System audio capture not working from MacBook speakers with macOS 14.5

[htalvitie]

Have not been able to record system audio at all with screenpipe. Microphone recording works without issues. Running version 0.1.48 on macOS 14.5.

CLI output produces following error early during execution:

[2024-08-03T13:16:58Z INFO  screenpipe_audio::core] device: "MacBook Pro Speakers (output)"
[2024-08-03T13:16:58Z INFO  screenpipe_server::core] Finished record_and_transcribe for device MacBook Pro Speakers (output) (iteration 1)

Above run was produced by executing screenpipe --audio-device "MacBook Pro Speakers (output)".

Have attempted to use BlackHole (as mentioned in #90), but without success.

Wondering, if my issue is the same as described in #70 (comment), i.e. system audio recording not working on macOS 14.4.1?

yes system audio is not implemented yet on macos and windows (should work on linux)

yes its like #70

i think we should use this https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal/pull/894/files

or in general the apple screencapture api (which capture system audio) but didnt have time to dig back in

Ok, thanks for the clarification!

I suggest this fact should be mentioned somewhere - for example on the main Readme.md, where you have a list a functionalities & integrations which are completed (and which are not - yet). Otherwise people might try to troubleshoot the issue and waste time. At least I didn't realize this is not yet even possible.

I'm going to prioritize this feature

@htalvitie this works now
