Screenshots via Telnet

Postby tommekevda » 07 Dec 2007 17:11

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to take screenshots on command, like ex: via a telnet command?
I have been looking at the telnet commands by typing in help when connected but i can't see a command that does the trick (in the very limited commandlist).
Are all possible commands being displayed?

Kind regards

Hi,

I have tried this but i get a syntax error.

Can you redirect me to the page where you found this command?

this is what i get
> control BC1 stop
> control BC1 play
> control BC1 snapshot
control : Wrong command syntax

also tried
> snapshot
> snapshot BC1
> and other combinations :)
where BC1 is the broadcast i have created.

Kind regards

i don't know vlm at all, i only use this command with rc interface, and normal playing.

I thought telnet & rc were the same :/
