Hi Herman,

Thanks for providing links to the screenshooter source.

Based on your code I've tried implementing a similar method within our 
application but I still get a blank (black) image.

It's possible that under the hood the 'grabWindow' method is just saving the 
framebuffer.


Regards,
Evan

Hi Evan,

We don't currently have a 4.9 kernel running for our project since we're 
working mainly with mobile devices which are stuck on 3.4 and 3.18 kernels for 
now, however we do have small screenshot utility which we have as a plugin to 
our compositor which we have been using since early
Qt5 releases and we're currently on Qt 5.11/5.12.

Might be worth to give a go at your end:

https://github.com/webOS-ports/luna-next/blob/f5fc4c8af0d0c6f74f57d3963eb570966bc8fa55/plugins/compositor/screenshooter.cpp

And the header file at:

https://github.com/webOS-ports/luna-next/blob/f5fc4c8af0d0c6f74f57d3963eb570966bc8fa55/plugins/compositor/screenshooter.h

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Herman
