Record videos in the proxy or repeater

[blein]

Hi, I contacted the group to see if anyone has been able to record using the repetitive or some way in which the server interacts with the viewer.


PC LINUX
SERVER ----> middleware --> WINDOWS or other operating system using an applet

Currently I have a client on a PC that will record automatically when starting a remote sampling, which others connect to interact.

VNC Server - >> two viewers. The problem that generates unnecessary traffic and slow connections can be seen.


Plz help.

Not possible.
The repeater just recv/send data. The encryption is between server and viewer -> repeater can't see the unencrypted data.
The proxy should also just retransmit the data without actual reading it. Else the whole stream would become unsecure as
the proxy/repeater could see what's happening.

You can activate the video logging on the server.
This log the viewer session in a avi video.

Hi,

@Rudy: Could you precise how to active video loggin on the server ?

Is it possible to implement video recording via a plugin or additional components during a VNC session between a server and a viewer connected via a repeater for these 2 different cases:
1. video to be saved in video format for later use if needed (as use for security video camera)
2. video to be watched live at the same time by a 3rd person (like monitoring administrator)

ould you precise how to active video loggin on the server ? Special build needed, is not default enabled during compilation.

How it works, vnc capture the screen in a buffer for sending it to the viewer.
Simultanious the same buffer is used by an avi encoder and save it do disk.

The goal was to be able to record what someone did remote on the pc.

Never got feedback, not proper tested -> default disabled during build.
