Taking a screenshot - dreamweaver - 4th Oct, 2016 06:35 PM
I'm running Kodi 16.1 on a Raspberry Pi. I would like to be able to take a screenshot of the Kodi screen
from the CLI (i.e. an SSH session).
With XBMC on OpenELEC I could use the command "xbmc-send.py -a TakeScreenshot".
The same command on XBian silently fails. The script /usr/local/bin/xbmc-send.py exists, this sends the command
to UDP port 9777. I can see that the process kodi.bin is listening on port 9777, but as far as I can tell no screenshot is taken.
Is there a way to take a screenshot (with xbmc-send or otherwise)?
Thanks

Did you have set default screenshot folder in Kodi settings?
If not, you have to add path and filename to the command like this:
Terminal
xbmc-send.py --action="TakeScreenShot(/tmp/myscreenshot.png)"
Just tested it, works like a charm
