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. See:

Title:
  [enhancement] mirscreencast only creates a still picture, not a movie

Status in Mir:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is on the Ubuntu phone BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, OS Ubuntu
  14.10 (r20).

  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.
