screen_record_plus 1.1.0

Native screen recording with coordinate-based capture for Android and iOS.

1.1.0

Features

• Video Cropping: Implemented FFmpeg-based video cropping for region-specific recording
  • Re-added ffmpeg_kit_flutter dependency for post-processing
  • Videos are now automatically cropped to recordingRect after recording
  • Full screen is recorded, then cropped to specified region during export
• Widget-based Recording: Added ScreenRecorderController.getWidgetRect() helper method to easily record specific widgets
  • Use GlobalKey to get widget position and size on screen
  • Automatically converts widget boundaries to recording coordinates
  • See new WidgetRecordingExample in example app
• Documentation: Updated README and API documentation with widget recording examples
• Example: Added new widget recording example demonstrating how to capture specific UI components

Technical Details

• Recording workflow: Record full screen → Export → Crop to region (if specified) → Return cropped video
• FFmpeg is used only for post-processing (cropping), not for recording
• Package size will increase due to FFmpeg dependency (~100MB)

1.0.2

Features

• Widget-based Recording: Added ScreenRecorderController.getWidgetRect() helper method to easily record specific widgets
  • Use GlobalKey to get widget position and size on screen
  • Automatically converts widget boundaries to recording coordinates
  • See new WidgetRecordingExample in example app
• Documentation: Updated README and API documentation with widget recording examples
• Example: Added new widget recording example demonstrating how to capture specific UI components

1.0.1

Bug Fixes

• iOS: Fixed video duration issue where recordings of a few seconds were exported as 35+ minute videos
  • Root cause: AVAssetWriter was starting session at .zero timestamp, but ReplayKit sample buffers use system uptime timestamps
  • Solution: Now starts the session using the timestamp from the first sample buffer for accurate duration calculation
  • This fix only affects iOS; Android implementation was not affected

1.0.0 BREAKING CHANGES

Major refactoring to native-only implementation

Breaking Changes

• REMOVED: Widget-based recording mode (RecordingMode.widget)
• REMOVED: ScreenRecorder widget (RepaintBoundary-based recording)
• REMOVED: FFmpeg dependency (ffmpeg_kit_flutter)
• REMOVED: Dependencies: bitmap, image, intl
• REMOVED: pixelRatio parameter from ScreenRecorderController
• REMOVED: skipFramesBetweenCaptures parameter from ScreenRecorderController
• REMOVED: recordingMode parameter from ScreenRecorderController
• REMOVED: RecordingMode enum
• REMOVED: Frame class
• REMOVED: Widget-based frame capture functionality

What's Changed

• Simplified API - only native screen recording is now supported
• Reduced package size by removing FFmpeg (~100MB reduction)
• Better performance using native platform APIs
• Cleaner, more maintainable codebase

Migration Guide

Before (v0.x):

final controller = ScreenRecorderController(
  recordingMode: RecordingMode.native,  // No longer needed
  pixelRatio: 3.0,                       // Removed
  skipFramesBetweenCaptures: 0,          // Removed
  recordingRect: Rect.fromLTWH(100, 100, 400, 400),
);

After (v1.0.0):

final controller = ScreenRecorderController(
  recordingRect: Rect.fromLTWH(100, 100, 400, 400),  // Only parameter
);

Requirements

• Android: Minimum API 21 (Lollipop)
• iOS: Minimum iOS 11.0
