Can you point me at an ffmpeg example? I'll see if it's easy to expose the
API.

Cool. I'll give it a look. If not this weekend then Monday.

@mikeboers thanks for your quick response. I'll be waiting

[mikeboers]

I'm trying to tie this into what I'm naturally doing on this project for my day job. It is taking some time to get a reasonable linux build working here due to the particulars of our software deployment (and I personally tend to run on OS X which doesn't seem to have many avdevices that I can easily test).

I think that this should be relatively straight forward (once I get a test environment up). =]

[mikeboers]

You might actually be able to do this (with the devices branch) via av.open(':0.0', format='x11grab').

[mikeboers]

This should now be doable. Let me know!

Hi, can we get an example? I got as far as typing av.open(':0.0', format='x11grab').
