FAQPage Schema
How do I record screen sessions on Linux for plugin debugging?▼

Record screen sessions on Linux by configuring and launching an ffmpeg-based screen capture integrated directly into the qol-tray plugin ecosystem to capture and verify visual interactions during development.

Do I need ffmpeg and slop to run screen recording on Linux?▼

Yes, you need ffmpeg, slop, and xrandr installed on your Linux system. These dependencies are required to ensure deterministic recording behavior and safe, predictable outputs across different Linux environments.

Can I use this screen recorder to capture failing UI interactions for bug reports?▼

Yes, you can capture failing UI interactions to illustrate issues to teammates. The screen recorder simplifies debugging and bug reproduction by delivering an end-to-end workflow for visual session validation.

What is the best way to manage ffmpeg screen capture within a plugin workflow?▼

The best way to manage ffmpeg screen capture within a plugin workflow is using a binary-first runtime approach with proper plugin manifest validation, ensuring deterministic recording behavior and safe, predictable outputs.

Does screen recording for qol-tray plugins require manifest validation?▼

Yes, proper plugin manifest validation is required. This step ensures deterministic recording behavior and safe, predictable outputs when configuring, launching, and managing ffmpeg-based screen capture within the plugin ecosystem.

Why does my Linux screen recording output vary across different environments?▼

Screen recording output varies if ffmpeg, slop, xrandr, and proper plugin manifest validation are not correctly configured. These components ensure deterministic recording behavior and safe, predictable outputs across Linux environments.
