Installing the RPM directly worked, not sure why I wasn’t getting the install option in storeman after adding the repo like usual. Oh well.
Interesting enough, launching the app via lipstick doesn’t provide the Record option, the button state gets stuck on Loading. Launching via the Terminal (screenshot-gui) worked though! GUI is stuck at max of 24 FPS, but using screenrecorder CLI I was able to specify 60FPS. It seemed to play back at faster-than-realtime, so gonna have to tinker with it using ffmpeg to slow it down a bit (PTS + interpolation). Worst case is I do it in Resolve. Not to mention move it from AVI (very thicc) to webm or mp4.
Either way, this’ll do just fine! Thanks for the pointer @Matias, much appreciated.

I already invented the screen-recording app, but the people here have always damaged my reputation. Its name is SailRecorder. Give me your Telegram contact so I can get in touch with you.
oh yeah that doesn’t sound like scam at all, you couldn’t sound less trustworthy if you tried

I don’t know what you mean, but the only thing I know is that I saw the messages where you were angry at everyone because you wanted to have this made in 2025, but couldn’t because nobody showed any interest. While I was developing this app, I checked whether anyone had already made something like it. So far, only one has been made, and just like you said, it was terrible—only 5–10 FPS.
Here is the screen-recording app I made. It provides very smooth and clear footage. The only things left are some polishing touches, like adding Start and Stop options to the top overlay so it is ready for PR. The engine itself works very well.
I appreciate it but I haven’t used Telegram in probably close to 7+ years. Maybe worth considering putting it up on OpenRepos? Or if you have a git repo somewhere, might be good to have it at least there and RPMs that could be installed to make it easier.
Personally, I don’t really ask people if they’re interested in code that I write. I just put it out there and if someone comes by that happens to find it useful, great! Maybe a mentality you should have 
Either way, the recording itself looked very smooth. Exactly what I’d be looking for without all the manual post-processing.

Yes, thank you. It just needs the final polishing touches. The reason I mentioned Telegram is because I know you’re a YouTuber, so I thought maybe you might want to start using it in your videos now.
If you’re not in a hurry, I spent five days working on the engine and managed to make it run extremely smoothly. The only thing I’m not happy with is having to open the app just to start recording. Honestly, I’ve started to hate that. I want to give it an iPhone-style start-and-stop recording system, of course, if I can pull it off.

You mean like a start-button in the topbar?
Yes, to make it look more modern, because right now it looks like the Mobizen screen recorder app from 2010

run it as a service, and then communicate with it from the icon
here’s example of ze icon GitHub - Michal-Szczepaniak/miami-otg · GitHub

Yep. The toggles in /usr/share/jolla-settings/entries like toh.json + the EnableSwitch.qml should be a good pointer and like @Mister_Magister mentioned, run as a service, expose over dbus.

the repo I linked adds the icon so it has literally everything you’d want, its a perfect example
