audio issue - #894
Conversation
The previous Linux audio path spawned a fresh 'parec' / 'pw-record'
process on every recording and tore it down on stop. The
1.5-2.5s 'pipewire-pulse' attach cost was paid on every recording,
and the audio was repeatedly re-attached to the PulseAudio monitor
on each click of Record.
Replace the per-recording sidecar with a long-running capture:
- A single 'parec' / 'pw-record' process is started lazily on the
first recording that wants system audio, and kept alive across
subsequent recordings.
- A circular PCM buffer (60 s, ~11.5 MB) holds the most recent
audio. Each recording marks a start offset; the export extracts
the segment between the mark and the stop time and muxes it into
the video.
- stderr is captured from the very first byte (was previously
registered after a 750 ms grace period, swallowing the real
'Failed to open audio file' error from libsndfile).
- The 'first stdout chunk' (the WAV header in the old flow, the
first PCM chunk in the new flow) is the readiness signal; we
don't use a 750 ms timer anymore.
- Capture is fully cleaned up in 'app.before-quit' so quit is fast.
The renderer's 'setRecordingState(true, { systemAudioEnabled })'
now fires 'markLinuxAudioRecordingStart' on the warm capture, and
'setRecordingState(false)' fires 'extractLinuxAudioSegment(endTimeMs)'.
On first use, the sidecar is started in parallel with the portal
dialog so the attach cost overlaps the user's source selection.
Two related fixes folded in:
- 'parec --file-format=wav' is rejected by libsndfile when stdout
is a non-seekable pipe ('this file format does not support pipe
write'). Switched to raw s16le/48 kHz/2ch PCM via
'--format=s16le --channels=2 --rate=48000'; the WAV header is
synthesized on extract with the same constants, so the byte math
is correct on any sink.
- The 'capture' module-level variable is now only published after
'start()' succeeds, so a dead 'parec' no longer reports as
'isLinuxAudioSidecarRunning() === true' (which was causing the
misleading 'Linux audio segment extraction produced no file'
warning).
Cross-platform:
- Windows (WGC) and macOS (ScreenCaptureKit) paths are unchanged.
- The new module is gated behind 'process.platform === "linux"'.
Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.
The Linux audio sidecar (PR webadderallorg#1) starts a few seconds before the recorder, so the sidecar's WAV file is 'dialog_time' longer than the video. The exporter delays the audio by 'dialog_time' to align events, but the user can hear the sidecar's pre-recording audio at the start of the output. This commit makes that pre-recording audio user-alignable: the Source track item in the timeline is now draggable, and dragging it left/right updates the per-path start-delay override that the preview and the export use. What this commit changes: - New 'source-audio' item kind in 'useTimelineDndBindings'. Detected by id prefix 'source-audio-'. The existing drag-to-move ('onItemSpanChange') bridge in 'TimelineEditor' now routes the source-audio span change to 'onSourceAudioStartOffsetChange' on the parent, converting span.start to a per-path delay override. - The 'useItem' render in 'TimelineCanvas' now applies the per-path delay override to the source-audio item's visual span (the item is offset by the override relative to the clip). The source-audio item is no longer rendered as 'disabled' once the 'sourceAudioPath' and 'onSourceAudioStartOffsetChange' props are present, so dnd-timeline's drag handles are active. - The 'useVideoEditorAudio' hook exposes an 'effectiveSourceAudioStartDelayMsByPath' that is 'override ?? fallback' for any path the user has touched. The preview ('useAudioPreviewSync') and the export ('videoExporter' / 'modernVideoExporter' / 'audioEncoder') consume the effective map, not the raw main-process one. - The five fields (the override, the current build flags, the state, the persistence schema, and the project-normalize function) are wired end-to-end. - Persisted in 'projectPersistence.ts' as 'sourceAudioStartOffsetOverrideMsByPath'; surviving project save / load. Cross-platform: - Touches only the editor (renderer-side). Capture paths (Windows WGC, macOS ScreenCaptureKit, Linux XDG portal) are unchanged. Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.
Complements the drag-to-align (PR webadderallorg#2) with a 'cut' capability: the user can now type a 'Trim start (ms)' value in the per-track Source section of the audio panel to remove the pre-recording audio at the start of the sidecar file. The exporter physically shortens the audio buffer at extract time and reduces the effective start delay by the same amount, so the trimmed audio lines up with the video at the right wall-clock position. What this commit changes: - 'SettingsPanel.tsx' gains a 'Trim start (ms)' numeric input per source-audio track (system / mic). It writes to a new 'sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath' state in 'VideoEditor', which persists via 'projectPersistence.ts' as 'sourceAudioTrimStartOverrideMsByPath'. - The 'useVideoEditorAudio' hook subtracts the trim from the effective start delay for the preview, so the first 'trimMs' of audible content in the trimmed sidecar file lines up with the start of the video. - The exporter's audio pipeline ('audioEncoder.ts') physically shortens the decoded companion-audio buffer at extract time via 'sliceAudioBufferStart', the JS equivalent of FFmpeg's 'atrim=start=<seconds>' filter. The 'effectiveSourceAudioStartDelayMsByPath' is reduced by the trim, so the audible content stays in sync with the video after the trim. - New 'sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath' field plumbed through: * the 'videoExporter' / 'modernVideoExporter' config type, * 'audioEncoder.ts' 'process' and 'renderEditedAudioTrack' signatures, * the VideoEditor state, * project persistence (load + save), * the audio panel's per-track UI. - Drag-to-align (PR webadderallorg#2) and trim are independent: dragging moves the audio, trimming removes audio from its start. Together they cover the full set of cases (fixed offset / pre-recording silence / both). Cross-platform: - Renderer + exporter only. Capture paths unchanged. Tests: 998/998 passing, 'npx tsc --noEmit' clean.

