[ SOLVED ] Kill a Process ... some help needed

[Just17]

This is the selection screen to choose the source of the recording ....

Hmmm ... I'm curious, Just18 ... you think this could find its way to the repos? Maybe someone could package it up?

It would need the hard work done first    The easy bit is there .....  but it should have more options for things like audio presets or whatever to make it widely useful.

.....  or that is what I think ....

as it is it is a nice simple recorder for my needs ......  something that is sadly missing in KDE .....

Maybe you would like to take it and put a nice 'face' on it? 

I still have not been able to figure out how best to convert stuff like this to 'proper' GUI ...

Let me know if you try recording with it and how it works for you?



Thanks.

I think "simple" works just fine!

Of course I could not let well enough be ....  I had to go at it and make changes ....  apparently just for the sake of it     Maybe because it is too small and I think it deserves to be bigger

echo you can see that version 0.2 of this script is much better with this spaces...

Update:

               For those with an interest I would ask that you consider supporting a package request I made for
PulseCaster

which I have just discovered already existing and it seems to do everything I and most others would want of a recording app.

Package request here

No point in trying to reinvent the wheel ......

Call me biased, but I'd rather have your script, written for PCLinuxOS, than something written by someone else.

Thank you for the vote of confidence Neal, but there is no hope that I would ever develop this wee script to the point of being able to do what PulseCaster does, so I think PulseCaster would be a greater addition to PCLOS.

Of course there is nothing much preventing us from also having a very simple script like the one here in addition to PulseCaster .....  if that is seen as useful.

I am presently tidying it up a little bit which is why I withdrew it from this thread for the moment.

regards.

My opinion is that it would be useful. PulseCaster may be great and do 10 dozen things your script doesn't, but it might be too much for some of us.

I would appreciate it those reading here could check this out to make sure it works on their install.
You do need to have Pulse Audio installed and working properly.

Thanks for any feedback ..  negative and positive.

regards.

Oh yes ....  almost forgot .....  I managed to get a more understandable selection of sources than previously ...

I want to resurrect this thread ........  hope ye don't mind ........  same problem with a slight twist.

I posted my previous solution of killing a process which was running within a Zenity progress window .....  a process of sound recording. The script is on the previous page of this thread.
The relevant part was

Code: [Select]

# Zenity progress wrapper
(
echo
parec -d "$MONITOR" | sox -t raw -r 44.1k -sLb 16 -c 2 - "$SoundFile" &
) |
zenity --window-icon=$ICON --progress --pulsate --title="   $TITLE   " --text $"   
<b>Recording</b>
 Sound is being recorded to $SoundFile file.
                  Press "Cancel" to stop recording." ;

PARECPID=$(pgrep parec); kill $PARECPID
So now instead of recording sound, lets say I want to record video and do something like this ....

Code: [Select]

(
        echo
mencoder tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0 -ovc lavc -ofps 25 -nosound -o ~/Recordings/CamVid.mp4 &
) | zenity --window-icon=$ICON --progress --pulsate --title="   $TITLE   " --text $"   
<b>Recording</b>   

 Your webcam is being recorded to ~/Recordings/CamVid.

                  Press "Cancel"  to stop recording." ;
MENCPID=$(pgrep mencoder); kill $MENCPID

Selecting "Cancel" on the Zenity window has no effect on anything .....  the recording continues as does the zenity progress window.

Can someone explain to me what the difference is and how it is affecting the ending of the Zenity window, and thus the recording?

I am puzzled as to why I cannot kill the Zenity window with the Cancel button.

Thanks.
