Recording doesn't work

[tpimh]

I'm using retroarch flatpak with default settings and when I choose "Start Recording", the menu closes, but nothing happens.

Do you find anything in the log? May be missing ffmpeg or something.

Where can I find the log? If I run it with flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch nothing related to this issue is printed.

[RobLoach]

Should be something like......

flatpak run org.libretro.RetroArch --verbose

It seems to be due to libx264 not being found by ffmpeg. With the default settings, the logs say:

[ERROR] [FFmpeg]: Cannot find vcodec libx264.

Changing the codec to WebM from main settings works.

@laamaa Can you find the setting in the config? We can set it in https://github.com/flathub/org.libretro.RetroArch/blob/master/retroarch.cfg

[laamaa]

video_record_quality = "6"

this sets the profile to "WebM High Quality"