the selected segment in both wrapping and non-wrapping branches, ensuring the
result cannot change while extractSegmentAsWav awaits getRecordingsDir().
Preserve the existing segment boundaries and wrap-around behavior.
- Around line 535-536: Update the promises in probeVideoAudioStreams and
runFfmpegMux to enforce a timeout: kill the spawned child process when the
deadline expires and resolve with the existing safe default, while preserving
the current exit and error handling.
- Around line 473-477: Update startLinuxAudioSidecar to cache the in-flight
start promise before awaiting newCapture.start(), return that same promise to
concurrent callers, and clear the pending state when startup completes or fails;
retain the existing capture guard and ensure capture is assigned only for the
successfully started instance.
- Around line 343-380: Update extractSegmentAsWav and the recording flow so
audio older than CircularAudioBuffer’s retained window is preserved, rather than
allowing extract to clamp recordingStartByte to the buffer’s earliest retained
byte. Persist marked PCM outside the circular buffer or stream it to a temporary
file before muxing, ensuring muxLinuxAudioSidecarIntoVideo receives the complete
system-audio segment from recording start.
In `@electron/ipc/register/recording.ts`:
- Around line 1773-1782: Import and invoke clearLinuxAudioSidecarPath in the
Linux sidecar handling flow after the sidecar path has been consumed, ensuring
latestExtractedPath is cleared for both successful and failed processing while
preserving the existing mux behavior.
- Around line 1942-1962: The set-recording-state flow currently starts
extractLinuxAudioSegment without exposing completion, allowing
store-recorded-video to read getLinuxAudioSidecarPath before extraction
finishes. Store the extraction promise in shared state, then await and clear it
in store-recorded-video before probing or muxing the Linux audio sidecar, while
preserving the existing success and failure logging.
In `@electron/main.ts`:
- Around line 1052-1056: Remove the unconditional startLinuxAudioSidecar call
and its catch handler from the process.platform === "linux" block in the startup
flow. Rely on the existing recording path to invoke startLinuxAudioSidecar only
when options.systemAudioEnabled is true.
In `@src/components/video-editor/VideoEditor.tsx`:
- Around line 1842-1853: Update the sourceAudioPathByTrackId useMemo to key each
track by the first existing sidecar path returned by the same resolution logic
used by the main process, rather than unconditionally selecting the first .wav
candidate. Ensure system and mic entries resolve across .m4a, .wav, and .webm so
trim and offset maps use the actual sidecar path.
In `@src/hooks/useScreenRecorder.ts`:
- Around line 1385-1394: Update the systemAudioEnabled flow around
prepareLinuxAudioSidecar to await and retain its LinuxAudioSidecarStartResult
instead of ignoring the promise. Ensure the corresponding
prepare-linux-audio-sidecar IPC handler returns that result, and display a
user-facing toast when success is false using the returned precise error
message; preserve successful startup behavior.
In `@src/lib/exporter/audioEncoder.ts`:
- Line 327: Update the needsSourceAudioMixing decision to account for positive
values in sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath, including single-sidecar playback paths.
Ensure VideoExporter and ModernVideoExporter route these cases through the
processing path that applies source-audio trims instead of processTrimOnlyAudio,
while preserving existing behavior when no source trim is present.

