[bounty] implement device control and make --use-all-monitors work

Open louis030195 opened this issue 9 months ago • 6 comments

this feature is useful to improve the experience for:

people switching audio device and monitor devices regularly (commuting for work etc.) (e.g. --use-all-monitors argument to always record all monitors for example)
privacy preserving use cases
control resource usage dynamically
other use cases

definition of done:

--use-all-monitors always record all monitor available, and stop recording when it's unplugged
running screenpipe for 3 days, while having meetings, working, etc. and the memory stays under 2.5 gb, and CPU roughly the same (10-30% on my mac book pro m4 max)
/vision/start, /vision/stop, /vision/list

make this work reliably and prove it's not memory leaking
