HP iLO Video Player Using HP iLO Video Player HP iLO Video Player enables you to playback iLO 2 console capture files without installing iLO 2 on your local system. iLO Video Player is designed as a typical media player with similar controls. You can run iLO Video Player as a standalone application on either a server or client. Typically, the application is located on the client. iLO 2 capture files are created using iLO 2 Console Capture feature, see "Using Console Capture (on page 5).

A buffer area is set aside in the management processor to store captured video data. This buffer area is shared with the firmware update buffer, so any information captured is lost when you start the firmware update process. You cannot capture video data during the firmware update process. Buffer space is limited. Only one of each type of event is stored in the buffer area at a time. To replay, transfer the captured data buffers to a client running the IRC or iLO Video Player for replay.
Troubleshooting Video capture file does not play Verify that the file is a valid HP iLO 2 capture and is not corrupted. Video capture file plays erratically iLO 2 capture files are recordings of screen activity. During long periods of screen inactivity, the recorded inactivity is truncated to reduce file size and improve playback performance. This can cause the playback to appear to start and stop, or play erratically.
