xd:\clips\file.mp4).
You can also use the XBOX Manager tool to capture video and save to your local PC.
wdcapturesession start
Starts a capture session and saves it to the scratch drive in MP4 file format.FilePath is an optional parameter where the path defaults to d:\clips\sessionvideo_[timestamp].mp4. FilePath requires an MP4 extension in the name. If you don’t specify a path, the file is written to the d:\clips path.
Max duration in seconds is optional and defaults to 3,600 seconds.
Calling start while an active session is being captured returns the error “Error: Cannot start session capture, Recording in Progress” (0x8C111120).
wdcapturesession start /f:<filepath> /d:<maxduration in seconds> /autostop
wdcapturesession stop
Stops a capture session and completes writing the file to disk. Will be called automatically if low disk space is detected.wdcapturesession stop
Using Real-time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) with wdcapturesession
RTMP is an audio/video streaming protocol that’s suitable for archival purposes, such as running tests and for live streaming.RTMP doesn’t support encryption. Don’t use it to transmit confidential information over the public internet.
wdcapturesession start /f:rtmp://servername/live/streamname.
Similar to the existing scenarios, wdcapturesession stop stops the streaming session, publishes the stream, and then closes the connection to the server. This feature is restricted to devkits.
RTMP has the following limitations:
- A default maximum time limit of 1 hour (3,600 seconds). Use the
/d:option if you want a longer recording. - Video is sent in H264 format at HD resolution, 30 fps, around 5 Mbps.
- Audio is sent as AAC stereo audio.
YouTube requires this option to switch from the default to "live" publishing mode when receiving output from wdcapturesession.
A suitable URL might be rtmp://servername/live/streamkey?publishmode=live.
