Been banging my head against the wall after failing to get 2.5 different devices to recognize an Elgato with a pi plugged into it (even after plugging it into a tv to be sure it was outputting). Keeps saying it's not plugged into a usb 3.0 port or just throwing a black screen despite using several different clearly labeled 3.0 ports..... anyway that is not the point.
At this point I'm looking into a native option preferably with minimal performance impact. I'm putting together a "Your new $35 Desktop" video for my place of work as we're doing education material for our customers during the pandemic. I've tried two googled suggestions both in the app repository, simple screen record starts with the --no-audio option but then keeps throwing errors and refuses to output the final video. Another one I downloaded just hangs and then crashes. Curious what my options are here.

Did you mean Simple Screen Recorder?

I've developed the most intuitive RaspiOS img editor on the planet.
With a GUI similar to Gparted, managing imgs and sd cards is a breeze!
Boot it in a VM, Flash from the Internet at top speed, Mount (to drop in files), Shrink/Expand, Repair, and more.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
I get this in the output and the final video is unplayable
ALSAInput::Init] Error: Can't open PCM device!
[PageRecord::StartInput] Error: Something went wrong during initialization.
[X11Input::~X11Input] Stopping input thread ...
[X11Input::InputThread] Input thread stopped.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
As I said, it works fine for me at default settings.
Here's what my settings look like:
We may be able to find the cause if you upload screenshots of yours.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
I appreciate the assistance here's the relevant screenshot. I've also tried MP4 with the same issue
Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
OK, I think I've found the problem: the audio device.
My Pi4 setup includes a usb microphone. You selected to record an audio device, but maybe none are available in your case.
The error seems fitting enough: "PageRecord::StartInput"
Anyway, try unchecking Record Audio on the first page.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
Hey that seems to do it thanks. My next issue is the software is reporting it recording at 11fps.Botspot wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 2:06 amOK, I think I've found the problem: the audio device.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
Great! Glad to have solved your problem.
Low framerate... What RPi model?

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
4B 4GB version. Nothing going on except sitting on the desktop in testing
Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
Are you both using the same video drivers. Maybe the framerate is different with the different options. What is the CPU utilisation at 11 fps? Screen resolution could also make a difference.
Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
Try using a MP4 container, with H.264 codec, at ultrafast.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
Which Elgato model have you got?
I record my Pi’s hdmi output using an Elgato Gaming HD60 plugged into my MacBook usb.

Re: Screen recording Pi 4?
So, I finally got the Elgato to work on a third PC I have no clue why it worked right on PC 3 and not 1-2.5 I was thinking the Elgato was broken. That ended up resolving all of my issues
