@section kmsgrab

KMS video input device.

Captures the KMS scanout framebuffer associated with a specified CRTC or plane as a
DRM object that can be passed to other hardware functions.

Requires either DRM master or CAP_SYS_ADMIN to run.

If you don't understand what all of that means, you probably don't want this. Look at
@option{x11grab} instead.

@subsection Options

@table @option

@item device
DRM device to capture on. Defaults to @option{/dev/dri/card0}.

@item format
Pixel format of the framebuffer. Defaults to @option{bgr0}.

@item format_modifier
Format modifier to signal on output frames. This is necessary to import correctly into
some APIs, but can't be autodetected. See the libdrm documentation for possible values.

@item crtc_id
KMS CRTC ID to define the capture source. The first active plane on the given CRTC
will be used.

@item plane_id
KMS plane ID to define the capture source. Defaults to the first active plane found if
neither @option{crtc_id} nor @option{plane_id} are specified.

@item framerate
Framerate to capture at. This is not synchronised to any page flipping or framebuffer
changes - it just defines the interval at which the framebuffer is sampled. Sampling
faster than the framebuffer update rate will generate independent frames with the same
content. Defaults to @code{30}.

@end table

@subsection Examples

@itemize

@item
Capture from the first active plane, download the result to normal frames and encode.
This will only work if the framebuffer is both linear and mappable - if not, the result
may be scrambled or fail to download.
@example
ffmpeg -f kmsgrab -i - -vf 'hwdownload,format=bgr0' output.mp4
@end example

@item
Capture from CRTC ID 42 at 60fps, map the result to VAAPI, convert to NV12 and encode as H.264.
@example
ffmpeg -crtc_id 42 -framerate 60 -f kmsgrab -i - -vf 'hwmap=derive_device=vaapi,scale_vaapi=w=1920:h=1080:format=nv12' -c:v h264_vaapi output.mp4
@end example
