## Requirements

-   Python 3.11 or greater
-   [OBS Studio 28+][obs-studio]

## Installation

*with uv*

```console
uv tool install simple-recorder
```

*with pipx*

```console
pipx install simple-recorder
```

*with pyz*

An executable pyz has been included in [Release](https://github.com/onyx-and-iris/simple-recorder/releases) which you can run in Windows. Follow the steps in this [Setting up Windows for Zipapps](https://jhermann.github.io/blog/python/deployment/2020/02/29/python_zippapps_on_windows.html#Setting-Up-Windows-10-for-Zipapps) guide.

## Configuration

Pass --host, --port and --password as flags on the root command:

```console
simple-recorder --host=localhost --port=4455 --password=<websocket password> --help
```

Or load them from your environment:

```env
OBS_HOST=localhost
OBS_PORT=4455
OBS_PASSWORD=<websocket password>
```

## Use

Without passing a subcommand (start/stop) a GUI will be launched, otherwise a CLI will be launched.

### GUI

Just enter the filename and click *Start Recording*.
