[Plugin] ScreenGrabber E2 Plugin

**master G** · Nov 1st 2011

enigma2-extensions-screengrabber_1.0_mipsel

The object of the plugin to take instant screenshot for osd,video or both from simple remote control button click
Limited trails for coding enigma2 screenshot plugins done previously and mainly i found two one called standbild by valis and contains basic code for grabbing and the other one called screenshot(unknown auther) but both are incomplete
so i have tried my effort to make complete screenshot plugin with the following features
-take screenshot for osd,video or both and the action can be assigned simply from setup interface
-also the user can change the assigned remote control button to take screenshot
-The screenshot storing folder also can be changed from setup
-Complete management of taken screenshots images(preview and delete)

Installation:
from the attached ipk file as any ipk file
or from TSpanel servers

I just cleaned it up a little, or if it works, on PLI 9.x it does the screen.. but I still haven't seen the l files. Maybe it works on other imgs.. ...

Too bad we didn't update it..

dragosh82 · Sep 8th 2024

Now after pressing the button I set, I see a black screen with the menu "ok=save Exit=play TV Greeen=setup Yellow= files" and below this "Please wait...."

After pressing OK I get the message "Screenshot saved to /hdd/screenshots/channelname-date-time.jpg" but no file there.

Maybe the complete path should be "media/hdd/...." ?

Tried to change what to grab, storing folder, resolution, format, jpg compression, but the folder remains empty no matter what.

new OpenATV images do not include /usr/bin/grab at all, that it is why the plugin is not doing any snapshots at all

sometimes the error messages in try: except: could be irritating, try to compile without it, it could be space in the file names, try this one for testing, the code is similar, it is without config, the snapshots are saved in /tmp and the hotkey is subtitle (you can still use subtitle for choosing subtitles ), I tested the code on my mipsel box using ATV 7.3 and had no errors regarding py3, there was no grab in /usr/bin and I can´t remember deleting it, on PLi 8.3 all O.K.

ok

here 2.7 version atv 7.4 work fine

add feature ;)

I haven't forgotten this plugin

In memory of mfaraj57

dragosh82 · Sep 16th 2024

Thank you!

It also works on OpenatV 7.5 but you can't view the files with yellow button, there is nothing there but a black window positioned out of screen.

Is the feature that screen remains frozen untill another key is pressed on the remote ?

**Lululla** · Sep 16th 2024

yes I have to make some fixes, in the next one, this is definitely a trial version.

After pressing the button (long green) press OK or ESC,

If the screenshot was successful you will find it with the yellow button, but you have to set the path in the config.

mrvica · Sep 16th 2024

beside grab AVSwitch could be a problem on ATV, I think they use now AVControl
