We don't have a Cockpit Action for the most important feature: recording videos

[rafaellehmkuhl]

We should add it, and in a way that the user can use it just with the joystick.

With the current MiniVideoRecorder behavior, the user would have to also click to select the desired stream to be recorded, but this adds 3 more clicks and the need to use the mouse/touchpad.

Is this a duplicate of #610?

I think it's one of those cases where your issue is wider 😅
I think we can keep both and finish yours only when both recording and snapshots are implemented, so we don't do what we did in the last ones, where I finished your issue, but there were actually a lot more features there that didn't get implemented on the linked PR.

@ES-Alexander @pkmiles any ideas on how that should work?

I'm thinking of something like having a video recording action that is configurable.

• It could be used without being configured, in which case it would only work if there's only one stream available;
• If there's more than one stream available and it is not configured, it will trigger start/stop recording on all streams;
• The user will be able to associate the action to an specific stream, doing it on the video configuration page, or in an actions' configuration page;
• The user would be able to create many of those actions, one for each stream, to be able to control then individually;
• Alerts for start/stop of those would be emited so the user can have a feedback about what exactly is going on (e.g.: "Started recording stream 0", "Stopped recording stream 2", "Started recording all streams", etc);

What do you guys think?

Will close this one with #737 and open a new one referring to this, about adding the ability to record specific streams.
