Hello.
I am trying to communicate with the built-in recorder in GNOME Shell using the
D-Bus API. I was able to do so using the following simple code:
#!/bin/env python
from gi.repository import GLib
from pydbus import SessionBus
import subprocess
loop = GLib.MainLoop()
bus = SessionBus()
calling = bus.get('org.gnome.Shell.Screencast', '/org/gnome/Shell/Screencast')
calling.Screencast('out.webm', {'framerate': GLib.Variant('i', 25),
'draw-cursor': GLib.Variant('b', False), 'pipeline': GLib.Variant('s',
'vp8enc')})
loop.run()
However, the output file contains lagging and the recording process takes a
huge amount of memory and CPU (see bug #757172). So one solution was to use V8
instead of V9. But As you can see in my code, it doesn't work. (If you remove
the pipeline option it will work normally using V9, but I didn't know how to
pass the v8 encoder option to it).
Any help would be great.
Sincerely.
