Description

GNOME Shell with this MR introducing hardware encoded screen recording: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2080

HW Encoder setup

## for intel, amd or nouveau
# Install vaapi plugin for gstreamer
sudo dnf install gstreamer1-vaapi

# install intel vaapi driver
# for intel 5th gen or newer use intel-media-driver (from rpmfusion-nonfree)
sudo dnf install intel-media-driver
# for old intel cpus use the legacy i965 driver (from rpmfusion-free)
sudo dnf install libva-intel-driver

# install amd/nouveau vaapi driver
sudo dnf install mesa-dri-drivers

# check if vaapi works using vainfo (part of libva-utils package)
vainfo

## for proprietary nvidia driver users
# install nvcodec plugin for gstreamer
sudo dnf install gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free

## finally clear gstreamer cache so the elements are not blacklisted
rm -r ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0

Gathering data

Logout and login again. Now do a screen recording using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R and watch the whole recording to check if it recorded everything. Then get logs using journalctl --boot | grep SCREENCAST > log.txt and send them to verdre@v0yd.nl including some info about your setup (output of vainfo, which CPU, GPU and GPU drivers).

Installation Instructions

sudo dnf copr enable verdre/screencast-hw-encoding
sudo dnf update

To revert back to the official package, use:

sudo dnf copr disable verdre/screencast-hw-encoding
sudo dnf downgrade gnome-shell
