Snapshot

HMP Control Center home page

The snapshot generated by the player is a JPEG image that represents the content currently being rendered. You can find it on the Control Center home page.

• Click the "Refresh" button to reload the snapshot image.
• On legacy players, you need to open the "Snapshot" page.

Player dashboard in Cockpit

Alternative ways of getting the player snapshot:

• Cockpit

  Open the player dashboard in Cockpit. This is only accessible for players using the premium monitoring service.

  Once a player is added into Cockpit, it automatically uploads its snapshot to Cockpit at a certain rate. A new snapshot can be requested from the player dashboard.

• Use the Status API

  You can request the snapshot using http(s)://Player_address/status/snapshot.

• Use Pull Mode

  You can use the upload action of Pull Mode along with the -snapshot option, for automatic upload of the snapshot to a designated server. This action can also be triggered with the add_pull_action RPC command.

Note:

Although the snapshot image can be generated as low as every 10 seconds, this process uses some CPU power and might interfere with the smoothness of the rendering. Therefore, the snapshot should not be requested very often - the minimum interval should be at least 60 seconds.
