@Mubashirshariq hey thanks for this!

this is a good start, but this is just a function unused in a corner

here's what's missing:

• instructions to test and see screenpipe works without having manually ffmpeg installed beforehand
• running this somewhere, say in the CLI screenpipe-server.rs
• i can run the install instructions from README without the ffmpeg part and it works
• i can remove the ffmpeg installation in brew and it works
• i can remove the ffmpeg installation from app pre build and it works

i'd add tips for things like (but optional):

• h265 encoding which should reduce storage required
• well tested on all OSes and i don't have to test myself
• good unit tests that check in CI that ffmpeg is usable on all OSes using different runners

[Mubashirshariq]

sure i will test it and share the video

@louis030195 i am getting the following error while running the cli installation,i am not sure what is the reason ,could you please have a look into this one?

@Mubashirshariq are you on Linux wayland ?

ATM screenpipe vision does not work with Linux wayland (but does with X)

[Mubashirshariq]

yeah i am Linux Wayland,so i think i need to wait for this one ,i am getting a new machine next week

@Mubashirshariq cannot access the drive link, you can also drop the video in github comment fyi

will give a try

[Mubashirshariq]

The size of file is big so was'nt able to upload it as cmnt.I have given you the access

[Mubashirshariq]

@louis030195, have you looked into this video and the overall PR?

[louis030195]

@Mubashirshariq i just think this is missing lot of things, if i merge i will have to remove all the rest of the things that install ffmpeg myself like pre_build.js script, CI/CD, etc etc

[Mubashirshariq]

@louis030195 if it is working fine and you tested it ,i will remove those that is not an issue
