nixlos · 06-17-2014, 04:25 AM

Hi

Is there a Way to take a Screenshot from my kindle 4nt over ssh or telnet?

Iam searching for a script/command

Thanks

assuming you have linux. and ffmpeg. and usbnet and preshared keys.

will need tweaking for your exact scenario I imagine. sizes and whatnot.

no pre-shared keys? sshpass would work I guess.

The actual command line entry (in several flavors) are highlighted.
I.E: it is just one step (one command line command).

Top line of post states the requirements needed on your PC.

Still lost?
All (full) distributions of Linux (and others of the *nix family) have the man(uals) installed.
The 'man' command is your friend.

Also, web search engines understand the 'man' command.
As in:
man ffmpeg

I was gonna put "screenshot" but vaguely recall it not working on the 3. glad its on the 4.

NiLuJe · 06-17-2014, 01:52 PM

It might have been called snapshot at one point, or put the files in /mnt/us/documents instead, but IIRC, there's been one such tool as far back as I can remember.

nixlos · 06-17-2014, 05:20 PM

i dont know why, but the command dont work, here you see what happen

Pull it from a K5 image file and add it to the K4?
Same screen (with funky drivers) and SoC - should 'just work'.

If the OP had a little more Linux experience . . . .
It would be easy to describe how to do it.

(and it is screenshot on my KPW-5.3.3, and does dump to root of USB storage)
