VirtualBox Version 6.0.8

VM is running in headless mode. I would like to start to record the display from command line. Earlier it was possible by executing this command:

{{{
VBoxManage controlvm <vm_name> videocap on
}}}

And when I wanted to stop the recording the following command was executed:

{{{
VBoxManage controlvm <vm_name> videocap off
}}}

If I know it well from VBox 6.0(?) this is the valid command for my purpose:

{{{
VBoxManage controlvm <vm_name> recording on
}}}

But now I got these error messages:[[BR]]

''VBoxManage.exe: error: The machine is not mutable, saved or running (state is Running)''[[BR]]
''VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE (0x80bb0002), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine, callee IUnknown''[[BR]]
''VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: ""COMSETTER(Enabled)(TRUE)"" at line 1879 of file VBoxManageControlVM.cpp''


When the GUI of the VBox is used for starting/stopping records (Settings\Display\Recording\Enable Recording) the process is done well but executing from Command Prompt is getting me stuck..."	defect	closed	other	VirtualBox 6.0.8	fixed	VBoxManage, controlvm, recording, commandline		Windows	Windows
