## Note
This software works with x11 and wayland, but when using wayland only monitors can be recorded. Hotkeys are also not supported on wayland (wayland doesn't really support this properly yet). Use X11 if you want a proper desktop experience in general.
### TEMPORARY ISSUES
-1) Recording the monitor on steam deck might fail sometimes. This happens even when using ffmpeg directly. This might be a steam deck driver bug. Recording a single window doesn't have this issue.
-2) Videos created on AMD/Intel are in variable framerate format. Use MPV to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video if you are using a buggy video player. Try saving the video into a .mkv file instead when using AMD/Intel, as some software may have better support for .mkv files (such as kdenlive).

You can use the "-fm cfr" option to to use constant framerate mode.
### AMD/Intel/Wayland root permission
When recording a window under AMD/Intel no special user permission is required, however when recording a monitor (or when using wayland) the program needs root permission (to access KMS).\
To make this safer, the part that needs root access has been moved to its own executable (to make it as small as possible).\

- There are some restrictions when recording on AMD/Intel or Wayland. Videos created on AMD/Intel/Wayland are in variable framerate format. Very out of date video players might have an issue playing such videos. I recommend using MPV or a browser to play such videos, otherwise you might experience stuttering in the video.

Recording a monitor requires (restricted) root access which means that you have to install GPU Screen Recorder system-wide: flatpak install flathub --system com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder
