How to grab the onscreen picture?

Hi

I want to I want to take screenshots with my DM7025. The dreambox-dvb-tools-1.0 package has a program called grabpic. It tries to open the /dev/video file but it doesn't exist on the DM7025. I compared showimage version 1 with v3 (the one for DM7025) and it has several differences. Can someone give me some hints on how I can port grabpic to the DM7025, or tell me another method to do a screenshot?

Hi!.

Well i use this file fbshot, to make OSD pictures. Its made by a guy called Seddi and works fine. This maybe can give you clue

.

Copy the binary file to usr/bin/ and then write this in a telnet window:

fbshot /tmp/testbild.png

Then you find the picture in /tmp/.

Gaj1 has attached the following image:

Thanks for this binary. When I try to grab a picture with it, I get a nearly transparent picture without background video. Is there a way to capture video as well as menus?

No, it's technically impossible to get both at the same time.

Did you receive a clean picture? I tried it with

root@dm7025:/media/hdd# fbshot -d /dev/fb/0 test.png
Framebuffer /dev/fb/0 is 1658880 bytes.
Grabbing 720x576 ...
done.
Writing test.png ...done.

but the the On Screen Menu is only visible in the background behind some transparent grey blocks.
