How do I know I'm recording?

[Kai Hendry]

I usually screencast with a silly script: https://github.com/kaihendry/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/x11capture because it writes a file I've named "/tmp/r2d2" to let me know via my status bar... that I am recording:

dotfiles/bin/dwm_status at main · kaihendry/dotfiles

Home directory with an absurd amount of tweaks. Contribute to kaihendry/dotfiles development by creating an account on GitHub.

Is there some simple file API to OBS on (Arch)Linux?
