I try to record anything with audio, the only thing recorded is a slight buzzing. I don't know if it would help or not, but is there a way to try selecting pipewire as the default audio service instead of pipewire?

add optional delay before recording

select single window

A window selection dialog, like Discord's for example (when sharing screen)

Somehow make it a floating window by default

add time counter for ongoing recording length

Use i3ipc-python instead of abusing `subprocess`

https://github.com/altdesktop/i3ipc-python

Fullscreen recording would be cool

But I'll have to implement window hiding

prevent saving unsupported formats

Add some acreenshots
