Vice 2.14.2

Bug fixes. Nothing to do after updating.

Vice has moved to splitshotz

The GitHub account behind Vice is now splitshotz, so the project lives at github.com/splitshotz/Vice and the site at splitshotz.github.io/Vice-Website. Vice's update check, the AUR package and the install commands all point there now. Older versions keep finding updates through GitHub's redirect, but update when you can, since that redirect only lasts until someone else takes the old name.

$n keeps counting in custom clip names (#243)

A clip name template with $time or $date in it, like clip_$n_$game_$date_$time, started $n again at 1 every minute, so a session ended up full of clip_1 files. The count now carries on across minutes, days and games. Thanks to evez0 for the report, which pointed straight at the cause.

The CPU fallback says why on older NVIDIA cards (#247)

With FFmpeg 9, NVENC needs NVIDIA driver 610 or newer, and the 580 driver is the last one for Maxwell cards like the GTX 970. Vice correctly fell back to recording on the CPU, but the banner said a reboot would fix it and that it would go away on its own. When gpu-screen-recorder reports that mismatch, the banner now says what's actually wrong. Thanks to kevinalavik for the report and the vulkaninfo output.

Renaming a clip while trimming it no longer leaves a ghost (#246)

Saving a trim and renaming the clip in the same dialog could put a broken copy of the old name back in the gallery, because Vice was still reading the trimmed file under its old name when the rename landed. Thanks to thebrightspark for the report.

The installer survives a distro upgrade (#236)

After an upgrade, a gpu-screen-recorder that install.sh built from source can lose the FFmpeg it was built against. The installer then stopped without a word right after the kdotool warning. It now rebuilds gpu-screen-recorder and carries on. Thanks to EnderLord12 for the report and for confirming the fix.

Install: yay -Syu vice-clipper, then open Vice. For install.sh, clone it again and run it.
