Hi all,

first of all thanks for this extension: it's the first "app" for me, that works!

To reproduce:

  • Record with a camera capturing_{0}
  • Quit Recording
  • While the stream is still encoding_{1}, the camera is still on_{2}.

_{0} Using VP9 and FHD makes the problem easily observable

_{1} Check the encoding progress either from nautilus or observe the extension icon in the system menu in the top bar indicating, that recording is ongoing,

_{2} the camera being on is seen by me from the LED next the the laptop built-in camera.

The problem

is, that during the encoding time now the camera is blocked for other applications. And the encoding time can be very long: think of a 90 in talk, that you wish to record.

During that time the camera is still on, as seen from the LED light next to it.

This does block the usage of the camera.

Best
