Same here.. When opening this app comes with error "your Android version not supported".

Device environment:
OnePlus 5
Oreo 8.1 (Open Bera 08)

Will this record Netflix videos?

It should record anything comes-up on the screen. Unfortunarely doesn't work with Oreo 8.1.

Will this record Netflix videos?
Depends on which recording method you choose - root (Android 4 and up) should work but the android 5+ engine will block the app due to the DRM protected content in netflix.
Maybe even the root method will fail.
I don´t know and can´t test it since i don´t have a device which is still running such old things like android 6

SCR Screen Recorder is a good app to record activity on Android. In fact, there are more and more built-in screen recorders for our phones nowadays, just like iPhone, HUAWEI, etc. Meanwhile, recording desktop video as well as audio on-screen activity is also highly sought after. Some screen recording tools for Mac and Windows, like OBS, Bandicam, Wondershare, etc. are popular.

It´s an app that hasn´t got a good succeeder.
Screen recorder for mac and windows does not help in this point.
The built in audio recording and even mixing with the microphone is unique and no other app except RecMe does support it but to be honest, RecMe isn´t really great.
While recording, you will hear nothing with build in audio recording.
Also many values like changing resolution, bitrate and so on are not supported.

Please update the app to support newer android versions, there is nothing that matches scr's capabilities.

Make it open source if you have abandoned this

Official SCR Screen Recorder thread
Check out SCR Screen Recorder, the Android most comprehensive screencast recording app.
SCR Screen Recorder supports all Android versions since 4.0 and utilizes the best encoding method available on each platform. Since the first release in early 2013 SCR Screen Recorder is frequently updated and new features are added regularly.

Unique features:
• SYSTEM AUDIO (requires root) - On most devices you can directly record in-game audio without quality loss caused by microphone recording speakers output. The "Internal + Mic" option allows to add a microphone commentary to the system audio recording. At the moment this feature is not available on Android 4.2 but it'll be added soon.

• FACE CAM - Share your emotions by adding a front-facing camera to your video. You can move the camera overlay around so that it doesn't obstruct important controls.

• NO ADS - Unlike other "free" screen recorders SCR never display any ads. Development of all my apps is supported only by donations.

• SETTINGS - No mater if you prefer to select simple presets or manually tweak every setting we've got you covered. SCR supports many customizations and provides performance and stability stats.

• ALPHA FEATURES - Let us know what's important to you in this thread or by joining SCR Alpha Testing Google+ community at http://goo.gl/PGYZ8r

SCR Screen Recorder uses various hacks and unofficial APIs which may not work on some devices and ROMs. If you encounter any issues try experimenting with different settings. In case that doesn't help select "Send bug report" from SCR Settings menu or ask for help in this thread. Note that some devices simply don't support certain encoding options so it doesn't make sense to complain that GPU+ image transformation doesn't work if GPU transformation works fine.

Google Play ban and "Dangerous app" warning
SCR Pro got recently banned on Google Play and my developer account got terminated.
This is probably caused by the recent Google Play raid on apps switching SELinux to permissive mode. Unfortunately they haven't sent me the warning so I haven't got a chance to remove this feature. See SELinux section below for more details.

Free SCR Pro for everyone!
I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already paid for the app, so I decided to release SCR Pro for free!
You can grab the APK below and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before, so that I continue development of this app.
SCR Screen Recorder Pro v1.0.5
SCR 5+ Pro v0.1.3 (no root, NO INTERNAL AUDIO, requires Lollipop)


In case you don't know how much to donate, the previous price of this app was $5 :)

SELinux details
SCR Root switches SELinux to Permissive mode when it's running and restores it to the initial value after it's turned off. On most KK+ devices some SCR features won't work without disabling SELinux. Mainly the internal audio recording. If you'd prefer to try using SCR in SELinux enforcing mode let me know (state your Android version and why you need SELinux enabled during recording) and I may make this and option in SCR Settings.

FAQ
I’m getting error message when I start recording, what should I do?
Try changing the resolution or switching between CPU/GPU image transformation mode. Some devices don’t support all settings combinations. If you can’t get any settings to work please tap “Report” button on error dialog and send a full report email including system log.

The recording works fine except the strange colours
Select “Inverted color fix” in SCR Settings.

Video contains some random colors instead of my screen
This is caused by device video encoder crash. It usually can be fixed by changing Resolution.

The video is sideways, how do I rotate it?
Just like default Android Camera app SCR checks the screen orientation when the recording is started and adds orientation metadata to the video file. Some video players (e.g. VLC) ignore orientation metadata and always display video horizontally. YouTube and default android video player can detect orientation metadata correctly and play vertical videos. If you want a video to use vertical frames instead of rotation metadata select "Show advanced" in SCR Settings menu and then select "Vertical frames". Note that hardware video encoders and video players on many devices don't support vertical frames especially on high resolutions.

My phone gets really laggy when I start recording
Phones hardware is not designed to record HD video and play 3D games at the same time so I have to push the limits. There is always going to be some slowdown. You can reduce a lag by reducing resolution and frame rate. Lower frame rate and lower resolution means that your phone needs less power for video encoding and has more spare resources to run other apps and games. If you’r running Android 4.3 try GPU+ image transformation mode which is much faster on some devices.

Guys I have a problem. I'm running Android 8.1 on my Op5 and the app says it's not available for my version yet. Pls help me I really need this app.

    Marshmallow support added

    I just released a small update adding Android 6.0 support.
    Sorry for the delay, I have very little time to work on this project lately.
    As I smashed my Nexus 6 I couldn't test it on any official Marshmallow ROM.
    I tested it on Nexus 4 Frank ROM and everything worked OK including internal audio.
    13
    So what are the benefits of this over screencast?
    There are quire a few benefits of SCR over Screencast:
    1. SCR supports Tegra devices
    2. it works on Jelly Bean
    3. on many devices it's much faster (e.g. on Nexus 4 you can record 720p@40fps with minimal CPU ussage)
    4. SCR UI uses an floating window displayed ontop other apps so that you can start recording without capturing recorder UI
    5. it's in active development i.e. I keep adding new features and fixing bugs

    SCR Pro is now FREE for everyone!

    After considering different ways to republish my app (Amazon App Store/new Google Play account/FDroid etc.) I decided to publish this app for free and hope that at least some of you will support my effort by donations :)
    I don't want to charge anyone twice for the same app and no publishing method allows for migration of thousands users who already purchased the app.
    You can grab the APK from this thread and enjoy all the features of the latest release of SCR Pro on Google Play. No time limits, watermarks etc. Simply full-featured best Android screen recorder for free!
    Unfortunately automatic updates won't work with sideloaded APKs but I'm going add update notifications directly to SCR in the future.

    Please consider donating to me, especially if you haven't purchased SCR Pro before!

    I see. Is the app open source at least?
    I'm thinking of opensourcing it but I doubt if anyone will continue work on this project.
    Building SCR requires 1TB of free disk space and around 4 days of compiling.

    It would make more sense to opensource the audio driver only but it would require quite a bit of additional work to write a stand-alone installer. I'll look into it when I have some free time.
