Record guest session

Post by antonjo »

I would like to record the guest session. I tried:

Code: Select all

vboxmanage modifyvm vagrant-office  --recording on --recordingvideores 2570x1270 --recordingvideofps 30 --recordingvideorate 2048 --recordingopts vc_enabled=true
At first I get:

Code: Select all

vboxmanage showvminfo vagrant-office

Capturing:                   active
Capture audio:               not active
Capture screens:             0
Capture file:                /home/test/VirtualBox VMs/vagrant-office/vagrant-office.webm
Capture dimensions:          2570x1270
Capture rate:                2048kbps
Capture FPS:                 30kbps
Capture options:             vc_enabled=true
But running the command after a while:

Code: Select all

Capturing:                   not active
Capture audio:               not active
Capture screens:             0
Capture file:                /home/test/VirtualBox VMs/vagrant-office/vagrant-office.webm
Capture dimensions:          1024x768
Capture rate:                512kbps
Capture FPS:                 25kbps
Capture options:             ac_enabled=false
So recording does not work.
If I set the commands via the GUI it works for the first guest run, but later I have to set them back.

What is the procedure to set recording parameters via the CLI or via the GUI, but in a persistent way?

Regrettably, Vagrant isn't supposed in this forum, you'll have to go to their website.

If you uninstall Vagrant and use plain official Virtualbox's screen-recording feature, in the guest's Display Settings Recording tab, and still have problems, then please feel free to ask again.
