 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
