About

ShadowCatch is a small desktop app for viewing and listening to a ShadowCast 3 Pro video-capture device — without hand-writing an mpv command every time you want to see the feed.

It opens a single resizable GTK window showing the live capture, defaults to MJPEG 1080p at 60 FPS, and lets you pick the video device, audio source, resolution, frame rate and input format. Your last settings are remembered. Lightweight, native, and built for Linux.

Install

Built for Arch / CachyOS with GTK4, GStreamer and V4L2. Install the toolchain and runtime libraries, then build and run:

# Arch-like systems
sudo pacman -S rust gtk4 gstreamer gst-plugins-base \
  gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugin-gtk4 v4l-utils

# build & run
cargo run
