Reposting here in case someone doesn't read the forums. From: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191231 I'm having trouble running the screen recording feature in gnome. When I press ctrl + alt + shift + r the desktop is not recorded and no file is created. I have installed the following gstreamer packages https://gist.github.com/anonymous/62aa75202f798821ab38. I'm running GNOME Shell 3.14.2 in a fully updated archlinux. Related topic (the solution didn't work for me): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120134 Any ideas on how to fix the issue? -- # Marcos
