feat: Screen Recorder script

[0xAquora]

Pull Request

Description

Motivation:
Sometimes i want to record a quick video explaining how to do something and opening OBS is too much hassle for such a small task so i decided to implement a few keybindings to make recording videos more comfortable for the users.

Description:
Its a little script that checks the encondings allowed by your gpu and uses slurp to choose the region you want to share, afterwards it gets saved in /Videos.

Dependencies:
wf-recorder

I don't know, maybe learn how we structure our scripts first?

If it's specific to the wfrecorder, then maybe just put it into a single wfrecorder.sh script?

Fun fact Hyde-CLI had a script for this would you like me to port this to HyDE? It supports 2 backends wfrecorder and wlscreenrec.

Would you like me to add it for you?

Yes please, that would be great!

Also it is true that it all could have fit into a single file commit, i am sorry.

Yup

[0xAquora]

I merged the functionality of those 3 files into wf-recorder.sh as adviced and updated keybindings accordingly

[kRHYME7]

Do you have any reasons not using wl-screenrec?

[0xAquora]

Because i am unsure if it works properly with Nvidia GPUs following this image, so since theres different tools for GPUs depending on which specific GPU you've got, i preferred to go with what i saw to be more standardized.

Though if you have any suggestion, i can try to make a script which chooses preferred tool for recording, but i think that should be declared on the installation script to not bloat the user.

update?

[0xAquora]

Changes done, mister 🫡

[kRHYME7]

It fails. Do we really need to explicitly add the encoders? I this wf-recorder handles it automatically

launching it works

USAGE

screenrecord.sh
BTW hyde-shell calls the scripts in hyde lib which is convenient when scripting or doing some other interopt.

Basics for binds

To start

hyde-shell screenrecord --start 

To exit/quit

hyde-shell screenrecord --quit

To use either wl-screenrec or wf-recorder, we can add --backend <backend>

[kRHYME7]

@TowhidMolla-Dev @0xAquora Please add your review. this should work for both wl-screenrec and wf-recorder.

[0xAquora]

Works as expected, though i removed the check for hyde-shell on my side because im still with the old dots.

Merging this now, thank you @0xAquora
