Select & Record

This is a simple bash script that allows users with a multi-monitor setup to record their screen.

Features:

• Detect connected monitors.
• Select a monitor from list.
• Launch a screen recording on the selected monitor.
• Recording runs in the background.

Dependencies:

• ffmpeg
• dmenu

Usage

To start a recording, simply run: ./record.sh

To stop a recording, run ./record.sh --stop or ./record.sh -s

You can also add the script to your '/usr/local/bin/' folder to access it via either the terminal or your launcher.

Toggle Script

I've also written an additional script that allows me to toggle the screen recording on/off. This is optional but mapping this script to a key is a very efficient way to start/stop recordings.

#!/bin/bash

# Check if 'record' process is running
if pgrep -x "record" > /dev/null
then
    # If it is running, stop it
    record --stop
else
    # If it's not running, start it
    record
fi
