[FFmpeg-user] How to take perfect screenshots of UHD/HEVC vídeos?

[Kleber Duarte]

Hi, could someone give a tip to improve the quality of screenshots taken from UHD HEVC files of seedbox running rtorrent/rutorrent installed on Ubuntu Server Armhf 16.04 "Xenial Xerus" (32bits) OS? Many screenshots are shown without any image definition. I don´t have problem with the screenshots of FHD videos. I don´t know if is necessary any adjust in the lines codes of plugins, or if exist a best way to take screenshots through the terminal SSH?

I verified that the problem occur with .m2ts UHD files. I tested the screenshot plugin with .mkv UHD files and I didn´t have problems.

I am running the screenshot plugin from rutorrent gui. So, I don´t have any command or log.
