    Description

      Context

      VncRecoder sometimes, actually quite often crashes due to error in 3rd-party lib vnc2video

      "We" - foundation with BIG help from Duy, Luong - were trying hard to fix / stabilize VncRecorder which which seemed to fail very arbitrary.

      While we did fixed some stuff on our side - see MGNLTEST-425, SAASTEST-91 - we also figured that the even if the setup is fine ...

      • VncRecorder starts up properly and may do a recording ..
      • But at some point arbitrary it just crashes

      This can be clearly observed in Jenkins build log, where we run a docker ps directly after spinning up docker ...
      and before grepping its log-file to save it as vnc.log of the corresponding build.

      Apparently vnc2video is not maintained anymore.
      There is an issue report on the project with a PR to fix the bug.
      -> https://github.com/amitbet/vnc2video/issues/11

      We may want to fork the project, apply the PR and see whether it increases the stability of the VncRecorder
