can't record docker selenium with ffmpeg and ubuntu 18
I have a script that starts a selenium/standalone-chrome container, starts recording with ffmpeg, and runs the selenium tests. However, it is not working with ubuntu 18, possibly because of the ffmpeg version (3.4.4 instead of 2.8.15).
I have broken down the problem into a couple commands which work fine in ubuntu 16 but not ubuntu 18:
start selenium container in terminal #1
docker run --network=host --shm-size=2g -e SCREEN_WIDTH=1920 -e SCREEN_HEIGHT=1080 selenium/standalone-chrome:3.141.59-antimony
start recording in terminal #2
rm -f test.mp4
# :99 seems to be the default for the selenium container
ffmpeg -f x11grab -video_size 1920x1080 -i :99 -codec:v libx264 -r 4 test.mp4
and I get something that looks like this
frame= 2 fps=0.1 q=-1.0 Lsize= 2kB time=00:00:00.25 bitrate= 75.9kbits/s dup=0 drop=413 speed=0.0165
the time stays at 0, and then goes up to 25msec when I stop it.
On the other hand, if I just start regular screen buffer in terminal #1
Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1920x1080x24
and run the same thing as above in terminal #2, everything works
Also, I am pretty sure that the above ffmpeg command worked in ubuntu 16, with ffmpeg-3.
So to summarise when the above ffmpeg command seems to work:
| ubuntu 16 (ffmpeg 3) | ubuntu 18 (ffmpeg 4)
just start Xvfb | works | works
selenium container | works | DOES NOT WORK
Any ideas?
selenium docker ffmpeg xvfb
