#4164 closed defect (fixed)

x11grab (xcb) with show_region gives (partial) static image

Reported by: DiJuMx Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: avdevice
Version: git-master Keywords: xcb
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Reproduced by developer: yes
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

Summary of the bug:

Specifying show_region when using xcb-based screen grab causes the region to become static (and recorded as such). Without show_region, the region is not static and is captured as normal.

Example output here: http://youtu.be/QZdEPZmWNG8

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 320x240 -show_region 1 -i :0.0+100,100 -f mp4 capture.mkv

Yes, I just tried it, and it doesn't appear static. Could you try with the offset, so:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -show_region 1 -i :0.0+50,50 -qscale 2 out.avi

If the top-left corner of the capture region is "+x,y", the non-static portion of the capture seems to start at "+(2*x),(2*y)"