- Line 155: Update hasTimedSourceAudioFallback in
src/lib/exporter/modernVideoExporter.ts around line 1285 and
src/lib/exporter/videoExporter.ts around line 556 to also return true when a
sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath entry is positive, preserving the existing

Return a copy of the extracted segment.
extract returns views into the live ring buffer in the non-wrapping branch, and Buffer.concat in the wrap branch copies only that branch. extractSegmentAsWav then awaits getRecordingsDir() at line 363 before it copies the data at line 371.
The capture process keeps writing at writeIndex during that await. When the ring is full, writeIndex is exactly the physical start of the extracted region, so the oldest bytes of the segment are overwritten with newer audio before the copy. The saved WAV then starts with wrong samples.
Copy inside extract so the returned buffer is detached from the ring.

Preserve system audio for recordings longer than BUFFER_SECONDS. When recordingStartByte falls outside CircularAudioBuffer’s retained window, extract clamps the start to totalBytesWritten - BUFFER_SIZE, so a longer recording produces only its final 60 seconds. muxLinuxAudioSidecarIntoVideo feeds that WAV at time zero; replace can truncate the video through -shortest, while mix can misalign the system audio. Persist the marked PCM outside the circular buffer or stream it to a temporary file before muxing.

Add an in-flight guard so two capture processes cannot spawn.
startLinuxAudioSidecar publishes capture only after newCapture.start() resolves, and start() waits up to 30 s for the first stdout chunk. Until then capture stays null, so a second call passes the if (capture) guard.
Two callers do exactly this: prepare-linux-audio-sidecar (called from startRecording) and set-recording-state with systemAudioEnabled. app.whenReady() in electron/main.ts adds a third. Each call spawns its own parec / pw-record, and the later capture = newCapture assignment overwrites the earlier instance. The overwritten instance is never stopped, so its child process keeps reading the monitor for the lifetime of the app and its 11.5 MB buffer stays allocated.
Cache the pending promise and return it to concurrent callers.

The promise resolves only on exit or error.

getLinuxAudioSidecarPath() returns latestExtractedPath, which the sidecar clears only in markRecordingStart. This handler never clears it, and clearLinuxAudioSidecarPath is not imported at lines 34-43.
A following recording made with system audio disabled never re-marks, so this block still sees the previous recording's path. If the earlier mux failed, the WAV still exists and the previous recording's audio is muxed into the new video. If the earlier mux succeeded, the file is gone and ffmpeg fails with a log-only warning on every later recording.
Clear the path once the handler has consumed it.

Surface a sidecar start failure to the user.
The portal stream now requests audio: false at line 1665, so Linux system audio comes only from the sidecar. This call ignores the outcome, and prepare-linux-audio-sidecar resolves to void.
When neither parec nor pw-record is installed, the user enables system audio, the recording finishes, and the video has no audio track. No message is shown. The sidecar already returns a precise error string with per-distribution install commands.
Return the LinuxAudioSidecarStartResult from the IPC handler and show a toast when success is false.

Both exporter classes gate the audio "edited-track" strategy (the only strategy that reads sourceAudioTrimStartMsByPath) on hasTimedSourceAudioFallback, which checks only sourceAudioFallbackStartDelayMsByPath. When a user sets only a trim value (no drag offset) and no other OR-condition triggers the edited-track path, export falls through to copy-source/trim-source, and the trim never applies to the output file.

