So after installation I ran the program and hit the "Record rear" button. The notification LED turns red, presumably meaning that recording has started. Then I hit "Stop and save" and the red light turns off - recording has stopped. However not much else seems to happen. The program didn't ask for a filename and I don't see anything new in ~/Videos. The "Open latest video file" and "Rename latest video file" buttons don't do anything.
Damn xD.
It should save the file to ~/Videos - correct and using mp4 format. And yes notification led turning red is indicating that recording started - how ever at the moment it just toggles it on, it does not check does the recording actually start.
Do you hear small "click" sound after you press "Record rear" ? If not the camera did not start at all. If you did hear the click sound the error might be ffmpeg.
And it acts like all other video recorders (afaik) and does not ask the file name - it just saves them with date information. That is why I added "Rename latest video file" button because I think it is quite handy.
It uses mp4 format and it also search only mp4 files in ~/Videos folder. So if there are none "Open latest video file" or "Rename latest video file" or "Delete lates video file" buttons do not work - maybe there should be feedback for it? It is easy to add
