FFMPEG recorder not working at all.

[huzaifaAhmedTestlio]

Can someone please verify if they have used FFMPEG recorder recently? Tests are running properly but not able to see any videos 😢

Please help

Can see logs

INFO com.automation.remarks.video.recorder.ffmpeg.FFMpegRecorder - Trying to execute the following command: [ffmpeg, -y, -video_size, 1440x900, -f, avfoundation, -i, 1, -an, -framerate, 30, -pix_fmt, yuv420p, /Users/huzaifaahmed/Downloads/Work/video/temporary_recording_2022_31_10_19_56_11.mp4, -vsync, 2]

If I run this command in terminal I can verify the fffmepg starts properly and starts recording. But not sure what happens with Java

@huzaifaAhmedTestlio I experience the same problem.
But I think Sergei cannot fix this issue soon because he is sitting somewhere in Kyiv under bombing with constant electricity outages.

You would better fix this issue and submit a pull request.
It's open source, your contribution is welcome! ;)

@huzaifaAhmedTestlio My problem was a bit silly...
but maybe this will help.
My problem was that when I run tests in TFS there were videos but we see only a black screen.
The problem was that the lock screen was active.
Check if the lock screen is enabled on your computers...

@gadlo323 Good to know, thank you for sharing.
But no, on MacOS, I am always getting blank video even on my own machine without screen lock.