Adds the new 'Border' section to the video editor's left settings panel. Ported from the `framexshot` screenshot app: 8 preset styles (Plain, Frosted, Smoky, Glow, Raised, Carved, Outline, Frame) shown as a 4x2 swatch grid, plus sliders for padding and opacity, and corner-shape buttons (Square / Rounded / Pill) + corner-size slider. Preview is wired: the border styles project to a CSS object (borderStyleToCss) and a wrapper `<div>` around the video element. State is persisted via projectPersistence.ts (borderStyle, borderPaddingPx, borderOpacity, borderCornerShape, borderCornerRadiusPx). This commit does NOT yet bake the border into the exported video (v2 in the BORDER_FRAME_SPEC.md). The export pipeline ignores the border for now. That work is in the `renderBorderLayer` helper already in src/components/video-editor/border/, ready to be wired into the WebGL renderer as a separate commit. Files: - src/components/video-editor/border/borderPresets.ts (new): the 8 style definitions + borderStyleToCss projection. - src/components/video-editor/border/renderBorderLayer.ts (new): the OffscreenCanvas helper for the export pipeline (v2). - src/components/video-editor/types.ts: add 'border' to EditorEffectSection. - src/components/video-editor/VideoEditor.tsx: add the section to the section list, wire the state to SettingsPanel. - src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx: new borderSectionContent with 4x2 swatch grid + 3 sliders + 3 corner buttons.

The Border section in the settings panel was wired to the state, but the state was never applied to the actual <video> element. This commit wraps the preview in a <div> that uses the user-selected borderStyle + overrides from borderStyleToCss — the same CSS projection that drives the swatch thumbnails and (later) the export-side renderBorderLayer. The wrapper is a sibling of the existing aspect-ratio <div>, so the video's intrinsic size and the parent's aspect-ratio math are preserved. The border adds 2 * paddingPx to the overall preview size, and the inner video fills the padded area. Tests: 996/996 passing, npx tsc --noEmit clean.
The previous commit wrapped the preview in an extra <div> for the border, but the inner div had 'height: 100%' which collapsed to 0 because its parent's height was determined by it. Result: the video disappeared. Spread the borderStyleToCss(...) styles onto the same div that holds the aspectRatio + height: 100% + maxWidth: 100%. With boxSizing: 'border-box', the padding and border are drawn inside the box and the aspect ratio still drives the total size. The video element inside fills the content box (which is totalSize - 2*padding - 2*borderWidth).

Do not apply borderOpacity to the video wrapper.
borderStyleToCss returns CSS opacity, and this element contains renderPreviewPlayback. Any borderOpacity below 1 also fades the video and its overlays; 0 makes the preview invisible. Apply opacity to a border-only layer or to border colors instead of the wrapper.

…vers The HUD/source-selector window was capped at maxHeight:500 with a 420px default. Popovers open upward (side=top) with up to 400px of content, plus the ~46px bar and 20px bottom padding, so they routinely clipped at the window's top edge — most visibly on Wayland/Hyprland where the compositor controls window placement and the window can't grow beyond its initial bounds to compensate. - Bump the source-selector window to 620x620 default with maxHeight 900 and bottom-anchored initial position (so the bar stays near the screen bottom even if the compositor overrides placement). - Expose sourceSelectorResize(height) via IPC + preload so the renderer can shrink back to a tight footprint when no popover is open and grow when one is. - LaunchWindow measures the open popover's height via ResizeObserver and asks main to resize, keeping the bar visually anchored.
… them Radix PopoverContent was rendered with usePortal=false inside the bar's framer-motion motion.div. motion.div applies a transform, which becomes the containing block for any position:fixed descendants — so the popover positioned itself relative to the bar (a ~70px tall box at the bottom of the source-selector window) instead of relative to the viewport. Result: the popover's effective top was clipped at the window's top edge even when the window had plenty of vertical room, and on Wayland the dynamic setSize dance was useless because the popover was never in window space to begin with. Switching to the default portal (usePortal true) renders the popover at the body root, where position:fixed resolves against the window/viewport, and dropping avoidCollisions stops Radix from flipping to side="bottom" when the trigger is near the window's bottom edge.

site:electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/browser-window BrowserWindow setSize setBounds position behavior
💡 Result:
In Electron, BrowserWindow.setSize and BrowserWindow.setBounds are methods used to manage the dimensions and placement of a window. While specific documentation regarding the internal anchor point behavior for these methods is not detailed in the provided search results, the methods function as follows: BrowserWindow.setBounds(bounds, [animate]) This method resizes and moves the window simultaneously. The bounds parameter is an object containing x, y, width, and height. By providing all four properties, you can explicitly set both the size and the screen position of the window in a single operation. BrowserWindow.setSize(width, height, [animate]) This method modifies only the dimensions of the window while maintaining its current position on the screen. When managing window geometry, be aware of environment-specific behaviors: - On Windows, Electron has historically addressed issues where frameless windows could exhibit unexpected size changes or transparency loss when toggling resizability or interacting with high-DPI displays [1][2][3]. - When working with window movements and sizing, events such as will-resize and will-move provide a mechanism to track changes, though these events must account for display scale factors to ensure accuracy [4]. - If you encounter issues where windows appear in incorrect locations—particularly on secondary monitors with differing DPI settings—ensure your application logic handles explicit coordinates correctly to avoid size or position corruption [3].

Preserve the source-selector bottom edge during resize.
resizeSourceSelectorWindow compares the window width with the target height, so a 620-wide window at height 700 skips a required resize to 620. When resizing occurs, setSize preserves y; therefore, a 620 → 360 transition moves the bottom edge up by 260 DIP. Compare height and use setBounds to shift y by height - next. This preserves y + height for the 620 → 360 → 620 sequence on platforms that honor programmatic positioning. Wayland owns window placement, so this guarantee does not apply there.
Proposed fix
- const [currentWidth] = win.getSize();
- if (currentWidth === next) return;
- win.setSize(currentWidth, next);
+ const { x, y, width, height } = win.getBounds();
+ if (height === next) return;

Electron BrowserWindow setSize Wayland programmatic resizing official documentation
💡 Result:
According to the official Electron documentation, programmatic window resizing on Wayland (Linux) is subject to significant limitations [1][2]. The Wayland protocol is designed to restrict applications from controlling their own window geometry, positioning, or state—such as focus, blur, or movement—without explicit user interaction [1][2]. Key points regarding setSize and related APIs on Wayland: - General Limitation: Methods like setSize, setContentSize, and setBounds may not function as expected because many Wayland compositors enforce strict policies that prevent applications from changing their own window size programmatically after creation [1][2]. - Recent Improvements: While historical issues prevented reliable resizing, ongoing development in Electron (such as PR #49209 and PR #49835, merged in early 2026) has introduced improvements for consistent window sizing and support for content-sized windows when Client-Side Decorations (CSD) are in use [3][4]. However, these fixes rely on compositor support and do not bypass the fundamental Wayland design constraints mentioned above [4]. - Recommended Workaround: If your application requires programmatic control over window positioning, resizing, or state that is not permitted under native Wayland, the official recommended approach is to run the application using the X11 compatibility layer by appending the command-line flag --ozone-platform=x11 [1][5][6]. For the most reliable behavior in environments that prioritize Wayland-native support, developers should anticipate that window management (including sizing and positioning) is primarily controlled by the user and the compositor, rather than by the application logic itself [5][6][7].

Electron 43.1.0 BrowserWindow setSize Wayland official docs
💡 Result:
In Electron 43.1.0, and throughout the Electron framework on Wayland (Linux), the BrowserWindow method setSize (along with other window manipulation APIs like setPosition, setBounds, and setContentSize) has significant limitations [1][2][3]. It is generally not possible to programmatically resize, move, or position windows after creation on Wayland because many Wayland compositors/window managers restrict these actions for security and architectural reasons [1][4]. Official documentation specifies that because these operations are often prohibited or unsupported by the window manager, calling setSize may not have the expected effect [1][2]. If your application requires the ability to programmatically control window size or position on Linux, the recommended solution is to run the application using Xwayland by launching it with the command-line flag: --ozone-platform=x11 [1][3][4].

Preserve the Wayland fallback height until resize support is confirmed.
The no-popover branch reduces the 620 DIP initial window to the 360 DIP minimum. The later setSize() call may not grow the window on Wayland, so the popover can be clipped. Keep 620 DIP on Wayland until shrink-then-grow behavior is supported.
