idb video-stream not working

[DavidAsulin1]

Description

idb video-stream --udid <UDID> not working. Expecting for streaming to start output to stdout, but nothing happened, also tried to pip the stream to ffmpeg like the doc suggested. When it starts, I got Running stream until ^C but when I ^C I get this output:

idb video-stream --fps 30 --format h264 --compression-quality 1.0 --udid 8748744C-0D38-4043-8877-4439855964F4

Make sure idb/your app has camera access enabled.

[SPrasadT]

@Alex15190 - Which app are you referring to?

[muhanov]

Similar issue We sure we added Camera permissions. Our app is requesting them. But idb works time to time, absolutely unstable.

[tburakdemir]

@muhanov Hey, although we gave the camera permission to terminal, video-stream is still unstable. Did you find any solution?

@muhanov Hey, although we gave the camera permission to terminal, video-stream is still unstable. Did you find any solution?

@tburakdemir No we didn't. Our decision is to write our own app for screen capturing.
