mod-screenshot

This is a small nodejs-based utility that renders either a modgui or pedalboard screenshot from a MOD unit connected via USB.

It uses pupetter behind the scenes, which in turn uses an embed version of Chromium, to render a web page and output and PNG file.

NOTE: Usage of this tool requires a MOD unit running at least v1.13.2

Docker

For using this tool within docker, run this command once, with the source code as the current directory:

docker build -t mod-screenshot .

Then run this command for generating a screenshot, specifying the plugin URI:

docker run --rm --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -v $(pwd):/tmp/output -e PLUGIN_URI="plugin-uri" mod-screenshot

If you prefer local builds you need to setup nodejs and python's pip first.

As with any nodejs-based tool, you first need to install nodejs. Then simply install the dependencies using npm, like so:

npm install

This will create a local node_modules folder where the dependencies are stored.

Generating a modgui screenshot: (uses plugin URI)

Generating a pedalboard screenshot: (uses bundle path)

node screenshot.js /root/.pedalboards/BRIG_SVTube.pedalboard

Generating a screenshot with a locally hosted mod-ui:
