See the file COPYING for license information.

Description:
------------
With this plugin you can take still images of your screen. After installing
the plugin, a new mainmenu entry "Screenshot" will show up. Each time you
select this item, a file /tmp/screenshot-yyyymmdd-hhmmss.jpg will be created.

To get a screenshot with a single keypress, add a line like this to your
keymacros.conf:

...
User5    @screenshot
...

After that, pressing your user-button 5 will create a screenshot.

If you want to hide the mainmenu entry you will have to apply the 
patch-keymacros-for-hidden-plugins.diff in the patch/ subdir, otherwise
the user-button will stop to work, too.

Troubleshooting:
----------------
If you experience problems when using the plugin, check

- if your image-directory exists and is writable to the vdr user

- if you have the correct device node for your video device (/dev/video0 or similar)

When you find an error, I would be happy, if you send me a bug-report. When you expect
a crash please include a backtrace (using gdb or similar) if possible.
