Hi - I can't reproduce this on my system below. Are you able to start spectacle from a terminal and provide any messages that might provide some clues? Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.11.11-300.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor Memory: 30.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2

Thanks for attaching the console log - looking at the repeated "failed to open /usr/lib64/dri/hybrid_drv_video.so" lines in that log, do you have additional graphics driver and/or codec packages installed on your Fedora system? (For example, what's discussed here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/rpmfusion-hardware-accelerated-codec/117198 )

Sorry, the spectacle only records all black in screen mode and window mode, the rectangular region recording mode works normally I'll send you a video of the rectangular region

Thanks for confirming you still see that issue on 24.12.0!
José, does this work if you use the WebM/VP9 format? Or does it fail in the same way there?

Sorry for not getting back to you, but the problem stopped when I removed the libva-nvidia-driver.x86_64 package from my fedora. It was interfering and giving me a black screen when recording the spectacle.
Thanks! Sounds like a case of buggy or incompatible drivers, or something similar.
