[New Feature: Touch Indicator] Screencast Video Recorder

[Julian Kaffke]

@Josh: Same with me :-( rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with "Force GPU Rendering" enabled on 4.2.2 just showing black screen. With Touch Indicator enabled you get the pointer recorded correctly but no Screen output at all. I would also appreciate any suggestions.

I troubleshooted this to death. I rely on this tool to record Youtube videos(My channel is "HaligonianType1") and after the last update it stopped working. After much trial and error I found the latest version only works on 4.1.2 roms.

I spent about two entire weeks trying different options and roms.

First, I tried about ten diff 4.2.2 roms. Then I rolled back to 4.2.1 and flashed a bunch of roms for that version of Android and still no joy. Finally I rolled back to 4.1.1 because I wanted to unlock my phone (Which I susccessfully did).

After all of this I was simply going to flash another 4.2.2 rom but decided to just flash a version of Android I hadn't ruled out, which was 4.1.2. Bingo! It worked great. To make sure it wasn't a fluke, I flashed several 4.1.2 roms and it worked on all of those builds.

Now, a heads up if you decide to do this, don't flash "original development" 4.1.2 roms like Carbon, Liquid, or Slim, etc. Those roms are modified and I think it is affecting how this app works. I can suggest roms that work well for me that are untouched, but still allow you to customize them. Those are Axis (SDS) ?`?._ AxisM RLS19 ? Evolve, Hyperdrive RLS12 Universal S3, MIUI 3.4.12, etc.

Basically any of the 4.1.2 roms you can find here in the part of XDA.

AT&T Galaxy S3 Android Development - xda-developers

These are S3 roms tho, but this may give you some direction and ideas of what you need to do. Good luck!

Screencast Video Recorder - Audio issues

Hello

I purchased your Screencast Video Recorder app from the Google Play store about a month ago and I've been pretty happy with it. I am using an HP Touchpad with CM10 on it, and the video quality is amazing. I have been recording all my videos in High video resolution at 30 frames per second. My encoding benchmark score is always 32,000+ with 30+ frames per second. The video quality has never been a problem, it has always been flawless.

However, lately I have been having audio issues. I am using the app with the "Record Audio (Mic)" option enabled so I can review Android apps on my YouTube channel (DroidAppVids - YouTube) and the audio worked fine on my first few videos. But recently the audio has been acting up, where I will record a video, and while reviewing playback before uploading, the audio will skip ahead or skip back, essentially repeating what has already been said earlier in the video, or sometimes just going completely silent. I have tried changing a number of HW encoding settings in the developer options menu in Android system Settings, as well as things like reducing the frames per second to rates below 30 FPS. But the video is never the problem, just the audio. I realize that since I'm on an HP Touchpad, which is natively a WebOS platform, and I'm using a 'hacked' version of Android, there wouldn't be any official support on this device, but I'm wondering if there is any advice on the audio problems I'm experiencing.

I have also tried restarting the device before doing a recording, closing all the running processes before a recording (aside from Android system processes, the Screencast app, and the app I'm recording), and would certainly be willing to try modifying other settings. But one of the apps I tried recording multiple times tonight and had audio issues with each time was one I had successfully recorded with no audio problems a few weeks ago, so I don't think the app's native video/audio had anything to do with it.

I was going to send an email to your mediasolutions.dev@gmail.com address listed in the Google Play Store to explain this issue, but figured this forum might be just as quick for a response, and that some other users of the app might have experienced similar issues and either already have a solution to suggest, or that they would be interested in any solutions you might be able to offer.

Thanks for your time and a great app, and hopefully you can steer me in the right direction for diagnosing the audio issues I've been having lately. Also let me know if you'd like me to email you a copy of one of the videos I've recorded that has the issues if that would help out with troubleshooting. Thanks again.

James

Re: [Beta Testers Needed] Screencast Video Recorder

I've had this program for a while and quite a few phones as you can see from my sig.

Performance issues occurred as soon as ICS came out IIRC.

Having same issue with blank screen recording on my s4.

Any idea on when this might be addressed?

 

[Ismet Karagoz]

Is it so hard to answer my questions?? I see that almost everyone has been answered, but not me: (...

I have a GT-p3110 which is rooted. I bought and installed Screencast Video Recorder. Also installed MoboPlayer but absolutely nothing helps.

My problem is that there is only a black screen after I recorded it. All the others sound recordings etc is ok.

May not my device is not compatible with this program??

please help: (

 

[DrunkFux]

This app really needs an update... The link in the app description brings you here for "support" but seems everyone is in the same boat and doesn't know how to fix it...
Last update seems to be December 2012 :-/

Goto phone settings->Developer options->Disable Hardware(HW) Overlays. Make sure this option is checked and force GPU rendering.

Any help for US galaxy S4 users? The video doesn't work at all with the correct settings in developer mode and with quality on high.

 

[Gurjot Singh]

The Video is appearing in bluish colours. Rest everything works fine, it's just that colours are appearing wrong like blue appears orange, yellow appears blue. Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks!

I really wish you did not use this as support forum I don't want to watch 20 second advertisement to register just to point out the application does not work.

That said:

The application records a black screen on Nexus 4 CM10.1. I have disabled hw overlays and forced gpu rendering and it is still recording 100% black screen. It is not a problem with codec not playing the video, the video is black and nothing.

 

[dokluch]

Nexus 4 (4.2.2, Cyanogen rooted) doesn't seem to work. Superuser acces is granted, HW overlay disabled and GPU render is enabled.

Videos the app records are just blank, codec is "isom", which is pretty standart, all media info seems OK, except for lack of video. If I record with a mic - sound is recorded over blank videos.

I really need this feature badly, help pls.

 

[Rancy X]

Hey there hi I love this app way too much to find out it does not work on my new samsung galaxy s4 will there be a fix for this? whenever I record something it comes out as a black screen.

 

[Jamike1]

Any update to my audio issue on the previous page? I see mediasol has replied to another user but hasn't addressed my question.

A "we're looking into it" or "sorry, we can't support HP Touchpads" would be better than no response.

Thanks.

James
