FAQ

Q: I can't seem to find any video recording feature. How do I record videos with peekabot?

A: There is no built-in feature to produce videos - you have to use a separate video capturing tool for recording videos. Linux users can use e.g. recordmydesktop or ffmpeg.

Note that when using recordmydesktop, you have to use the --full-shots switch to record 3D applications. If you have problems getting it to work, you may also have to turn off compositing in your window manager, if enabled.

Examples:

    ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 25 -i :0.0 -sameq /tmp/out.mpg

    recordmydesktop --full-shots --no-sound -x 100 -y 100 -width 800 -height 700 -o /tmp/out.ogv

Q: Can I use peekabot in commercial applications?

A: Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: You can, since the peekabot client library is licensed under the permissive Boost Software License. But note that the peekabot server is not! It's licensed under the more restrictive GPL license.
