Build: Latest Selenium 3.x:

selenium-video-node

This project adds video recording capability to a Selenium Grid. Videos are encoded into WebM/VP8 format on-the-fly and made available at the end of the test.

Features

Easy setup - just need to add another JAR file to the Selenium Node classpath
Excellent video quality (at about 8-15 frames/sec)
Additional support when running under the Xvfb virtual X Server on Linux (6 times faster video encoding)
Simple API to retrieve videos
Extensible storage mechanism for video storage

Mis-Features

Video encoding is done using native code (using JNA) - unfortunately this means that additional effort is required to support more plaforms.

Example videos

For example videos recorded using this plugin, see the examples page.

Video Node System Requirements

A dual core processor (one core for video encoding, another for everything else). It is possible to lower this requirement by reducing the framerate.
32-bit colour display output - 8 bits red, 8 bits blue, 8 bits green, with either 8 bits of alpha or 8 bits unused. See Wikipedia for more information.
A Java 6 JVM (or higher) running on one of the following platforms:

Platform	Support	Tested?
Linux x86_64 (64-bit)	Yes	Yes
Linux x86 (32-bit)	Yes	Yes
Windows x86_64 (64-bit)	Yes¹	Yes¹
Windows x86 (32-bit)	Yes	Yes
Mac OS X 10.9 x86_64 (64 bit)²	Yes	Yes
Mac OS X 10.5-10.8 x86_64 (64-bit)²	Yes	No

¹ - Compiled and tested on Windows 7. ² - Compiled with flag -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 - it should work with older OS X versions.

The above does not apply to the Selenium Hub, which does not perform any video processing.

Additional Features

The Video Nodes can change some of their behaviour, based on certain command-line parameters. See Additional Features on how to make that happen.
