I had this same problem. I was able to temporarily fix the extension so it would run by editing utilwebcam.js - line 247 From: To: You will not be able to use webcams but it will get the extension working until it's fixed. |

Thanks, this workaround is good for me, as I never had to screencast my webcam anyway! |

Thanks for reporting this bug. I've created a fix (#363). Could you please download the new version from here: https://github.com/EasyScreenCast/EasyScreenCast/actions/runs/9222014962/artifacts/1534386142 and test it? Thanks! |

I downloaded your zip file and replaced the files inside my .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/EasyScreenCast@iacopodeenosee.gmail.com with it. Seems to run ok after a few tests! Thanks! |
|
Finally, your zip file didn't work: when launching the recording, a op up says "an error occured, check the logs" and that's all. So I came back to the "normal" version (with the correction suggested by JohnBlackwell), and now it works ok. |

Thanks for testing and the feedback. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the original issue: In a fresh install of ubuntu 24.04, I can simply install the latest stable release of ESC and it just works (well, only tested a short screen cast). But I don't have any problems regarding Could you please post the output of the following command? For me the output is as follows: Probing devices... |

Thanks for the info. I finally see now a similar exception. You seem to have a webcam installed after all:
This problem appears, after I install the package As a workaround, you can remove this package, if you don't need it: |

Hmmm... how do I know that I DON'T need it to handle my webcam? I use mainly kDrive (Jitsi) and Zoom as visio applications (maybe linked to these apps?). Here is the output of the |

And here the output of the command |

(Not sure I wanna get rid of gnome-snapshot... !) |

Sure, if you need gnome-snapshot, then removing it is not an option. I've tested now again, and with my proposed fix I can't reproduce the problem anymore. I can record my screen multiple times, with various different options. I didn't see such an error.
Any chance, you can reproduce it and actually look at the logs? It might have been a completely different error. And as far as I know, the original error appeared when opening the preferences, but this error seems to appear when starting the recording? If so, it is definitively something else (and deserves an issue on its own). |

I was using EasyScreenCast with Ubuntu 23.10 with Wayland. After the dist upgrade, and several attemps at installing the utilty, I just can't make it work again.
Each time I install via the Gnome Extension utility, I get the same message error after the installation of EasyScrenCast :
I tried to use it on my Wayland session and on my X11 session, same failure each time.
I tried installing it via the Gnome Extension utility AND with the git command on my terminal (each time I erased the config files in my /home folder), same result as well.
Here are the "technical details" informations from the Gnome Extension GUI.
