recorder-for-jetkvm

recorder-for-jetkvm is a small command-line utility for JetKVM devices. It connects to the JetKVM video stream, detects visible screen changes, and writes MP4 clips only when something changes. It can also capture a single PNG screenshot and exit.

By default:

recordings are saved in your operating system's video folder
screenshots are saved in your operating system's pictures folder

Build

cargo build --release

The binary will be available at target/release/recorder-for-jetkvm.

Usage

Record screen changes to MP4 files:

export JETKVM_PASSWORD='your-password'
./target/release/recorder-for-jetkvm --host 192.168.1.130

Capture a single screenshot:

export JETKVM_PASSWORD='your-password'
./target/release/recorder-for-jetkvm --host 192.168.1.130 --screenshot

Override the default output locations:

./target/release/recorder-for-jetkvm \
  --host 192.168.1.130 \
  --output-dir /path/to/recordings \
  --screenshot-output /path/to/capture.png

Use a password file instead of an environment variable:

./target/release/recorder-for-jetkvm \
  --host 192.168.1.130 \
  --password-file ~/.config/jetkvm-password

For the full option list:

recorder-for-jetkvm --help

Notes

Use --no-tls-verify if your JetKVM is using a self-signed certificate.
Screenshot filenames default to recorder-for-jetkvm_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.png.
