mirscreencast adb exec-out

[shapley]

Hi All,

Been testing 'mirscreencast' to obtain some nice videos of ubuntu-touch in action but not sure if the video output anything at all..if so...where did it get saved to. Is the footage meant to open in mplayer? Here is the cl output:-

@shapley try replacing | mplayer and everything after it with > screen.avi

Also, please use code tags in the forum

@doniks That doesn't work either. Tried saving it to file like this, also doesn't work.

nc -l -p 1234 | gzip -dc | mencoder -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=60:w=384:h=640:format=rgba -ovc x264 -o out.avi -

@Shohag blast from the past what exactly does "doesn't work" mean? what's the output you get?

@shapley Just tested adb exec-out timeout 120 mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket --stdout --cap-interval 2 -s 384 640 | mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=384:h=640:format=rgba -
And it works.
Same logs as you, so there should be mplayer displayed.

That command does only forward to mplayer reader, not save it. ( You can still use a screen recorder on your PC )

@lduboeuf wow, it even works with ssh thanx

ssh phablet@ip.addr exec 'mirscreencast -m /run/mir_socket --stdout --cap-interval 2 -s  384 640' | mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo w=384:h=640:format=rgba -

Note: use your IP address instead of ip.addr in the command
