Modify `scripts/start-replay.sh` if you want to use other replay options. ## Run replay on system startup -If you are running a distro that uses systemd then you can use the systemd service in `extra/gpu-screen-recorder.service` instead. +If you are running a distro that uses systemd then you can use the systemd service in `extra/gpu-screen-recorder.service`. Copy `extra/gpu-screen-recorder.service` to a location where systemd can find it, for example: `$HOME/.config/systemd/user` and then enable and start it with: `systemctl enable --now --user gpu-screen-recorder`. Copying the systemd service file is not needed if you installed GPU Screen Recorder from AUR as this is done automatically. -You can then use the same `scripts/save-replay.sh` script to save a replay.

The systemd service is configured with the file `$HOME/.config/gpu-screen-recorder.env` (create it if it doesn't exist). You can see which variables that you can use by looking at the gpu-screen-recorder.service file. In general you only need to set the `WINDOW` variable to make it work. Restart the systemd service after modifying that configuration file. By default it saves videos in `$HOME/Videos`.\ If you are using a NVIDIA GPU then it's recommended to set PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 as mentioned in the section below. |
