wlstreamer

Wrapper around wf-recorder and ffmpeg that automatically switches the screen being recorded based on current window focus. Works with sway.

Installation

There's an AUR package called wlstreamer-git, alternatively you can build and install manually:

1. Make sure you're running sway
2. Install wf-recorder, v4l2loopback and ffmpeg
3. Load the v4l2loopback kernel module
4. Install the rust toolchain
5. Clone this repo
6. cargo install --path . --root ~/.local

Usage

See --help. If there are no screens available for streaming, a black screen will be shown instead.
