Continuously running screen recorder for linux?
Continuously running screen recorder for linux?
Is there an available screen recorder for Linux that can continuously record everything, but only keep the last, for example, 10 minutes in a buffer, and anything older will be discarded?
Sometimes something interesting happens in whatever I'm doing, but replicating it after starting a recorder is hard. I also don't want to deal with terabytes of video backlog.
Ideally, when something share-worthy has happened, I'd push a button or a magic key combo, and the buffer will be saved to a file.
SOLVED:
ReplaySorcery as suggested by @trigg@lemmy.world does the job perfectly and just runs unobtrusively in the background after boot.
-
OBS Studio should be able to to handle that. You can set up hot keys for saving the buffer too.
-
They call it the replay buffer, it works well. I use it sometimes when gaming so I can capture a cool clip to share with friends.

Last I knew, replay sorcery. Looks like it's been a while since an update but worked fine a year and something ago.

Thanks!
Works perfectly even with proprietary nvidia driver: I now have a test clip of me dicking around in the terminal, followed by launching factorio and war thunder, and then setting up a cronjob to cleanup old recording that I saved but never used.
NICE!

Great stuff!

I don't know of any that would record everything on Linux, but steam has a thing to record gameplay of games launched from steam on linux: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/23B7-49AD-4A28-9590

I was thinking of something like that, except steam only accounts for a miniscule portion of what I want to record.

I believe you can configure it to record the desktop as well

I think wl-screenrec can do that, it has a "shadowcopy" like function with the '--history' flag. Wayland only and not sure if it works on GNOME or KDE though as I was using it with hyprland.
