fix(export): avoid DXVA decode in Windows GPU compositor to stop looping exports on AMD - #1172
Passes --prefer-high-performance-adapter to recordly-gpu-export.exe in buildExperimentalWindowsGpuStaticLayoutArgs (electron/ipc/export/native-video.ts). With that flag the native compositor uses the non-DXVA Media Foundation source reader (MF_SOURCE_READER_DISABLE_DXVA) and selects the high-performance adapter (see electron/native/gpu-export-probe/src/main.cpp).
Also included:
a unit test asserting the flag is passed (native-video.test.ts, 77/77 passing)
scripts/windows-export-workaround/ (asar patch scripts + README) for users on already-installed builds. This folder is optional and can be dropped from the PR if maintainers prefer to keep only the source fix and test.
Motivation
On Windows with an AMD GPU, static-layout exports through recordly-gpu-export.exe loop earlier footage instead of advancing. Disabling DXVA decode in the compositor via this flag fixes it.
A separate issue on the same machine, the auto backend's WebGPU/D3D12 hang (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, 0x887A0006), is worked around in the optional script by forcing the Breeze backend; it is not changed in source here.

Screenshots / Video
N/A (export output fix, no UI change).
Testing Guide
Reporter-tested and confirmed: I (the reporter) tested and confirmed the fix on Windows / Recordly 1.4.0 / Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U with integrated Radeon graphics, using an equivalent app.asar patch that adds the same flag to the compositor args. Re-exported footage no longer loops.
Unit test: npx vitest run electron/ipc/export/native-video.test.ts
Manual: on an affected Windows/AMD machine, export an MP4 with the Breeze/native static-layout path and confirm the output plays through without repeating earlier footage.
Checklist
I have performed a self-review of my code.
I have added any necessary screenshots or videos.
I have linked related issue(s) and updated the changelog if applicable.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Updates
Windows GPU exports now request the high-performance graphics adapter.
Documentation
Added guidance for checking, applying, and reverting Windows export adjustments in installed builds.
The guidance covers supported installation paths and notes that adjustments may need to be reapplied after updates.
…ing exports on AMD
Pass --prefer-high-performance-adapter to recordly-gpu-export.exe so the
static-layout export decodes via the non-DXVA Media Foundation source reader.
On an affected AMD GPU the DXVA path made exported video loop earlier footage.
Also add scripts/windows-export-workaround/ for users on installed builds.
The Windows GPU exporter now includes --prefer-high-performance-adapter. The PR also adds ASAR inspection and patching tools, plus PowerShell scripts to apply, verify, and revert installed-build patches.
Changes: Windows GPU Export and Installed-Build Patching
The Windows GPU exporter adds --prefer-high-performance-adapter. A test checks that the generated compositor arguments include it.
ASAR reading and repacking scripts/windows-export-workaround/asar-pack.js
The helper reads packed and unpacked archive entries, repacks packed data, retains the original header padding length, and computes entry digests and patch-anchor locations.
Archive inspection and patch operations scripts/windows-export-workaround/asar-pack.js
The helper adds info, identity, probe, autopatch, and verify modes for inspecting archive structure, classifying patch state, applying anchored substitutions, and comparing archive entries.
The script configures the auto-to-breeze substitution and provides status, apply, and revert operations with archive verification and backups.
Two-patch lifecycle and instructions scripts/windows-export-workaround/recordly-export-patch-v2.ps1, scripts/windows-export-workaround/README.md
The v2 script configures the backend substitution and the GPU compositor argument substitution. It provides status, apply, and revert operations. The README documents both scripts, their requirements, and usage.

Correct the claim that the source fix replaces both patches.
The source change adds only --prefer-high-performance-adapter. This replaces the gpu-compositor-no-looping patch. The export-backend patch (forcing Breeze to avoid DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG) is not in the source change, according to the PR description. After the source fix ships, users who hit the hang still need that patch.
Say that the source fix replaces only the compositor-looping patch.

Restore the backup if the copy into app.asar fails.
$ErrorActionPreference is Stop. If Copy-Item $staged $Asar -Force fails part way (disk full, antivirus lock, sharing violation), the script throws immediately. The restore code on Lines 230-233 does not run. app.asar can then stay truncated, and Recordly will not start. The user must find the backup and run -Mode revert manually.
Wrap the overwrite in try/catch and restore the backup in the catch block.

Bind revert to the archive produced by the latest apply.
An Applied probe only checks content anchors. An updated archive that already contains both patched anchors also reports Applied, even when it did not produce the selected backup. Sorting by Name changes order only. It does not establish the backup's identity.
Record the backup name, original hash, and patched hash during -Mode apply. During -Mode revert, restore only when the current archive hash matches the recorded patched hash and the selected backup matches the recorded original hash. Otherwise, refuse the restore. This also handles a v1-then-v2 sequence because v2 records the v1 archive that it actually replaced.

Restore the backup if any step after the Copy-Item fails.

Tie revert to the patched archive identity.
Invoke-Revert selects a backup by LastWriteTime and copies it over app.asar without checking that the current archive belongs to the same patched build. An intervening update or unrelated archive can therefore be replaced with an older backup.
Persist the patched archive hash and its backup hash during Invoke-Apply. During Invoke-Revert, restore only the backup whose metadata matches the current archive hash, then verify the restored hash. A probe guard is useful but cannot establish that the selected backup belongs to the current build.
The proposed guard must also reject unknown states:

Update Invoke-Apply to persist the patched archive hash and corresponding backup
hash as backup metadata. In Invoke-Revert, select only the backup whose metadata
matches the current app.asar hash, refuse to restore when no matching backup
exists, and verify the restored archive hash afterward; do not rely on
LastWriteTime or a probe guard to establish backup identity.

Description
Passes
--prefer-high-performance-adaptertorecordly-gpu-export.exeinbuildExperimentalWindowsGpuStaticLayoutArgs(electron/ipc/export/native-video.ts). With that flag the native compositor uses the non-DXVA Media Foundation source reader (MF_SOURCE_READER_DISABLE_DXVA) and selects the high-performance adapter (seeelectron/native/gpu-export-probe/src/main.cpp).Also included:
native-video.test.ts, 77/77 passing)scripts/windows-export-workaround/(asar patch scripts + README) for users on already-installed builds. This folder is optional and can be dropped from the PR if maintainers prefer to keep only the source fix and test.Motivation
On Windows with an AMD GPU, static-layout exports through
recordly-gpu-export.exeloop earlier footage instead of advancing. Disabling DXVA decode in the compositor via this flag fixes it.A separate issue on the same machine, the
autobackend's WebGPU/D3D12 hang (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, 0x887A0006), is worked around in the optional script by forcing the Breeze backend; it is not changed in source here.Type of Change
