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). diff --git a/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder.appdata.xml b/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder.appdata.xml index 9ff258a..b91a691 100644 --- a/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder.appdata.xml +++ b/com.dec05eba.gpu_screen_recorder.appdata.xml @@ -25,10 +25,17 @@ </p> <p> There are some restrictions when recording on AMD/Intel or Wayland.
