Having moved over from x11 to wayland now on nvidia, is there a change to the best way to capture video? I've been using obs-studio with vkcapture. Is that sitll the best way under wayland?

pretty much

Kamquat•6/30/24, 1:33 AM

i'll admit bg3 spoiled me tho, not having complete voice acting makes WOTR seem ...less to me somehow.

I just have to figure out how to trigger replay recording now that I don't undertand how hot keys work anymore.

global hotkeys aren't a thing on wayland atm, at least not for obs

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:34 AM

I keep reading that the developer have to support it and that none of them do.

KKamquat They're done with all the DLC now. That's why I started it.

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

they're not done bugfix and balance patching it yet though

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

but soon(tm)

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

I don't understand how to do anything I normally did, so we'll see how all that goes.

halva•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

i think ive read that the current portals implementation ended up being inept for how apps actually work lmao

halva•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

they're basically writing a new way of doing it again

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

This also seems to be a 4+ year long thing everywhere. Lot of posts from 4 years ago "They'll support global hot keys soon and all our problems will be behind us."

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

Oh good deal.

Hhalva global hotkeys aren't a thing on wayland atm, at least not for obs

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 1:35 AM

kde at least supports global hotkeys for it

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 1:36 AM

but you have to enable em in settings

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:36 AM

I'm on gnome currently. But good to knew re: KDE.

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 1:37 AM

kde has an option to let apps listen to global hotkeys, and to limit what keys they're allowed to listen to

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:37 AM

I guess I can alt tab to OBS and use the hot key once the window is active?

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:37 AM

To save replays

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:37 AM

Rough on high-speed competitive multiplayer stuff, but will have to figure out what to do.

WWheeler I guess I can alt tab to OBS and use the hot key once the window is active?

halva•6/30/24, 1:37 AM

pretty much

halva•6/30/24, 1:38 AM

it's annoying but it is what it is

still bummed about the lack of an autoclicker

ydotool

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:38 AM

Think steam-recording is coming to desktop steam?

WheelerOP•6/30/24, 1:39 AM

Would that potentially have some replay-recording possible angles in wayland?

halva•6/30/24, 1:39 AM

just because processes running as regular user can't do certain things, doesn't mean you can't run a daemon as root to do these things

Hhalva just because processes running as regular user can't do certain things, doesn't ...

Onihikage•6/30/24, 1:40 AM

is that what I have to do with ydotool?

OOnihikage is that what I have to do with ydotool?

halva•6/30/24, 1:40 AM

i haven't used it in a while but iirc pretty much yes

halva•6/30/24, 1:40 AM

you first run the daemon, then you use ydotool to tell it what inputs to emulate

Onihikage•6/30/24, 1:41 AM

okay, first of all

Onihikage•6/30/24, 1:41 AM

assume I'm a dumbass

Onihikage•6/30/24, 1:42 AM

I just want holding thumb mouse button to spam clicks where my mouse is

halva•6/30/24, 1:42 AM

you need a background service to actually do things with a virtual mouse

OOnihikage I just want holding thumb mouse button to spam clicks where my mouse is

halva•6/30/24, 1:43 AM

ah
yeah it's not as user friendly as that

halva•6/30/24, 1:43 AM

ydotool is pretty much a barebones cli tool to automatically do actions

Onihikage•6/30/24, 1:44 AM

so... I'm still bummed about the lack of an autoclicker

Crono•6/30/24, 2:03 AM

I'll bite the bullet, rebasing to testing

Crono•6/30/24, 2:03 AM

Lord have mercy on my bandwidth

Pez•6/30/24, 2:04 AM

i am eating like 2tb a month on my starlink easy lmao

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:04 AM

My bandwidth is mildly annoying me. I have gigabit, can't top 700mbps on a speed test. I'll probably need to have a tech come out and test my line or something.

Crono•6/30/24, 2:05 AM

4GB download, I'll see it in an hour
