I'm now higly confused :-( ----- Forwarded message from Daniel van Vugt <[email protected]> ----- Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2015 08:10:31 -0000 From: Daniel van Vugt <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: [Bug 1439549] Re: [enhancement] mirscreencast only creates a still picture, not a movie Correct. I think it's only designed to capture frames as separate image files right now. To play them as a video is possible, but awkward.

The command # mirscreencast -m /var/run/mir_socket --cap-interval 10 -s 270 480 600 produces a file # ls -l /tmp/mir* -rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 62726400 Apr 2 09:00 /tmp/mir_screencast_270x480_6.657Hz.rgba and moving the file with SCP to another host and playing it with $ mplayer -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=6:w=270:h=480:format=rgba mir_screencast_270x480_6.657Hz.rgba gives only a still picture while mplayer is counting the frames correctly. I checkd it with putting the clock app on the phone, the picture is from the start of the grabbing.
