ShareX - Open source screen capture/recording and uploading software - Hardware & Software

Imgur is back now.

[QUOTE=garychencool;50694935]So I've been using ShareX for my screenshots and it works great. I'm starting to do some tests with it when it comes to screen recording. So far, it works ok but when I record my Premiere Pro window with video playing back, it can get a bit choppy. Any recommendations in improving performance? Space is not an issue. I am using the screen-capture-recorder which is working way better than GDI grab. I am also recording audio using the virtual-audio-capturer. When I'm doing the screen recording, ffmpeg.exe uses 20% of my CPU. There could be better programs to use for screen recording?[/QUOTE] So I started to do some recording and then this happened after trying to stop a long recording [t]http://i.imgur.com/s4bFWnd.png[/t] Welp, there goes an hour of my life. So what can I do to prevent this from happening? By the looks of it, I should be able to change a parameter to increase the buffer size so it doesn't drop all the frames.

[QUOTE=lavacano;50711301]I guess Imgur's decided it doesn't want to have an API anymore for some reason. Maybe it's temporary. In the meantime, here's some ShareX settings for jesusfuck.me that I ripped off the Internet somewhere, if you need new image hosting: [code]{ "Name": "Jesusfuck.me", "RequestType": "POST", "RequestURL": "http://jesusfuck.me/api.php?apiKey=&format=xml", "FileFormName": "imagefile", "ResponseType": "Text", "RegexList": [ "<img_url>(.+)/di/(.+)</img_url>", "<img_delete_id>(.+)</img_delete_id>" ], "URL": "$1,1$/di/$1,2$", "ThumbnailURL": "$1,1$/dt/$1,2$", "DeletionURL": "http://jesusfuck.me/?d=$2,1$" }[/code][/QUOTE] not important but nice to switch over to the json version [url]https://github.com/ShareX/CustomUploaders/blob/master/jesusfuck.me.json[/url]

using own server with sftp feels much better anyway :pudge: but the transfer speeds are still really shitty, any news on that?

[QUOTE=Tinter;50538834]Is there any way to swap the control for resize magnifier(ctrl+scrollwheel) and switch menu item(scrollwheel) in the active capture interface? I use the magnifier resizing more often than I use any of the menu items. It'd make more sense for me to have them the other way around.[/QUOTE] Ah of course I have this question again after I mindlessly updated. Is there anyway I can keep the app updated and still have the old magnifier resize behavior?

[QUOTE=Scratch.;50714133]own server but https uploading much easier ssl sucks in .net 4.0 though[/QUOTE] Don't see how it is easier when you have to setup the https side when with sftp its just fill in some details and off it goes, nevermind the fact its vastly more secure than the https method. This is more pointing out that it should be looked into improving, not pushed aside by some half arsed potentially insecure fix.

[code]sudo yum install certbot certbox certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d your.domain.wow[/code] Add a couple lines to nginx.conf restart it, add a cron job to renew and done. I'm still using regular ftp though due to lack of effort.

Also assuming we're all using nginx. v:v:v

Nginx is amazing everyone should be using it fuck apache I'm not a native American. Swapped to ftps though because vsftpd doesn't do sftp because reasons I'm sure.

having an issue with screen recording. if the task is set to "Start screen recording" or any other, it works! but if the task is set to "Start screen recording using custom region", no bueno. whats up with that? it's literally the only setting I'm changing, the task. how come using a custom region is the only thing not working? the debug log only says this [code]2016-07-20 16.36.57.357 - Executing: Start screen recording using custom region 2016-07-20 16.36.57.360 - Starting FFmpeg recording. Video encoder: "x264 (mp4)", Audio encoder: "Vorbis", FPS: 60 [/code] then no more output. how come it stalls like this? [editline]20th July 2016[/editline] ah, the regular "Start/Stop screen recording" offers region functionality, how did I miss that?

Quick question. Is there a reason why the png quality is pretty horrible on pictures? [t]http://i.imgur.com/iyTHS1X.jpg[/t] Sorry for the weird order. Here is the ShareX alone, actually a bit more screwed than in the comparision. (I also tried different host, so imgur is not the problem, local file looks the same as well.) [t]http://i.imgur.com/Ox5Gpuq.png[/t] First I thought it was because it just uses PNG8 with its limited color range but comparing it to Photoshops PNG8 it shows a lot less quality loss(see the tail). Oh yes, this was a screen capture of the original jpg by the way. (Easier than opening PS to crop.) Is there any way that ShareX can save in png24?

When I took ss from your original jpg, I can't notice any difference too. Did you check with image viewer that it tells 8 bit to you?

A nice change for something I use often. Thank you for your work!

Are there any other audio recorders that work with ShareX apart from virtual audio capturer? It used to work but I just tried to record a video but it doesn't work unless I go with microphone or no audio. [code]IAudioCaptureClient::setup failed[dshow @ 00000000024e2cc0] Could not run graph (sometimes caused by a device already in use by other application) video=screen-capture-recorder:audio=virtual-audio-capturer: I/O error[/code] [vid]http://helifreak.duckdns.org/image/20160702090031247.mp4[/vid] That's from two months ago with no changes to the configuration.

Thank you for your work![/QUOTE] Released build [url=https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/wiki/Changelog]11.3.0[/url] now which contains this change. I hope just swapping it with magnifier would be sufficient instead of adding setting to completely disable mouse wheel action.
