Capture video stream from the emulator window during test and store as artifact

      Hi!

      It would be great to be able to replay the video captured during the running of the test.

          [JENKINS-10024] Capture video stream from the emulator window during test and store as artifact

          Yeah, that's a nice idea. At least if you're doing instrumentation tests.

          I have seen this done already with vnc2flv. Normally I run my emulators inside Xvnc (as described on the wiki), so you could capture the VNC output directly.
          http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/vnc2flv/

          However, it would be nicer to capture only the actual emulator screen, rather than an entire Xvnc desktop.
          I have vaguely noticed that the Android emulator/qemu itself has some sort of in-built VNC support, so maybe it is possible.

          Do you have any further info about how this could be implemented?

          Just a thought.. maybe it would be nicer overall for Jenkins to add automated "vnc2flv" support directly to the Xvnc plugin.

          I have not looked at any solutions yet. I agree it would be best if only the emulator window is captured.

          Take a look at VncRecorder Plugin, it uses vnc2swf and stores video file as an artifact:
