Screenshots are black - jstnnyms - 2013-04-19

Hi,

ive set up the screenshot feature on my harmony. everything works fine when i take a screenshot of the interface. as soon as i take a screenshot during the playback of a movie it ends up being black!

what am i doing wrong?

best regards...

best answer you will get based on the information you provide.

Sorry, that was stupid.

Im Running xbmc 12.0 on the latest raspbmc.
The Screenshot Option is mapped on the harmony Remote as "Screenshot"

okay, rpi. then it's probably not too hard to explain it. the rpi renders to an overlay, so it's never actually in the backbuffer. so we have no way to grab it, it goes directly from hw decoder to video/hdmi/etc encoder.

Thats a Bad Outlook.

Thanks for your reply though Smile
