I'm using Sabayon with Plasma 5.13.5 with Kernel 4.18.6.
I just installed simplescreenrecorder which I remember as a good, fast recording tool for desktop recording.
But I have trouble, when I am playing the recorded desktop (I saved in mp4 format).
There is a recurring flickering which is better described here:
http://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreen ... shooting/
A (possible) solution is also given here:
Code: Select all
The recording occasionally flickers, showing parts of the desktop background instead of windows
This is a known problem with Mutter-based window managers, which are used by GNOME 3 and Cinnamon.
Since this is a window manager flaw, other recording software is affected by this too.
For Intel GPUs, the flickering can sometimes be eliminated by uninstalling the driver for 2D acceleration (xserver-xorg-video-intel,
xf86-video-intel or similar).
If that doesn't help, then the only solution is to switch to a different window manager, or use OpenGL recording.https://ark.intel.com/de/products/97122 ... o-3_80-GHz
This is a sniplet of my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

And: Will this affect anything in my Plasma? I assume, I have to disable dri2 and maybe dri3 in xorg.conf file, but how?
Or: Do you have experiences with this topic (flickering of ssr recorded mp4 files) and you know how to prevent flickering?
Thank you very much in advance.
