Simple frontend for gpu-screen-recorder's replay feature running in the background. Smaller alternative for gpu-screen-recorder-ui. Makes use of Global Shortcuts and KDE OSDs. Replays are put into directories named after currently focused fullscreen app. If the active window isn't fullscreen videos are put into "unknown" directory.
Note
This app currently ONLY works on KDE Plasma and has been tested only on Wayland. I will not provide support or bug fixes for X11, but pull requests with fixes are welcome.
Install the package from AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/trayplay
Install rust toolchain and gpu-screen-recorder, then in the source code directory execute cargo build --release. Executable will be located at target/release/trayplay. kwin_script.js needs to be placed in dist directory relative to current working directory when starting trayplay or at /usr/share/trayplay/kwin_script.js
You can configure TrayPlay through its tray menu or directly with a config file which gets saved after the first start at /home/username/.config/trayplay.toml (or other directory set in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME)
