I created Shadow Cast after becoming disillusioned with the lack of simple, performant display recording utilities for X11. All feedback welcome.

Neat, this could be interesting!

Oh. Anyway...

Thanks for sharing your work at Lemmy! I say this because although I don’t use Reddit, I’m sure that logically because there are more users there and being more famous, it is the preferred platform for developers to share their work.

Think you’ll implement a replay feature in the future? I love that feature.

And is there any chance of porting your job in the future to Wayland? Currently there is no program (only OBS, as far as I know) that allows recording in Wayland, it would be great to have more options.

Thank you for your kind words!

I haven’t made the jump to Wayland yet. I basically live in the terminal (when I’m not playing games!) so haven’t been in any rush. I definitely want to support Wayland going forward because it seems everyone has switched but me!

It has no support for AMD or Intel GPUs though.

I absolutely plan to support team red/blue GPUs. I just don’t have access to the h/w right now

is it faster/better than gpu screen recorder?

Just by “eyeballing” the two, there’s very little, if any difference on my setup.

I like how happy the dood is on the repo profile pic. Like he beat the final boss in Sekiro in one try. 10/10 project.

I wonder if this technology could be used in OBS's screen recording?

I’d be surprised if it doesn’t do something similar. I haven’t used OBS so I can’t really comment to it’s performance
