Niri Plus / Earlier recordings

Earlier desktop recordings

These staged Arch recordings retain their original resolutions, source pins, capture dates and media bytes. The archive retains twelve earlier videos, including superseded 800p takes and the earlier 1080p recordings. Return to the current desktop overview.

Previous homepage captures with the split dashboard

These two 2026-10-31 native 800p recordings retain components 0.4.1 and SwayNC15. They show the previous split status boxes; the current Tour uses the unified translucent sidebar. Their source pins, dates, receipts and media bytes are unchanged.

Processing notes:

  • Continuous wf-recorder capture of the native 1920x1080 output at scale 1, targeting 30 fps with libx264. Public MP4 bytes equal the raw guest capture; no cuts, overlays, compositing, time stretching or reused footage.
  • Native keyboard and pointer actions operate real applications. The 252-byte Markdown download opens in Nvim through Dolphin, then the GTK chooser selects the same file and the local fixture confirms matching upload bytes. Sharing buttons are not activated.
  • Silent H.264 High/yuv420p. TV range was requested and the encoder log reports yuv420p(tv), but ffprobe has no explicit color_range field; no conversion was applied afterward.
  • Measured duration 82.433333 seconds; average frame-rate field 74220/2473, nominal cadence 30/1. Full ffmpeg decode passes with 2473 decoded frames; the container reports 2474 frames. Decoded frames divided by container duration is 30.0 per second.
  • Decoded scene frames were reviewed at their encoded timestamps. A whole-frame blackdetect check found no interval of at least 0.20 seconds with at least 99.9% of pixels below the 10% luma threshold.
  • Poster is a separate unedited native pre-take rehearsal PNG. The temporary 1920x1080 Kanshi profile is restored byte-for-byte to the original 1280x800 profile; audio remains output 40%, input 100%, both unmuted.
  • SSH Plus, Tmux Plus and Agent Plus are absent from this guest. The optional insert is deferred rather than adding authentication or remote infrastructure for the recording.

Processing notes:

  • Composite of the entire browser/files capture, terminal seconds 3 through 15, and the entire information capture, in that order with hard cuts.
  • Source captures are identified by path, SHA-256 and trim range; no single raw source capture exists for this composite.
  • Re-encoded as constant 30 fps H.264 using libx264 CRF 18, yuv420p limited/video range and fast-start MP4 metadata.
  • Silent; no burn-in, retouching or composited telemetry. Full video decode passed.
  • Poster is the unedited 4-second frame from the SwayNC information capture.

Browser and files

The guest downloads a public Markdown sample and SVG, opens them through Dolphin using Neovim and Gwenview, then selects the Markdown file in Chrome's native GTK chooser. The local sample page reports the returned bytes and hash.

Staged Arch Linux x86_64 guest

Browser and files

Chrome downloads a public sample; Dolphin opens it and an SVG; the native GTK chooser returns the original file to the upload sample page.

Sample content and guest readings: Public Markdown and SVG samples; no account data.

26.7 seconds · 1920×1080 · Captured 2026-10-28 · Components 0.3.1

  1. Download the public Markdown sample and SVG in Chrome.
  2. Open the Markdown file through Dolphin with the guest Neovim default, and open the SVG in Gwenview.
  3. Choose the original Markdown sample in Chrome's GTK file chooser and verify the returned bytes.

Terminal and browser

This is the exact-byte reused pilot: a local Chrome sample page beside Kitty and Zsh, a guest-guarded sample check and keyboard navigation. It was not recaptured during the later full desktop demonstration.

Kitty and Zsh beside a browser

The exact-byte reused pilot capture keeps a local Chrome sample page beside Kitty while Zsh runs a guest-guarded sample check.

Sample content and guest readings: Public local sample content; actual staged guest software and shell output.

24.5 seconds · 1920×1080 · Captured 2026-10-27 · Components 0.3.1

  1. Keep the local sample page and Kitty project side by side.
  2. Move focus between Niri columns, then run the guest-guarded check in Zsh.
  3. Scroll the local page with Page Down and Page Up, then return focus to Kitty.

Captured 2026-10-27 · exact-byte reused pilot scene. Silent H.264/yuv420p, 1920×1080, 735 decoded frames at 11025/367 fps.

Output SHA-256: b6c3c63e3d60b0fe079d8d3a74f0f8a038813c16fa27453838c77cb1f43aa240. Poster SHA-256: 3d8c156294659affa640589dd974e7057257c2515ffca9fe1e80ddc77a57c1bb.

Reuse reason: Reused because Niri 26.04, Chrome 156.0.8078.47, Kitty 0.49.2, Zsh 5.9.2, components 0.3.1 and the selected Neutral Slate identity remain unchanged; the clip remains a focused terminal/browser view.

  • Raw source capture SHA-256: b6c3c63e3d60b0fe079d8d3a74f0f8a038813c16fa27453838c77cb1f43aa240.

Processing notes:

  • Exact-byte reuse of the accepted 2026-10-27 staged Arch pilot terminal/browser scene; this is not a fresh capture from the later desktop demonstration.
  • Source capture SHA-256: b6c3c63e3d60b0fe079d8d3a74f0f8a038813c16fa27453838c77cb1f43aa240. The public MP4 is byte-identical to the pilot capture.
  • The MP4 and poster were copied without re-encoding, cropping, subtitle burn-in or frame editing.
  • Silent 1920x1080 H.264/yuv420p; 735 frames at average rate 11025/367 fps; full FFmpeg decode passed.
  • Targeted terminal-black check matched the still and decoded video at pixel (1440, 810), RGB (0, 0, 0); this is not full color calibration.
