1. Update OS: ??? example "Recording video from terminal on Linux or Mac OS"
{!_update_os.md!} 1. Install `ffmpeg` and `websocat`.
2. Install `ffmpeg` package and reboot: 2. Let's assume that your PiKVM is located on `https://pikvm` and uses a self-signed certificate.
Request the stream from it from the first opened console on your PC (not PiKVM):
```console ```console
[root@pikvm ~]# rw [user@host ~]$ websocat -k wss://pikvm/api/ws?stream=1 -H X-KVMD-User:admin -H X-KVMD-Passwd:admin
[root@pikvm ~]# pacman -S ffmpeg
[root@pikvm ~]# reboot
``` ```
3. After reboot, switch filesystem to RW-mode again using the `rw` command 3. Keeping the previous command running, open a new terminal and run the video recording process:
4. To record a video, open the Web UI (i.e. stream should be running) or connect via VNC.
Next, run the recording process in the current directory:
```console ```console
[root@pikvm ~]# ustreamer-dump --sink kvmd::ustreamer::h264 --output - | ffmpeg -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i pipe: -c:v copy my_video.mp4 [user@host ~]$ websocat -b -B 10000000 -k wss://pikvm/api/media/ws?video=h264 -H X-KVMD-User:admin -H X-KVMD-Passwd:admin | ffmpeg -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1 -i pipe: -c:v copy my_captured_video.mp4
``` ```
5. Press `Ctrl+C` to stop the recording, and don't forget to switch filesystem to read-only mode using the `ro` command. 4. Same can be done on PiKVM itself, locally.
