GRC services

GRC (Game Recording) uses libstagefright and the NvMMLite TVMR library for writing recorded video to MP4s.

Error reporting is done using the new /dev/nverpt-ctrl ioctls.

CreateVideoProxy

No input, returns an #IHOSBinderDriver.

SetAlbumShimLibraryVersion

Takes a total of 8-bytes of input, no output.

OpenOffscreenLayer

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, returns an output u32.

CloseOffscreenLayer

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, no output.

StartOffscreenRecording

Takes an input u64, no output.

Seems to be unused by official user processes, #StartOffscreenRecordingEx is used instead.

AbortOffscreenRecording

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, no output.

RequestOffscreenRecordingFinishReady

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, no output.

StartOffscreenRecordingEx

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle and an #OffscreenRecordingParameter, no output.

CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinish

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle and a type-0x5 input buffer, no output.

Seems to be unused by official user processes, #CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinishEx0 is used instead.

CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinishEx0

Takes two input u32s width/height, an input u64 LayerHandle and 2 type-0x5 input buffers, no output.

The input buffers are optional, addr=NULL and size=0 can be used for these.

width/height must be 1280x720, these fields are unused afterwards.

Besides width/height, this is the same as #CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinish except the second buffer is user-specified instead of addr=NULL/size=0.

CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinishEx1

Takes two input u32s width/height, an input u64 LayerHandle and two type-0x5 input buffers, returns a 0x20-byte output struct.

Same as #CompleteOffscreenRecordingFinishEx0 except the output struct is returned in the cmdreply.

EncodeOffscreenLayerAudioSample

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle and a type-0x5 input buffer, returns an output u64.

GetOffscreenLayerError

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, no output.

GetOffscreenLayerRecordingFinishReadyEvent

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, returns an output event handle with autoclear disabled.

GetOffscreenLayerAudioEncodeReadyEvent

Takes an input u64 LayerHandle, returns an output event handle with autoclear disabled.

OffscreenRecordingParameter

This is a 0x80-byte struct.

IHOSBinderDriver

This is the same interface as NV IHOSBinderDriver.
