Uses ffmpeg to capture a (remote) webdriver desktop screen.

Usage

Add the following beforeEach/afterEach hooks:

  },
  afterEach: function (browser, done) {
    require('nightwatch-video-recorder').stop(browser, done)

      "videos": {
        "enabled": true,          // Enable video recordings

        "dir": "reports/videos",  // Video directory
        "ext": ".mp4",            // Video file extension
        "resolution": "1440x900", // Display resolution
        "fps": 15,                // Frames per second
        "hostname": "localhost",  // X11 server hostname
        "display": "0",           // X11 server display
        "pixelFormat": "yuv420p"  // Output pixel format
