@decker-christian It's more of a feature request than a bug.. should I tag it as such?
ffmpeg with the command I've given usually has much better results than any of the programs xscreensaver-getimage-video uses. Most of the time, with the default utilities, the picture is quite messed up, at least on the webcams I've tried. Whereas in the same situation, ffmpeg -vframes 1 gives a quite good picture. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xscreensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449233 Title: ffmpeg not used by xscreensaver-getimage-video Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: xscreensaver-getimage-video does not support ffmpeg as a video capturing program. A command to grab a single frame of video from the webcam would be: ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 -ss 00:00:01 -vframes 1 -f png <filename> ffmpeg is a relatively common program to have, and so including it as an option for xscreensaver-getimage-video would be useful.
