Shadow Cast: GPU accelerated screen and audio recording for Linux

https://github.com/gmbeard/shadow-cast

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

Haha. There’s no Wayland support… yet. Check out gpu-screen-recorder for a very similar project with Wayland support

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.
