"""Video from the headset: recordings of what it shows, with its sound, and Steam's own clips.
Two halves share this file.
On the computer, server.py builds the shell commands below, runs them over SSH and
copies the finished .mp4 to ~/Videos/SteamFrame (Recorder does a recording from Start
to the copy; export_clip does a Steam clip). Nothing here needs ffmpeg on the computer.
On the Frame, this file runs as `python3 - list` or `python3 - export ID` (sent on
stdin, like frame_steam.py, so stdlib only): it lists Steam's game recordings and
stitches one into a single .mp4 with SteamOS's ffmpeg, copying the streams as they are.
It prints one JSON object, or {"error": ...}.
Steam's game recording keeps DASH segments, one folder per recording session:
~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<account>/gamerecordings/
video/bg_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/ background recording
clips/clip_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/video/bg_<appid>_<...>/ a saved clip
session.mpd
init-stream0.m4s chunk-stream0-00001.m4s chunk-stream0-00002.m4s ...
init-stream1.m4s chunk-stream1-00001.m4s ...
Each stream's init segment followed by its chunks, in order, is a fragmented MP4 of
that stream. The folder names are as users and Steam's own files describe them; the
listing doesn't depend on them: any folder under clips/ or video/ (up to four levels)
holding init-stream*.m4s counts as a session.
