Session Recording and Management

Dioxamine allows you to record live Scrcpy mirroring sessions (both video and audio) directly onto your host device in MP4 format.

Starting a Recording

There are two ways to record a screen mirroring session:

Start a mirroring session from the Scrcpy tab.
Tap on the video player overlay to reveal player controls.
Tap the Record icon (circular button).
The recording starts immediately, and a red REC timer badge (REC 00:15) appears in the top corner indicating elapsed recording duration.
Tap the Stop Record icon (or stop mirroring) to finish and save the clip.

Navigate to the Settings tab.
Expand the scrcpy settings card.
Toggle on Auto-record sessions (scrcpy_auto_record).
Whenever a screen mirroring session begins, Dioxamine will automatically initiate recording without requiring manual interaction.

All captured sessions are stored locally and accessible through the Recordings sub-tab in the Scrcpy screen:

Tap the Recordings sub-tab in the top bar of the Scrcpy screen.
View your recorded video items with:
- File name and timestamp.
- Total recorded duration.
- File size.
Exporting (Saving) Clips:
- Tap the Export (Download) button on any clip.
- Select a destination folder using Android’s Storage Access Framework (SAF) to save the .mp4 video to your phone’s Gallery, Downloads, or SD card.
Deleting Clips:
- Tap the Delete (Trash) button.
- Confirm deletion in the prompt to remove the recording and free up storage.

Container Format: Video and forwarded audio are muxed into standard .mp4 containers.
Codec Support: Recording uses the active video codec selected in the Configurator (H.264 or H.265/HEVC). If an unsupported codec configuration is used, a warning banner will inform you.
Audio Synchronization: Forwarded device audio (Android 11+) is recorded in sync with the video track.
