[SalimF]

Hi first thanks for this great script , second I had issue the script couldnt recocgnize the right Desiplay name anyway I use this fixed value to solve my issue -i :0.0+$X,$Y

  ffmpeg -f x11grab -s "$W"x"$H" -framerate 60  -thread_queue_size 512  -i  :0.0+$X,$Y  \

I hope this helps someone else , and if you have issue with the new parameters , use this command to get your display number
ps -u $(id -u) -o pid= | xargs -I PID -r cat /proc/PID/environ 2> /dev/null | tr '\0' '\n' | grep ^DISPLAY=: | sort -u

@SalimF I think that's when not using XORG so there's no $DISPLAY

I made a PR to fix it :) #3

You can try the code here: https://github.com/SPDUK/screen-recorder-script/blob/3d96d5c90c8309d36a867888a48b262b8fe16422/recorder.sh

Let me know if it fixes it (works on my machine) and then I can merge it
